Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Jealousy

Logan suddenly felt like an outsider to his own family. The twins were happy to have him for dinner, but

Serena‘s full focus was on the professor. “I don‘t think I‘ve ever had such a gifted student,” Alex praised

her. Serena blushed and looked down at her plate. “How many classes of Serena‘s did you teach?” Lo

gan asked. “Only one, a first year class, but I knew there was something different

about her right away,” Alex explained. “And it wasn‘t just because she was a werewolf.” “And, I proved

you right,” Serena said with a laugh. She reached across the table and ran her hand down the back of

Olivia‘s head.

“It seems you had more going on in your life than I thought,” Alex said, eyeing the twins. “I can‘t believe

you were raising twins in school, and you never told me.” Logan watched the other male‘s expression.

He was looking for any hint that the professor might think the twins were his. Serena had told him they

hadn‘t had a romantic relationship, but he hadn‘t had a real romance with her either and that still resulte

d in the twins.

She hadn‘t explicitly stated that she and Alex hadn‘t slept together, even if for a one–

night stand. “Yes, the twins were my little secret in school,” Serena said with

a giggle. She looked across the table at Logan and winked at him. Logan smiled, chewing on his chicke

n slowly. “Ahh, the two of you have a history,” Alex said, motioning between the two of them. Logan sa

w Serena Blush again. He wondered what she had told Alex about them. “An ironic twist of events that

one might call fated,” Logan said with a nod. Alex chuckled. “I always taught Serena that she makes he

r own fate,” Alex said, glancing sideways at Serena. Logan swallowed the growi that rose in his throat.

“I think it is time I should be getting the twins to bed,” Logan said. He stood up. The twins didn‘t have a

ny problem following him upstairs. He went through their bedtime routine, happy to have the time alone

with them. They were clearly still

upset about him moving out, even just for a few days. When he tucked them in, he again assured them

both that he would be back soon. Logan returned to the kitchen to find Serena and

Alex angled towards each other and leaning in to each other as they spoke. “I really never expected yo

u to come back to pack life,” Alex was saying, “It seemed like you shared my vision of freedom and ind

ependence.” Logan cleared his throat as he sat down again. Serena leaned away from Alex slightly

“Priorities change,” she said flashing a smile at Logan. He wanted to think that her expressions towards

him were genuine, but it almost seemed like she was overcompensating. “I understand that,” Alex said.

Logan noticed how the professor looked at Serena. “Serena, I‘m going to head out for the night,” Loga

n said. Serena stood up. “I‘ll walk you out,” she said. At the front door she paused. “Logan, you don‘t ha

ve to go. You‘re welcome here any time. If you want to stay and reminisce with us, you can.” She grabb

ed his upper arm. Logan smiled at her offer. “I appreciate it,” he said. “I don‘t think I have much to offer

reminiscing about medical school and the human world. But you can tall me all about it later.” Serena

sighed and nodded.

She seemed genuinely upset that Logan didn‘t want to stay. He considered suggesting that he could st

ay in her room with her, but he thought the timing would seem too odd. He didn‘t want Serena to think h

e was trying to sneak ways to keep an eye on her and the professor.

“Alright,” she said. She opened the front door and walked out onto the porch with him. “He‘s just stayin

g a few days, right?” Logan asked when the door closed. Serena nodded.

“Yes, just for a few days,” she promised. “Logan, I know this isn‘t easy on you, to be away from the kids

him! He

should have been able to look at Serena and just trust her. He should have been able to acknowledge t

hat she was telling him the truth and making an effort to ease his concerns. “I wish it was,” he said, “Thi

s isn‘t about you.” Logan took her hands in his. “I know,” she said. “You don‘t trust Alex. But please, Log

an, trust me to tell

you the truth. If he did anything that I thought was inappropriate or that crossed a line, I would tell you,

and I would absolutely shut him down.” Logan sighed. Again, he should have been able to trust her wor

be okay with this,” Logan said. “I hope that is enough for you.” Serena smiled and squeezed his hands.

She stepped closer and kissed Logan on the lips. He kissed her back but she pulled

“Thanks,” Logan

said. “I‘ve got to get to bed.” Flo nodded. Logan went up to his room and laid down on the bed. Already,

Alone in the house with just his mother, he felt so far away from his family. It wasn‘t just jealousy over Se
