His sister

"Not a problem, but I hope next time I could see all of you…" Aiden said and looked back as if looking for me among all the present, then our eyes met. He smiled, and held his hand in my direction, "Come here, babe"

I felt everyone's gaze fixed again on me, so I almost ran into Aiden's hands, to hide from the extra attention, I still don't like. I can't resist the idea of hiding behind Aiden's back, I just can't get used to all the attention to my persona after they knew who am I.

"I was already looking for you, though you ran away…" he whispered, and hugged me tightly, pressing my body to his. I giggled.

"I had such an idea in my mind when I saw you hugging a girl… But, then I remembered you're already marked, and relaxed…" I laughed, and he joined me, then I looked at the girl, Aiden was hugging, and the other girls standing behind her. Her blond hair with pink and blue hair tips and her green eyes were already familiar to me.

"I should introduce you to each other, but you're already acquainted, right?"

I looked over her, and she looked over me from head to toe. When our eyes met, I felt some electricity running up and down my body, and then both of us at the same time smiled friendly.

"We do…" I smiled at her, then freed from Aiden's hug and held her in my hand. She took it, shook it, and suddenly hugged me.

"Happy to see you again," she hugged me so tightly as if she was waiting for her whole life to hug her brother's girlfriends. I just giggled and hugged her back.

"I'm happy too," I let go of her and run with my eyes on the other girls, standing not far away from her and Aiden.

"You're all so good-looking…" I couldn't resist saying this to the girls, as they were really stylish and good-looking, as well as strong. No wonder they were willing to come to this camp on their own and even asked Aiden for permission to join. Even if they were willing to help to protect me without even knowing me appropriately, the other reason was to prove they were strong and not as useless as someone might think.

I turned back into Aiden's hug and kissed his chin. He put his head down and kissed my hair.

"You're cute as well," Chipa said, then put her blond curl behind her ear, turned back, then pointed to all the girls behind her, "I haven't appropriately introduced you to Aiden's fangirls, right?"

I giggled from Aiden's snore, and the girls joined me. Chipa cleared her throat.

"But as far as Aiden has you, they are just my friends. I'll call their names in the same order they are standing, from right to left" when I nodded, she started "Kiri, Matsoine, Ifa, Ryuichi, Sally, Amy, Karolina, Aimy, Syl, Izumi, Lynn, and our small cutie Wendy. There are more of us, some girls couldn't just come, someone went to another city, someone just out. And as far as I know, some of them you already have met."

"Yes. Nice to meet you all again," I looked over all those girls again and the same inner feeling I had before appeared again. It seemed I had already known all of them for ages. They smiled back at me, waved their hands, and winked at Aiden. He chuckled near me and kissed my head.

"Welcome, girls, happy to see you here again. Take a good rest here and feel at home," Aiden announced, then looked at approaching Mark and Victor, "There are so many girls, I think we should take more boys in our camp… Or should I leave all of them for you?"

Mark and Victor pouted, while Aiden laughed. I freed from his hug.

"I'll go finish the fish coup" I kissed his cheek, took a bowl of fish from the table, and then went straight to the fire, where I saw a few new girls as well as Chipa.

"Hey, Letty, we were waiting for you. What's this boiling in the saucepan? Smells like…fish?" Asked Kiri, standing not far away from the fire.

"It's fish soup," I smiled, then came closer, taking a big wooden spoon and a bowl with the fish.

"Can I help you?" She proposed her help and looked at the fish in my hands.

"Of course," I smiled and gave her a bowl where the fish was, then looked at the other girls, "Sparkling wine? Beer? We seem to have enough for everyone…?"

They smiled at me and Chipa just opened her mouth to answer my question, when we all found out Chris was approaching us. He put a box full of beer and another one full of sparkling wine of different kinds, then grinned.

"Thanks, Chris. You read up my mind." I smiled, and he smiled back and then buried his fingers in his black hair.

"I didn't. It's Aiden."

"He's commanding again?"

"No, asked if I don't mind," Chris grinned as if he was waiting for those words the whole eternity.

"He's lucky," we both, laughed, and he went back to the boys' side of a camp. I already noticed the boys' company became bigger.

"Am I doing well?" I looked at Kiri, who just threw all the fish Aiden carefully cleaned into the boiling soup.

"Perfect!" I smiled at her and looked at Chipa, "You know, you have some same features as Aiden. Even if no one would tell me you're his sister, I'd understand that by just looking at both of you closely."

"We share the same father, my mother is from Italy. Adam Moon met her after his wife, Aiden's mom, died." She looked back and I followed her gaze. She looked straight at Aiden. It was something in her eyes I couldn't explain, and she couldn't hide it.

"You know," I started, and she looked back at me, "I just returned and remembered some things, and something is still hidden, but… I think Aiden is the best man and brother and…"

"You're right. He's the best, but I can't say that about our father. He left us; I mean my mother and me, when I was five. Adam betrayed us for his Pack…" I finally figured out the sadness in her eyes.

"You don't blame Aiden for that, do you?" I worried.

"No." She smiled and wiped up her tears, "He found us five years ago and cared about me and my mother, and when she died gave me money to come to his city. He did everything for me to be happy. He's like my brother and father at the same time…"

Suddenly, she pressed her head to my chest and sobbed. I hugged her and tried to comfort her. She doesn't deserve such a life she had, but I'm glad Aiden found her and changed her life for the better.

"You know I don't like tears, do you?" I heard his voice near us and turned my head in his direction. He put his arms aside, like asking to go and hug him." Come here…" he said and added, "Both of you"

I let her go, and she hugged him tightly, wiping up her tears. Aiden hugged her with one hand and another one was still stretched in my direction.

"Both of you," he repeated.

"I'm okay." I smiled, but he looked at me seriously, narrowing his eyes, so I gave up, went to him, and hugged both of them. Aiden hugged us and kissed both of our heads. He didn't say anything, just hugged us tightly, and pressed us to his body. Even without words, I understood his love and how precious I am to him, and I'm sure Chipa felt the same.

"Thank you," Chipa straightened up and smiled, "It was a moment of weakness. Let's go to the party!"

I giggled and kissed his cheek. Chipa went back to her girls, and I put my head up to see his eyes. He was looking at me with a slight smile and love in his eyes.

"I'm so happy you changed our lives… I mean her and mine…" He took my chin with his one hand, and the second one put to my waist.

"I'm not like my father. Family is as important to me as my Pack. That was your father's words. I still remember them after such a long time…"

I put my head on his chest and closed my eyes. Aiden was reminding me of my father, and that was one more detail of why I loved him so much.

"They are so good-looking together, so I don't even want to interrupt them…" someone said, standing not so far away from us, but I was too lazy to take my head up and look who said that.

"They're mates, after all." Someone else agreed with the first one, so my curiosity won over me, and I put my head up and looked behind Aiden's back to see two boys talking. I never saw those boys before. I looked at Aiden.

"Who are they?" He put his head down and looked at me.

"If I'm not mistaken, they are from Mark's Pack. We saw how many girls are there, and called some more boys to have more fun…" Aiden smiled, then put his hand on my head, and pressed it to his heart, "I wonder why you always make my heart beat so fast…"

I giggled and closed my eyes, listening to his heartbeat. I heard noises behind my back as if someone giggled or said "aw''. So, I smiled and shrugged, then put my head up and looked into his eyes.

"Because it's love…isn't it?"

He looked down at me and nodded.

"It is."

I put my head back on his chest and closed my eyes. It was my safe place and for now, I don't want to leave it.

After a few minutes of standing and cuddling, we finally let go of each other and smiled.

"I need to go back to the boys' camp, wanna join me?" Aiden stroked my chin with his fingers.

"I think the fish soup is ready, so we can join our camps and eat a bit. Then, we'll see." I smiled and crossed his fingers with mine. He kissed my fingers one by one, making my heart beat faster, and my cheeks redden. Then, he let go of me and went straight to the boys, gathering far away from us, near one of the tents. I turned back to the girls and cleared my throat.

"Kiri, how's the fish soup?"
