Star's POV -

When we got home, Marco and I watched a movie 🎥 with some magic and once Marco fell asleep I snuck out because I really needed some questions answered before I can even try to pass out and rest.

My mind's racing with a million questions, and only Mom can answer them so here it goes and with that final thought, I push open her office doors.

"Mom, I need your help." I said not letting my pride get in the way, I saw how shocked she looked before she quickly covered it with her normal stone expression.

"Take a seat, Star." She said pointing to a chair. I sat down and scooted the chair closer to her desk and then looked back at her.

"So What is it that you need my help with?" She questioned

"I really need some questions answered and your the only one I can talk to about it and you always have the answers to everything." I stated and then I bit my bottom lip nervously.

"Star continue, what is your first question?" She asked almost sounding like she was  encouraging me.

"Well ummm I guess the first one is what do you know about the Blood Moon?" I asked

My Mom seemed a little taken back by the question she took a minute to get herself together. "Why do you ask?" She questioned

"Can you just answer first please I promise I'll tell you after you answer my questions." I said nervously

"Okay? Well the blood moon has been around longer then the butterfly's wand it brings together soulmates who are otherwise unaware of each other and the love they share for the other. So the blood moon brings them together by pushing them to be closer. It shows up as a reminder at times of the soulmates love." She explained and then paused but then continued.

"It entwines the souls together for eternity, as they are basically one. It can't make the two love each other it just makes sure in the end the two soulmates are together. Few people have ever found their soulmate without the help of the blood moon. Furthermore, some people don't even have soulmates." She concluded

I felt frozen as I slowly processed what my mother had said......Me and Marco are......are soulmates. When I came to my mom was studying my face waiting for me patiently.

"Umm Okay, my other question is Are our cheek marks alive?"

"Well they are alive in prospect they react to our emotions and our powers, they aren't living beings in themselves." She stated

"Well I don't have anymore questions for now." I concluded

"That's fine dear now may I ask my question before you take your leave?" She asked

"I guess go ahead." I said cautiously scared of what she was going to say.

"Marco or Tom?" She asked with a smirk I've never seen on her before and my mouth just hanged open.

I was stuck in that position for what felt like hours but was probably just minutes. Once I snapped out of it, I knew she wasn't going to accept me not answering. So I just sucked it up and said.......

"Marco" I mumbled blushing softly.

"I thought so." She stated

"How did you know it was Marco?" I asked curiously

"I could see and feel the connection between the two of you, however I had no idea it was as deep as a soulmate bond." It got awkward and quiet after a minute and I knew it was time for me to get up and go.

"Okay bye mom see you tomorrow." I said as I walked out her office doors.

As I walked into my room and I found Marco hugging one of my pillows to his chest, he is so cute. I didn't have the energy to wake him up or to change that conversation was emotionally draining.

I carefully took the pillow from him and tossed it to the side. Then I slid under the covers and snuggled into his chest breathing in the scent I just adore 🥰 as I drifted off to sleep.
