Chapter 153: Women‘s Center
“Logan, there is another pressing matter that needs to be
handled,” Carson told him, dropping a folder on his desk. Logan snapped out of his stupor. He‘d been thinking about Serena and
the kids. She hadn‘t spoken to him, but he had been spending plenty of time with the kids. He missed Serena, though. “What is t
he problem?” Logan asked. He opened the top of the folder and looked in at the pages. They were
personal documents of Moonshine refugees. Logan looked through the top pages. They were all women, all single mothers. “Mo
onshine has a lot of single mothers,” Carson said. “They‘ll be needing support,” Logan said. Carson nodded in agreement.
“Whatever Alpha Damon put them through, it wasn‘t good. Alpha Thomas has
sent over all the details and wants to know what we can do to help,” Carson reported.
“Don‘t call him that,” Logan grumbled. “What?” Carson asked. “Damon, do not honor him with the Alpha designation,” Logan clari
fied.
“Right, sorry,” Carson said. “These mothers, they‘ll need medical care for themselves and their children, housing resources, care
er placement,” Logan said. Carson nodded.
“I know you don‘t want to hear it, but there is a pack member who has experience with these things,” Carson said. Logan raised
an eyebrow at him. “What things?” Logan
asked, crossing his arms. “Medical care, being a single mother...” Carson trialed off. Logan nodded. “I‘ll give her a call,” he said,
waving Carson out of his office. Logan sighed, but he picked up his phone. “Hello?” Serena asked in an unenthusiastic voice. “S
erena, I have a pack matter I need your help on,” he said. Serena sighed heavily, like helping him was the last thing she wanted t
o do. “I‘ll be right over,” she said. She hung up before Logan could say anything else. He‘d seen Serena in passing when he wen
t to spend time with the kids, but he hadn‘t been alone with her or had a close up, one–on–one conversation with her for a while.
When she arrived, Serena was all business. “What can I help you with?” she asked. She sat in the chair across from Logan and
crossed her legs.
Your father sent over information on several Moonshine refugees that are single 0.51
mothers,” Logan explained. “I want to open a Women‘s Center for them, one that could give them and their children medical atte
that is a really great idea,” she said. “I‘m glad you think so,” Logan said with a nod. “You have particular expertise that is useful t
o this project.” “I do,” Serena agreed.
Logan put Serena in charge of the logistics for the center. He found a location where they could start setting up the facility. By the
time he told her about it, she already had equipment to be brought in and set up to make it homier and provide the services nee
ded.
The Alpha checked up on her while she was overseeing the renovations to the building and the installation of the new facilities. “
How‘s it going?” Logan asked. “Take those bunk beds into the back room,” Serena said, directing some wolves moving bunk bed
s. She turned to look at Logan, raising an eyebrow at him. “You don‘t need to check in every day.” “I‘m Alpha, of course, I do,” he
told her plainly. Serena sighed and shook her head. “A lot like the hospital renovations,” she said. “But everything is coming toget
her really well. We could open this place up pretty soon.” “Is there anything I could help you with?” Logan asked. Serena narrowe
d her eyes at him.
“I‘ve got it under control,” Serena said, taking a step back from him. “If I need anything, you‘ll know.” Logan sighed. Impulsively, h
e reached out and grabbed her forearm. Serena hissed and pulled away from him. Logan closed his eyes and sighed. “I want to
help,” he told her, opening his eyes to look
at her again. “You asked me to work on this project for a reason” Serena pointed out. “Either you trust me to handle it, or you don
‘t.” Logan winced.
“There you go with the ‘trust‘ thing again,” he hissed. A few of the nearby workers stopped what they were doing to watch. When
Logan glared at them, they all scurried away, leaving Logan and Serena to face off alone. “Well, it is kind of a reoccurring theme
with you, Logan,” Serena said. She tossed her clipboard onto a nearby desk and crossed her arms. “This has nothing to do with t
rust,” Logan groaned. “I want to see this center succeed, and I want to help if I can.
“You can‘t!” Serena snapped. Logan rolled his eyes. “Can you for a moment pretend that I‘m your Alpha and not your ex?” he ask
ed. Serena snorted. “Is that a threat?” she asked. Logan shook his head. “Not at all,” he said, softening his tone. “Then I stand by
what I said,” Serena insisted. “I will let you know if I need your help with anything.” Logan shook his head. “You can‘t freeze me
out, Serena,” he argued. “I am still your Alpha, and you are still a member of this pack.” Serena narrowed her eyes at him. “I don‘
t have to be,” she threatened. Logan growled. He grabbed Serena‘s upper arms, giving her a little shake.
“Do not make a threat like that,” he hissed through gritted teeth. “If you ever threaten to take my kids away from the
ouldn‘t apologize, he knew that, but it was clear her threat was an impulsive statement “I won‘t,” Serena said. She stepped away
from Logan, picking up her clipboard again. “I‘ve got to get back to work.” Logan nodded. Serena disappeared into the area that
was going to be the Women‘s Center office. Logan
stared after her for a long moment. He sighed finally, heading out of the center. Arguing with Serena hadn‘t gotten any less aggra
vating. He had asked for her help because he knew she had the right expertise, but he had also asked because he wanted a proj
ect they could both be involved with. She was trying to
avoid him, though. She was doing everything she could to make it clear that there was nothing between them to save anymore. L
ogan growled to himself as he left.
“Logan!” Serena called after him. Logan spun around, a glimmer of hope in his chest. “What is it?” he asked taking a few steps b
ack towards her. “Can you pick
the kids up from daycare?” she asked. “I‘m going to be here late. I can come pick them up at your place later.” Logan nodded. “I‘ll
take care of it,” he said with a nod. “I‘ll make sure they get dinner.” “Thanks!” Serena shouted before ducking back
into the center. Logan shook his head. At least he was going to have some time with the twins that evening. Spending time with t
hem would definitely turn his mood around.
“Are you and mommy going to live together again?” Olivia asked while Logan walked the twins back to his house.
“I don‘t know,” Logan admitted.
“We miss you,” Oliver said. Logan smiled and ruffled Oliver‘s hair. “I miss you guys too,” he said. “But we still get to spend a lot of
time together. Your mom wants me to make you two dinner tonight. And you‘ll get to see your
grandmother.”
“Grandma Flo?” Olivia asked.
“Yes, of course,” Logan said with a nod. When they got to the house, the kids broke away from Logan, excited to run in and see th
grandmother. Logan chuckled when he entered the front door and found his mother hugging both the kids.
“The two of you have been gone too long,” she said kissing them each and then blowing raspberries at them. Logan laughed agai
The twins ran up the stairs to the bedroom they used to stay in when Serena‘s house was being rebuilt. It had more or less been t
them. “Logan, you look tired,” Flo commented. The Alpha nodded.
“I had a spat with Serena today,” he admitted. His mother gave him a knowing, sympathetic
look. She rubbed his arm comfortingly. “She‘ll come around,” Flo said.
“How can you be sure?” Logan asked. “Because I need
more time with my grandbabies,” she said with a smile. Logan scoffed and rolled his eyes. That wasn‘t the type of comfort he was
