Dr. Luna
Chapter 34

Lilly looked down at the men looking at the hillside with urgency. They were all there. The centaurs, the werewolves, and the guardian. "Ummm... what's wrong?" Lilly yelled down to the men.

"Lilly, what happened to you?" Tristan yelled up to Lilly as he looked at her appearance. She had blood covered over her face and her arms were bleeding as well. She looked as if she had been in a vicious fight. Lilly looked herself over and shrugged. She noticed the little centaur girl nearby and put together what had happened. The girl went for help because she was worried about her. She better let them know she is fine.

"I'm fine. It's just a few scrapes and cuts nothing serious. I was just trying to catch my breath before the climb down." Lilly gave them a sheepish smiled and a wave to show she was okay. However, what she showed was the arm that had been cut deeply from the broken rock and still had crimson drops oozing out.

Instantly, Tyler shifted into his wolf and in effortless leaps was on the ledge with Lilly. He stood in front of her and was looking her over intently.

Lilly smirked, sure make the climb easy with your wolf, she could have done that too. She scooted back towards the edge of the rocks so she could rest her back against the stone wall. She then patted the ground beside her for him to lay. His eyes met with hers before he obliged her and obeyed. He curled up next to her and rested his head on her lap. Gently, she began to rubbed his head and pet him.

"I told you I was okay. I was just climbing up here to get their ball. It's just a few cuts, they'll heal." Lilly rubbed his ear, and he leaned his head into her.

You should see what you look like. You have blood all over your face. How couldn't I be worried? Tyler mind linked to her.

Oh yeah. She forgot she could mind link with him. Mentally hearing his voice made her stomach tighten in response. She had really missed him. She leaned down and hugged him around his soft neck, closing her eyes as she savored his touch. His fur was warm and soft, like her own personal blanket.

"I didn't know if you were coming for me." She quietly spoke into his neck. As she held him, he began to feel different. She was no longer touching fur. He had shifted back to his human self.

Her heart began to race as she stared into his eyes. She still had her arms around him, and she felt her chest clench. How did she not realize just how much she missed him? Her eyes watered up as he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her deep into his embrace. He held her tightly, not leaving any gaps between them.

"Of course, I came for you, silly girl. How could you ever think I wouldn't?" Tyler whispered into her ear.

"Well you did hold a pack meeting with out me..." Lilly sniffed bitterly.

Tyler kissed the side of her head sending tingling sensations down her body.

"I wanted them to speak honestly and I was afraid they wouldn't with you there. I also told them that if they didn't want you in the pack that they would have to find a new Alpha, because my place is with you." Tyler smiled as she pulled back and looked at him with wide eyes.

"You said what? You couldn't do that. That's your pack-"

"And you're my mate. It's simple, I won't be without you. No matter what, you are mine. I told you that already Lills, you belong to me. What do I need to do to get that in your head?"

".... What about Jessica?" Lilly bit her bottom lip as she stared anxiously into his eyes.

Tyler looked at her sadly. "Have you been worried about her?"

Lilly nodded at him slightly. How could she not worry about her? She was his fiancé and then she keeps catching them together. Always acting closer than just friends.

Tyler crushed her body back into his and held onto her body tightly. "I'm sorry Lilly. I should have explained things better before so that this was never a worry. I don't love Jessica, I never did. Her brother died while protecting me and I always felt guilty towards her over that. When I didn't think I would ever find my mate I obliged her since I knew she wanted to be with me. I was wrong and should not have done that. I misled her. I set everything straight though. I told her she will never be my mate and that from now on she needed to treat me like her mated Alpha. I am no longer someone she can treat like a fiancé. I also told her if she can't accept you as her Luna, then she had to leave. You are it for me Lilly. You are the one who occupies my thoughts and my mind." "Really? I'm not just some delicate fairy?" Lilly pulled back and gave Tyler a crooked smiled.

Tyler chuckled. "I was jealous. I didn't like how attentive you were being with another guy. I know you are a doctor, but I want all of your touches for myself. I got envious and acted childish. Won't be the first or last time Lilly, I hope you can put up with those imperfections of mine."

Lilly's eyes glistened as she stared at him. He had apologized and smoothed over most of the things she had been worrying about. A small tear trickled down her face. "If you can put up with mine, then I can put up with yours."

Tyler stared into the green shining pools. He reached his hand up and gently cupped her cheek in his hand. He felt her lean into it and the moisture that had been running down her face. His heart wrenched as he thought how she didn't know if he was coming for her. Not come for her? He could barely breathe without her. He needed her and the fact that she didn't know how much he needed her saddened him. If she could only feel the way he felt about her, then she would have no doubts. "Man, Lilly... I've missed you so much." Tyler's eyes trailed from hers and to her lips.

She felt her breath grow heavy under his intense gaze. He was staring at her, wanting her lips, but he wasn't closing the gap. The gap she suddenly desperately needed closed. She couldn't wait for him to close it. She could not deprive herself for a second longer. She moved in, wrapping her arms around his neck, pressing her lips into his. She felt him greedily respond to her and the two were soon wrestling for dominance with their tongues. Small sparks were tingling through her body, her heart rate was quickening, and she was feeling breathless.

They pulled apart for air but kept their eyes firmly on each other. Tyler leaned in and kissed her gently on her forehead before leaning his head onto hers. We have to stop for now. I am naked. Anymore and I am not going to have the self-control to not devour you right here, right now.

A small blush crept over her cheeks. She had forgotten that he was naked after shifting. She nodded to him and he gave her a crooked smile.

He looked over her arms and examined the small cuts she had over her body. "All this for a child's ball? Lilly, you need to be more careful." Tyler frowned as he looked over her body.

"Good thing I am part werewolf, and these will all be healed soon." Lilly winked and stuck her tongue out at him.

"That's not the point Lill." Tyler snorted at her.

"Yes, yes... I know." Lilly leaned forward and pecked his lips lightly.

"Let's get you down from here." Tyler shifted back into his wolf and then stared at Lilly. You waiting for an invitation? Hop on.

"I get a ride!" Lilly squealed acting like a child getting her first pony ride. Lilly pulled herself onto his back and giggled.

Hold on tight, I don't need you falling. Tyler's voice spoke gently in her mind. She tightened her grip and then felt him move closer to the edge. She looked down to see the crowd of men still waiting for them at the bottom. She had forgotten about everyone else. It was as if it was only her and Tyler who had existed. She felt him leap into the air and in three easy bounds he was back onto the ground.

"Awe, is the ride over already?" Lilly pouted like a child.

At least until I can get you home and back in bed. Then I promise you another fun ride. Tyler's voice was low and promising.

She felt her cheeks heat up and then slid off of his back. Kade walked over and launched a pair of shorts to Tyler. He then walked up to Lilly and wrapped his arms around her.

"I've been so worried about you. Don't get kidnapped again." Kade scolded playfully.

"I'll scratch it off my to do list." Lilly smiled as she leaned into his hug. She couldn't explain it, but it felt like having a bit of home. Lilly felt an arm snatch hers and pull her backwards. She was now leaning into Tyler's side again.

"That's enough Kade. I haven't seen her in days and don't plan on sharing her." Tyler leaned his head down and breathed in her scent.

"So possessive." Kade snorted and looked at Cedric with a grin. She was acting normal again. Whatever was bothering her did not seem like it was anymore.

"Lilly?" Tristan walked up and stood in front of her, a small frown on his face.

Oh yeah... Tristan. She was so caught up in Tyler that she had forgotten about the whole guardian thing.

"Are you mad at me?" Tristan asked sullenly.

She was at first, but she was just confused. She still was confused, but she was not angry at him.

"No, but the next time you're my guardian just tell me. I don't like all these secrets." Lilly watched his eyes and felt Tyler's arms shift around her. She glanced over at Kade and Cedric and then over to Drake. Yeah, there was still something she was being left in the dark over. "More secrets?" Lilly whined and pushed her back into Tyler's chest. This whole secret thing was getting old.

"Just a few." Tristan watched as she rubbed the sides of her head. "Are the headaches getting bad?"

Lilly nodded. "They've been coming and going but getting more intense."

"They will get worse, especially if you were awakening on your own. I can help you with that though. I can help ease it for you."

"I'm going to have to remember... something unpleasant, aren't I?" Lilly knew her memories of her mother's death were always fuzzy. She was sure that this was the reason why.

"Yes." Tristan gazed into her green eyes. "There is still a lot to talk about. Let's just take things slow. We will get you back home first. Then worry about the rest."

Lilly smiled up at Tristan in appreciation. "Good, I can't wait to be back home." She felt Tyler's arms squeeze around her in agreement. She felt like she had been gone forever. Soon, she would finally get to go back home.
