Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Reassessments

Logan breathed the night air in deeply. He wanted to talk to Serena about being mates. Santino had made a lot of sense to him, but he didn’t want to want to make a big deal out of it. He’d already told Serena that he was staying with Holly to raise his child with her

He looked inside the house again and Serena and the twins were gone. She was probably putting them to bed. She hadn’t asked if he wanted to say ‘goodnight! It was probably too soon to allow him to get too comfortable in a fatherly position with them.

The living room sliding door opened and Alpha Thomas stuck his head out. “We made up the guest room for you,” he said. “Tomorrow we should leave early, but it is too late to drive back tonight.” “Thank you,” Logan said with a nod. “Charlotte and I are heading to bed,” he added. “Help yourself to anything in the kitchen.” Logan nodded. “Great,” he said. Thomas retreated back inside. Logan followed into the living room. He took a look around the kitchen, getting himself a glass of water. He thought he should eat something, but he really couldn’t tell whether or not he was hungry! Too much had happened that day. “Oh, I didn’t know you were still down here,” Serena’s voice said from behind him. Logan turned and smiled at her. “We don’t have to run in separate directions every time we see each other,” he said. “No, we don’t,” she agreed. “I thought…” Logan trailed off. Serena raised an eyebrow at him. “Thought what?” she asked. “I thought you would have let me say goodnight to them,” he said. Serena sighed, crossing her arms. “Logan, you can be as involved as you want, but I’m not going to ask you to be involved,” she said. “If you see me getting ready to put them to bed, speak up. I can’t come to you and ask your permission every time I do something with them.” Logan sighed. Serena had a point. When they were back at Night Sky, he’d be in his own house and it wasn’t like she could call him every night to ask if he wanted to help tuck the twins in. “Fair enough,” he said. “Can we talk about the other thing?” he asked. Serena walked past and went to the refrigerator. She poured herself a glass of lemonade and offered some to Logan too. He nodded in thanks.

Chapter 95: Reassessments

“What other thing?” she asked, glancing at him over the rim of her glass. Logan smiled at her. “The part about us being mates,” he said. Serena shrugged. “I don’t know what to say about that,” she admitted. “You’ve already said you are going to stay with Holly.” “I know,” Logan said with a nod. He finished his lemonade and leaned back against the counter. He kept his posture open, trying not to appear hostile or mad. Serena was not avoiding him or acting like he would pounce on her at any minute, and he wanted to make sure she would feel comfortable around him. “Did you have anything you wanted to say about it?” she asked conversationally. Logan shrugged. “It just seems like there should be a conversation about it,” he said. “I imagine it will continue to affect us.” “Do you think the reason we fight and keep doing extreme things for each other is because of that?” she asked. “It could be,” Logan said. “Santino says it is passion and we shouldn’t ignore it.” Serena snorted. “Yea, of course, he did,” she said, shaking her head and laughing. “Are you going to tell Holly?” “I probably should,” he said, chewing the inside of his cheek. “Otherwise, she might thing something else is going on, like us having an affair.” Serena snorted. “She certainly knows how to get jealous,” she said. “Do you think it would be any better for her to know the truth?” Logan sighed. He’d been wondering that too. Logan knew Holly could get jealous. He also knew that Holly thought she was his mate. It would be devastating for her to learn that they weren’t.

“It would be better for her to know,” he said. “I mean…maybe not until after the baby is born. When things are less volatile.” “Yea,” Serena said, putting her empty lemonade glass in the sink. “Logan, I don’t know what your feelings are for Holly, and I don’t know what my brother filled your head with, but us being mates doesn’t mean we have to be together or can’t be with anyone else.” “I know that,” he said. “I know many couples that aren’t with their mate.” “But it might be worth clearing the air a little,” she added. Logan nodded. “I think so,” he agreed. “I mean, I don’t want you to think that I am going to get passionately angry at you any time my temper bubbles over.” He smirked, to make his statement more humorous. Serena nodded. “I’ll believe that when it happens,” she said with a smile. At least she was joking

Chapter 95: Reassessments around with him again. “There is definitely something between us,” Logan admitted finally. He hadn’t wanted to really think about what Santino said, about reassessing his feelings for Holly and Serena. He was trying not to think about it. He wanted to know what Serena was thinking.

“That’s a given,” she said. “That’s part of the bond. It is up to us what we want to do with it.”

“What do you want to do with it?” Logan asked. Serena chewed at her lower lip, tapping her foot on the floor. “Be friends?” she asked. Logan smiled. “We could be friends,” he said. “It would make co- parenting a lot easier.” Serena eyed him suspiciously. “Co-parenting,” she muttered. “Is that what we are doing?” “I’d like to think it is,” Logan said. Serena shrugged. “You have to admit to being a parent before you can be a co-parent,” she pointed out. Her words weren’t harsh or argumentative. “Perhaps,” Logan said with a chuckle. They lapsed into easy silence for a moment. The rest of the house was almost completely dark. Everyone was asleep. It was quiet around them, not just between them. Serena was no longer tapping her foot either. She was looking at him, though. Logan let her eyes wander over him. He liked the way it warmed his skin. It was like the bond between them had all his senses heightened when he was around her. “Serena, I’d like to be friends,” Logan said. “I think it would be easier on the twins, and we are bonded by the mate bond, but those aren’t the only reasons.” “No?” she asked, arching an eyebrow at him. “No,” he said. “I think you’re an interesting person and I’d like to know more of you. Even if it is only ever as friends. I don’t know if I can stay away from you anymore, knowing what I know now.” “Yea, I know what you mean,” she said with a nod and a humorless smile. “I never wanted to stay away from you, not really. I just wanted us to be…cordial.” Logan

chuckled.

“Cordial?” he asked. He sighed, shaking his head. Logan wasn’t sure that was what he wanted when he said he wanted to be friends. Serena was so much more than a friend, or she should be. She was

his mate! “I’ve got to get to sleep,” Serena said. “Long drive tomorrow morning.” “Yea, I’ll head up soon,” Logan said. Serena nodded and left Logan alone in the kitchen. He watched her go.

Alone, he had no choice but to think about his feelings for Serena and Holly. Ever since Serena had come to Night Sky, things with Holly had seemed tense. He’d told himself it was because Holly was being jealous, told himself it was because he had bonded with the kids and it was a new kind of relationship for him, but now he had to face the fact that it could have been because of Serena’s very presence.

He’d always been interested in her, for reasons he hadn’t understood until the truth finally came out. Now he wasn’t sure if he could look at Holly as a life partner or a mother of his child. He had no problem seeing Serena that way, though.

Sighing to himself, Logan turned out the lights in the kitchen and found his way to the guest bedroom. He heard Olivia and Oliver whispering to each other in the room beside his.

Quietly, Logan peaked into their room, keeping himself in the shadows enough so that they wouldn’t see him. They were giggling quietly and making funny hand symbols at each other.

It brought a smile to Logan’s face. Those were his kids! He didn’t want any other children. Logan knew that now, and he felt even more confused about the situation he was in with Holly. Everything he had to tell her was going to be a difficult conversation. He hoped she was in a good mood!Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
