The Moonflower Camp

"The role of the Luna also is lying in the fact that she is the closest advisor to the Alpha, his left and right hand. Alpha and Luna, are supposed to do everything together, and Luna as a female might help the Alpha to make the life of the other females in the Pack better."

I listened to him, nodded, then shrugged.

"Now I know, thanks, darling."

He chuckled, kissed my forehead, and looked at Matt coming in our direction. I arched an eyebrow.

"Wait, who's in the Pack?" I suddenly looked back at Aiden, "I remember you said something about the patrolling?"

"Yeah. The first day, our people from the Pack are patrolling for us all to be here…" he answered and took a sip of beer, then looked at me, "I'll go on the third day."

"Tomorrow is my turn," William said, coming closer to us and taking a bottle of beer from the box standing not far away from us. He easily opened it with his belt as Aiden before, then took a few greedy sips.

"Do you mind if I go and help girls with food?" I asked, turning my head to Aiden.

"No, I don't" he grinned and stroked my cheek. I smiled, put my hands into the leather jacket's pockets, and went in the direction of the food table where girls were doing something.

"Any help needed?" I smiled at Catherine, Bella, and a few other girls. They smiled friendly back and lowered their eyes back to the food.

"They bought so many foods…" Bella complained.

"There are many boys here. It's understandable" I smiled, then put my sleeves up, took tomatoes, cleaned them with the water, and started cutting for a salad.

"Aiden and you are so cute together…" Catherine started with a smile on her face and happiness in her voice, "He is so gentle and protective. We never saw him before like that…"

"I like how he loses his perfect self-control with just one look at me" I giggled, and put all the sliced tomatoes in the big bowl, then took some salad leaves and started cutting them and putting them in the bowl as well.

"That's true," Bella said with a smile, "Letty, do you want some sparkling wine?"

"So many drinks…" I giggled, "But I already drank beer, so…"

"Nothing bad will happen. You're with Aiden!" Catherine put a glass full of pink sparkling wine next to me, "Semi-sweet."

"Smells good", I straightened up and took a glass, "May I drink for… the Love? The love that is so powerful, that it called me here back!"

"For the love!" They said, and took a few sips of sparkling wine. I did the same, but noticed tears in their eyes. My speech made me tear up as well.

I put the glass aside and continued making a salad, added some feta cheese, sliced chicken, and olives, mixed it with olive oil and soy sauce, then took a plate and looked over where to put it. I saw a big table not far away from us with a lot of chairs and benches near it, so I guided myself there and put a plate on the table. Not only that, but I saw some plates with sliced fruits and vegetables, as well as three plates with sandwiches with different fillings and some sushi. I turned back and found William standing next to me.

"Hey," he said, and I straightened up, then looked around, and saw Aiden is far away from us standing near the fire and talking with his friends from other packs. William put his hands in his pockets and smiled at me, however, I saw there was something bothering him.

"Ask," I smiled, "I can see something bothering you. Please, don't torture yourself."

"I just wanted to say that while Aiden will be away, you'll lead everything that is going on here, and if you'll need any help, your so-called brother is happy to help." A bright smile shines on his face, making me smile back.

"Thanks," I quickly hugged him, then let him go, so he went in the direction where Catherine was. I just noticed their clothes are matching with colors, as well as Aiden's and mine. William was dressed in black jeans and a light-red shirt, while Catherine had black leggings and light red knitted tunic that stuck to her body. William came closer to her, put his hand on her butt, and kissed her greedily on the lips. I giggled and went closer to the table as well.

"Where is all the crockery?" I asked Bella, and she looked at me with a smile.

"William is so cute when jealous… Crockery is still in the boxes, there near Aiden's car."

"Why is he jealous?"

"Because of Alpha Mark's Beta, Lucas. They had a conflict," she whispered, then shut her mouth and looked somewhere. I turned my head to see Aiden, Mark, and Victor having their way toward us. We even could hear their conversation.

"So, this is the same mark, we all thought about?" Victor asked, pointing to the left side of Aiden's neck. I immediately blushed.

"Probably" Aiden mysteriously answered, and our eyes met. He grinned, looking at me, while I blushed.

"Aiden, no need to be so mysterious…!" Mark complained, and then looked at me, "Moreover, we all know you are mates…!"

"You know it's mine, always was and will be." I suddenly said, then took Aiden's hand, when he came closer to me, then turned his left wrist up and held his hand in Mark's direction, "As well as this."

They all came closer to see my name on his wrist. I felt Aiden press his body to mine from my back, put his other hand on my jeans pocket, and bit my ear slightly. I felt goosebumps running up and down my body.

"It's so… Cute…" Catherine said and made me look at her. She was amused, but happy, "You have the same…?"

"Not yet…" I replied and blushed because I felt Aiden put my scarf down with his nose and kissed my neck. Catherine looked at him, smiled, and looked back at me.

"You're so cute together… Oops, I already said that. Never mind it…"

All of them smiled and I joined them.

"Love you," Aiden hugged my waist with his left hand, and pressed his head to mine.

"Love you too," I hugged his hand and looked over the surrounding ground, "The food is almost done, but I saw fresh fish. Do you know, boys, how to cook fish soup? It should be super tasty if done on the fire and woods!"

"We can cook it, together," Aiden smiled and straightened up, "We should also fry some kebabs and chickens on the fire. William, Chris, that's your task for today."

"Aiden," I looked at him and smiled friendly, "Can you leave them without orders for today? Let them relax a bit, isn't it a goal of this camp?"

Aiden looked down at me thoroughly and then looked at them.

"She's right. Relax," he kissed my ear, and then took my hand, "Let's go find everything we need for a fish soup."

"We need a big saucepan for it," I said and pointed to the table with food, "While you are looking for it, I will prepare the ingredients we need."

"Fine," he said, and went to his car, where all the boxes with crockery were, while I went to the food table and started preparing and cutting potatoes, then cut carrots, cleaned one onion, and when I finished, Aiden came.

"I already filled a saucepan with water and put it on fire. I'll clean the fish meanwhile," he took the fish and started cleaning it, while I went to the fire and added potatoes and carrots to the saucepan, then returned to Aiden, took salt and pepper, and looked at him. He was so cute, all covered in fish scales, that it made me giggle. I put everything aside, took a towel, and started cleaning his face with fish scales. Aiden straightened up and looked at me, then pouted his lips.

"Damn fish…"

"You're doing great." I kissed his nose and smiled, "Everything is done, we should wait for the water to boil, and potatoes with carrots to be done, then we can add fish, spices, and everything else."

"We can go add onion and drink a little bit," Aiden took a cleaned onion, then went with me closer to the fire, put onion inside the saucepan, and gave me a bottle of beer.

"Oh, I'm afraid tomorrow's day will be too hard for me" I giggled, "Girls gave me sparkling wine."

"Then I will go and bring you sparkling wine," he said, and left me alone near the fire. I looked inside the saucepan and went to the food table, took salt and pepper, returned to the fire, and added salt and pepper to the saucepan, then mixed everything with a big spoon and tried it. It was good, yet not done.

"I thought you haven't seen my message," I heard Aiden's voice and turned my head to see him hugging some girl. I arched an eyebrow, and then noticed the friendly smile she gave Aiden, and then they hugged each other as if they were close relatives. I put the spoon near the fire and went in their direction.

"How could I miss it? All of us waited for this so long, and taking into consideration the current news about our Alpha, we could hardly miss it!" The girl straightened up, let Aiden go, and stepped aside from him, then put her hands into her pockets, "We're not full yet, some of us could not attend due to different reasons…"
