Dr. Luna (Book 1-4)

Chapter 5

Kade stood at the open door staring at the situation in front of him. Tyler was standing in front of Lilly who was now wearing Tyler’s shirt and only his shirt. While Tyler stood in front of her with only his shorts on. Tyler growled at him in agitation making Kade look up to the ceiling. Lilly was thankful for his interruption just then and she quickly escaped a few feet from Tyler.

“What kind of sandwich.” Lilly walked up to Kade eyeing the plate in front of him. She felt famished and the warm smell of melted cheese hit her nose.

Kade continued to look at the ceiling but smiled as he answered her. “It is my famous grilled cheese and ham sandwich. No one can resist it!”

“That sounds great. I’ll come downstairs and eat it. Just give me a minute to get shorts on.” Lilly thought that the sandwich sounded delicious and could not wait to dive into it. Kade walked out of the room and Lilly turned to Tyler as she stood by the door. She raised an eyebrow at him which was telling him to get out.

Tyler was irritated over the whole situation. Kade had interrupted a good moment between them. He had the feeling that another second longer and the mate pull would have had them in each other’s arms. He was also irritated since he knew she was upset with him still over the Jessica incident. He reluctantly walked past her and out of her room.

Lilly shut the door and let out the breath she had been holding. That was too close. She was about to pounce on this man she barely knew. Everything about him was perfect and her animalistic side wanted to devour every inch of him. She needed to pull herself together. Thank goodness for Kade.

Lilly grabbed and put on a pair of underwear and her shorts. Tyler’s shirt was so long that it covered her shorts, so it still looked as if she only had a shirt on. She thought about changing the shirt, but wearing his warm shirt was like being in his constant embrace. It was something she was craving so she decided to indulge herself in his shirt and scent. Then another scent hit her nose. She could smell a hint of the perfume that Jessica had been wearing on the shirt from when she had run into his arms. Lilly could feel the anger build up inside of her. She did not understand what was wrong with her, no one usually bothered her this much. It was like her emotions were out of control and Kira was ready to pounce at this vulnerability.

Lilly flung the shirt off of her and stared at it like it had bitten her. She hated how she was reacting lately but knew that it was because of the mating bond. She grabbed one of her own shirts and tossed it on and grabbed Tyler’s shirt off the ground before leaving the room.

Lilly bounded down the stairs and marched up to the kitchen bar where Tyler and Kade were seated. Lilly tossed the shirt at Tyler and then took her seat beside Kade away from Tyler.

A low rumble was heard in Tyler’s chest as he stared at his mate sitting happily next to Kade. He held up his shirt and looked over at her. “What is this about?”

“I can’t wear that. It has another woman’s perfume on it.” Lilly did not look up from her sandwich and continued to enjoy it greedily. Inwardly, she was fuming, but she was trying to reel her emotions in or to at least cover them.

“I’ll get you another shirt then.” Tyler shrugged it off like it was nothing.

Lilly could feel her little control begin to snap. “Do not worry about it. I brought my own shirts that smell like home.”

“This is your home.” Tyler barked back. Kade sat in between the two and his wolf was hunkering being between his snarling Alpha and Luna.

“That is not one hundred percent decided yet.” Lilly said tersely as she took in the last bite of her sandwich.

“It has been decided. You belong to me and nothing will ever change that.” Tyler said smugly.

Kira let out a growl through Lilly causing Tyler to laugh in response. “We need to get your wolf under the control of her new alpha. She will tame down some then.”

Lilly’s hands were white as she braced the bar in front of her. She was struggling to calm Kira down. Kira, calm down. I think you will feel different once you meet his wolf. Lilly was trying to reason with Kira. I know you are not used to being accepted. I am not either. Try to control your anger so we can see everything clearly.

Fine… if his wolf reacts badly to me though I make no promises. I do not want to live where I am not accepted. Kira finally admitted what was bothering her and Lilly felt everything calm down.

“Lilly, are you okay?”

Lilly felt an arm spin her around and before she knew it, she was being held captive in Tyler’s arms. Lilly blinked realizing that she had to retreat deep in her mind to get control of Kira. She could feel a liquid dripping from her nose.

“Is your wolf doing this?” Tyler’s voice was calm as he reached up and wiped the blood from her nose. His gray eyes looked over Lilly with concern.

“Yes and no… it is complicated.” Lilly bit her bottom lip. This was all tied to her secret. One she had to let him in on before he could decide if he really wanted her as his mate or not. “I will explain it to you some time. There is a lot for you to consider before you decide that you really want me for your mate.”

“I have already decided.” Tyler had already decided if he even had a decision in it. She was his mate, and he could not think of any reason he would not want her by his side.

“Perhaps.” Lilly said quietly. She became aware of his close proximity to her and could feel the heat off of his body. She needed to escape this dangerous situation. “Thanks for the sandwich, Kade. It was delicious.” Lilly stood up and backed out of Tyler’s arms, causing him to frown. “It has been a long day, if you do not mind, I would like to get some rest.” Lilly did not wait for a response as she turned and went back to her room.

“What do you think that is about? I have never heard of someone having to battle their wolf that hard?” Tyler looked at Kade.

“Hmmm.” Kade said as he stayed deep in thought. He already noticed something but was keeping that to himself for now.

“What is it Kade? You suspect something don’t you?” Tyler raised his eyes as he looked over at Kade. He knew him well. Kade was five years old when he came into the pack. The two boys became best friends and were inseparable ever since.

Kade smiled over at Tyler as he took a sip of his drink. “Just a suspicion for now.”

“You don’t plan on elaborating, do you?” Tyler shook his head with a frown as he leaned against the bar. Kade was incredibly loyal to Tyler, but already he was forming his own loyalties with the future luna. Whatever he was suspecting he was keeping the secret for her sake. Tyler watched as Kade nodded to him with an apologetic smile. He did not push it anymore. If it were something, he needed to know then Kade would tell him. For now, he would let Lilly keep her secret.

Lilly plopped into her bed. She did not know why she did not just go ahead and tell Tyler about her. You know exactly why you are not telling him Kira reminded her. Lilly let out a dry scoff as she rolled to her side. Kira was right, she did know why. She wanted to know how it felt to be accepted, even if it was just temporarily. She had craved the acceptance from her pack and never got it. No matter what she did, it was never enough. She could never prove herself to them. For once, even if it was just for a little bit, she wanted to know how it felt to be part of a pack.
