Chapter 39: Big City Adventures

Mercifully, Olivia and Oliver mostly slept in the car. When Oliver was awake, he was draw quietly. When Olivia was awake, she would hum to herself and kick her legs back and forth. Logan was quiet too, letting Serena sit alone with her thoughts. At the beginning of the ride, he had asked several questions about the human world, but eventually, even he had run out of questions to ask. She hadn’t minded answering. Not that she was an expert in the human world by any means. She’d spent some time among them, but she hadn’t fully integrated herself into the human culture or society.

She answered what questions she could, but the truth was, she only knew how to pass as human. She didn’t know all about humans and their world.

“We’re almost there,” Logan said, pulling her from her thoughts. “Thanks,” Serena said, smiling at him. He nodded. She looked in the back seat, seeing both the twins completely passed out. Serena, dipping into her knowledge banks, had gotten them a two-bedroom suite at a hotel where they could sleep. They were getting into the city pretty late, and Serena wasn’t going to be seeing her professor until the next day. When they got to the hotel, she carried Olivia and Logan got Oliver. The day of driving had been long, and neither of them had much to say anymore. They got the kids tucked into the bed they’d be sharing with Serena, and then Logan went back down to get the car to get their bags. Are you hungry?” Logan asked when he returned. “I can whip something up in the kitchenette.”

“Oh no,” Serena said, wagging her finger back and forth. “I’m going to show you a great perk of the human world.” Logan smirked. “Alright, that sounds interesting,” he said. Serena pulled her phone out and dialed a number to takeout restaurant she was familiar with. She placed a quick order for dinner, including something for the kids if they woke up. “Now, we just wait for the next twenty minutes, and then food will show up at the. door,” she said. Logan smirked. “That sounds…incredibly convenient,” he said. She nodded.

“Convenience is a major staple in the human world,” she said, taking a seat on the couch. Logan put his travel bag in the room he’d be staying in, and joined Serena in the suite living room. “Is it strange, being back?” he asked. “It was strange coming back to pack life,” she told him. “This…this is still more familiar.”

or passing as them. You don’t have to convince your trading partners that you’re human. As long as they get their goods, they don’t care.” Serena giggled, tucking her legs up on the couch and hugging her knees to her chest. There was a knock

“So pretty!” Olivia said. Oliver smiled. “Very pretty, mommy,” he said. Serena smiled, pulling her hair up in a ponytail. “Good,” she said. “You’re taking Logan to the park today, right?” “Yes,” Olivia and Oliver agreed. She grabbed her twins’ hands and brought them out to where Logan was waiting for them. He was well dressed, probably a little more so than how he should have been to take two kids to the park, but Serena didn’t say anything. “The kids have a park they want to show you while I’m with my professor,” she said. “That sounds like fun,” Logan said. “Okay, ground rules about the human world,” Serena said. “Don’t refer to yourself as an Alpha, don’t growl around other humans, and don’t challenge anyone, even if you think they are challenging you.” “That’s a lot to ask,“ Logan said. Serena raised an eyebrow. “Alright, I’ll behave.” “Good,”

the same supportive community,” she explained. “Some of them do bad things to each other and hurt each other, even to kids.” Logan sighed. “That’s horrible,” he said. Serena nodded. “So, if anyone asks, you’re their uncle,” she said. Logan nodded. “Good call,” he said. “Now, I’ve got to go,” she said. “Olivia, Oliver, be good for Logan.” “We will,” they both said dismissively. Serena collected her binder and headed out of the suite. She remembered where to walk in order to get to the medical school campus. It had been a long time since she’d set foot there, and she was feeling nostalgic. Not much had changed since she left, and she knew exactly where Dr. Lynn’s office was. Walking through the academic corridors, she felt cozy, like she was at home. She knocked on the door and Dr. Lynn invited
