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

“Let’s go for a walk.” Tanner reached down to me, extending his hand as he moved to pick me up. “Maybe the air will help cool everything down.” 


I nodded and reached up and took his hand, leaving Talia and Kia behind to get ready for bed. Once we were outside, and after a few moments of silence, Tanner spoke.


“You know Talia didn’t mean any harm, do you?” I nodded my head in response and Tanner sighed. “Sometimes, she just lets her words carry her, instead of accessing the situation properly. She didn’t mean to push you.”


I knew he was right, of course. Therewere enough instances where Talia had ended up saying the wrong thing or saying too many things when they weren’t necessarily needed in the moment. I didn’t fault her for it, we all had our things that we weren’t capable of controlling—for me that was my anger.
