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

There were many human scholars who spoke about death. 


Some say that our spirits would be tied down to this planet forever, forced to rejoin their loved ones in different eternities through animals, spirits or other people. Some others say that death is the final voyage, that there would be no returning back to this world. Another idea is that this world, wonderful and joyous and loved as you are in it, is nothing but a prison, a test for you given by the person—or thing—that had created you. 


I didn’t know about any of that. I had been around death for too long to begin questioning its motives. All I knew was that it came when it pleased and robbed a home as it liked.


All I knew now of death was that it had come again.
