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 was floating this time, unaware of who or even what I had become. 


There were so many memories falling around me like hail, like snow, like rain, and amidst it all, I somehow managed to stay dry. And then something stirred around me, moving as though through all the falling around me. The hail and snow and rain seemed to part at the long, shadow-cloaked presence that emerged. 


However, there was no alarm in me that I could find—the hairs on the back of my neck were not standing on alert, and there was nothing in my bones that was telling me to run, to hide, or to fight.


It was the same woman from so long ago. Her long fingers trailing behind her on the ground, and there was a lilt to her tone as she twisted her head to stare at me. But there were no eyes that were looking at me, and I didn’t know whether or not it was me staring at her or her staring at me. 


I nodded my head in greeting, not daring to say anything more.
