Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 79


    Chapter 79: What to do About Moonshine


    “All-out-war,” Thomas muttered. “That does have a ominous sound to it.” “Then again, force is all Alpha


    Damon has ever responded to” Santino said. Logan sighed, looking between the father and son. It


    made him nostalgic for the days he and his own father worked alongside each other. He wondered if


    Holly were to have a boy, would he have simr moments with his own son?


    “My pack is strong,” Logan assured. “Moonshine has depleted their resources. That already gives us


    an advantage. With Starseeker on our side, it would only increase our odds.” “But at what cost?”


    Thomas asked, eyes falling to the floor. Logan crossed his legs. “This is another reason I have been


    hesitant in seeking your involvement,” he admitted. “Damon and his pack are weakening, but that


    doesn’t mean they are weak or can’t do plenty of damage.” “I understand your concerns,” Thomas said.


    “We aren’t going to leave you to handle this yourself, though,” Santino promised. “Alpha Damon


    crossed a line. He nearly killed you, and it isn’t just petty power grabs anymore, he is endangering the


    lives of females and pups by raiding your resources.” Logan chuckled, appreciating Santino’s


    enthusiasm. They were about the same age, so he could rte to Santino on an emotional level. The


    eagerness to take a stand, the desire to show what he was capable of. One thing Logan had that


    Santino didn’t was experience. He felt the weight of his experiences rest on his shoulders like added


    years that Santino didn’t have. “My pack is perfectly well cared for and fed,” Logan assured. “Though, if


    Moonshine continues, they may not always be.” “Well, not to sound selfish or anything, but my sister


    and niece and nephew are also at risk with Moonshineing after your pack,” Santino pointed out.


    “Yes, Serena’s involvement does give us a personal interest in the matter,” Thomas echoed the


    sentiment. “I would never let anything happen to her, to any of them,” Logan promised, sitting up


    straight and nodding for emphasis. “That is a bold statement to make,” Santino pointed out, raising an


    eyebrow at Logan. Pursing his lips, Logan crossed his arms over his chest. “Isn’t that what one is


    supposed to say when someone expresses concern over a loved one?” he asked. Santino smirked at


    him. “That’s enough,” Thomas said, ending the argument before it started.


    “Sorry, Dad” Santino said. Logan didn’t like the way Serena’s brother kept looking at him. It reminded


    him of how his own mother kept giving him nces and making pointedments. Santino obviously


    suspected something that Logan wasn’t aware of. He wondered how much Serena had told her family


    about him and his recent behavior towards her. It made him ufortably suddenly, sitting in the


    home of a female he’d lost his temper on, made horrible usations to, and acted like a controlling,


    possessive jerk!


    After all that, she’d still saved his life, and he’d just let her leave without putting up any kind of fight or


    giving her a genuine apology! He hoped that Thomas and Santino didn’t know all that, that they weren’t


    judging him or silently seething. Thomas’sment about wanting to surprise the twins with his


    presence would lead him to think otherwise…but Santino’s looks and remarks…


    Logan sighed, shaking his head to get past the insecurity. “Serena and my pack doctor Adriana have


    spent time updating our medical facility. All the equipment and supplies has been fully updated and


    renewed. With my staff and updated facilities, we have the ability to treat and care for any wounded,


    including any overflow from Starseeker,” he offered. Thomas nodded. “Good,” he said. “We aren’t


    lacking resources, but if we are going to take on Moonshine directly, it would be easier to set up an


    encampment within Night Sky territory. Yours does border theirs.” “Yes,” Logan said with a nod.


    “Probably why we have seen most of the aggression.” “I do apologize for never stepping in or offering a


    hand before now.” Thomas added. “I honestly didn’t know how bad it had gotten.” “I fear that we were


    only prolonging the inevitable,” Logan admitted. “The attacks are more frequent and more desperate. If


    we were to lose any ground at all, they’d being here next.” “My fear as well” Thomas admitted.


    “So, that’s it?” Santino asked. “We are really going to go to war with Moonshine? They were our


    friends.”


    “Were,” Thomas said.


    “They left he Federation, remember?” Logan pointed out. “I don’t want to hurt any innocent wolves who


    are only there because they have nowhere else to go.”


    “Then we do this neatly,” Thomas said. “We go straight for Damon and his most loyal underlings.


    Everyone else is spared, at least until we can discover where their loyaltieslie“That makes sense”


    Logan said with a nod. “Anyone who is below Damon or those he trusts most…they won’t have the


    authority to gather the troops. They will be too lost and confused to rally enough force to gyee us


    before we gain the upper hand.”

    “You don’t think Damon has been nning for this or anticipating this for a while!” Santino asked.


    Logan rolled his tongue around in his mouth as he thought. “I think he is prepared for this,” Logan


    admitted. “Though, I don’t think he has considered what kind of force we can muster and I don’t think


    he would anticipate us going directly for him and his most loyal wolves.” “Damon is the type to send


    underlings to do his dirty work,” Thomas concurred. “He will send the pawns into battle, and we have


    enough warriors to keep them upied while we slip in from behind and go directly for him.” “It is a


    good n,” Logan said with a nod. He turned towards the front door when he heard a car pull into the


    driveway. He heard the kids talking along with car doors mming. They didn’te through the front


    door though. The voices faded, and Logan heard them again from the back of the house. He wanted to


    go out there and see the kids and Serena. His heart practically burned for it! He stared at the door off


    the living room into the backyard. “Enjoying the scenery?” ‘Santino asked, reminding Logan that he had


    an audience. He looked back at Santino’s grinning face. “You’ll get your chance to see them,” Thomas


    added. “I don’t know, it seems like we are done here,” Santino said. “Besides, I want to see Serena’s


    face when she finds you here.” Logan rolled his eyes. “I doubt she will care much,” Logan muttered,


    though he was hopeful. Santinoughed and shook his head. “Sure, sure,” he said. “Okay, okay.”


    Thomas said, jumping in again. “I think we should act on this Moonshine matter immediately.” “Agreed”


    Logan said. “Fine, fine,” Santino said. “When I go back to Night Sky, you are wee to join me so we


    can set up the encampment. You can send for your warriors after that.” “That sounds like a n”


    Thomas said. Logan nodded. “Well, now that the boring stuff is out of the way, Logan, what are your


    intentions for my sister?” Santino asked. Logan raised an eyebrow. “I don’t understand,” he said. “Well,


    you’ve gotten awfully close to the twins,” Serena’s brother said. “One might think you have…other


    intentions.” The suggestiveness in Santino’s tone was not lost on Logan. “She saved my life,” Logan


    said. “I don’t think I could ever repay her for that.” “It sounds like you’ve been interested in her a lot


    longer than that,” Santino pressed. 3/4


    Thomas sighed and left the room. Logan knew that meant the meeting was over, but Santino wasn’t


    letting him get off so easily. “I helped her out when she transferred in,” Logan said vaguely. “The twins


    got attached, and I enjoy being around them. Other than that, I’m not sure what you want me to say.”


    “Alright,” Santino said, not looking convinced. Logan felt himself getting angry. He clenched his fists at


    his sides to prevent himself fromshing out. “You do know I am involved with another female, right?”


    he asked. “One who is pregnant with my child?” Santino stopped smiling. “No, I didn’t know that,” he


    admitted. “Funny how she onlyes up now…” Logan growled and rolled his eyes. “I know you have


    a certain loyalty to your sister, and I think she is a wonderful female; strong, independent, a good


    mother,” Logan said. “I can’t dwell on anything that might have happened, should circumstances be


    different.” After talking so much, Logan cleared his throat, touching the scars again. He still wasn’t able


    to carry on long conversations without his throat going dry. His voice would still strain too easily, and he


    couldn’t muster the same force in his words as he used to “I understand,” Santino said. “Wait here, I’ll


    get you something to drink.” Logan nodded.


    “Thank you,” he said as Santino left for the kitchen. Logan got up and went to the mantle to look at


    family photos.
