When did survival become more important than family? A memory surfaces. Callum and I, maybe eight years old, playing in the garden behind the townhouse. We'd been fighting about something stupid, the way kids do. I don't even remember what started it. But I remember Father pulling us aside. "You two need to understand something," Father said, crouching down to our level. "You're twins. That bond is sacred. Unbreakable. When I'm gone, you'll only have each other. Pack politics, power struggles, territory disputes, none of that matters as much as the bond between brothers. Promise me you'll always protect each other. No matter what."

Yvette said, raising her brows. "Family isn’t just about marriage, Miss Martinez. You could find it not just in men. Or in women. You could find it through your friends, or the people that are... dear to you. It’s the warmth, the comfort, and the compassion they had given you that gave you shelter... that made you find some pieces of yourself. And when you lose them, it’s like you lose half of yourself, or you just become indifferent. That’s the effect of a family." Yvette was so mindblown that she could barely talk.

But Hubert convinced that Finn was seething with jealousy, only smirked wider. "Finn, don't say I didn't warn you-family is what truly matters." "What's the use of all that money? In the end, aren't you still all alone, with no one who genuinely cares about you?" Hubert deliberately emphasized his words. "A pile of cold, lifeless cash can never compare to the warmth of a family dinner, Finn. But how pitiful-you will always be the child our parents never loved." "No matter how outstanding you become, no one will ever care."

"True!" "The more important someone is to you, the more likely you are to save the person or side the person. Like, if someone important to you have a major issue with me and facts are presented and it seems you can't get who is wrong. It is easier to side the person because he or she is important to you. This is just an example. That is why people believe in the bond of family." "Yes," the woman agreed. "To always side the person irrespective of the situation is the meaning of family. And it is human nature."

“Come on. I’ll drive you back. I don’t want someone mistaking you for your mom.” Naresh followed after him, still refusing to give up control. I didn’t mind. He was overprotective of the people he considered family. His family pool was much smaller than who I considered family. Týr and Dad weren’t included in his family tree. My sisters were his sisters, my mom was his, Grandpa was his. Some of my friends he also would consider friends but we were still two very different souls. We valued different things in the people we held close.

“You and your cousins share a really good bond too. They respect you a lot as the eldest and they’re very respectful of me even though we’ve only met a few times before.” Zachary smiled. “Since we were young, our parents taught us to be respectful to each other and that having a harmonious family would lead to success in any undertaking. They said that no matter how powerful a person is, they need the support and help of friends and family to survive in this world. " Nothing of significance was ever achieved by an individual acting alone.

“What could be more important than my work? Mom, I am a doctor! My job is important!” I told her politely. “Yes, I know but there are so many more important things too!” I faced her fully and asked. “Like what?” She frowned and took her seat. “Like your family!” Oh! I didn’t think of that because for me, family is different from work! Those two things can’t be compared. Besides, I am already focusing on my family too. Not just my family but the whole pack. I have the best interests of my pack at heart. “Mom! My family has my full focus! I am not neglecting my family because of my job. I am not applying to work somewhere else right now.”

A hand comes over mine, settling calmly and easing the painful knots in my chest. "You're important and everyone he keeps around him is considered family. He just sucks at that emotional cringy stuff" What do I say? I sulk with my face aflame and head bobbing in place of a coherent nod. Family, huh? Are friends family as well? I do love Angie, Elaine, Zara... everyone whose taken care of me and formed a bond with me. Angie's family, the people at the coffee shop, Hadrien, aunt Sue...mom, and dad.

"Yes..." "Sebastian, listen to me. You may think this is just a cliché, but believe me, I've known your parents and even your grandparents for many years. Long before you were born, I knew them as if they were my own family. So, the Lim and Lim families are not just business partners; they are old friends who trust each other. You do have parents who are stern, a tough mother, and a hardworking father. Sometimes they prioritize everything over everything else, and this priority scale is often applied within the family or in raising their children. But believe me, their love is always foremost. They love you and Christopher the same way." "Is that so?"
