Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 64: The Nursery
When Logan got home, the front hallway was filled with half open boxes of baby things. There was an unassembled crib, a cha
nging table, tons of toys, a swing, and a pop–
up playpen. Everything in the hallway was a new addition. None of it had been there when the twins had come over. Holly must
have brought it all home with her!
From upstairs, Logan heard Holly and her
friends moving furniture around, scraping it across the nice hard wood floors of his house! Every time he heard a scrape, he win
ced.
Flying up the stairs, Logan found Holly and her friends in the bedroom Logan had
allowed the twins to stay in. Most of the furniture
in the room had already been shoved out into the hallway. One of Holly‘s friends had paint chips and was pressing colors to the
wall, asking Holly what she thought would look good. “What‘s going on?” Logan asked from the doorway.
All of Holly‘s friends stopped smiling and giggling. “There you are, baby.” Holly said, sashaying across the room. She threw her a
rms around his neck and tried to kiss him. Logan pulled away. “What are you doing?” he said, nodding towards the half
empty room and the furniture in the hall.
Holly released him, putting her hands on her
belly. “Well, it is still early, but this pregnancy won‘t last forever. I wanted to get a head start on the nursery,” she said, beaming at
Logan.
Logan glared at her friends. “Can we have a minute?” he asked them. They looked to Holly for permission. “Go on,” she said.
“I want you guys to pick out the color scheme and find a good mural to paint on the wall.” “Will do,” they gushed, heading out and
going down to the living room. Logan looked at the furniture that was in the hallway. The beds the twins had used so recently. So
mething in him really hated seeing the furniture he associated with them being cast aside. “Where are you going to put all this st
uff?” he asked, motioning to those beds. It didn‘t escape him that Holly had chosen the twins‘ room to become the nursery.

The room Serena had stayed in was closer to theirs, but Holly had clearly wanted to make a statement about kids with Logan. “T
here‘s plenty of room in the attic, you can drag them up there later,” Holly
said dismissively “Holly, it is months until the baby arrives,” Logan argued, “Why do we need to do alla.

this now?” “I‘m just trying to be prepared,” Holly said, pouting. Logan kept thinking back to Serena telling him that she thought Ho
lly was hiding something. He didn‘t think that was possible, not with how proactive Holly was being about getting things ready for
the baby. “Is everything alright with the baby?” he asked. Holly smiled and laughed. “Why wouldn‘t it be?” she asked with a shrug
, going back to folding baby clothes into a new dresser she‘d bought for the baby.
“The hospital called me today,” Logan said. Holly stopped folding and glared at
the wall in front of her. “That meddling little tramp!” she snapped. “She just couldn‘t mind her own business!”
“Holly, if it is about the baby, it is our business. I have every right to know,” Logan pointed out. Holly sneered.
“This is my body!” She said, turning to Logan with tears in her eyes. “I know what
is going on in my body. I don‘t need you or anyone else telling me what to do about my own body!” Logan sighed. He‘d known sh
e was going to take things so personally. “I believe you do,” he said calmly. Frustration wouldn‘t help in this situation, and it was a
lready turning into a fight. He hadn‘t even started the conversation yet! “I want you and the baby to be healthy, though.” Saying th
e words, he knew they were true. Even though he wasn‘t ready to be a parent, he still wanted Holly and the baby
to be okay. Holly shook her head. “Everything is fine,” she assured. “Trust me.” He nodded. “Okay, but, Holly, you‘re tearing the w
hole house apart,” he said. “Can‘t you wait until we can get someone to help?” “I thought you were going to help,” she said, smili
ng at him suggestively. Logan shook his head.
“I have way too much to
do for the pack these days,” he said. “Setting up a nursery isn‘t a priority of mine right now.” That was the wrong thing to say! Holl
y put her hands on her hips and glared at Logan. “This is our baby!” she
snapped. “You have to make us a priority! The pack can wait!” Logan‘s anger and frustration flared again! Holly never understood
his position as Alpha! “I‘m Alpha!” he shouted back. “My greatest obligation and responsibility is to this

Dack!”
Chapter 64 The Nursery “No, your greatest obligation is to your family, to me and our

baby!” Holly put her hands on her stomach again. “How can you stand there and say there are more important things?”
“That is the burden of being Alpha,” Logan reminded her. “No matter what I want for myself, what else I have in my life, the pack
comes first!” Holly rolled her eyes. “Why am I even having a baby with you?” she asked. “Why are you?” Logan countered. Holly‘
s jaw dropped open. “I can‘t believe you

just asked that!” she hissed, throwing a pair of balled up baby socks at him. “Dol have to dignify that with a response?” “Maybe,”
Logan said with a shrug. “You told me you were on
birth control, we‘ve never talked about kids or starting a family. You‘ve never seemed interest in it...” he trailed
off.
Holly‘s eyes blazed. She was
furious, sputtering for words for a moment. “I love you, Logan,” she spat. “When I found out I was pregnant, I didn‘t think much be
Logan sighed, shaking his head. “It has been a bad day,” he
said. “Get this room put back together and put the nursery stuff into storage.” “No!” Holly snapped. “Logan, this is our baby, and I‘m
part of it.” “What does that mean?” Holly asked as
Logan turned away. “Logan!” she cried to him. He was already walking down the stairs, not willing to argue with her further. Glarin
wolf. The freeness of fur in the night air was a huge relief after his stressful, tense day. With a howl, Logan took off, running freely
out into the open fields, and into the smaller brush of the crop fields. The scents of the night were intoxicating, chasing away thou

his pace to a walk, sniffing the air. There were other wolves nearby. He swerved in a different direction, preferring to remain solo
That was the last thing Logan wanted to do on a night like this! The faster and
farther he ran, the further away his troubles became, that was what was important to him. Picking up his pace, he ran in the oppos
on the ground, Logan rolled in the grass, the blades scratching his back and fur. His tongue hung out
of his mouth as he panted and yipped with pleasure, like a lovesick
puppy! A scent in the air caught Logan‘s attention. He stopped rolling around, falling onto his side. He stayed low in the grass, not
any potential threats to his presence. Something didn‘t smell right! Logan growled in the back of his throat. Righting himself, Loga
