Kids from One Alpha

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 o
n 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?” Logan asked. “Only one, a first year class, but I knew there was something diff
erent
about her right away,” Alex explained. “And it wasn‘t just because she was a werewolf.” “And, I proved you right,” Serena said wit
h 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 resulted 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 chicken slowly. “Ahh, the two of
you have a history,” Alex said, motioning between the two of them. Logan saw Serena Blush again. He wondered what she had t
old Alex about them. “An ironic twist of events that one might call fated,” Logan said with a nod. Alex chuckled. “I always taught S
erena that she makes her 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 any 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 ba
ck 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 you to come back to pack lif
e,” Alex was saying, “It seemed like you shared my vision of freedom and independence.” 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 Seren
a. “Serena, I‘m going to head out for the night,” Logan said. Serena stood up. “I‘ll walk you out,” she said. At the front door she p
aused. “Logan, you don‘t have to go. You‘re welcome here any time. If you want to stay and reminisce with us, you can.” She gra

bbed his upper arm. Logan smiled at her offer. “I appreciate it,” he said. “I don‘t think I have much to offer reminiscing about medi
cal 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 stay in her room with her, b
ut he thought the timing would seem too odd. He didn‘t want Serena to think he 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 staying a few days, right?” Loga
n 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.” “That‘s not...” he trailed
off, taking a deep breath to settle the volume and tenseness in his voice. “That‘s not my concern.” Serena rolled her eyes. “I kno
w you have issues with jealousy,” she said. “I promise there is nothing going on between Alex and me. We never had a romantic
relationship, and we never had an intimate relationship. Is that enough for you?” Logan growled. It should have been enough for
him! He
should have been able to look at Serena and just trust her. He should have been able to acknowledge that she was telling him th
e truth and making an effort to ease his concerns. “I wish it was,” he said, “This isn‘t about you.” Logan took her hands in his. “I k
now,” she said. “You don‘t trust Alex. But please, Logan, 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 sh
ut him down.” Logan sighed. Again, he should have been able to trust her word He didn‘t know why his jealous temper
was brewing so much, “I‘m trying to
be okay with this,” Logan said. “I hope that is enough for you.” Serena smiled and squeezed his hands. She stepped closer and k
issed Logan on the lips. He kissed her back but she pulled

“I‘ll walk you out,” she said. At the front door she paused. “Logan, you
don‘t have to go. You‘re welcome here any time. If you want to stay and reminisce with us, you can.” She grabbed 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 t

away 100 soon
“Ils for me,” she said. Logan smirked.
“Alright, I will see
you tomorrow,” he offered, Serena nodded, “Have a good nighi,” she said. “You too,” he replied. As he walked off her porch, Seren
helped chill Logan‘s temper as he drove home with the windows down, He wasn‘t planning on unpacking his luggage from the car
away. “Serena has a male staying in her home,” he grumbled. Flo sighed. “Oh,” she said. Logan turned around to face his mother

“Oh?” he asked. “That‘s all you have to say? You‘re not going to lecture me on jealousy and my temper?” Flo snorted a laugh. “No
about you and would never lie to you again. But I also understand how jealous Alphas can get over something so little. There is no

too, even though she wasn‘t doing anything to make the situation better.
“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, the mattress felt so differe
Alone in the house with just his mother, he felt so far away from his family. It wasn‘t just jealousy over Serena spending time with a
