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 felt like I was running from the silence.


Then the thoughts came to me. Like a tidal wave, like a tsunami—like a hurricane ripping through every brick and bone and beam of what I was. 


I thought that with Victor beside me, nothing could tear me down. I didn’t know why I was so stupid to not think that it might be him that did. Because the hurricane, the tsunami, the tidal wave—they all looked the same. 


I wondered if he could see me. I wondered if he could sense me. 


The creak of the door was barely a sound amidst the giggling between them, between the rustle of sheets and laughter that they seemed so unashamed to harbor there between their naked bodies. 


For a long moment, all I could do was stand there. I would have felt like an idiot were I able to feel anything at all. I realized then it in that moment that it might have been the reason why. The reason why the link between Victor and I seemed so withered.
