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

“You’re not coughing up as much blood,” was the first thing Axel told me when he walked into my office that day. 


I had been spending almost the entire day in the study, going over the contract that Kia had given us, comparing it to the laws and rules we ourselves had, while listening and reading over the complaints and thoughts of the elder council.


I held a small meeting with Hendrix himself, who had only just left, and despite keeping up appearances, felt more weak then ever. But Axel was right—the blood had slowed.


“I know, thank you for pointing that out,” I retaliated.


Axel laughed lightly, his grin growing wider at my sour expression. “Do you think you’ll just start projectile vomiting blood all over the papers in front of you? Should I knock on wood?” 


“I’d appreciate it,” I mumbled lightly. I heard a faint knocking sound somewhere in the room as I looked up from the papers I had in front of me to Axel and sighed. “What are you doing here?”
