Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 25: Werewolves

Out in the yard, the kids were dragging Logan around and showing him all the things that they had to play with. A lot of it was stuff Serena’s mom had sent. She enjoyed seeing how excited they were, and she also liked seeing Logan playing with them. Everything that had happened at the barbeque had bothered her, but now she could see her kids having fun. She did appreciate Logan’s attempt to apologize, but his reference to her reminding him of someone had shut her down quickly. She didn’t want him being reminded of her! “We saw a pack of wolves running through the streets this morning.” Olivia told Logan. “It was so cool!” “Wolves, really?” Logan asked, looking up at Serena. “The kids have never seen wolves before,” she said. “It is something new to them.” She hoped Logan understood her implication. “Is that so?” he asked. “Well, maybe they need a lesson about wolves.” “Yea, mommy, please?” Olivia asked.

“I want to know about the wolves,” Oliver agreed. Serena sighed, thinking it over. She had hidden the truth from them because she didn’t want them to say the wrong thing to the wrong person in the human world.

“Alright, let’s talk about wolves,” Serena said. “Logan, why don’t you show them?” she asked. She didn’t want to shift herself, because she didn’t want Logan to smell her in her wolf form. “Why don’t you?” he asked. “Someone has to explain things to them,” she said. “Fine, fine,” Logan said. He disappeared behind the nearest tree.

She glanced over at her kids. They’d shed their clothing and were running around on their hands and knees, barking and howling. “I’m glad that they will be able to know who they are now and be part of a pack growing up,” she told the Alpha. “For the longest time, I thought that they would be better off in the human world. But now, seeing them as part of the pack, seeing them curious about wolves, I know they belong here.” “You do too,” Logan said. Serena smile. She liked what he said sometimes. Olivia pounced on Oliver and growled, tackling him to the ground. Serena shook here head. Naked five–year-olds in their own backyard wasn’t a problem, and as long as they didn’t hurt each other, she didn’t care that they were acting like wolves. “Thank you for showing them,” she said. “I hope that wasn’t in any way weird. “Not at all,” Logan said. “They’ll need to know more about where they come from and who they are. Also, what they will become.” He looked over at them and Serena followed his gave. Olivia was biting Oliver’s neck. “Werewolves, honey,” Serena said. “Not vampires.” Logan chuckled as the kids went back to tackling each other in the grass. She watched them play together, remember how she and her brother used to play. She had run wild with Santino a lot, and he had always been her best friend and playmate. She missed having him around regularly, but she did like seeing her own kids acting just like she and
