NovelEnglishChapter 143: Visiting Professor
At the hospital on her next shift, Serena decided to call her professor back. She hadn‘t returned his call initially, because of what
Adriana had said, She really didn‘t want any complicated rumors causing problems between her and Logan The
truth was, there wasn’t anything going on between her and her professor He had been a guide to her in the human world, and sh
e felt
grateful to him. She wanted to think that she could explain that to logan and he would understand, be respectful, and trust her. T
hey had come so
far! “Hello?” a male Voice said on the other line, “Professor Alex Henderson?” Serena asked. “This is he,” the professor replied. “
Alex, it is Serena,” she said with a little laugh. Alex sighed into the phone.
“Way to keep me hanging,” he said. “I thought I‘d get a call back in less than forty–
eight hours. I was ready to give up on you.” Serena giggled. “Sorry,” she said. “Things have been hectic in my life. There‘s a lot g
oing on for me personally, and with the pack.” “Ah yes, the pack,” Alex said, “I do want
to hear all about it. Do you think your hectic life can pause long enough for a visit with an old friend?” “A visit? Alex, you know I c
an’t leave the pack whenever I want for a trip into the human world,” she reminded him with a head shake. “Serena, you know
me better than that,” Alex said with a chuckle. “I was asking if I could come visit you.” “Really?” Serena asked. “You want to come
to
pack territory? Okay, what happened to the professor i knew?” Alex laughed on the phone, “Nothing at all,” he said, “I‘m in need
of a vacation and I have been wanting to follow up with you to see where life has taken you. It seemed like as good a time as any
.” “I‘d love for you to come visit, I just need to get clearance from the Alpha first,” she said.
“Alpha Logan?” Alex asked. “Yes,” Serena said. “He‘s my Alpha and my mate of all things.” “Then, do you really need his permiss
ion?” Alex asked. Serena sighed. She knew she needed it. Logan would be much more likely to have a jealousy attack if a rando
m male from her past showed up without any warning “It is the respectful thing for me to do,” she said. “He is still my Alpha”
“Alright, alright,” Alex said. “I was hoping to leave here tomorrow aftemoon, which would allow me to arrive in Night Sky teritory th
e following morning. Unless I hear
otherwise, I will make my travel arrangements.” “Sounds good,” Serena said. “I‘m looking forward to seeing you.” “As am 1, Alex
Serena couldn‘t help her glowing smile throughout her work day. Every patient she saw commented on it. She was excited to see
her old professor because he had helped her a lot. Being a werewolf in the human world could be hard. Alex was her support sy
stem and helped her land on her feet. Though they‘d never had anything romantic, he was still important to her success in the hu
man world and her success as a doctor. On her lunch break, Serena went to Logan‘s office. She wanted to talk to him about her
professor in person and she wanted to do it somewhere where the kids wouldn‘t witness an argument if it came to that. She was
n‘t ruling it out with how jealous Logan could get.
“What an unexpected surprise,” Logan said. He stepped back from the door and let Serena into his office. “Something wrong?” H
e arched an eyebrow at her. “No,” Serena said. She sat down in a chair and Logan went around his desk, taking his seat again.
“Okay, Serena, why have you come to see me in the middle of the afternoon?” he asked. He smirked and looked her up and dow
n. “Not that I mind.” Serena giggled, her cheeks flushing “Sorry, I‘m here for something else,” she said. “Do you know a wolf nam
ed Alex Henderson?” Logan creased his brow. “The name is somewhat familiar,” he admitted. “Not a name I have heard in a long
time, though.” “That‘s because he lives in the human world. He was a professor of mine in med school, helped me adapt to hum
an life,” she explained.
“Okay,” Logan said with a nod,
“Well, he reached out to me, wanting to follow up on where my life has taken me since med school,” she explained. “He says he
wants to come for a visit, but I wanted to
clear it with you first.”
Logan‘s lips lightened for a moment and Serena worried he was about to have an angry outburst, then he cracked a smile. Loga
n stood up and moved to the front of his desk He leaned his hips against the desk and bent forward, placing a hand on Serena‘s
kned
“Why would I have a problem with that?” he asked Serena shrugged.
“You‘re still me Alpha, and he isn‘t a member of the pack I didn‘t want to make a decision that allowed a non pack member entran
ce to the femtory,” she pointed oul. Logan smirked
“I see,” he said. “You have my permission to have a visit from a former professor 1 wouldn‘t stand in your way.” “Thank you, Loga
n” Serena said, “I think you‘ll really like him.” “I‘m sure I will,” Logan said with a nod Serena stood up and kissed Logan quickly o
n the lips.
“I‘ve got to get back to work,” she said. He nodded.
needed time to think about it. He was showing her that he respected her and trusted her. She liked that! Back at the hospital, Ser
ena called Alex again and confirmed that he could come for a visit. She confirmed the timing and then went back to work Serena
topped by the nurse‘s station, pulling new charts out for patients that were waiting in exam rooms. “You‘re smiling
again,” Adriana said. Serena rolled her eyes. “My professor is coming for a visit,” she said. “And before you get any idea, I alread
y cleared it with Logan, and it is supportive of it.” “Good,” Adriana said with a nod.
“You‘re not going to make any jokes or twisted remarks?” Serena asked. Adriana laughed.
“Not this time,” she said. “If Logan is okay with it, then clearly I was way off the mark.” Serena laughed and nodded.
She went to the next exam room on her list. A wolf had come in complaining of a stomach ache and sore throat.
“Go ahead and lie back,” Serena said, reviewing the chart quickly. The wolf laid back on the table and
Serena put her stethoscope on.
She listened her patient‘s stomach and intestinal tract. Then she put the
stethoscope aside and gently probed at her patient‘s stomach.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“Does any of this hurt?” she asked.
“No,” her patient said. Serena
nodded. There weren‘t any hard lumps, but she did feel a few pockets of gas in her intestines. Next, Serena checked the wolf‘s t
hroat. Her glands were pretty swollen.
“You have some indigestion,” Serena said. “And you might have a viral infection causing the sore throat. I‘ll prescribe you some an
acid and an anti–viral.”
“Thank you, Serena,” the wolf said. Serena wrote up the script and gave her patient her discharge form
She updated the patient file and went on to the next exam room
When Serena got home from her shift at the hospital, Logan was already there. He
had even started dinner again. “Do you actually like cooking?” Serena asked. Logan shrugged. “I don‘t dislike it,” he admitted. “Yo
“You have a jealous streak,” Serena reminded him. Logan laughed again and shook his head.
“Are you saying you had a romantic relationship with him?” he asked. Serena shook her head.
“Not at all,” she assured.
“Then why would I be worried?” he asked. “You were worried about Carson
and me, after both of us told you there was nothing romantic going on,” she remined him. Logan sighed. “I trust you, Serena,” he s
Logan taking responsibility for his emotions, and acknowledging that he had
verreacted before. He was growing.
