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

“Your defense is unmatched,” Victor began. “It’ll be hard for an opponent to get you on your back, much less off your guard if you can manage to keep that up. But that’s just the thing, you can’t.”


I felt the tension begin to rise in the room as Victor continued voicing his observations on Kia. 


“Eventually, your energy will drain and you will tire yourself out long before your opponent. Once that happens, and you can no longer defend yourself, there’s no coming back from that. I was easily able to overpower you.”


“So is Sidus,” came my mate’s retort. “And his fighting wolves aren’t so behind on his fighting level and capacity. These wolves know war, they know what it means to fight to the death– you and yours, while you’re excellent protectors, have never known what it’s like to fight for something without your life being the thing on the line.”
