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

“I already did,” he said. “There’s only one solution.”


I turned to Victor with a confused expression, about to open my mouth and ask him what he meant by that. But before I could, I felt his hand on my arm, pushing me to the side slightly as he moved forward and grabbed both of the golden chalices from where they sat on the table.


And then, I watched as he poured the contents of one into another and drank the entire thing down. My eyes widened, and I let out a gasp before I rushed towards him and knocked the chalice out of his hand.


But the chalice that fell to the ground was empty, and Victor’s mouth was wet from where he had swallowed down the contents of both his and my chalice. I took hold of his face as I stared at him with wide eyes.


“What did you—Victor, no, no what did you do!” I turned from him to the examiner, “When does the poison take effect? How long! We have to redo this, we were both meant to take one each!”
