Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 54: A Mother’s Love

Charlotte showed up at the house bright and early the next day. A single phone call the day before, where Serena had expressed wanting to talk to her mom, and the Luna promptly appeared with donuts for the kids! “Morning, morning everyone,” Charlotte sang as she came into the house. “Grammy!” Olivia said. “I’ve got donuts for you,” Charlotte said, setting the box of the warm pastries on the table. Olivia and Oliver each grabbed one out of the box and started eating. “I’ve got coffee,” Serena said, handing her mother a mug. She grabbed a donut for herself before they vanished in the kids’ mouths, and poured herself some coffee too. *Wonderful” Charlotte said, taking a seat at the table. “I was worried about you, dear. That call was…uncharacteristic.” Serena eyed the kids. “We’ll talk after Dana takes them to daycare,” Serena said. Charlotte winked at her daughter and nodded. Olivia and Oliver had their mouths smeared with powdered sugar. Serena wiped them off just as Dana arrived to take them to daycare. “Oh, it looks like you had a special treat for breakfast,” she said. “Want a donut?” Serena asked. “There are plenty.”

I didn’t want to make any accusations or completely change another wolf’s life without the right proof to back it up.” “That’s understandable,” Charlotte said, sipping her coffee. “You’re going to tell him now, though, aren’t you?” Serena shrugged. “I honestly don’t know,” she admitted. “It

confirmation, but then I started wonder, and things started to make sense in ways I wasn’t expecting.” “You might not believe it, darling, but I do understand,” Charlotte said. “It isn’t always easy to be honest.” “So much time has passed,” Serena said. “I just can’t bring myself to uproot someone so unsuspectingly.” “Can I ask who the father is?” Charlotte asked. Serena shook her head. “I mean, you can, but I’m not going to tell you,” Serena said. “Why not?” Charlotte asked. “I want to tell him first, before anyone else,” Serena said. “It would be awful if I told other people first, and then somehow he found out through someone else.” “You think I’d tell anyone?” Charlotte asked, raising an eyebrow.

is more complicated than just changing the life of someone I barely know,” she said, “Not just because I don’t know if he’ll remember me, but because he does have a personal life. His girlfriend, possible future mate, is pregnant.” Charlotte let out a whistle and shook her head. “I’m sorry,” she said. “That does complicate things.”. “And this female…she isn’t one that I want to be in competition with.
