Logan headed out to the back deck. He saw Charlotte sitting in a lawn chair, the twins running around and playing. Serena appeared from behind a tree, pouncing on the ground in wolf form.
Her overpowering, mouthwatering scent hit him like a punch in the gut! Logan gave a soft grunt, but it was enough to catch Serena’s attention.
In her wolf form, she froze, staring at him. Logan stared back, wide eyed and too shocked to move or form a single word! He recognized her now!

He’d confided in her about so much, including his concerns about being a father, and she had said nothing! Logan’s hands clenched into fists at his side. “Logan, come
