Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 48: A Night on the Town

Dana and the twins met up with Serena and Logan at the restaurant that Serena had made reservations at. “Did you have fun with Dana?” Serena asked her kids. “We went to the park, and we showed her the duck pond,” Olivia said. “That sounds like a lot of fun,” she said. “Did you see the ducks?”

“No ducks today,” Oliver said. “But there was a big bird that looked like a pterodactyl!” He spread his arms out and zoomed around on the sidewalk. Serena laughed. Even Logan laughed! “Alright, let’s get inside and eat,” Serena said, holding the door open for all of them. They had a table for five. The hostess brought booster seats for the kids. “This is really nice,” Logan muttered to Serena. “Spare no expense,” she said, winking. He smirked. “Oh my, there are so many options,” Dana said, looking over the menu. Serena had almost forgotten this was her first time in the human world! “Don’t worry, you’ll read a lot of things you don’t like” she said. Dana chuckled. “Mommy, I want to macaroni,” Olivia demanded. “I want chicken fingers,” Oliver added. “Alright, that is what you will have,” she promised. When they waitress returned, they all placed their orders Serena ordered for the kids. “Can you bring some crayons for the kids?” she asked. The hostess nodded and left with their orders. She returned a few minutes later with a cup of crayons for each of the twins. Oliver happily began to draw on the paper placemat, but Olivia dumper her crayons out to roll them around. Serena rolled eyes. “Full-service restaurant,” Logan said. “It is standard practice in the human world,” Serena explained. “Kids need constant entertainment.” She smiled, seeing the darkness in Logan’s eyes. Maybe his mood had been about Holly’s pregnancy announcement. “So, I’ve seen,” he muttered.

“Did you take care of the business deal?” Dana asked conversationally. Serena nodded.

“Business deals are easy.” Logan said. “I’m an Alpha, and that means I can challenge anyone to get what I want.” Serena sighed.

“He was very impressive,” she admitted.

we should cut back on the Alpha and human chatter,” she said. “We aren’t alone here.” “I’m drawing the bird we saw today,” Oliver said. “How did you fare today, Dana?” Serena asked. “There was so much to see. It was a little overwhelming,” she admitted. “The kids gave me something to focus on.” Serena smiled, thinking that meant that the kids had had her chasing around after them. Their food was served and both Dana and Logan wère impressed with the elaborate

either of them would appreciate a pet store, especially where puppies were kept in cages. “We can show them the downtown, though and get some ice cream.” “Okay,” Olivia said, happy with the alternative. When they were finished eating, Serena cleaned the kids off in the bathroom. They always made a mess when they ate!

stores around here are so interesting,” Dana said, motioning to a lingerie store. Serena giggled. “There are a lot if interesting retail outlets in the human world,”

ordered herself a Root Beer Float. There was a bench outside the ice cream shop. The twins and Dana sat down on the bench and Logan and Serena stood in front of them. “This is a great dessert idea,” Logan said. “What did you get?” “A Root Beer float,” Serena said. “That sounds interesting. Can I try it?” he asked. Serena raised an eyebrow. “Sure, sure,” she said. She used the spoon to pull up a scoop of the vanilla ice cream soaked in root beer. She intended to transfer the scoop to his spoon, but Logan took the ice cream right off the spoon with his mouth. “Hey!” she said, pulling the spoon back quickly. “That’s a little too personal.” Logan smirked. “It was good, though,” he said. “I’ll be sure to get one of those next time.” Serena rolled her eyes. “Yes, when you have your own spoon to eat off of,” she said. “Mommy, I’m tired,” Olivia groaned. “My hands are sticky too.” “I’ve got just the fix for that.” Serena said, handing Dana her float. She pulled the wipes out of her pocket and cleaned the twins’ hands and fingers. They were much happier when they weren’t sticky anymore. “We should get
