Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 74: Going Home
“You‘re really leaving us?” Adriana asked,
stopping by to see Serena before her shift ended. Serena smiled. “You got my time off request?” she asked. Adriana nodded. “I
did,” she said. “I‘ve got to admit, I‘m not all that surprised.” “I‘m sorry it was short notice. Why isn‘t it a surprise?” Serena asked, f
alling into step beside Adriana as they headed to the locker room. It was the end of the day, time to shower, change and go hom
e. “Your work with Logan was top notch, but I imagine it was pretty stressful too,” she said. “I can see why it would be important f
or you to step away, visit your family, spend some quality time with your kids.” “Yes, I think it is needed,” Serena said, smiling at h
er friend. “Honestly, it is more than that. There has been
some drama with Holly and Logan, especially with Holly being pregnant and Logan having a relationship with my kids.” “Oh, I thi
nk everyone who visited Logan‘s room during recovery is aware of that,” Adriana said with a chuckle. “Anyone that was on the flo
or during his stay is aware of that.” Serena‘s cheeks reddened in frustrated embarrassment. It just furthered her need to get awa
y for a little while. “What about you and Carson, the two of you were spending some time together,” Adriana said. “That didn‘t go
south already, did it?” Serena chuckled and shook her head. She opened her locker to get a fresh change of clothes. Adriana‘s lo
cker was directly behind hers, so they stood back–to–
back. “Carson and I were just spending some time together,” Serena said. “It wasn‘t anything serious or romantic. Though, Loga
n took it very personally. Another reason 1 need to step away. I don‘t know why he feels so possessive over me...” she trailed off.
If her suspicions about Logan being her mate were true, then she knew exactly why he was behaving that way. Even if he hadn‘t
put the pieces together yet, he might know it on a subconscious level, a biological level that he wasn‘t fully aware of. “I don‘t env
y being stuck between Logan and his baby mama, or the Alpha and the Beta,” Adriana said with a sigh. “Hence my need
to take a step back,” Serena said. “I completely understand. Don‘t worry about the paperwork, I‘ll take care of it,” she assured. “
Thank you.” Serena said, stripping her clothes off and wrapping herself in a towel. “Just, don‘t stay away too long, and please
call me and update me on anything and everything” Adriana said.

en she was done, Adriana was still in the shower. She
called a quick goodbye to her friend and boss before collecting her things and heading out. On her way to her car, she called Da

na. “Are you home yet?” she asked. *Just getting there,” Dana said. “The
twins had a long day and are exhausted.” “Good,” Serena said. If they went to bed early, she could pack for them and they could .

all leave early in
the morning. “I‘ll get started on dinner when I get there,” Dana said. “That is much appreciated,” Serena replied. “The kids and I a
re going to be taking a little vacation starting tomorrow.” “Do you need me to come along?” Dana asked, a note of concern in her
voice. “Not this time,”
Serena said. “We are going to visit my parents and brother. I will have more help than I know what to do with.” “Great” Dana said
with a sigh of relief. “I don‘t think the daycare would be able to cover for me.”
“I understand, it is last minute, but the timing just seemed right. I will see
you shortly. I‘m on my way home too,” she said. “See you soon,” Dana said. Serena hung up and got in her car. When she got ho
me, the kids were already eating. Dana made up a plate for Serena,
and she sat down with the kids. They looked tired, but they were always able to muster energy for their mom. “So, what did you d
o today?” Serena asked. “I played hopscotch,” Olivia said. “I drew a huge scotch board!” “That sounds exciting,” Serena said. “Di
d your
friends play too?” “Yes, but I beat them all,” she said with a satisfied nod. “How about you, Oliver, what did you do today?” Seren
a asked, turning to her son.
“I drew,” he said. “And I played on the slide.” Serena looked at Dana. From the sounds of it, Oliver still wasn‘t making lots of
friends or feeling like he fit in very well. When they were done eating, Serena sent the kids upstairs to play until
she was done with dinner.
“Is Oliver doing okay at daycare?” she asked. “He is fine,” Dana said. “He plays with the other kids when he wants to, but you kn
ow him, he likes to be on his own.” “I know. I just wonder if I should be worried,” she said.

“Not at all,” Dana said as
she started cleaning up dinner. “He is the quiet artistic type, but that doesn‘t mean he doesn‘t have friends or doesn‘t have fun.”
Serena nodded, relieved to hear it.
She got the twins in the bathtub while Dana finished cleaning up and started packing their things. “Remember how we talked abo
ut going to see Grandma and Grandpa?” Serena asked them. “Are

we going?” Olivia asked excitedly. Serena nodded. “Yes, we are going to leave tomorrow,” she said. “Before you go to bed, I wan
t you to grab any
toys, games, books, or art supplies you want to bring with us.” Olivia stood up in the tub, dripping with soap and water. She tried t
o get out, but Serena stopped her. “After your bath,” she said, encouraging
Olivia to sit back down again. Olivia glared at her mother, but she complied. “Will Uncle Santino be there?” Oliver asked. “Of cour
se,” Serena said. “He will want to see the two of you, and he‘ll have lots of games to play.” “Good, he is a lot of fun,” Olivia
said with a nod.
Serena finished their baths and sent them off to collect the things they wanted to bring with
them. She hadn‘t given Adriana a firm return date, so she knew the kids would need plenty to keep them
occupied. Not that her mother and father would let the kids get bored. They would provide all the entertainment, toys, and games
needed.
When the kids were packed, Serena went to their rooms to tuck them in. Olivia and Oliver were so tired, they didn‘t even ask to b
e read too. Serena tucked them in and kissed them goodnight, grabbing
their suitcases and bringing them downstairs. She packed her own bags and set them by the door too. Dana was enjoying a cup
of tea in the living room. “I‘m sorry for the short notice,” Serena
said. “Please, don‘t worry about it,” Dana said, pulling a knitting project from her purse. “I‘ve got plenty to keep myself busy.” “Go
od,” Serena said. She sat on the couch beside Dana. “I heard you had a rough few days at the hospital,” Dana
said, giving Serena the space to talk
about it. “Having the Alpha mortally wounded and his life literally being in my hands alone...that was stressful” she admitted. “He
pulled through, though, and I know I did everything I could for him.”

“Is that why you are taking time off?” Dana asked. Serena sighed. “I‘m due for a break,” she said. “My parents want to see the k
and I‘ve hardly spent any time at home since I returned from the human world.” “It sounds like the timing is right, then.” Dana said
Serena headed to bed shortly after. She knew she wouldn‘t start feeling relief until there was enough physical distance between h
turning while she was trying to sleep, thoughts running through her head. Carson‘s questioning had really bothered her. She didn‘

want anyone else in the pack to become suspicious of things with her and Logan.
Holly had suspicions. Serena could chalk those up to jealousy, but if Carson was noticing something too...
she shook her head and rolled over again. She had just wanted to return to pack life, have a normal job, raise her kids around frie
in a particularly volatile situation, between Moonshine, Holly, their
baby. His outburst at her had shown just how stressed he was becoming. She didn‘t want to burden him with more. It was just ano
