Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 41: Carson and Serena

Carson wasn’t badly injured after the most recent Moonshine attack, but Serena had patched him up when he’d come into the hospital and supplied him with fluids. Since then, he had stopped by every day to see her while the hospital renovations had been in progress.

Always with an excuse, like checking in for the Alpha, but Serena was starting to suspect there was more to his visits. “I see you go the new hospital beds installed,” Carson said when Serena entered an unoccupied room to restock medical supplies. Starting, she whipped around to see Carson sitting on the new bed, bouncing up and down to test the mattress. Serena sighed and smiled at him.

nodded. “The Alpha has me making daily reports on my progress. I send them directly to his office after each one of my shifts. He wouldn’t need you to come in an check on my progress.” Carson pursed his lips. “Alright, you caught me,” he said jokingly. “I just like the hospital. Something about new medical

Serena sighed. “Well, I walked right into that one, didn’t l?” she asked. Carson laughed. “If you don’t want to, I’ll understand,” he said. Serena shook her head. She thought about it for a moment. The only other male she’d had a chance to really talk to since she’d come to the pack, other than Logan, had spurned her the moment he found out that she had kids. Carson was charming, funny, and nice.

Serena nodded and left the room. As she was walking to the next room she had to check on, her steps faltered. She’d just agreed to going to Beta Carson’s house for dinner! The idea was so strange to her. She hadn’t gone on a date with anyone since the twins were born. Now, the Beta was asking

When she got them back to Logan’s, she made a quick snack for them and then called Carson. “Hey, I’m sorry to have a last-minute change, but the sitter is sick,” she said. “There’s no one to watch the kids. Luna Flo is overseeing more renovation plans at the hospital.” “Oh, that’s really too bad,” Carson said. “But, if that is the only thing stopping you, just bring them along to my house. I’m sure we can keep them entertained.” Serena hesitated. She had actually been disappointed when she learned Dana was sick and the kids had no sitter. Another part of her had been relieved though, and she was glad for the excuse not to go. Now, Carson was removing her excuses. He wasn’t going to make it easy for her. She appreciated that as much as it made her uncomfortable. “Alright,” she said slowly. “If you’re sure you’re okay with two rambunctious twins in your house..” she trailed off. Carson laughed. “According to Logan, they are great kids,” he said. Serena rolled her eyes even though Carson couldn’t see her. The Alpha would say that! “They are,” she assured. “Give me a bit to get them ready and make myself presentable. Oh, they’re a little picky about food, so I can just make something.” “That sounds lovely.” Carson said. Serena hung up. She showered while the kids ate their snack. She dressed herself
