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

“How is it that after I expressly laid down one rule, you two seemed inadequate at following it?” 


Those were the first words Jack had asked us when we had stepped into his office the next morning. 


After the swimming session Victor and I had, the two of us made our way back to his room where we found a frantically pacing Talia walking up and down the room with her hand in her mouth, looking beyond freaked out over the fact that we were not where she had left us. 


We’d gotten a scolding from her, and despite the fact that she seemed freaked out that we weren’t where we were last she saw us, she seemed overly relieved that we had also come back. She took me back to my room after, with another warning not to pull something like that again, where I apologized profusely and had to admit where we had gone and what we were doing. 


Talia seemed to know where I was speaking about and didn’t seem too mad after I had explained the situation to her.
