Chapter 23 

Lilly wasn't sure how to feel. Tyler made the issue, one that was heavy on her heart for so long, seem like nothing. Her biggest burden was really her pack's issue, not hers. Then the next realization hit her. He was going to accept her. She had been internally preparing for the rejection for so long. She felt her chest squeeze as she looked hopefully at her mate, their eyes meeting. She could see the hunger in his gaze as it lingered over her. 

"It's okay for me to want you?" Lilly bit onto her lower lip as she looked at Tyler. She had been afraid to feel like it was okay to desire him up to this point. She had been fighting it, and here she was torturing herself and him for no reason. A lot of misunderstandings and jealous reactions had happened between the two of them. Recognizing them was one step. In the future, they could continue to work on having a healthier relationship. 

Tyler let out a low chuckle. "Baby, it's more than okay." He looked over the delicious peach in front of him. The way she was biting her bottom lip drew his focus to her lips and his desires were rising to the surface. Anticipation was building up between them and their breathing became heavier. 

BOOM 

A loud bang of thunder shook the house, causing Lilly to yelp. She immediately covered her ears with her hands and clenched her eyes shut. Warm arms wrapped around her tightly, and then she was suddenly weightless. She opened her eyes to see Tyler carrying her. He walked out of her bedroom and then proceeded to enter the room next to hers. 

CRACK 

A sharp, loud c***k shook the place again. Lilly buried her head in 

Tyler's chest. Normally, at this moment, she would be experiencing horrible flashbacks, but being in Tyler's arms kept that from happening. She still trembled slightly, but she was no longer sure if it was from the storm or from being in his arms. The lightning flashed angrily, and she turned her head back to look around the room. Through the flashes, she was able to see herself being carried towards a bed. She had never been in this room. Tyler's room. 

"Why are we in here?" she asked, and then jumped a bit at the rumbling that came after the flashes. 

"Because..." He kissed her head and then her temple. "From now on, this is your room too. I'm not going to reject you. You have already made me wait for too long. Tonight, I am making you my luna." Tyler's voice was low, and it sent shivers throughout her body. "I think the best way to desensitize you to storms is to give you a better memory of them. And that's what I'm going to do." The seductive promise made her heart race as she felt him lower her onto his bed. 

The bed smelled of his scent and only his scent, which was a relief. Jessica had not been in his room. His smell made her head feel cloudy as he scooted in beside her. He reached out his arms and pulled her close to him. 

The low, rolling sound of thunder continued to growl, but Lilly could no longer hear it. She could only see and hear her mate. He leaned into her, gently kissing her face before he stopped at her lips. 

He looked at her luscious, tender lips that had never been touched. He took his finger and slowly traced over them. He grinned as he saw her shudder from his touch. She wanted his lips, and he was not going to deny her of them. He lowered himself closer to her and took them in. He was gentle on her lips at first, nipping at them gently and pulling them into his mouth. He then bit on her bottom lip, which made her 

gasp in response. He took this opportunity to thrust his tongue inside her mouth, to meet with hers in a passionate dance. 

The lightning flashed over her closed eyelids, but she no longer noticed the storm or its effects. She was consumed by sparks of her own as they washed over her with the demands he was making. He let out a low growl and ripped her shirt off of her. The growl was sensual as he removed his lips from her mouth to begin trailing down towards her neck. Her heart was beating a mile a minute and was thumping so hard she was sure he could feel it too. He rolled, positioning himself on top of her. He continued suckling and trailing kisses down her neck. When he reached her marking spot, he licked it. She shuddered heavily from the sensual action. She leaned her chest up and threw her head back, allowing him full access to her neck. This was what she wanted. It was what he had been waiting for since the moment he saw her. 

Tyler let out a low rumble in his chest as he began to suck on her marking spot. He felt her fingers dig into his back as the anticipation built up between them. He ground his hips into her. "You're mine. Say it, Lilly. Whose are you?" He growled in her neck. 

"I'm yours." Lilly answered breathlessly. 

"Whose are you?" He growled again. 

"I'm yours, Tyler." She shuddered at the vibrations of his growl. She was melding herself into him. Wanting more, demanding more. She arched her head back again and whimpered. 

He smiled at her eagerness. She wanted him just as much as he wanted her. With another growl, he pulled his canines out and licked at her spot once again. They were both breathing heavily, and their hearts were beating wildly. This was the moment every wolf waited for. The moment they would mark or be marked. 

Lilly's head swirled as she felt his canines sink into her neck, and she dug her fingers into his back. At first, she felt the stabbing pain from them penetrating, but soon a warmth waved over her neck. The pain had vanished as quickly as it came, and now, currents of pleasure were coursing through her body. He dug his canines deep into her neck, making sure that he fully marked her. The moment was so erotic and intense for Lilly. He slowly pulled them out, and she moaned as pleasure surged through her again. He licked at her fresh wound on her neck, cleaning up his marking spot. 

Lilly felt the shift and immediate disconnect from her old pack. A new world flooded open to her, and she was now linked to his pack. The marking of a luna transferred a new power through both her and Tyler. A marked luna and alpha were stronger. A mated and marked luna and alpha were at their strongest. Tyler kissed her neck and slowly lifted up, looking down at his mark, pleased with it, before returning to Lilly's lips. 

"Now, I'm going to make the rest of you mine." Tyler breathed lowly and then crashed into her lips. His hands removed the remaining clothing between them. He nuzzled his mouth at the base of her throat, feeling her pulse throbbing madly. Tenderly, he kissed the 

frantic rhythm as he let out a shuddering, passionate breath. Her 

naked body was scorching his flesh as he tried to control his passion. He wanted this moment to be special... for the both of them. 

His lips trailed down her neck to her bare breasts, his tongue snaking out to capture a taut n****e, drawing it into his searing mouth. Lilly let out a soft moan as she arched her chest into him. The sensations shooting through her body drove her crazy. Her hands clenched his shoulders as she delighted in the feel of his powerful body. 

His hand crashed onto her bottom, gripping it like a vise as the tantalizing scent of her arousal consumed his senses. A devastatingly primal growl rumbled from his throat as his fingertips trembled in excitement at the feeling of her wetness beneath them. 

He lifted from her as he kneed her legs apart. An inarticulate sound of hunger rumbled from his chest as his dark eyes gazed into hers. His probing maleness stopped at her entrance as he waited for her. As badly as he wanted this, he needed to know she was okay with it. Her eyes met with his, and she gave a slight nod for him to proceed. He pushed forward, slowly penetrating her warm, moist center. He took her easily, sliding his hands beneath her bottom to lift her to him. 

Lilly's eyes widened at the sensation of him. Her womanhood trembled around him, wanting to hold on to him, but he was moving slowly. She needed more, and she rocked against him, encouraging him to continue. This was what he was waiting for. He thrust into her, fully burying himself inside of her. Sparks ignited over their bodies as his possessive thrusts found a sensual rhythm. The wild, surging pleasure continued to build into a euphoric pressure. 

"Gods, you're everything, Lilly. Everything." 

Her hips rose and fell with his long, smooth motions. Soft moans escaped her lips as the maddening pleasure continued to build. 

"Mine," he growled, as he took her lips in a possessive kiss, claiming her mouth with the same passion that he conquered her body with. She moaned into his mouth as the pleasure overtook her. When he felt her tighten around him, he thrust faster and faster into her. He joined her in her o****m. Her hands dug into his back as he rode out the pleasure with her, thrusting deeper into her. She felt his warm seed fill her and moaned at the electrifying sensation. Her head fell back as she came down from her o****m. He lowered his head to her neck and nipped at it lightly before letting out a deep sigh of contentment. 

"Mine," he breathed into her ear, nuzzling his nose against the tender flesh of her neck. He peppered her face with soft butterfly kisses as he looked her over. "My luna." She gave him a soft smile briefly before his lips covered hers again. 

Thunder continued to ripple as lightning flashes lit up the room. The storm was no longer an issue. The night was young, and the two continued to explore each other with passion, sealing the mating bond. They were now bonded for life. She was officially the Diamond Pack's luna, Tyler Locke's mate. 

The sunlight flickered through the window and danced over Lilly's eyelids. She opened them and looked around the unfamiliar room. As she became more alert, she remembered where she was and what had happened last night. She looked up and over at Tyler, whose eyes were still closed. She took in his muscular torso and his sculpted arms. She couldn't believe that he was hers. 

"You keep staring at me like that and you're going to make me blush." A smirk played upon Tyler's lips as he opened his eyes to look at Lilly. 

She reached her hand up and brushed it through his hair. "I can't believe you're mine." 

"That's my line." Tyler leaned down and kissed her forehead. He 

looked over her delicate face, and his grin widened as it fell on her 

neck. "You should take a look at yourself in the mirror." 

Lilly furrowed her eyes in confusion. She sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room before the open bathroom door caught her eye. She rolled out of his arms and walked over to the bathroom, sporting her birthday suit. She flipped on the light and gasped as she looked at her neck. It wasn't only covered in love bites, but there it was, Tyler's mark. The love bites would soon be healed up, but the mark would never go away. It would always be there, so everyone would know she was taken. She smiled as she admired it. She never thought she would ever have a mate, so she never thought about what it would be like to be marked. 

She walked out of the bathroom and twirled around. "How do I look?" She was referring to her newly marked neck. 

Tyler chuckled. "You look like we won't be leaving this room today if I have to keep staring at you naked any longer." 

Lilly giggled. The thought was on her mind, but she felt energized and renewed today. She wanted to go out and greet her new pack. 

Tyler crawled out of bed and tossed her a shirt to put on. "Use this and then go get changed. We'll move your stuff in here later." He walked over and kissed her on the neck, listening to her purr in response. You better get going before I change my mind." Tyler eyed her up and down and his eyes flickered dark. 

Lilly pulled the shirt over her head and tiptoed up, kissing his jawline. Stop by my room. I'm going to get a quick shower first. And no, you're not joining me this time, I don't want to stay locked up all day." She giggled and then scurried out of his room. 

Maybe it was being newly mated or being mated to a powerful alpha, but she felt different. She felt confident, energized, and strong. and 

something else... a tugging sensation in the back of her mind.
