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 back was turned to Siduis as he spoke—there was something in the air that made me freeze, there was something in the tone of his voice that made me pause. I knew well enough from what I had learnt in the past not to trust a wolf backed up against the wall, but I, too, was a wolf backed up against the wall. 


Maybe that's why I didn't leave until much later on that night. Maybe if I had just left them and not turned around back to face him, there were certain things that would not have happened. But I turned around. 


There was this glint in his eyes I don't think I'd ever seen before in anybody else's, I don't think I would ever want to see it again. But there was also something about the way that he was looking at me that told me that he knew things that I needed to know too. So when I turned around, I also walked forward.
