[Bonus chapter]

[A sweat night we shared]

🌠 🎀 ~𝐿𝑒𝓉𝓉𝓎~ 🎀 🌠

It was hard to fall asleep after such a day full of new things and feelings for both Aiden and me. We went to sleep right after the end of the "Truth or Dare" game, so it was about midnight, and still lying in our sleeping bags for about half an hour, we weren't sleeping. Usually, after such a day I can sleep like a baby but...

"I gave up," he sat straight and zipped off his sleeping bag, then looked at me, "Let's go catch up on fresh air?"

"I might need your jacket?" I zipped off the sleeping bag and sat straight. He nodded, stood up, and held his hand.

I stood up and put his jacket on me. Aiden zipped off the tent and a flow of fresh cold air blew into my face. I took a deep breath so all my lungs filled up with fresh air, then I breathed it out. Aiden took my hand and we went somewhere in the direction of the fire, which was still slightly burning. I hugged Aiden's arm and he pressed me to himself, hugging my waist.

We sat on the log and he hugged me tightly, then put his head on my shoulders.

"We should share some more of such nights..." His words made me look at him with wonder.

"Sleepless you mean?" He laughed at my words and I joined him.

"No, I meant we should share more of such nights..." He put his head up, looked at me, and leaned closer to my face. I leaned forward to him and touched his lips. He pressed me tightly to himself and kissed me gently back. I felt my cheeks burning red and my heart beating fast up in my ears. I felt his fast heartbeat as well.

I burst my hands into his soft blond hair and started stroking it with my fingers. He mumbled something on my lips, then deepen the kiss and his agile tongue started wandering in my mouth. I felt my cheeks burn up and I started playing with his tongue, trying to catch it. Aiden slipped with hands down to my waist and clenched his hand in a fist and I felt how my sweater together with his jacket was put up. A cold night wind started playing on my bare waist and I flinched. Aiden broke our kiss immediately and put my sweater and his jacket down, then hugged me tightly and put his nose at my neck, putting down my scarf. I hugged him tightly, put my hands on his back, and pressed him tightly to myself.

"I will never let you run away from me anymore." He whispered at my neck then kissed the mating mark he recently put there.

"I will never run away from you on my own will!" I promised and buried my nose in his neck. He flinched and hugged me tightly.

"Never say never," he laughed.

"Hey!" I straightened up and he took his head up to meet my furious look, then he burst in laugh again and pressed me to his chest.

"I wonder, how did you remember this city? I don't think you were on that road before, maybe only when your step-mom took you to Dallas..." He wondered, stroking my hair.

"I don't think I remembered it. It was probably a repetitive prophetic dream?" I looked into his magnetic eyes. In the moonlight, they were even more astonishing than ever before. I felt I'm drowning.

"Could be. Your father had a foresight gift, so you could have prophetic dreams sometimes..." He nodded, then took my chin in his hands, "Though, I'm very happy you came back here. You know..." he suddenly burst into a laugh, "I was afraid of confessing that, anyway. I was planning to go to Dallas to steal one pretty girl and bring her here..."

I noticed the pink blush on his tanned cheeks. I smiled.

"Aw..." I kissed his pink cheeks and smiled "I hope, that pretty girl whom you were going to steal, was me..."

"Who else?" He grinned. I stroked his cheeks, feeling those warm and sweet feelings for him burning deep in my heart and soul. I knew he felt the same. I felt the love that every cell of his body radiated toward me.

"Never felt any desire to find someone else? The one, who's always near?" I giggled.

"For example?" He arched an eyebrow, looking straight into my eyes.

"For example, one of the fangirls? All of them are pretty beautiful" I looked around to see if there was no one except us. And it was no one except us here, only snoring was heard from the side of boys' tents. I looked back at Aiden. He was still frowning.

"They are pretty beautiful, you are right. But I am in love with you since childhood and I never dreamt of someone else. Even, when you were away... I was dreaming only about you, and I still am..." He put his head back at my neck and breathed out," I even forgot I wanted to smoke... "

"You're smoking?" I wondered.

Aiden suddenly stood up, took a pack of cigarettes away from his pocket, took one out of it, put a fire on its top from the lighter, and inhaled smoke.

"Rarely, but I do. Do you mind?" He put the pack back into his pocket and sat again next to me.

"No, if it has a good smell..." I smiled and leaned closer to him. He hugged my waist and inhaled smoke, then exhaled in my direction. My perfect werewolf sense of smell caught a cherry in the air, probably from the smoke of his cigarette. "Cherry? Smells good..."

"My favorite ones," he hugged me tightly and looked back at me, "Though, I think you might have a different gift your father had or might be even two of them... That's possible as well."

"Two gifts sounds a bit... Unreal?"

"Do you think werewolves are real for all humans?" He smiled, then exhaled smoke in my direction. I closed my eyes to enjoy it and put my head on his shoulder.

"They think werewolves exist only in legends?" He nodded at my question, then giggled, inhaling smoke.

"Once I spoke to one of them. It was funny to hear him telling me, how we behave based on his opinion, and that we don't like to live in packs like wolves do and..." He laughed "He even said, we look like monsters on two legs with big claws like crocodiles have... It made me almost choke..." He couldn't stop laughing, and I laughed too. It reminds me of those scary pictures I saw in the Internet while looking for werewolves.

"Where have you been talking to them? Are they somewhere near us?" I asked, looking in front of myself to the place where the fire was still slightly burning.

"No. They are far away from this place. Near us are only other packs..." Aiden threw his cigarette to the slightly burning fire, then took my chin with his fingers and put it up, so our eyes met, "They can't find this city. If you don't have a wolf, you can't find this place. Wolf leads you here or to any other werewolf city. And even, if your wolf is sleeping, guards on the block posts near the city have the intention to wake them up..."

"Yes, those moon badges..." I suddenly remembered. Aiden smirked, then lightly kissed my lips.

"You are very smart, you know, " he smiled, then raised his head and looked at the moon, "Want to go back to sleep?"

"You know," I put my head back on his shoulder, "It's so good with you, here..."

"I know because it's good with you here as well..." He hugged me, then kissed my head and turned his face back to the moon. I closed my eyes to enjoy the moment we share and remember it for the rest of my life.

It was silence around us, the cold night wind was slightly blowing, the moon was shining and the air around us was filled with love and peace. It made me fall asleep till the morning, and when I opened my eyes, it was a foggy morning around us. Aiden was still sleeping on the log, when I stood up and put my jacket on him, to warm him up a bit. Aiden snored and went back to sleep when I turned around to see I'm still alone. No one was still awake, so I made my way to the lake near the camp, where Chris was taking water for Lucas when he was jumping through the fire. When I reached it, I sat on the grass on the river bank, then took water into my hands, and washed my face. I did it a few times, then stood up, turned around, and went back to the camp. I wiped up my face with a towel, changed my clothes in the tent, and when I was about to go out, Aiden came inside and zipped up the tent.

"Morning, Princess. Why haven't you waked me up?" He yawned, then threw his jacket to the floor and hugged me.

"You slept so sweetly, I didn't want to wake you up," I smiled, then kissed his plump red lips, "Good morning, honey..."

"Mhm... Morning, sweetheart," he hugged me tightly and put his sleepy head on my shoulder. I giggled, hugged him, and took all my werewolf strength to put him down on the sleeping back, warmed him up with a few blankets, and went out of the tent. I looked around to see girls waking up and coming slowly out of their tents.

I waved my hand to them, and they waved me back. Girls smiled at me and went in my direction.

"Morning, Letty!" they smiled and made me smile back.

"Morning, fangirls" I giggled, while they pouted their lips, "Only joking..."

"We saw you two at night! You're so sweet together, we didn't even want to wake you up!" Chipa smiled at me and opened her eyes a bit as if waiting for my answer.

"What were you doing near the fire so late?" Asked a tall girl, playing with her blond curl and looking with her deep blue eyes at me. She was just like me, but with blond hair as if we were twins. I feel attracted to her as if I know her forever. Before answering, I lowered my eyes down at her: she was thin and beautiful, dressed in dark grey jeans, a light blue sweater with grey flowers on it, and a black leather jacket with black sneakers. I don't remember her name but her silver chain with a pendant in a form of the letter "M" drew her name in my head in a second.

"Matsione, right? Can I call you Matsy?" I smiled at her, feeling that name would be special for both of us...

"Yes, you can," she blushed, and her deep blue eyes filled up with some warm friendly feelings I felt in my heart as well. Why am I so attracted to her? Maybe, it's my destiny to have her as a friend! If yes, I'm happy.

"Nice to have you on my side," I smiled, then zipped up my jacket because it's a bit cold here "We couldn't fall asleep, so we went to catch up some fresh air..."

"And ended up sleeping..." Amy giggled and other girls joined her. I smiled.

"At least we weren't naked...!"
