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

It had been a few days since Victor and I had come to this place, and despite their obvious care and concern for our comfort, there was still little trust being shown towards us as outsiders. 


Jack had taken it upon himself to keep Victor and I separated for our stay here so far. I didn’t know where he was being kept but it was in a room far from my own. I could still speak to him through the mind link, which was the only reason I was somewhat alright with not being able to see him for so long. However, it didn’t tell me anything about how well Jack thought about us being here. 


His words about helping us, about feeling as though he knew me from somewhere, hadn’t left my mind either. 


“Ow!” I cried out as a shovel hit my foot.


“Well, if you paid more attention to your surroundings maybe you wouldn’t be shovelled,” Tanner called out to me as he picked up his own shovel and walking into the garden entrance we had been walking toward.
