Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Choices

Logan hadn‘t heard anymore from Serena about leaving the pack, so he assumed the matter had been put to rest. That was until she showed up in his office so they could have another private chat. Serena marched in. She shut and locked the door, turning hard eyes on Logan. The Alpha droppe d his pen and leaned back in his chair. He linked his fingers together and cupped them around the back of his head. “This isn’t going to be good,” he muttered. Serena rolled her eyes. “Logan, you can‘t stop me from going,” she said. Logan scoffed. “I‘ll tell you why.” Logan arched an eyebrow at her. “By all me ans, go ahead,” he said. He held a hand out to her, inviting her to continue. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“If you don‘t let me go, I will come to resent you. Whether we remain professional, or give our relationship a try again if you keep me here, that will just become resentment, and we will never be happy with each othe r,” she explained. Logan sighed.

“I know,” he said. He didn‘t like it, but he couldn‘t deny the truth. “I‘ve been thinking about it a lot, and th ere are a few options,” she said. Logan raised an eyebrow at her. “Like?” he asked. Serena smiled. Log an could tell she was happy that he wasn‘t just shutting her down. “I could apply at a hospital that is clo se to the pack rather than going into a big city,” she said. “You could come with me. I‘ll be working busy hours so it would give you more time with the kids, but you would also be close to the pack.” “Serena, I can‘t leave the pack like that, you know that,” Logan said. Serena sighed and looked down at the floor. “Think about it, please,” she said. “It would mean a lot to me, getting to do this, and having you there. It would mean a lot to the kids too.” “I‘ll think about it,” Logan assured. Serena nodded and smiled. “Thank you,” she said. Logan nodded. “I‘ll get back to y ou soon,” he offered. Serena nodded and left. Logan picked up his pen again to get back to work, but he d ropped it almost instantly.

The idea of leaving the pack with Serena had never crossed his mind. She had presented a reasonable solution, but he didn‘t think he could just walk away from the pack so easily. Carson, some see me in my office, Logan said, reaching out through the mental link. Logan stood up and started pacing while h e waited for his Beta. When Carson arrived,

he raised an eyebrow at the pacing Alpha. “You‘re in a mood,” Carson stated, taking a seat. Logan scof fed and let his head fall back on his shoulders. “Yeah, to say the least,” he said. “Well, what‘s going on? ” Carson asked. He held his hands out to Logan. The Alpha sighed. He resumed his pacing. “How woul d you feel about being the primary leadership of the pack for a while?” Logan asked. Carson‘s jaw drop ped open. “Uhh…that is a huge responsibility,” Carson said. “Why, where is this coming from?”

“Serena wants to finish her medical license in the human world. It is important to her,” he explained. “S he has asked me to accompany her to a hospital near the pack so I can have time with the kids and hel p her out while she works. It will still be close to the pack, but I will be temporarily offsite.” Carson shoo k his head. He sighed and stroked his chin. “I don‘t know, Logan,” Carson said. “Are you sure you want to do this?” “No,” Logan said shaking his head. “I can‘t…” he trailed off and sat down at his desk with a frustrated growl. “Logan, I know you want to make things right with Serena, but this is a major sacrifice. The pack needs you, and your Alpha. They come first,” he pointed out “I know, I know,” Logan said. “Just tell me, will you do it?” Carson sighed heavily. “Yeah,” he said. “I mean, of course, I will.” Logan nodded. “Thank you,” Logan said. “I will keep you posted on new develo pments. You could probably get Santino to help out too. He‘s eager to try his hand as Alpha.” “I‘m sure he will be helpful,” Carson said with a nod. At the end of his day, Logan headed home. He still wasn‘t sure what he wanted to do. He knew t hat Serena was going with or without him, and based on her resentment speech, he couldn‘t very well get in her way. He knew he didn‘t want to be without the kids that long, and Serena had said it would m ean a lot to her to have him there. He wanted to do right by her. He felt that if he left

that pack, even temporarily, he‘d be failing them. Logan entered his house and went straight to the kitchen, finding a beer for himself, “Ugh, you are stressed,” Flo said, catching Logan‘s attention. He raised an eyebrow at his mother. “That‘s what everyone keeps saying,” he admitted. Flo smiled. “It must be true, then,” she teased. “What‘s going on?” “I‘m considering leaving the pack temporarily.” Log an said. Flo smiled.

“Why?” she asked. Logan groaned and sat heavily at the kitchen table. “Serena and the kids,” he said. Flo nodded. “Yes, I heard about her medical license;” Flo admitted. “Honey, she asked you to go with her. That is a good sign that she wants to ma ke things work, that she wants you involved. You shouldn‘t discredit that so easily.” “I‘m not,” Logan ass ured. “I want to go with her, but I don‘t want to fail the pack.” Flo shook her head, placing her hand on L ogan‘s shoulder. “You wouldn‘t be failing the pack,” Flo said. “You have Carson to handle things.” “And Santino,” Logan added. “And me” Flo added. “We can handle it all.” “Serena said she would look for so mewhere close by,” Logan added. *”Then it is settled,” Flo said. “You can‘t pass up this opportunity, Log an. This is about

your family.” “The pack is supposed to come first, though, always,” he said. “That‘s true, and it isn‘t like you are abandoning the pack. You‘ve made plans so that it is in good hands, and you‘re not going to be far,” she said. “You made the plans for the good of the pack. Now you have to make plans for the good of your family.” Logan smiled and tilted his head back so he could look up at his mother. “Thanks,” he said. She had put everything in perspective, and he knew that he could do it now. Flo left him alone, and Logan took out his cell to call Serena. When she answered, he could hear the ki ds screaming in the background and she sounded flustered. “What is going on?” Logan asked. “The twi ns aren‘t happy about leaving the pack, or you,” Serena said. Logan chuckled into the phone. “They do n‘t have to worry about that,” Logan assured. “I‘ve made arrangements for the pack, and I can go with y ou to the human world.” Serena let out a long sigh. “Logan, you have no idea… thank you so much,” she said. Logan smiled, even though she couldn‘t see it. “Look, I know how import ant this is to you,” he said. “I know how

important the twins are to both of us. I want to do whatever I can.” “And the pack?” Serena asked. “I kn ow they are important to you too.” “Of course,” Logan said. “But I‘ve made arrangements, and it is temporary.” “Thank you,” Serena said. “You know my mother is going to want to throw a going away party,” Logan said with a chuckle. Serena laughed into the phone too.

“It will be a good send off,” she said. “I could use your help convincing the twins this is not going to be fo

“I’ll talk to them,” Logan promised. They said their goodbyes.

Logan sighed and hung up the phone. He was a little nervous himself about living in the human world for an ex he would have failed the pack. He‘d have to get over that, and not let Serena see it. He didn‘t want to ruin this for her. She had given him the choice, she had offered him a way to help, and she had rational solution. He had to make the best of this, for her.
