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 familiar with the story of Queen Tiye?”


My breathing became shallow as Sidus walked into the room. “She was the daughter of Yuya and Thuya, eventually, she became the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III.”


“If you wanted to give me a history lesson, I’m sure we could’ve set up a coffee date, instead of binding me with chains in your secret dungeon.”


Sidus let out a laugh as I seethed toward him. “Tiye wielded great power during both her husband’s and son’s reigns. She was Amenhotep III’s greatest councilor, she held great political influence, you see. Some historians believe that part of the reason why Amenhotep became as powerful and influential as he did, was because of his early marriage to Tiye.”


I narrowed my eyes at him as he crouched down in front of me. “Some of his adversaries surely would have put a stop to her beating heart, had they known what her influence would do.”
