Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 128: Independence

“Serena, you’ve always been the more independent of the two of us,” Santino told her. The kids were eating dinner with Dana, and Serena was enjoying an evening chat on the front porch with her brother. “I know that,” she teased. Santino rolled his eyes. “Look, all I’m saying is that facing the idea of becoming Luna is testing your independence,” Santino said. “Just think about it.” “Mom said something similar,” Serena admitted. She sighed. It was time that she really did think about why she had concerns over being Luna. She knew she should talk to Logan about it too, because he needed to know where her mind was at with it

“Now, it is pretty late,” Serena pointed out. “Dad and I have some things to work on starting early tomorrow, with the Moonshine transfers and everything,” Santino explained. He stretched his arms up into the air.

“Fine, fine,” Serena said. “Just say goodbye to the kids.” “Of course,” Santino laughed. He went back inside and said his farewells to the twins. Serena listened to them thanking him for their ‘survival school’ and excitedly telling him they couldn’t wait to go camping. When her brother reappeared on the porch, Serena stood up to give him a hug. “Whatever concerns you have about being Luna, just know that you’ll be great at it,” Santino said, “You were literally born for a leadership role like that. So, don’t let concerns about whether or not you’ll be good at it get in the way.” “I won’t.” Serena promised. Santino kissed her on the cheek and walked off his porch to the car. Serena watched him drive off and then went inside to take over the night routine for the kids.

I’m not really sure what to think about it.” “Again, I say that sounds ominous,” Logan said seriously.

this is going.” “You do?” Serena asked with a nervous giggle. “Serena, you are one of the few people I’ve ever met who truly understands the responsibility that an Alpha or Luna has to the pack, without actually being an Alpha or Luna,” Logan said. “I grew up around Alphas and Lunas,” she reminded Logan. “Then you have an upper hand,” he said. “I know you, though. You’re not worried about not being able to handle the job or be good enough for the pack. That is in your blood, and you

know how you feel,” Logan admitted. “I always knew I was going to be an Alpha, but I thought it would be years from when I actually took on the role. It wasn’t easy, and there were a lot of times when I thought it would be better for me and the pack if I just ran off and let someone else take over.” “That must have been really confusing, without anyone to turn to,” Serena admitted.
