Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 108: The Celebration

The field hospital was taken down, and all the patients were out of critical care. Serena had looked after the ones in the worse condition herself until they were ready to be moved to general recovery. Santino had kept her filled in on what he was working out with Logan and their father in regards to the Moonshine territory and pack members. It seemed like they were making good progress with arrangements.

Serena didn’t think that completely justified the war, but from what she gathered from a lot of her Moonshine patients, most of them were happy to be free of Damon and have a way to start fresh. While she was checking inventory, Santino strolled into the hospital whistling. “Ugh, what are you doing here?” Serena asked, rolling her eyes. She smiled to show she was teasing. Santino grinned at her. “Oh, just coming by to let you know that the tedious Alpha meetings have finally concluded,” he said with a big sigh of relief. He leaned on the nurse’s station, winking at his sister. “I’m glad to hear it,” she said. “I guess that means you, dad, and Logan have figured everything out that needs to be figured out?” “We have,” Santino said. “You know, dad didn’t pick up on it, but there were a few passages in that restoration plan that had a certain cadence I recognized.” Serena glared at her brother. She sighed and shrugged. “Alpha Logan asked me for my opinion on a few topics,” she said dismissively. “Oh, does that mean the two of you have been spending more time together?” Santino asked suggestively. Serena grimaced. “Please,” she scoffed. “There are more important things going on than whatever is between me and Logan.”

“Not anymore,” Santino said. “The war is over and the packs are moving towards stability.”

“Does that mean you and dad will be heading back to Starseeker soon?” she asked. She liked having her father and brother around. She knew they couldn’t stay forever, though Suddenly, Serena missed her kids! They’d been staying with Charlotte during the conflict. She knew they were safe and had video called with them every day, but now that she wasn’t rushing around constantly in a war hospital, she really felt how much she missed them! “I don’t know.” Santino said. “Logan is planning some big celebration tonight, a unification kind of celebration or something.”

Santino had told her to put on a dress, but she didn’t know how formal the celebration would really be. Logan had had one of the event tents set up on the outskirts of town. Already there was music playing and Serena could hear people talking, glasses clinking together. It was a real party! She went in,

She should be supporting the great move of the pack, not looking down on Logan for his actions. When she looked over to find Santino again, she caught him sneaking out of the event tent with the female he’d been flirting with. “At least someone is having fun,” Serena muttered. Logan chuckled. “You could be too,” he reminded her. Serena finished her wine. She set the empty glass down and crossed her arms. She wouldn’t drink anymore. Not only did she want to remain lucid at the party, so she wouldn’t say anything she’d regret, but also because she might still be needed at the hospital. “I wanted
