Chapter 156: Surprise Encouragement
Serena had to work another shift at the hospital the next day. She hadn‘t heard from Logan on what his final decision was about letting her go to complete her degree or not.
She worked as if on autopilot throughout the day, slightly in a daze. She still couldn‘t get over how selfish Logan was being. He clearly wanted her to stay for selfish reasons that had nothing to do with the pack. Whether it was because of the twins of because he wanted her around, his reasons had nothing to do with her status as a doctor in the pack. Other than telling her that she didn‘t need a human approved medical license to be a pack doctor, nothing he had said had anything to do with her career.
It angered her that even after breaking up, he still wanted to get in her way. He knew how important her career was to her, probably more than anyone else! Logan was one of the first people she‘d confided in about it. “Serena,” Logan‘s voice pulled her from her daze. She blinked at the computer screen she‘d been zoning out in front of. “Logan,” she said with a nod. “I thought about it, and I‘d like to talk this over,” he said. “We can use Adriana‘s office,” Serena offered. Logan nodded and he followed her in. Adriana was sitting at her desk eating lunch. “Oh, is something wrong?” Adriana asked. “Do you mind if we have your office for a private chat?” Serena asked. Adriana grinned and winked. Serena rolled her eyes. “Sure, take your time,” she said, sticking her tongue out. Serena sighed as Adriana left. “She clearly has the wrong idea,” Serena said. She turned around and sat on the edge of Adriana‘s desk. “Adriana has quite the imagination,” Logan agreed. “So, what did you want to talk about?” she asked. Logan nodded, rocking back on his heels. “I can‘t let you go,” he said. Serena‘s jaw dropped open and she crossed her arms. “Logan, why?” she asked, “It isn‘t necessary for you to go,” he explained. “Not to practice medicine here. I don‘t want you alone in the human world, vulnerable and away from the pack. I don‘t want the kids out in the human world vulnerable and away from the pack. There is no pack–based reason for you to do this.”
Serena asked. “You know what this
and the kids are too important to me. That‘s the reality of it. You might think I am being selfish, but I‘m thinking about this from a rational point of view, as an Alpha.” “Logan, I need this,” Serena said. “You don‘t,” Logan insisted. “That is what
can‘t pick and choose when and for how long you are part of a pack. That isn‘t how this works. You‘re either here or you aren‘t. I can‘t let you choose the latter, because your kids are my kids, which means they are my heirs.” Serena
your argument,” she said. “Logan, I get it, Serena is an asset and you have strong personal ties so you don‘t want her to leave. I did it, though. Anyone in the pack who gets a career license from the human world does
here,” Adriana pointed out. Serena sighed. Of course, Adriana would be the mediator. “Now, I can‘t tell the two of you what to do, but what I can say is that you both need to come to a compromise,” Adriana explained. “The pack needs you both, and that means you two have to start getting
this one,” Logan admitted. “I know what it means to you, but I also know I
