Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Going in Circles

“You should have told me,” Logan said again. Serena inched away from him as much as she could in the enclosed space. He was fuming, nostrils flaring, breathing heavily Serena regretted bringing him up into the treehouse. She couldn’t escape if he lost it on her, which he was dangerously close to do. “We are going in circles here, Logan,” she said. “I didn’t tell you because you had other priorities and I have to think of my kids first!” Growling, Logan grabbed the windowsill in the tree house. He shook the wood. It was fragile and aged, unused and unkept. The entire tree house trembled, and Serena grabbed the nearest branch in an attempt to keep herself steady. “Stop it, Logan!” she snapped. “You’ll bring the whole tree house down.” “Do you really think I care about this place anymore?” he asked, rounding on her with fury in his eyes. “This place means nothing, the time we spent here means nothing!” Serena gasped. “Is that really how you feel?” she asked, creasing her brow. Logan growled and kicked the treehouse wall, his foot going right through the wood and leaving a hole. “Do you care how I feel?” he countered. “You haven’t done anything with any regard for my feelings. Why start now?” “Logan!” Serena snapped. “I’ve already explained to you. This whole thing has been confusing enough for me as it is. Do you think I could risk the twins being just as confused as me, if not more so?” “I’m your Alpha” Logan said. Serena rolled her eyes. She had wondered when he was going to play that card. “You have a duty and a responsibility to me as leader of the pack.” “Maybe that’s true, but I also have a duty and responsibility to my kids,” she said, crossing her arms. Logan scoffed. “Now, you sound like Holly,” he said. “What did you just say to me!?” Serena snapped. She took a step forward, ready to lash out at Logan, but he met her head no with a glare and sharp eyes. “I said you sound like Holly,” Logan repeated. “All she does is go on and on about how I spend too much time worrying about the pack and not enough about her and our baby.” Serena chuckled mirthlessly and shook her head. “That is not the same,” Serena said. “I didn’t tell you because I knew what your obligations were and I knew it would tear you in too many different directions.” Logan snorted.

He sighed, looking away from Serena.

“Then, should I be thanking you?” he asked. Serena scoffed.

“You shouldn’t be punishing me!” she said. “Weren’t you the one punishing me?” Logan asked back. “You were mad that I was never around to help you or support you or raise the twins, so you had to pretend that they were better off without a father!” “Oh, Logan, now you are just being petty!” Serena hissed. Logan looked taken aback, like she’d slapped him. “Don’t project your issues with Holly onto me and the past you didn’t even know we had.”

You went through it all, you had all the knowledge for weeks. I’m only just finding this out. What am I supposed to do with any of this?” “I don’t know, Logan,” Serena said. She sighed. The two of them fell into a tense, awkward silence. Logan kept gently kicking his foot against the damaged all and Serena kept looking down at the forest below them.
