Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 41: Carson and Serena

Carson wasn’t badly injured after the most recent Moonshine attack, but Serena had patched him up when he’d come into the hospital and supplied him with fluids. Since then, he had stopped by every day to see her while the hospital renovations had been in progress.

Always with an excuse, like checking in for the Alpha, but Serena was starting to suspect there was more to his visits. “I see you go the new hospital beds installed,” Carson said when Serena entered an unoccupied room to restock medical supplies. Starting, she whipped around to see Carson sitting on the new bed, bouncing up and down to test the mattress. Serena sighed and smiled at him.

He wouldn’t need you to come in an check on my progress.” Carson pursed his lips. “Alright, you caught me,” he said jokingly. “I just like the hospital. Something about new medical equipment and the

Carson raised an eyebrow at her. “Um, yes,” he said. “Did you want to bring them to dinner too?” Serena smiled lightly. “No, I was just making sure,” she said with a nod. “Why would that bother me?” Carson asked. Serena shrugged. She scooped her folder up under her arm, seeing the time and realizing she had to get back to her rounds. “I have no idea,” she admitted. “It seems to bother some pack members.” Carson growled under his breath. “Then they aren’t worth your time,” he informed her, crossing his arms over his chest. “Thanks for the pep talk,” she said. “Now, I do need to get back to my rounds.” “Does that mean I’ll be seeing you for dinner?” Carson asked as she headed for the door of the room they were in. Serena smirked, glancing at him over her shoulder. “I thought you weren’t asking permission,” she said. Carson smiled broadly. “Good, my place then, tonight,” he said.

I’m sure we can keep them entertained.” Serena hesitated. She had actually been disappointed when she learned Dana was sick and the kids had no sitter. Another part of her had been relieved though, and she was glad for the excuse not to go. Now, Carson was removing her excuses. He wasn’t going to make it easy for her. She appreciated that as much as it made her uncomfortable. “Alright,” she said slowly. “If you’re sure you’re okay with two rambunctious twins in your house..” she trailed off. Carson laughed. “According to Logan, they are great kids,” he said. Serena rolled her eyes even though Carson couldn’t see her. The Alpha would say that! “They are,” she assured. “Give me a bit to get them ready and make myself presentable. Oh, they’re a little picky about food, so I can just make something.” “That sounds lovely.” Carson said. Serena hung up. She
