Chapter 119: Inauguration
The last of the hospital renovations had finally been finalized. To celebrate the new facility being completed and up and running to full capacity, Logan had planned an inauguration celebration to honor Adriana and Serena for the great accomplishments. He had postponed the inauguration celebration for when all the wolves from the Moonshine battle had recovered and been relocated.
All of Night Sky had come to the inauguration. Logan watched as Serena received praise and acceptance from the pack members. She was so eloquent and professional Logan felt silly for never seeing her true worth before. He’d always respected her and seen her as a strong woman, but now he saw her as something more. She was the mother of his children, she was the doctor who had saved his life and countless other lives. It was impossible for him to see her as anything but strong and amazing.
Now that he saw her being adored and complimented by all the pack members, it was obvious how great of a Luna she would be. The hospital lobby had been decked out for the celebration. That was where the drinks and refreshments were. Logan was standing close enough to Serena to hear all the thanks and praise she was getting. Almost everyone in the pack now knew someone or had a loved one that Serena had helped or saved. “I thought this was a party for the hospital” Adriana said, coming up beside Logan.
“Isn’t it?” he asked. Adriana laughed. “Everyone seems more interested in her,” the head doctor said. “I’m sorry, Adriana, you deserve the same praise and adoration. You managed half the work,” Logan said. Adriana chuckled and waved off his concerns. “That’s not what I meant,” she said. “Serena deserves this. I may be the head doctor, but she was the star out in the campaign hospital. She saved you, our Alpha, going above and beyond what even I would have done. No offense.” Logan chuckled.

the crowd. Logan backed Serena into the corner, holding both her hands in his. “What are you doing?” she asked, her cheeks becoming red as she smiled at him. “Taking a moment,” he said. “For us.” “You’re kind of sweet,” she said. Logan gave a one shouldered shrug. “Honestly, I wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done,” he admitted. “I mean, for the hospital, for the pack, for me.” “I do what I have to in order to save lives,” Serena muttered, looking down. Logan squeezed her hands. “No, you don’t,” Logan said. “You always go above and beyond, and I am here because of that. This hospital is functioning like never before because of you. Moonshine suffered minimal casualties because of you, and that has helped us establish peaceful relations.” “That is just who I am,” Serena said. “It is, and I am sorry that I didn’t fully appreciate it before. I should have been more grateful to you and your tenacity,” he said. Serena blushed harder. “Stop
to inaugurate,” she teased, whispering close to his
Logan sighed and shook his head, watching her walk back into the crowd of guests. She was teasing him now, and he was enjoying every moment of it. Though, if she kept it up, he’d be looking to move things along faster. When the time came, Logan
the art medical facility for the health, wellness, and benefit of the entire pack,” Logan said, waving his arm around the lobby. The other pack members clapped politely. “I’d like our head of medicine, Adriana, to say a few words about the reopening of the hospital,” he said. He stepped aside and motioned for Adriana to
