The Unknown

Chapter10

Buzz buzz my phone lights up. "I'm down stairs. J x"

"Oh crap" glance at my surroundings, pulling a sheet of paper from my face. I must have fallen asleep. I don't recall going to bed last night. I was busy reading about deaths and kidnappings from 20 years ago. I quickly blast out a text 

"Give me 10 minutes you can come up if you want, doors on the latch" 

I dash into the shower have a quick wash and as I run out of the bathroom I see Jason through my bedroom door looking really awkward waiting for me.  I grab my black and white polka-dot skirt with a short white lace top. I drag my hair up into a perky ponytail and put on a small amount of eye liner and mascara. 

"Sorry, I totally lost track of time" I say grabbing my black vans, and walking into the rooms. 

His eyes trace over me taking in every little detail. I feel heat as his gaze drifts over me. "Wow, you look incredible" he says, taking my hand pulling me into him and placing a promising kiss on my lips. 

  JASON POV

I stand in her living room waiting for her. I hear the shower and know she is in a state of undress. I fight every urge to go in and claim her. I look around the room to distract myself and she has papers all over the table. I go to see what she has been looking at when I hear her say something. I  turn to see her stood there.  Wow she looks amazing I take in everything about her from her hair up in a ponytail down to her in a skirt paired with vans. "Wow, you look incredible" I say, taking her hand pulling her body into mine and placing a promising kiss on her lips. 

"Thanks" she smiles. I take her hand in mine and lead her to the street. I open her car door to show her that us werewolves can be gentlemen. She laughs at my gesture but I don't care. 

"So where are we going?" She asks. 

"Just wait and see moonflower" I don't look at her just smile as we pull out into the cities traffic. I drive to the pack land she looks as if she recognises it from when Samuel brought her here, but take a different route as a puzzle look washes over her. I pull up and walk around the car opening her door "Close your eyes" I place my hands over her eyes and she reaches up to hold onto my forearms, her touch is like ecstasy on my skin it drives me wild. 

"Seriously do I have to keep them closed" 

"Just a few steps more" i release my hands "open them" 

She gasps as she takes in the clearing filled with moonflowers. The sun is just going down and the moon is starting her climb into the sky. The flowers in the clearing move and open to the moons light. Just seeing Sophie's reaction has made the evening. I lead her over to a picnic blanket I had set up for us with a basket of food I prepared earlier.

SOPHIES POV

As I open my eyes I am stunned at the beauty before me. The moonflowers all start opening as the moon rises into the sky. It is breathtaking. Each white and purple moonflower is as beautiful as the other. Jason leads me over to a picnic blanket that has been set up and a picnic basket of food set up on the corner. Jason picks a moon flower and places it in my hair just above my left ear. He traces his finger along my birthmark and soothes all of the throbbing I have been feeling over the last few days I melt into his touch. " what's this?" he asks as he continues running his fingers over the mark. 

"Ow that" i give a half laugh feeling a bit conscious about it but just looking into his eyes the feeling subside "I was born with it, my mum and dad always said it was our special secret, but the moon was special to me as I was born under a supermoon" I look down and a small smile creeps onto my face recalling them telling me all about it. Then tears prick the corners of my eyes. I quickly blink them back and shake my head to clear my thoughts. 

"You were born under the supermoon? From what I have heard over the years any child born under the supermoon is destined for greatness. So your parents were right, you are special!"Jason says wiping a stay tear from my cheek. His touch soothes and I relax. "I think you are pretty special as well" I see his cheeks flush with some colour as he says the words. We both give an awkward laugh.

"My grandparents tried to remove it or change it when I was a child but they couldn't change it" a look of horror crossed over Jason's face. 

"Why would they do that to you?" He asked I hear some anger in his face as flashes of gold glint in his eyes. "They said it was a curse and the reason for my parents death, I never believed it but they did everything to try change my thoughts of the night. But nothing worked" tears threatened to fall as i thought back to my childhood. 

"There is no such curse to us, a mark of the moon is a mark from the goddess herself. You Sophie Knight are perfect and the moon goddess gave you that mark for a reason" A small smile creeps onto my face. He is so kind and caring it fills my heart. I know my feelings about him but does he feel the same I really want to know. 

We sit there for quite some time not saying a word, just admiring the scenery and the closeness of each other. As always my body knows how to ruin a moment and lets out the loudest rumble. I mean it was enough to wake the dead. 

He grabs the basket an pulls out so many different foods I have no idea where to begin

"I had no idea what you would like so I did a bit of everything" he shrugs "Plus if you don't eat it I will" a big grin spreads across his face. 

"Wait you made this" he nods "I mean you made all of this" he nods at me again. " I had no idea you could cook" i say pushing his shoulder

"Well I am a wolf of many talents" he chuckles "it was the one thing my mother was adamant about. I had to learn to cook" 

"Why" 

"I have no idea" 

"Well I'm impressed it looks amazing"

"Maybe that's why I had to learn to impress the ladies" he raises his eyebrows and i shove him with a laugh. 

"Ladies?" I question 

"I didn't mean ladies as I'm more than 1 I meant for my mate" with that he looks down before looking back at me, I can't help but smile. I feel like a bloody cheshire cat. We sit, eat and laugh some more. I honestly couldn't be happier. I have this pull to him. I can't explain it. I guess it's like a bond that just keeps growing.
