Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 54: A Mother’s Love

Charlotte showed up at the house bright and early the next day. A single phone call the day before, where Serena had expressed wanting to talk to her mom, and the Luna promptly appeared with donuts for the kids! “Morning, morning everyone,” Charlotte sang as she came into the house. “Grammy!” Olivia said. “I’ve got donuts for you,” Charlotte said, setting the box of the warm pastries on the table. Olivia and Oliver each grabbed one out of the box and started eating. “I’ve got coffee,” Serena said, handing her mother a mug. She grabbed a donut for herself before they vanished in the kids’ mouths, and poured herself some coffee too. *Wonderful” Charlotte said, taking a seat at the table. “I was worried about you, dear. That call was…uncharacteristic.” Serena eyed the kids. “We’ll talk after Dana takes them to daycare,” Serena said. Charlotte winked at her daughter and nodded. Olivia and Oliver had their mouths smeared with powdered sugar. Serena wiped them off just as Dana arrived to take them to daycare. “Oh, it looks like you had a special treat for breakfast,” she said. “Want a donut?” Serena asked. “There are plenty.”

Serena sighed again. “It is complicated,” she said. “I didn’t want to talk to anyone until I had answers. I even sent the bloodwork out

told the twins she knew their father, that could cause him to ask questions. It would lead to all the answers she didn’t want to give. So, Serena knew she had to time things perfectly. Whatever she did, she knew it wouldn’t be comfortable for her or for Logan. “Thank you for being here, Mom,” she said. “I’m always here for you, darling,” Charlotte said. “But, whatever you decide, remember that the kids deserve to know where they come from.” “You’re right,” Serena said with a nod. “I’ve kept too much from them their whole lives. They only just found out they were werewolves when we came to Night Sky!” “Then, you shouldn’t
