Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 61


    Chapter 61: Confronting Carson


    Logan was still riled up after leaving the hospital. Not only was he mad at Serena for being mad at him,


    and also being rational about it, but he was mad that she’d kicked him out! Looking for more to argue


    about, Logan went in search of Carson. He was in no mood to let the matter drop. Rationally, he knew


    it was not the best time to confront his Beta, but he was still seeing red, and he wanted to talk it all out!


    Carons was in his office, in the same building at Logan’s, down the hall. Logan didn’t even knock


    before letting himself into Carson’s office. His Beta looked up, raising an eyebrow in response to


    Logan’s obviously foul mood. “What’s going on?” Carson asked standing up. “Was there another


    attack?” Logan shook his head, waving off his Beta’s concerns. “This is a more personal matter,” he


    stated firmly. Carson sighed, sitting back down. “Okay, what’s going on?” he asked. Carson smirked.


    “Holly getting under your skin again?” Logan scoffed, crossing his arms. “Not at all,” he assured. “This


    is about Serena.” “Serena?” Carson asked. “Do you and Serena have something going on the side?”


    Logan growled! He hated that Carson would question his honor and fidelity over admitting that he and


    Serena were dating. “No!” he hissed through clenched teeth. “This is about you and Serena!” Carson


    pursed his lips, letting Logan’s usations hang heavily in the silence. The Beta sighed, and leaned


    back in his desk chair. “Is there a problem with me and Serena?” Carson asked. Logan growled. “You


    should have told me!” he snapped. Carson shrugged. “There is nothing to tell,” he admitted. “I’ve spent


    some time with her, but that’s it. Since when do I owe you an exnation of what I do in my personal


    life?” “That’s not the point,” Logan said, throwing his arms out to the side. If he was being honest with


    himself, he didn’t even really know what he was angry about anymore. He wasn’t thinking rationally,


    though. Both Carson and Serena had told him they weren’t involved romantically, but he couldn’t let


    that go! He had no idea what was agitating him so much about the prospect of the two of them being


    together or getting together. It crawled under his skin like insects, threatening to make him ill! “What is


    the point, then?” Carson asked, folding his hands on his stomach. “Thest time I checked, you don’t


    have any kind of im on Serena. She is a free female and she can have whoever she wants as a


    friend, or a romantic interest.”


    “Is that what you want?” Logan asked, pouncing on Carson’s use of the term ‘romantic interest.’ “I


    really don’t see how this is your business, Logan,” Carson said. “Neither of us are mated or in a


    rtionship. You are my friend and Alpha, so I hope you’d trust me to tell you if anything life changing


    was going on.” Logan rolled his eyes and shook his head.


    “You didn’t answer my question,” he pointed out. He huffed, getting angrier all over again. “I think she is


    a great female,” Carson said. “I think she is a spectacr mother, great at her job, and the kids are


    wonderful. Who wouldn’t consider her a prospective romantic interest?” Logan grimaced at Carson’s


    question. It was fair. Serena was very desirable and from a strong bloodline. That wasn’t what was


    bothering him though! “Why wouldn’t you tell me you were interested in her? Why wouldn’t you tell me


    that you were pursuing her?” he asked gruffly. Again, Carson shrugged. “It didn’t seem like it was your


    business,” Carson said again. “There was nothing to talk about. We‘ve hung out a few times, and it isn’t


    like we are dating or anything.” “But why hide it at all?” Logan asked with a scoffed. Carson snorted.


    “We weren’t hiding it,” he said, his voice rising in volume. “What, am I supposed to call you every time I


    have dinner with a pretty female? Am I supposed to give you an update when I spend a day with a


    friend and her kids?” Logan snarled. Carson was being sarcastic, and he didn’t like it! “That’s not what


    I’m saying!” he snapped.


    “Then what are you saying?” Carson asked, standing up. “You’re not making any sense! You’re acting


    like you have some kind of im on Serena and her kids, and have to know what she is doing every


    minute, who she is with at all times. Need I remind you that you have a girlfriend?”


    “No, you don’t need to remind me,” Logan said sharply, turning around so he didn’t have to see the


    using look in Carson’s eyes. “And, do I also need to remind you that Holly is pregnant with your


    child?” he pressed. “Logan, you have yourmitments, and they have nothing to do with Serena or


    me.” Logan growled, whipping around to re at his Beta. “I’m Alpha,” he said. “Everything that


    happens in the pack is my business. That includes who new pack members are getting to know and


    who my Beta is consorting with.”


    “Consorting?” Carson asked, barking augh. “How many times do I have to say it, nothing is


    happening between us!” Logan shook his head.


    “How can I believe you when you’ve been hiding this from me?” he asked. Carson snorted and shook


    his head. “Listen to yourself,” Carson said. “You’re sounding paranoid.”

    Carson was one of the few who could be so honest and open and say what was on his mind without


    getting bacsh from the Alpha. Logan still wasn’t in the mood to be friendly though.


    “Look, I get it,” Carson said. “You’re an Alpha, and with thates certain possessive tendencies. The


    truth is, though, you can’t have it all. You’re having a baby with Holly. That means Serena is free to do


    what she wants, and so am I. I don’t think she sees me that way, but I’m not going to stop trying.”


    Logan gave a warning growl. It rose up so fast, he didn’t have the chance to swallow it back down. “I’ll


    be watching you closely,” Logan told Carson, ring at him. Carson sighed, shaking his head. He sat


    heavily down into his chair. “Sure, whatever you say,” he said. Logan bristled, but Carson wasn’t going


    to engage in fighting with him further. In a still soured mood, Logan left Carson’s office. He grumbled to


    himself as he walked home. The anger still burned in his veins, fire shooting through his limbs,


    beckoning him tosh out, to bite and fight until he could make sense of what he was feeling and


    thinking! He tried to clear his head on his way home, but all these thoughts of Serena and Carson


    together kept flickering through his mind. It did bother him, thinking of her with another male. He had no


    idea why! It was possible he was fixating on her so that he didn’t have to think about Holly and the child


    he wasn’t ready for.


    The afternoon sun was warm as he walked home. He took the long way to avoid busy areas of the


    vige. He wasn’t in the mood to see anyone else, and he had a feeling he’dsh out at anyone that


    tried to speak to him. As much as it would make him feel better, as Alpha, he knew he had to show


    some restraint.


    It was easier to avoid that conflict than try to make up for itter.


    As it was, his thoughts returned to the problem he was wrestling with. There was a part of him that


    knew that Carson and Serena were not obligated to tell him if they were spending time together or


    dating. Shaking his head, Logan tried to clear his mind of those thoughts. It was bad enough that he


    was going home to a pregnant girlfriend he didn’t know how to handle. The idea that he was just


    projecting his frustration was starting to be a more rational consideration. Anger cooling, Logan


    started to feel better. He was still confused about what he was feeling, and there was a lingering feeling


    of betrayal and paranoia. Being outside helped him breathe deeply and release his anger.


    When he got home, he kicked his shoes off, got himself a beer, and then slumped down on the couch.


    Rxing, he tried to think of something other than Serena and his Beta getting closer. The only other


    thoughts that wanted to surface, though, were about Holly and the baby.


    He’d have to talk to her soon. He’d avoided the conversation Serena had told him he needed to have.


    He knew she was right, but he was still mad enough at her that he would avoid the conversation as a


    means to spite her. Loganughed to himself. He was being so childish! He knew that, but he also felt


    justified in his anger and his betrayal. That was the part he couldn’t exin!
