The Stripper Luna (1-15 Rewritten)

Chapter 19

 5 years later...

They say everything happens for a reason, but what idiot came up with that. I was a regular wolf hosted by the Moon Goddess who damned me. I wouldn't say I wasn't happy but I was also feeling empty on the inside. My other half was somewhere and hopefully, he was happy with his new mate. I made sure to find him someone close and perfect for him. Someone who was loving but also didn't take his crap. Someone who wasn't just a stripper. I made it a habit, not to check-in. But Jack makes me happy. We both agreed not to officially mark each other. We wanted to build a life together. We built our pack from those who needed a way out of theirs in the state of Utah. We built it from the ground up and he has not talked to his family in so long. I told him he could but he said he didn't want to bring his brother pain. I think I did a very good job of keeping him happy. It only takes food and sex and we were pretty good at that. But my main focus was on making sure I pair some of the best couples. The Goddess has guided me on how to use my power and we found it was best to attend the balls that they have. No one knows who I am and that is the best part. They think I am just a guest but really I am pairing those up.

But a lot has changed in the last 5 years. I mean a lot. I was spending time doing paperwork in Jack's office as he got some work done. This was our favorite time where we shared an amazing bond. He comes with me to most events so he helps plan them out. Karina always comes along, I mean I need to train her for when she comes of age to take over. That is the only way the curse ends. This is when I am free to do what I want. But I had Jack and I don't think there is any way I could stop loving him. "I know I said I was going on a diet, but would it be wrong to want a burger right now?" I questioned. Jack let out a laugh. I was laying on his desk throwing a ball above my face while he was just sat there on my computer. "Babe, you started your diet yesterday. Honestly, I don't see why you need one because you look great." He placed a kiss on my stomach that was exposed from my crop top. "I am old, one day my metabolism will slow down. I have to stay healthy." He caught the ball mid-throw to hold on to it. "I don't see what you see." He said before throwing the ball in the hoop on the door. The door had opened up to a crying child. "That's what I see." I propped myself up and walked over. "Hey Ryn, what are you doing out of bed?" I asked her. She rubbed her eyes as she sniffled. "I want Daddy." She asked. Shuffling behind me was heard as Jack walked to my side and lifted her in his arms. "I got her. I am the favorite." He joked. I laid a kiss on her forehead before he whisked her away. That is what has changed. She didn't come long after we settled down here. Karina is now 10 and she is the biggest brat ever. So we have been busy raising both of them and still maintaining an active sex life. But it was easy with him, there was no boringness either. I grabbed his jacket and mind and found our way to our room. It was late and we needed to head out early in the morning. It was busy being important.

I laid in bed knowing that tomorrow things can change. I was called back home. This would be the first time I am coming face to face with Vincent since I left. He is the only one who knew who I was and my position was being questioned. My judgment was being called for as I moved to the next phase of my power. Which was answering prayers. But I wasn't able to call it until I handled my biggest fear. Facing my mate after all this time. The Goddess had told me that my mind is blocked due to regret and guilt and if I didn't face it I wouldn't be able to progress and train Karina the right way. The door opened showing Jack coming in. He climbed on top of us with the blanket in the middle of us and just held me. "You're nervous aren't you?" I asked him. He inhaled and exhaled hard. "Do you think you'll be able to handle seeing him?" He asked me. The truth is was I was nervous but I can handle it. I've spent the last 5 years learning that sometimes things don't work out. It's like when I pair someone up with someone who turns abusive and the guilt eats me up but I can't do that. Not everyone is a good person. "You have nothing to worry about and if you do my neck is right here." He looked up at me and just smiled. "We both know it wouldn't be wise to do that just because you're scared. I trust you and I love you. But I am happy to finally see and talk to my brother after all these years." He wasn't lying. I think this fucked up situation made him closer with his brother and I don't know if it's pity or just respect. He rolled over to my side and got under the blanket and cuddled up next to me. Vincent took over and repopulated Jack's old area. I gave him the tools to be successful but I don't know how much he's done. When I say I have not checked up in a long time it's because I refuse to. My heart broke anytime I thought of him.

Tomorrow was going to be a hard day for all of us. I am there for the mating festival and to face my fears and we are leaving right after that. But the nasty feeling that I felt made me feel uneasy. We didn't know what we were going to walk into. How he would react when finds out I have a child. Betrayal because that's how I would feel if I saw that. But tomorrow should bring us peace, or not.
