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 spent the entirety of the rest of the day thinking about my conversation with Sidus. I tried not to let his words phase me as much as they did and I tried not to let them dominate my thoughts and actions afterward. But how could I go on knowing what I knew now?


The desk in front of me was littered with papers upon papers—there was map work and documents and letters that Sidus had sent to to various unknown third-party wolves. I didn't know what any of the words or phrases meant, but I knew that it meant trouble.


Suddenly, there was a knock on my door and when I lifted my gaze, just as the door opened, my eyes landed on Hendrix making his way into the room. 


“Yes, Alpha,” the man in front of me stated as closed the door behind himself. “I just thought I’d check in, give you an update.”
