Chapter 23 - Chapter 23

Anthony's P.O.V.

Taylor went out with the girls to celebrate Luna Lilith's last day as a single woman. I wanted to go out with them but I didn't want to leave my little brother alone. Miguel, Jason, and Gary invited me but when I spoke to Joseph about it, he didn't feel safe.

Taylor was wearing a red dress that complemented her curves with her brown curly hair in a high bun. I was standing in front of the single male's building with a few of the other guys that left with us and some of the warriors that lived in the building. She looked over to me with a smile. I watched as Cakes and Gloria grabbed her by her arms and they walked up to the packhouse.

"Go after her!" Franky said to me.

"I will be back." I said to the group before I ran behind them. I could tell that her sister was not happy that Taylor found her mate.

"Hi handsome." Taylor said to me with a smile.

"Hey gorgeous. Sorry I can't make it tonight but I wanted to ask you, can I be your date for the ceremony?" I said to her.

"Yeah, I would love that." Taylor said. I wanted to kiss her so badly. She bit her bottom lip as she looked at me.

"I will let you go then. Have fun and I will see you tomorrow." I said to her before walking away. The guys were cheering me on as I walked back to the group. I sat down on the stairs as I kept my eye on Taylor. A few minutes after our moment, Luna Lilith and her sister Hera walked out of the packhouse and they walked through a portal.

I couldn't sleep, I looked at the cell phone Luna Lilith gave me and it was four in the morning. I wanted to be in Taylor's arms. I needed her! So I put on a t-shirt and walked outside to get some fresh air. Then I see a portal open up by the garden. I watched Alpha Miguel, Luna Lilith, and their group walk out. Taylor walked over to the single women's building with her sister.

"Hey handsome." I hear Taylor said. I look up to see her walking towards me still in the dress and heels she wore.

"Are you okay?" I asked her. Taylor walked over to me and kissed me passionately. I wanted to devour her, the sparks that traveled through my body were so intense. I felt my cock twitch in my pajama pants.

"I love you." I whispered to her as Taylor pulled away from me.

"I love you too baby." Taylor said smiling as she sat next to me on the stairs. She laid her head on my arm.

"Beautiful morning." I said to her.

"I'm kind of tired, I didn't get much sleep since we met." Taylor said smiling.

"You can laid down with me. We don't have to do anything that you are not comfortable with." I said to her.

"Where do you want us to lay down? I know you share a room with your little brother." Taylor said.

"I left him asleep. If anything, he can mind link me." I said to her as I stood up. Taylor stood up and grabbed my hand to lead me to the pack house.

Taylor's P.O.V.

Anthony and I walked into the packhouse and immediately the sounds of Lilith and Miguel hit our ears. I pulled him upstairs into my room and I pushed him onto my bed. I knew I was not going to able to sleep due to my wolf driving me crazy. Tai was so happy that we finally found our mate that she wasn't letting sleep. I kept seeing images of the way our bodies would intertwine as we made love. I wanted him but I didn't want to throw myself on him either.

"Wow, so much pink." Anthony said as I laid next to him in my queen size bed.

"Seriously?! I know! Miguel decorated my room this way." I said to him as he wrapped his arms around me to pull me close.

"My wolf has been driving me crazy since we saw each other earlier. I honestly didn't want to move fast but I have waited for you for so long. I'm happy and grateful you are here now." Anthony said to me.

"I'm a bit drunk and I just want to cuddle with you." I said to him. I closed my eyes and I went to sleep.

I woke up to an empty bed but I haven't slept that well in Goddess knows how long. I get myself ready in my bathroom and then head downstairs to see the house getting ready for the Luna ceremony and wedding tonight. I found myself alone since everyone else was still sleeping.
