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

My head lifted up at the sound of a voice I had grown up listening to my entire life. 


Kate stood there, just a few paces from my table in the coffee shop I had asked her to meet me at. In the same town I had grown up in, far from both Lycosidae and First Moon, away from all the danger that I had come to know. 


“Hi, Mom,” I called out to her and watched as her old face softened. 


She waited for me to stand up, and I walked toward her with a huge smile and open arms, relishing in the way she held me again. It had been so long since I had heard from her that I forgot what it was like.


And I thought, in that moment, it was an awful thing to have forgotten the way your mother used to hug you. When had all those memories been replaced by sadness and grief, and the torture Luke and Sidus had put me through, and the shredding of bones to grow new ones?
