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 was maybe the second time Axel had asked me that question. I turned my head to him and nodded again. The others had already retreated, moving as far away from Victor’s line of sight as they could. 


I nodded my head to the boy in front of me and gave him a comforting smile. It wasn’t like we had any other choice, and the more we stood here debating it with each other, the more agitated Victor was going to become. 


“Go, take care of the others. I’ll try and bring him back as soon as I can.”


“We’ll come looking for you at sunset, if you aren’t back by then,” he noted. 


Axel spared Victor one last glance before he moved, and I wondered for a moment what must be going through his head—to see his best friend, his Alpha, in such a state and not being able to bring him back. This was his one duty as Beta, to be able to protect their Alpha in a way no one else could, and yet, here he was, standing before him, weak and powerless.
