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

We had gotten back home some days after my swim with Victor. After we had set Murphey free of his duties, Victor had left, despite his insistence that he would be able to stay if I wanted. I reminded him that he had already escorted us here and he, too, was an Alpha and had a pack to run. 


With a grumble and a final kiss, he had left me to my city. When everything calmed down some time later, and Alexander was well on his way off with our cousins to explore the underground city, I had taken to Jack and told him of what I needed to do.


There were ways he could have taken it, and there were ways he couldn’t have. 


“Did you know?” I asked eventually, but he shook his head.
