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

“You wanted to see me?” I called in as soon as I stepped through the threshold of Emerald’s room. It was easy enough to find the woman once I had gotten word she wanted to see me, there was little place else she often held herself up in these days. If it wasn’t the gardens, then she was here, in front of the open window of her bedroom lounging on the couch.


But Emerald’s situation wasn’t just… lounging. It wasn’t like she had been doing nothing the past few weeks while everything else had been going on. No, Emerald was here held up in her room so far away from the view of the public because of one reason.


“Come sit with me, dear,” her voice sounded weaker than it had the last time I had heard it. Her strong legs she had once used to run through forests and across plains were tucked beneath her, shielding themselves from even the harsh gaze of the sun.
