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.”

An echoed voice broke the silence first. It was angered, it was vengeful, as though there had been a slight on it so intrinsic, like who they spoke of had stabbed it themselves.

The Fates were quiet as they considered this. Yes, Tara was vengeful. Yes, Tara wanted revenge. Whether she knew it or not, there was something stirring inside of her like an anger infantine—a slow, butterfly flap of something that was ready to strike. 


Her hate nestled in her like a predator stalking its prey, waiting for an opportune time. But when would that be? Soon? Or later, when all chance and reason had gone from her? The first Fate mumbled, grumbling its disgust, hating how things had turned out for them.
