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

I was in my study when it happened. The door burst open, and half of the members of the elder council approached me as I sat there behind the large oak desk. 


“Gentlemen.” I greeted, eyeing Axel on the other side of the door just as he approached. 


There was something in his eyes that told me he didn’t know what this was about, either. I gave him a slight nod, telling him that it was alright, but to stay incase this ended badly. 


“Is there something I can help you all with?” I asked as I stood up, standing up and moving to the other side of the desk where I leaned against the front of it. 


My arms folded over my chest as I regarded the men in front of me. 


“We must talk about Sidus,” one of them pushed, the one closest to me. “This can no longer go on as it has been.”
