Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 86


    Chapter 86: Going in Circles


    “You should have told me,” Logan said again. Serena inched away from him as much as she could in


    the enclosed space. He was fuming, nostrils ring, breathing heavily Serena regretted bringing him up


    into the treehouse. She couldn’t escape if he lost it on her, which he was dangerously close to do. “We


    are going in circles here, Logan,” she said. “I didn’t tell you because you had other priorities and I have


    to think of my kids first!” Growling, Logan grabbed the windowsill in the tree house. He shook the wood.


    It was fragile and aged, unused and unkept. The entire tree house trembled, and Serena grabbed the


    nearest branch in an attempt to keep herself steady. “Stop it, Logan!” she snapped. “You’ll bring the


    whole tree house down.” “Do you really think I care about this ce anymore?” he asked, rounding on


    her with fury in his eyes. “This ce means nothing, the time we spent here means nothing!” Serena


    gasped. “Is that really how you feel?” she asked, creasing her brow. Logan growled and kicked the


    treehouse wall, his foot going right through the wood and leaving a hole. “Do you care how I feel?” he


    countered. “You haven’t done anything with any regard for my feelings. Why start now?” “Logan!”


    Serena snapped. “I’ve already exined to you. This whole thing has been confusing enough for me as


    it is. Do you think I could risk the twins being just as confused as me, if not more so?” “I’m your Alpha”


    Logan said. Serena rolled her eyes. She had wondered when he was going to y that card. “You


    have a duty and a responsibility to me as leader of the pack.” “Maybe that’s true, but I also have a duty


    and responsibility to my kids,” she said, crossing her arms. Logan scoffed. “Now, you sound like Holly,”


    he said. “What did you just say to me!?” Serena snapped. She took a step forward, ready tosh out at


    Logan, but he met her head no with a re and sharp eyes. “I said you sound like Holly,” Logan


    repeated. “All she does is go on and on about how I spend too much time worrying about the pack and


    not enough about her and our baby.” Serena chuckled mirthlessly and shook her head. “That is not the


    same,” Serena said. “I didn’t tell you because I knew what your obligations were and I knew it would


    tear you in too many different directions.” Logan snorted.


    He sighed, looking away from Serena.


    “Then, should I be thanking you?” he asked. Serena scoffed.


    “You shouldn’t be punishing me!” she said. “Weren’t you the one punishing me?” Logan asked back.


    “You were mad that I was never around to help you or support you or raise the twins, so you had to


    pretend that they were better off without a father!” “Oh, Logan, now you are just being petty!” Serena


    hissed. Logan looked taken aback, like she’d pped him. “Don’t project your issues with Holly onto


    me and the past you didn’t even know we had.”


    “I’m not projecting!” Logan insisted vehemently “I get it,” Serena said more softly. She thought if she


    could appeal to him emotionally, then maybe his rational thoughts would kick in. He was still acting so


    out of control and off the rails!


    “Get what?” he asked, crossing his arms.


    “You’re feeling insecure about your rtionship with Holly, you’re feeling like you aren’t ready to have


    kids, and now you have to ept our baby with Holly and finding out you have older twins. It is a lot to


    handle,” she said.


    “It is, but that is not what I am upset about,” Logan said, throwing his arm out to the side. “I am upset


    because you chose not to tell me. Even after you knew the truth, you made that choice without me.


    You‘ve made every choice about the twins without


    me.”


    “And what would you have me do, Logan? Hop in my time machine and go back to the moment I found


    out I was pregnant? If I told you I’d tried to find out who the father was back then, would it change how


    you feel now?” With each question she asked, she stomped her foot on the floor. “Look, I get that you


    can’t go back in time,” he said. “I get that you think you made all the right choices, but you’re already at


    the end of the story. You went through it all, you had all the knowledge for weeks. I’m only just finding


    this out. What am I supposed to do with any of this?” “I don’t know, Logan,” Serena said. She sighed.


    The two of them fell into a tense, awkward silence. Logan kept gently kicking his foot against the


    damaged all and Serena kept looking down at the forest below them. She wanted to get out of the


    treehouse, but she knew that if she tried to leave, Logan wouldn’t let her!


    Sighing, Serena wondered what the twins were up to. She reflected back on everything they’d been


    through since arriving in Night Sky. Had she just told Logan when meeting him that she knew him,


    maybe things would be different, but she doubted it.


    If anything, the twins would have been pulled back and forth between her and Logan until the truth


    came out. Holly would still be pregnant, and there wouldn’t be any way


    around that.


    “Logan, if I had told you that I knew you, that we spent a night together here, you wouldn’t have bonded


    with the twins like you have,” she said. “From the start, it would have been a question of whether you


    were their father or not, but it wouldn’t have made things any lessplicated than they are now.” “I


    don’t think that is true,”Logan said. “I have adored the twins since the momenti met them. Do you think


    that would have been different if I had the slightest inkling that they were mine?”


    Serena shrugged. “We can’t know,” she said. “I mean, think about it. Think back to before you knew


    them, before you knew me. If I had told you that first day that we had a history...do you really think that


    you would have gone above and beyond to get close to them? You probably would have pulled away


    until you had your answers.” Logan shook his head. “And still, you seem to think so poorly of me,”


    Logan said. “I’m not a bad guy. I know | have a temper, but you should know me better than that by


    now.” “Yea, Logan, now I do! At the time, you were just some guy I’d had a one night stand with,” she


    said. Logan winced. “That’s harsh,” he said. “It isn’t how I feel about you now,” Serena said. “I think of


    you as a friend, and I am so


    grateful that you have bonded with the twins.” “A friend?” Logan asked. “A friend? You have the


    audacity to call me a friend? You kept something life changing, one of the most important things I could


    ever learn, from me!” “Okay, maybe I was premature in using that term,” she muttered. “So, have you


    just been testing me since you met me? Trying to figure out if I’d be a good father?” he asked. “Has


    anything between us been real?” Serena sighed again. “No, that isn’t…” she trailed off. “I wasn’t testing


    you, but I have been listening to everything you say and watching how you are with me, with Holly, and


    with the kids. I had to know who you were if I was ever going to figure out when and what to tell you


    and Olivia and Oliver.” “I can’t trust that,” Logan said, shaking his head. “I can’t believe that you haven’t


    been testing me.” “And here we go again,” Serena, said throwing her hands up. “You are right back to


    saying that you can’t trust me or believe me because I didn’t tell you every little detail of my personal


    life! You know, it wasn’t until you yelled at me in the hospital that I really knew I couldn’t tell you the


    truth, and here you are, doing it again!” “What are you talking about?” Logan snapped. “You’re judging


    me on how I’ve handled situations?” he asked. Serena scoffed. “I’m not judging you! I’m just looking out


    for my kids! Something you don’t understand,” she insisted.

    “You do not have the right to tell me that I can’t be around my own kids. You don’t have the right to


    keep them away from me!” Logan hissed. “And how do I know you would have believed me?” she


    asked. “You haven’t exactly been the most…epting… when I give you distressing news.” “That is


    not true,” Logan hissed between clenched teeth. “If you’d told me the truth when you found out…” “No!”


    Serena snapped, cutting him off. She red at him fiercely. “No. Based on what I know about you now,


    I’m d I didn’t tell you, because I would have run away from the pack if you’d made half the


    usations you have between our argument at the hospital and today!”
