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

Her question made me pause, and she continued at the brief look I gave her. “When you came back dripping in Luke’s blood… we were there. My mate and I were a part of the group that was going to be sent out to look for you.”


I shook my head at her confused, wondering why any of this was important for her to tell me. 


“We thought you were… the weak and defenseless would-be-traitor… but instead you were the wolf that brought our alpha justice, that saved herself and decapitated one of the men who killed our former alpha.”


I was going to tell her the decapitation hadn’t been my intent, I just wanted to kill him and escape, but she went on.


“We were wrong, Luna,” she pressed as she took another foot forward. “Our parents are wrong. And I’m going to spend the rest of my life begging for forgiveness if that’s what it takes.”


My brows pulled together at her declaration. “What does that mean?”
