A Killers Mate

Chapter 18-19

Chapter 18

Tiana's POV

     I step into the pack doctor's office in my white coat, and I greet her with a smile. "Ah! You're here.", she says as she gets up. "We have a big day! We have a she-wolf having a pup today!", she tells me as she slips her black coat on. "Okay! Let's go and do this.", I say almost a little too excited. Baby delivering is what I studied most, and I love little pups. As we walk to where the she-wolf is staying, I admire the head doctor's black coat. "You will get one soon enough. You are training with me for a reason.", I look at her curiously "And that is?", I ask her. "I want you to be head doctor.", she says right before we enter the she-wolf's room.

       She is VERY pregnant and VERY much in labor. "Okay ma'am just breath.", I tell her, and I look at the head doctor. "You're going to push when I say push okay.", she nods to me. In due time, she gives birth to a healthy baby girl. "Congratulations", the head doctor tells her. "Healthy and happy baby girl."

       I am in the back room washing my hands when the head doctor steps in with me. "You did great for your first time.", she tells me, and I look over at her from over my shoulder. "Thank you, childbirth is what I went to school for.", I finish washing my hands and I turn to face her. "Well, I don't have anything left for you to do today so you can go back to the pack house if you wish luna." she tells me as she leaves the room. Luna, the title is still strange to me, but I smile non the less. Luna Tiana, not bad. I think to myself as I walk back to the pack house to sit with Jackson for a little while.

       I make it back to the pack house and I walk into Jackson's office, only to see a random she-wolf that has him backed into a corner. "What. Is. She. Doing.", Persephony growls in my head. "Come on alpha, you can't really be wanting to make HER luna.", she says to him getting one step to close and Persephony snaps like a brittle twig and takes me over. She grabs the she-wolf by the back of her neck and launches her across the room. "And WHO do you think YOU are touching MY MATE!", she snarls in her face, and I can see the fear in her eyes. "I, I... apologies luna. I-", Persephony cuts her off. "If I EVER see you back in this room for any other purpose other than related to the pack. I'll rip your throat out. Do I make myself clear.", the she-wolf nods in fear and she runs out of the room.

       I turn and look at Jackson, my eyes still a rich purple from Persephony. "Goddess, you are amazing.", Jackson whispers as he slides down the wall, sitting on the floor. I walk over to him, and I kneel down in front of him and I gently grab his face. "You are mine, and mine alone. If another she-wolf ever tries that again. You call me immediately. Understand?", this is all me, and I see Jackson's eyes widen as a she-wolf is telling him what to do. "Yes ma'am.", is the only thing he can get out. "Good, now do you want me to sit with you or not?", I ask him as I stand up. He stands up and looks at me. "Yes, I would love you to. Because you are the first woman to scare even Venom.", he says with a grin as he sits at his desk. "Well, looks like we are meant to be after all.", I say with a smile as I place myself in his lap.

        Tiana and Jackson sat like this doing paperwork together for the rest of the day until nightfall. 

Chapter 19

Jackson's POV

       Me and Tiana were up in my room, and I can't help but let my mind wonder if she feels any different. "Hey, Tiana can I ask you something?" I ask her as I look behind me to see her. "What is it, Jackson?" she says looking up from her book. "Do you actually want to be my luna?" I ask as calmly as I can, but deep down I'm panicking for her answer. It's silent in the room for maybe ten seconds, but it felt like a lifetime before she answers me. "Yes I do, I have liked you for as long as I can remember. Although, it's going to take me some time to really see that you are still the man I remember." she says as she slides over to me. "I do want to be your luna Jackson, but I want to be the luna of the Jackson, I know you are. Not the Jackson, you made yourself to be." she puts her hand on my back, and just the warmth of her calms me. "Pinky promise?" I ask as I hold my hand up with my pink out. She interlocks our pinkies. "Jackson Richmend, I pinky promise you that I will be your luna."

       I look at her with a smile. "Thank you, Tiana." I tell her and she leans agenized me. "You're welcome love" she tells me as she places a soft kiss on my cheek. "If it eases your mind, I really have seen the old Jackson quite a lot. With your brother, your mom, my own mother, and me. You are the Jackson everyone knows and loves; you just need to show other people that you are." her words ring in my ears but smile at them because I know she is right. She was always right, even when we were kids. I think back on those days, and I chuckle.

       "What are you laughing about?" Tiana asks me with a smile. "Just, thinking about when we were kids. When we were still just innocent pups that didn't know anything about the world." I feel her arms wrap around me and I trace my fingers up her arms. "I think about it all the time, how we used to chase each other through the woods." she says. "And swim accosted the pond to get away from my mom!" I say laughing. "Oh! That's right. Luna Stella can't swim!" she says giggling. I admire her face; her every fetcher is perfect. "She always had to call your mom or my dad to come get us." I smile, and yet I fell the hurt from what my father made me do.

       "Hey" I hear her say in a soft tone and I look at her. "What happened that day, isn't your fault." she looks at me with love and care, and I feel the tears fall. "I know it isn't, but it feels like it is. If I hadn't even said yes to it, he would be alive with my mom. Happy..." I feel my voice want to brake and she hugs me tighter. "No Jackson, the goddess plans everything. I'm sure she had this planned for a reason." she tells me, and she places a soft kiss on my lips. I smile at her and kiss her forehead. "I truly do love you Tiana, and I hope you see that." I say as I rest my forehead onto hers. I hear her heart speed up. "I know you do Jackson, and I love you too" she whispers to me, and I smile. I stand up and I kneel on the ground in front of her. "I need to ask you this now even if I don't get the answer I want to hear. Tiana Foster, will you take I, Jackson Richmend, to be your partner and be my luna until death forces us to part?" I say this with my head bowed to her, my hands in my legs. "I, Tiana Foster, accept your court mend ship Jackson Richmend and to be your luna." I hear her say and I look up at her to see her smiling. I stand up and I take her into my arms, holding her close.

      Her arms wrap around me, and we stood there for what seemed like forever. Until she giggles and turns us around pushing us back onto my bed, and she snuggles up close to me. "You are adorable." I whisper to her as I run my fingers through her hair. "Thank you, Jackson," she mumbles and after a few minutes I feel her breathing slow down. "Sleep well my luna." I whisper as I place a soft kiss on her cheek. I feel myself drift off into a dream full sleep.
