Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 134: Missing

Logan and Santino pulled up in front of Serena’s house. Dana was there and so was Flo. Logan ran inside, wrapping Serena in a big hug. She broke down immediately, collapsing against him and sobbing. “What do we know?” Logan asked his mother while he comforted Serena. He hadn’t seen her so vulnerable before, and he wasn’t about to let her go. Her hands were clenched into fists around his shirt, and he already felt the damp pools of her tears soaking through the fabric. “The twins were playing in the backyard,” Dana said. “I came in to make them a snack and when I went back out they were gone.” “Why didn’t you call me sooner?” Logan asked Serena who was still sobbing into his chest. “I thought they might have gone to see you or your mother, like they did before,” she said in a choked voice before sniffling. “She called me first,” Flo said. “I checked the daycare to see if they snuck off to go to the playground,” Dana offered. “We’ve all looked around at where they might have gone, but Logan, they aren’t anywhere,” Flo said. “They knew not to leave the yard. Could they have been taken?” Serena asked. Logan rubbed her back soothingly. Holding her against him, calming her grief, helped him keep a lid on his own anger and fear. “Who would have taken them?” Santino asked. “The rogues?” Flo asked. “No,” Logan said shaking his head. “We had them all under control, and they were too far to double back. Besides, they wouldn’t know that the twins are my kids. They wouldn’t target just random kids.” “They’re not in the village,” Dana said. “I put out a lot of calls, and no one has seen them.” “My heart can’t take this!” Serena muttered “Come with me,” Logan said. “Dana, can you put on some chamomile tea?” Dana nodded and went to the kitchen. Logan kept his arms around Serena, half pulling her up the stairs to her bedroom. He let go of her with one arm and pulled the covers back. He helped Serena into the bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. She sighed, laying back on her pillows. Logan got her a tissue from the table beside her bed. He leaned in and kissed her forehead.

“I know it is hard,” he said. “But try and relax. We are going to put together a pack search and rescue, and we will find them. They can’t have gotten far with their little legs. They can’t even shift yet.”

“Logan, we have to find them. It is getting so cold at night, we have to bring them home before then,” Serena said, a fresh wave of tears leaking out of her eyes. Logan took her hands in his.

then kissed her forehead again. “Do you think you can relax a little?” he asked. “It isn’t going to help the kids if you can’t think clearly.” “How are you being so calm?” she asked him, looking up at him with watery eyes. Logan gave her a humorless half smile. “When my family needs me, I am the solid, steady rock,” he

Serena, handing her the mug. She pulled herself up into a sitting position and drank the tea. She wrinkled her nose. “It tastes funny,” she said. “It is chamomile,” Logan told her. “It will

send them to the village center.” “Logan, what’s wrong?” Carson asked. Logan snarled. Now that he wasn’t holding Serena up, his own fear was manifesting as anger. “The twins are missing, we need to organize a territory wide search and rescue, immediately,” Logan said. “I want the entire pack involved. Everyone drops what they are doing. This is the only priority.” “I’m on it,” Carson said. He hung up. “Wow, you are all business, man,” Santino said. “My children are missing,” Logan snapped. “All we know is that they aren’t in the village. That means they are somewhere out in the territory alone. Temperatures drop fast at night these days. Finding them is the only thing that

calming breath and went around the back of the house. The scent of the twins was really strong in the back. They were so strong, though, he couldn’t determine what direction they had left the yard in. There were so many trails in the yard and around the yard that he couldn’t make sense of any one of them. Frustrated, Logan groaned and looked around at the tracks to see if there was any sign in the grass what direction they had gone. Again, he found too many overlapping trails and tracks to make sense of it. The twins probably hadn’t intentionally covered their tracks, but it would make finding them more
