Chapter 93: Family Discussions
âSo, is Logan going to be their dad?â Charlotte asked, bringing the subject back around. Serena
sighed, âIt isnât that easy,â she said. âHeâs going to tell his mother, but Logan has other obligations. He
is Alpha, and he has a girlfriend who is pregnant.â
âWhat!?â Charlotte asked. Thomas growled low. Serena hadnât heard her father growl like that in a long
time! âGuys, he was dating her a long time before I ever ended up at Night Skyâ Serena said. âI didnât
even get the DNA results until after Holly found out that she was pregnant.â âI canât believe he is having
a child with Holly.â Santino grumbled. âSeriously, Iâve met her a few times, and she is high
maintenance.â âWell, if that is the kind of female Logan is attracted to, then obviously he and I would
never work,â Serena said. âBesides, it is just about the twins now.â âBut you said he isnât going to be a
father to them,â her father pointed out. Serena nodded.
âNot in the traditional sense,â she said. âI mean, he already spends a lot of time with them and he treats
them just like his own already. Thatâs not going to change. He wonât identify himself as their father,
though.â
âAre you sure that is wise, letting them get more attached?â Thomas asked. âWhen the new baby
comes.â Serena sipped her coffee.
âI know,â she said sternly. âThat is one of the reasons we didnât want to tell them yet. Eventually, we will
find a way to tell them. They will want to know where they come from, but for now...â
âIt is too complicated with another pregnant female involved,â Santino said, backing up his sister.
Serena smiled at him, appreciating the save. âWe will tell them,â she assured. âI just want to make sure
it is at a time when Loganâs attention isnât too divided. The kids can still know him, and weâve agreed to
make decisions together for them going forward.â âIt isnât fair to them,â Charlotte said. âThey should
know the truth.â âAnd we will tell them, when we figure out the best way to do it,â Serena said. She
sighed and dropped her forehead down on the table. âWe are their parents, and we are going to do this
our way.â
âItâs okay, Serena,â Santino said, putting his hand on her back and rubbing gent!y. âYouâll do what is
best for the kids, and for the two of you.â âThank you,â Serena said, looking up at her brother. She was
so grateful that he was taking her side and helping her take a stand against her parents.
Serena, the twins need to know the truth, there is no way around that,â Thomas 1432

insisted.
âThat isnât for you to decide,â Serena pointed out. âLogan and I have already reached a conclusion
about how we are going to handle this. I donât need two sets of grandparents weighing in.â Charlotte
and Thomas exchanged looks. Serena hoped they were ready to give up the criticism.
âAlright, we are behind you, darling, but you canât keep this a secret forever,â Charlotte told her.
âI donât intend to,â Serena assured. âThere is just too muchâ¦with Moonshine and Holly and her babyâ¦
the timing is just all wrong.â
âSpeaking of Moonshine,â Santino said as a means to change the subject. âDad and I are going
with you and Logan. The kids shouldnât come though, not if we are going to
war.â
âI agreeâ Serena said with a nod. âThey can stay with me,â Charlotte confirmed. âI wonât let anything
happen to them. We will be far away from the fighting here, anyway.â Serena nodded. âIs Logan going
to tell Holly?â Santino asked. Serena stared at her brother. Sheâd thought that he had moved on from
the topic.
âI donât know,â she admitted. âI donât think he has decided. She will have to know eventually as well, but
I donât think he is in any rush to tell her. She isnât the most agreeable, and she is in a delicate
condition.â âYou think sheâs at risk of losing the baby?â Charlotte asked, concern flickering in her eyes.
Serena shrugged. âI think her condition, whether physical or mental, is variable and volatile,â Serena
admitted. She didnât tell them that she wasnât sure if Holly was even really pregnant. She didnât want to
spin the rumor mill and talk too much about someone elseâs relationship. âThat does complicate
matters.â Thomas agreed. Serena nodded, finishing her coffee. âI know what you all want me to do,â
she said. âI will do it, but it is really up to Logan and me.â
âAlright, we can agree on that,â Thomas said with a nod. âI wonât agree with you sitting around when
some other female has her claws in your mate!â Serena shook her head and chuckled.
âThat isnât up to any of us,â Serena insisted. âLogan is allowed to follow his heart, pursue his own
relationships. He has no obligation to me. He didnât even know the twins were his until today. Whatever
he has done or how he has chosen to live before now is not for me to judge, not for any of us to judge.
There were some nonsensical mumbles from her parents and Serena rolled her eyes. She brought her
mug to the kitchen sink and set it down while her parents bickered

back and forth about her children. âI donât know about you, Serena, but I think you should fight for him,â
Santino said from the table. Serena turned around, leaning back against the counter. She raised an
eyebrow at him. âLogan and I are complicated enough without trying to actually be in a relationship.â
she said.
âHoney, if you two are mates, then you know should talk about that,â Charlotte encouraged. âIt doesnât
matter if he and Holly are together. It doesnât matter if Holly is going to have his baby, the two of you
are mates.â Serena crossed her arms and shook her head. âLook, Logan already said heâs not going to
leave his new child without a parent,â Serena snapped. âHeâs made his decision, regardless of if we are
mates or not.â Charlotte scoffed and Thomas shook his head. âDid the two of you even talk about that
today, or did you just talk about the kids?â he asked his daughter. Serena chewed her lower lip. She
and Logan had hardly broached on the topic of being mates. Everything had been about the kids and
why she hadnât told him.
The fact that they were mates seemed like a footnote compared to everything else they had to talk
about.
âI donât know if we should have that conversation,â Serena confessed. âIt would just make things even
more complicated. It isnât like he is going to leave Holly, and if she knowsâ¦â Serena trailed off.
She didnât want to think of the tantrum Holly would throw if Logan not only told her that they had twins,
but that they were also mates. Holly had always seemed to think she and Logan were mates, but the
truth was indisputable now. Logan had smelled her, and sheâd already known it from before, or at least
suspected it enough. Serena filed that conversation away for later. There would be a time for them to
address all these issues, but for now, that had to take it one problem at a time.
âDo you guys think we could get the Moonshine situation under control before you are all on my case
about who Iâm with, whether or not my kids know who their father is, and if Logan is going to be with
Holly or not?â she asked with a heavy sigh. âAlright, alright,â Thomas said, standing up. âWeâve all had
a long, interesting day. It might be better to table the conversation for now until the mood and
circumstances have improved. âThank you,â Serena said, smiling at her father. He nodded at her. There
was a knock on the living room door. Perfect timing to end their conversation! Santino opened the door
and the kids ran in. Santino stepped out onto the deck with
âMommy, we got to play tag with Logan, and he took us out on the dock and we looked at the fish,â
Olivia said running up to her.
âWow!â Serena said, shifting into âmom mode.â
âAnd we made Logan happy and sad,â Oliver said. âHappy and sad?â Serena asked, touching Oliverâs
head. He nodded, but he didnât seem to know how else to explain it. âDid you have fun with him?â âYes,
he plays a lot with us,â Olivia said.
âHe said when we go home, heâll come with us,â Oliver added. Serena sighed.
âHeâll be around as much as he can,â Serena said. âYou know he has his own house and family too,
though.â âWe know,â the twins grumbled. Serenaâs heart ached to see them look so crestfallen! She
wanted to give them everything, including a father and a real family. She could tell they wanted that too,
and theyâd already latched into Logan as their father figure. She hoped keeping the truth from them a
little longer wouldnât end up hurting them more.
