Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 156: Surprise Encouragement
Serena had to work another shift at the hospital the next day. She hadn‘t heard from Logan on what his final decision was about l
etting her go to complete her degree or not.
She worked as if on autopilot throughout the day, slightly in a daze. She still couldn‘t get over how selfish Logan was being. He cl
early wanted her to stay for selfish reasons that had nothing to do with the pack. Whether it was because of the twins of because
he wanted her around, his reasons had nothing to do with her status as a doctor in the pack. Other than telling her that she didn‘
t need a human approved medical license to be a pack doctor, nothing he had said had anything to do with her career.
It angered her
that even after breaking up, he still wanted to get in her way. He knew how important her career was to her, probably more than
anyone else! Logan was one of the first people she‘d confided in about it. “Serena,” Logan‘s voice pulled her from her daze. She
blinked at the computer screen she‘d been zoning out in front of. “Logan,” she said with a nod. “I thought about it, and I‘d like to t
alk this over,” he said. “We can use Adriana‘s office,” Serena offered. Logan nodded and he followed her in. Adriana was sitting a
t her desk eating lunch. “Oh, is something wrong?” Adriana asked. “Do you mind if we have your office for a private chat?” Seren
a asked. Adriana grinned and winked. Serena rolled her eyes. “Sure, take your time,” she said, sticking her tongue out. Serena si
ghed as Adriana left. “She clearly has the wrong idea,” Serena said. She turned around and sat on the edge of Adriana‘s desk. “
Adriana has quite the imagination,” Logan agreed. “So, what did you want to talk about?” she asked. Logan nodded, rocking bac
k on his heels. “I can‘t let you go,” he said. Serena‘s jaw dropped open and she crossed her arms. “Logan, why?” she asked, “It i
sn‘t necessary for you to go,” he explained. “Not to practice medicine here. I don‘t want you alone in the human world, vulnerable
and away from the pack. I don‘t want the kids out in the human world vulnerable and away from the pack. There is no pack–
based reason for you to do this.”
“And what about personal reasons?” Serena asked. “You know what this means to me!”
“I do,” Logan agreed with a nod. “You‘re too important to the pack and the kids are too important to me. That‘s the reality of it. Yo
u might
think I am being selfish, but I‘m thinking about this from a rational point of view, as an Alpha.” “Logan, I need this,” Serena said. “
You don‘t,” Logan insisted. “That is what you aren‘t understanding!” “No, you‘re not understanding!” Serena snapped. She threw
her arms up into the air. “This isn‘t about the pack or whether I can or can‘t practice medicine here. It is about me! It is about reac
hing my own life goals. That is the reason I left my pack in the first place.”

“But you came back!” Logan snarled. “You can‘t pick and choose when and for how long you are part of a pack. That isn‘t how thi
s works. You‘re either here or you aren‘t. I can‘t let you choose the latter, because your kids are my kids, which means they are
my heirs.” Serena shook her head. Anger boiled through her blood and through her skin. She stood up straight and walked away
from Logan, her shoulders completely tense and rigid.
“Logan, you have to let me go and do this!” she cried. The office door opened and Adriana came back
in. “Okay, I‘m stepping in now because the whole hospital is hearing your argument,” she said. “Logan, I get it, Serena is an asse
t and you have strong personal ties so you don‘t want her to leave. I did it, though. Anyone in the pack who gets a career license
from the human world does it. She is in no more danger than the rest of us.”
Logan scoffed and shook his head.
Serena smiled gratefully at Adriana. “Thank you,” she said. “You see, Logan, the twins and I will be perfectly safe and fine out the
re. It isn‘t like we haven‘t been in the human world on our own.” “That may be, but Serena, you‘re being a little insensitive to Log
an‘s concerns. He is Alpha and the twins are his children and heirs. He has every right to be concerned and every right to keep y
ou here,” Adriana pointed out. Serena sighed. Of course, Adriana would be the mediator. “Now, I can‘t tell the two of you what
to do, but what I can say is that you both need to come to a compromise,” Adriana explained. “The pack needs you both, and tha
t means you two have to start getting along.” Adriana left them alone again. Serena and Logan exchanged a few more quick look
s, looking away from each other just as quickly. “She‘s right,” Logan said softly. “Yeah, she is,” Serena said.

“There has to be something,” Serena said. “Please, Logan.” She gave him an imploring look and Logan‘s eyes softened. “I‘ll think

possessive of you and the kids. Even if the two of you aren‘t together anymore, as the mother of his children, he
feels possessive.” “That is an Alpha trait I don‘t enjoy,” Serena admitted. Thomas chuckled
into the phone again. “Give him time, it will mellow out,” he said. Serena laughed lightly. It irritated her that Logan was so possess

said with a nod. “Thanks, Dad.” They said their goodbyes, and she hung up. She hadn‘t expected to get that kind of support from
encouraging her to go for what
she wanted, but it was also surprising. Serena knew she still couldn‘t act without Logan‘s permission, but
she had enough support from other sources now, she felt like she had a good leg to stand on.
