The Unknown

Chapter 5

Sophie POV

It has been a long couple of days in work with all the talk about our compulsory staff night out and how I was apparently turned down by our CEO Mr Day. So I then took solace in the arms of a wolf. I mean yes Samuel did take me home and as far as I was aware nothing happened between us, I am sure I would remember my first time. Although I should check that with him as I was in his t-shirt when I woke up so who knows. But as for me being turned down by Mr Day I am positive it was the other way round. This company doesn't half have some gossip.This is not the sort of thing I needed at the moment. I have done everything this week to be out on time and avoid any uncomfortable and unwanted running's with Mr Day. Just the thought of his arm around me sends shivers down my spine. I grab my things to leave work and my phone Buzzes in my bag. I pull it out to see a text from an unknown number.  “Pick you up at 7. J x” 

“Oh crap” I mutter, I had forgotten all about my date tonight. I quickly text back. “okay , where are we going? just so I have some idea what to wear. Sophie”

“Just wear anything you are comfortable in. J x”

Argh that doesn't tell me much. I head home to get myself ready. Quickly jumping into the shower I let the hot water beat my skin. My head is racing so many thoughts bombard my head about tonight. I don't want to get too attached after the way he was with Samuel yet he seemed to kind towards me when we had breakfast. I just don't want to get caught up in this and be left broken hearted. I emerge from the shower and search for something comfortable yet nice. I finally decide on black skinny jeans and a chiffon blouse. I let my hair down on loose curls and but on a small amount of makeup. I don't want to look like a clown. Plus I don't want Jason thinking I will always be made up he has to like me for me. I take one last look in the mirror before I grab a pair of vans and pull them onto my feet.  My phone buzzes letting me know that Jason is outside. I take a deep breath and walk down to meet him. 

As I open the door, there he is stood in front of his car, his hair in perfect waves holding a single moonflower. My heart leaps in my chest and I can't help but stand there and smile.  Handing me the flower he takes my hand and places one small tender kiss on the back of my hand. I feel myself melt and any doubts I had about him were gone in that second. I feel like an i***t falling for this guy, a werewolf that I have just met. All the negative things I had been told about them by my grandparents were gone. How they could say those things were beyond me. 

“You look incredible” he smiles, snapping me out of my thoughts. Colour rushes into my cheeks and I look down. As I look up at him through my lashes I take him in. I can see by his expression he is nervous yet eager to go. “ shall we go” he gestures towards the car, opening the door for me to climb in.

Once I am sat in the car all nervous begin to disappear I can’t explain it. Then it dawns on me that werewolves mate for life and as far as I know from my extensive research they have never mated humans. Maybe this is just a game to him. Maybe he is doing this as a bit of fun for himself. Or maybe I am wrong. I mean I have fought with people over their attitudes towards them also caused a lot of issues with my grandparents over it.  I can’t help but have all these thoughts. I feel sick. 

“Moonflower is everything okay?” he looks at me puzzled like he knows something is wrong. “Talk to me Sophie maybe I can help with whatever it is you have going on inside that pretty head of yours”

“Uh nope it’s nothing” i say looking out of the window of the car. I feel his hand on my shoulder the warmth soothes me and I relax immediately. How  does he do that i melt into his touch. When he pulls his hand away a small whimper leaves my lips I want to feel his touch. He can sense it too. We pull up and he nods his head towards a small hi end bar. I am definitely not dressed for this place I so should have put heels on. I put my head in my hands and grunt why couldn't he have told me I would have at least dressed a little more appropriately.  He opens the door for me and exends his hand for me to take I don't I climb out and cross my arms over my chest feeling really under dressed. He places his hand on the small of my back relaxing me with a single touch and leads me to the entrance. The door man looks me over and then smiles. “Alpha Jason good to see you”

“Good to see you to Tom” they shake hands and we are let through

“Your table is ready for you. Samuel said you wanted your private table and everything you asked for is there” he says with a smile. “Enjoy your evening” 

“ I’m sure we will” Jason laughs. His laugh is incredible it just makes me smile. 

“You have a private room here?” i ask puzzled. 

“Yes I own this bar” he says as if owning one of the fanciest bars in the city is nothing. 

“Wait you what? You own this bar?” 

He chuckles “yes is that so hard to believe?”

“Well no. I’m just a little surprised is all I expected the owner to be some rich boy who only allows women in that have more skin on show that covered” with that Jason bursts out laughing. He laughs so hard that tears stream down his face. 

“You are one of a kind Sophie knight”
