Tara Landon has never experienced love–even worse–she’s endured a lifetime of beatings. After reaching her breaking point, she decides to run away to start a new life without anyone pinning her down or holding her back. 

However, not far into her journey, she is intercepted by soon-to-be alpha Victor Bane, a brooding, mysterious, emerald-eyed man. The thought of him scares Tara as much as it arouses her. 

She doesn’t think much of the encounter until she learns that…oh, she’s destined to be Luna of Victor’s pack. The freedom she sought is quickly ripped away from her and she must make a decision: to accept or reject her fated mate.

“I have you for a lifetime, Tara. I can be patient,” he relayed with an erotic moan.

He looked me in the eyes, as I gestured for him to unbutton my blouse. I whispered, “You might be patient, Victor. But, it isn’t polite to keep a woman waiting.”

“What will it take for you to say yes?” he asked lustfully.

“Something you can’t give.”

The Alpha and His Outlander Luna

“Are you ready?” I didn’t look up at Victor as he asked me that question. How was I even supposed to answer that? “Hey,” he called out to me, and gently moved my head by my chin so that I was looking at him. “This was the right call, we can do this.”


“We have to do this,” I reminded him as I turned to look away from him and towards the table in front of us.


“I will begin explaining the rules now,” the examiner spoke aloud as he walked towards us.


Victor and I had been stationed at a table for some time now. Each of us at opposite ends of the short table, and in front of us, two golden chalices filled with a transparent liquid. At first, I had thought it was water until I got a closer look at it. The substance was thick and had an unnerving scent to it that I couldn’t place.


It wasn’t until sometime later when I realized that the scent had been artificially tampered with to make sure we couldn’t smell, or even see, the difference between the two cups.
