Chapter 4: Alpha Logan
Paralyzed, Serena couldn‘t speak. Logan was smiling at her, waiting for her to do something. She
shifted her weight from one leg to the other. “Can I help you with that box?” Logan asked, reaching out
to take it from her. Instinctively, Serena pulled away, and Logan took a half step back. She sighed,
finally snapping out of her daze. “Yes, thank you,” she said. Logan stepped forward again and took the
box from her. Serena hastened up the front porch and checked inside to make sure the kids were still
upstairs. She could hear them giggling in one of their rooms, probably making a mess of something.
Better that than have them wander down. She didn‘t know if Logan was the man she‘d slept with,
though she was almost positive. He didn‘t seem to recognize her though, and that was a small mercy.
Unfortunately, if she recognized his scent, he might recognize her. She didn‘t know how drunk her was
that night or how inhibited his senses had been.

Even if he didn‘t let on, that didn‘t mean he didn‘t recognize her. She didn‘t want him to see the kids
yet, just in case. She wasn‘t ready to exin!
Logan followed her up the steps, and Serena turned to take the box from him again. She set it inside
and shut the door quickly. “Thank you, Logan,” she said.
“You seem to have everything under control with settling in,” hemented, eyeing the closed door
oddly. Serena smiled. “Being a medical school student means I didn‘t have much to bring along with
me,” she admitted, smiling despite herself. She couldn‘t help the way she felt in his presence, her mind
feeling tingly suddenly around him.
Serena knew she wasn‘t thinking straight! She was still panicking slightly at running into the man she‘d
slept with so soon after arriving at Night Sky, but there was something else that was almost putting her
at ease around him.
“That‘s right,” Logan said with a nod. “Adriana said you‘d been living in the human world. What was that
like?” Serena considered his question carefully. Logan had crossed his arms and was leaning casually
against her front door frame. Serena faced him, trying to keep her eyes on his rather than trying to
imagine what his body looked like without clothes. She wasn‘t fantasizing about him, but she seemed
to remember him naked more than she did his physical features. “AS Alpha, I am qualified to show
interest,” he said, grinning at her. Serena cleared her throat. “Oh, I didn‘t realize you were the Alpha,”
she said, dropping her head slightly in respect. Logan scoffed: “Yes, I‘m easily confused with the
sunshine weingmittee,” he told her sarcastically. Serenaughed, quickly covering her mouth
to stifle the sound. She didn‘t want the kids toe downstairs and hear her talking to someone else.
They would get too curious. “Life in the human world was…well, I was away from the pack and my
family,” she said. She hadn‘t paused much to think about it in the past five years. “I was always busy
with sses and my…my studies. I guess it was a little lonely.” “You missed being part of a pack?” he
asked, raising an inquisitive eyebrow. Serena nodded. “I did,” she admitted. “There is a lot to do and
see in the human world, so I nevercked for entertainment, or even human friends I met in my
sses. It…wasn‘t the same though.” “I imagine that to be true,” Logan said with a nod. “Have you ever
been away from your pack?” she asked. Logan sighed, looking thoughtful. “I was away for my studies
now and then,” he said. “I was never gone as long as you though. Adriana said this was a big change
for you, I did pry a little into your history.” He winked at her. Serena‘s breath caught in her throat. He
was flirting with her! Or was he? She didn‘t think she could trust her own thoughts in her interactions
with him. “As Alpha, it is understandable that you‘d need to check on anyoneing into your pack,”
she said, rubbing her hands on her thighs nervously. It was a convenient excuse, one she hoped he
corroborated. “That is true,” he said. “Though I had some interest in why you were away from the pack
so long.” Serena smiled mirthlessly, casting her green eyes to the porch. “I had a lot of things to work
through,” she said as ambiguously as possible. “It was better for me to be on my own for a while.”
Logan nodded; Serena caught the gesture from the corner of her eyes. She looked up at his face
again. He wasn‘t looking at her anymore. “Doesing back mean that you worked through what you
needed to?” Logan asked, his question seemed like an attempt to keep the conversation going. Serena
wondered what it is he was trying to get from her. Did he want an admission that she recognized him?
He hadn‘t made any indication that he recognized her! Serena didn‘t want to be the first to break the
silence. “Um…for the most part,” Serena said, creasing her brow. “Either way, it is good to be back.” “It
is good to have you here,” Logan said. They shared another friendly smile. “Do you have any
objections to getting a tour of the rest of the territory?” “Right now?” Serena asked, eyes darting to the
door again. She‘d have toe up with an excuse to not leave her children alone without telling Logan
about them. Logan chuckled. “I‘m sure you have more unpacking to do,” he said, waving his suggestion
away. “I cane by tomorrow morning and we can go then. There is a lot in the vige I‘d like to
show you.” “That would be nice,” Serena said with a nod. “Thank you, Alpha.” “Great, I will see you
then,” Logan said, standing straight. Serena turned to head back to her car. She needed to shut the
trunk and lock it up. Just as she turned, Logan stepped forward. Their bodies collided, and Serena
stepped back so quickly she nearly tripped over her own feet. Logan grabbed her arm, preventing her
frompletely losing her bnce and falling. “I‘m sorry,” she hastened to apologize as she stood on
her feet again and pulled her arm from his grip. “No, that was my fault,” Logan said, holding his hands
up in mock surrender. “I‘ll see you tomorrow.” Serena nodded. She didn‘t move and neither. did Logan.
He stared at her for a moment, and she looked anywhere but at him. Finally, Logan left her front porch.
Serena sighed with relief. She waited until he was out of sight before she went to her car, closing up
the trunk and locking the doors. Quickly, she went back inside to make sure the twins weren‘t getting
into too much trouble. Thankfully, she found them in the room Olivia had imed, attempting to
rearrange furniture. Serena smiled at them, bringing the bags into Olivia‘s room that had her toys and
clothes. “Careful with the furniture,” she admonished. “Olivia, why don‘t you unpack your clothes and
toys. Oliver, your bags are in your room, you should go unpack too.” “Okay, okay.” Oliver consented,
skipping out of Olivia‘s room. “I want this over there,” Olivia insisted, pointing at the children‘s bookshelf
and the wall she wanted it against. Serena nodded, picking the shelf up with ease and cing it where
directed.
“Let‘s get unpacked before trying to rearrange anything else?” she asked. Olivia nodded and went to
her suitcases. Serena headed downstairs onest time to get her own bags and bring them to the
corner bedroom that was officially hers. Her skin was buzzing with heat and anxiety, all at the same
time. Seeing Logan, smelling him, being in contact with him for such a short moment…it was all too
much! She was certain now that Logan was the man she‘d hooked up with. It was too mind–boggling.
Not only had she run into him within hours of arriving at her new home, but he was Alpha! She couldn‘t
remember if Logan had been Alpha of Night Sky when they had met at the party, but she didn‘t think
so. He‘d been far too young then, even now he seemed young to have the title.
Serena started to unpack her clothes, folding them into the dresser in her room. The house was
spacious and roomy. In no time at all, she knew it would feel like home. The twins finally had enough
space to stretch their legs and run around. Serena hoped therger house would mean they‘d be able
to get more of their energy out. She smiled to herself at the thought, happy with the circumstances,
even if Logan‘s presence and authority was certain to causeplications. Serena didn‘t want to think
about that. She just wanted the chance to enjoy her new home with her children.
