Chapter 88: It Doesnât Matter
Serena hadnât been expecting Logan to kiss her. When he did, she couldnât pull away. Something in her
snapped! She didnât know if it was because they were mates or because she had been thinking about
the night they spent together earlier. She didnât know if it was because she had longed to feel his lips
on hers again, even if she tried to deny it to herself, or if it was because he was the father of her twins!
Sighing, Serena parted her lips, opening herself up as he kissed her more intensely. He gripped her
arms tighter, muscle against bone, but the pain was nothing to her, not against the sensation of his hot,
angry lips as they moved furiously in time with hers. She kissed back, grabbing at his sides. Logan
pushed her up against the wall of the treehouse, and her mind flooded with more memories from the
night theyâd spent together.
She was angry, Logan was angry, but he kissed her like he wanted to devour her completely! Passion
overtook her and her whole body quivered with heat. Logan grunted, kissing her more aggressively and
pushing her harder into the wall. Serena moaned, tightening her hands on his sides. She pulled him
closer, his body pressing against hers, pinning her to the wall. âLogan,â she whispered after a moment,
quickly coming to her senses. Logan sighed, pulling his lips from hers. He didnât step away from her
right away. Serena didnât release her hold on him. Her whole body hummed being so close to him, and
when his lips werenât on hers anymore, she felt like pulling him back. She looked into his eyes, seeing
the same neediness there that she felt down to her core! âWhat was that?â she asked him. Logan
scoffed and released her, stepping away. âNothing,â he said. âIt didnât feel like nothing,â Serena argued,
still panting slightly to catch her breath after the intensity of that kiss. âI want to be there for my kids,â
Logan said. âIf you gave me the chance, I would have been there.â âI know,â she said. âIâm not like you,
Serena,â Logan said. âIâm not going to leave my child without a parent. Holly is having my baby, and I
am going to be there every moment of their life.â âIâd expect nothing less,â Serena said with a nod.
âWhat did you feel, when I kissed you?â Logan asked. Serena sighed, shaking her head.
âDoes it matter?â she asked. She didnât want to admit that she had wanted him to consumer her
entirely. She had wanted him to tear her clothes off and do all the
things heâd done to her the night that theyâd been there years ago! Thinking about it made her stomach
flutter and her knees go a little weak. She looked away from Logan, completely unable to look at him
without feeling like she wanted to kiss him again. âIt matters,â Logan said. âI want you to know what you
felt when I kissed you.â Serena kept her eyes averted. She debated telling him the truth, but it wouldnât
change anything. Heâd already told her that he was going to stay with Holly and raise their kid, which
meant she had no future with him and neither did her kids. âIt wonât change anything,â she pointed out.
âYou already made your decision to be with Holly and your baby. So, thereâs no point in me telling you
what I felt.â Logan growled a little, finally coming down from his anger now that he had so boldly
redirected the feeling into lust.
âNo, it wouldnât change anything,â Logan admitted. He sighed, crossing his arms and taking another
step back from Serena. âThen why even ask?â she asked. âAre you just looking for more things to
argue with me about? Because, I canât do that anymore. I canât be your emotional punching bag.â
Loganâs eyes softened, and Serena realized the fight was over. He was calm again, and she didnât
have to be so on edge. âYouâre not my emotional punching bag,â he said firmly. âI know Iâve lost my
temper at you several times recentlyâ¦as long as you can promise me there isnât anything else youâve
kept hiddenâ¦or if there is, come clean nowâ¦â Serena sighed heavily.
Sheâd finally come clean about it all. Sheâd told Logan her greatest secrets about the kids, her family,
and about all the things sheâd been finding out and feeling since sheâd gone to Night Sky and
discovered who Logan was.
Serena carefully thought back so see if there was anything else she hadnât told him. She didnât want to
have him get mad at her again for something that she forgot about. Theyâd gone over it all. Other than
her own thoughts and feelings about Logan. In one day, heâd found out that she was his mate, and
found out the twins were his. There wasnât anything else she could think of that she hadnât told him. âI
canât think of anything,â she said. Logan sighed, nodding. âI donât want you to think Iâm like this all the
time,â he said, suddenly looking concerned that she would think differently of them. Serena nodded.
âYouâve got a lot going on,â she said. âI get it, Iâve seen the pressure an Alpha can be under.
Moonshine, getting ready to go to war, a difficult girlfriend, a baby you arenât sure you wantâ¦I know
this all just adds to that. Maybe now you can understand the confusion Iâve been dealing with too.â She
didnât want to make him mad again, but she was hoping that he had calmed down enough to be
rational, now. âYouâre right,â he admitted finally. âIt has been a lot. I guess I took it out on you
because it was convenient.â Serena sighed. It wasnât exactly whal bile Wallilu but at least he was being
honest with himself. âLook, we donât have to make a big deal out of this,â Serena ventured. âI mean,
you know what you have to do, and I know that my involvement will just make things more
complicated for you.â âIt is a big deal, though, isnât it?â Logan asked. âYea, it is,â Serena admitted. She
couldnât deny the fact that the knowledge changed things immensely. She had no idea what to do with
it though. âLogan, despite everything, I am glad that you know,â she said. âI donât like keeping secrets. I
donât like pretending not to know things when I do. None of this was easy and none of this was done
with the intention of hurting you. I know that doesnât make it better.â âI know that,â Logan said with a
nod. âI mean, I understand.â With a heavy sigh, the Alpha turned away from Serena. A little more
distance between the two of them felt better. Serena took a deep breath of the air around them.
Loganâs scent wasnât as strong since he moved away, and she felt the heat on her skin start to fade.
Keeping their distance. That was what best way Serena knew how to handle this. Logan would mark
Holly and vice versa. When that happened, he wouldnât feel the same about her anymore. Not in terms
of their mate connection. That was what was best for the pack and for Loganâs unborn child. Serena
would never want to deprive a child of their father. She hadnât intentionally done that with her children
either, it had just made more sense at the time and with the circumstances not to pursue it. Now, she
didnât have a choice but to keep Logan from them. At least, she had to keep the truth of who Logan
was from them. She wondered if she should start to limit the time that they spent with Logan. Heâd have
a new baby soon, and he would be occupied with the child. He still had the pack to look after and they
would be going to war with Moonshine soon. He had enough to deal with. Trying to field a confusing
relationship with kids he knew were his but couldnât be a father tooâ¦
She also didnât want the twins to be hurt. If she started to limit their contact with him now, then once he
was less available because of everything else, they wouldnât take it so hard.
Sighing, Serena knew that this was a decision she would have to make with Logan. She couldnât
pretend that Logan didnât have a say anymore. He was Olivia and Oliverâs father, and now he knew it.
She could only start making up for what she kept from him by acknowledging his role as their father, by
giving him some say in what happened from here. It was hard for her to relinquish control. The kids had
always been her responsibility
and hers alone. She had to show Logan that she wasnât doing this to hurt him. âLogan, we have to talk
about what we are going to tell everyone else,â Serena said.
