Chapter 75 Fallout

• Logan woke up to his phone ringing. He had gone home and just went back to resting. Being out of the hospital was a relief, but he still wasn’t up to his full strength. Most of the exterior wounds had healed, and he was able to breathe, talk, and stand, but he was still feeling a little sore and weak from the attack. Feeling around on his bed, he couldn’t find the phone and it kept vibrating more and more viciously. Groaning, he finally opened his eyes and threw pillows off the bed until he found the device.
• He wanted to be angry at whoever was calling him so early, but his screen showed him that it was Serena calling. Sighing, he’mastered his frustration. He didn’t want her to be even more wary of him and his temper! “Hello,” he said into the phone. “Logan did I wake you?” she asked, her voice concerned. Logan sighed. “Yes, but I should be getting up anyway,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of work to catch up on.”
• “I’m sure Carson handled it while you were in the hospital,” she said. Logan swallowed the instinctive growl that rose in his throat. He still didn’t like that she spoke of Carson so familiarly. “Yes, he knows what to do.” Logan forced the words out. “I know it is early,” Serena went on. “I wanted to let you know that the kids and I are leaving for a while.” “Leaving?” Logan asked, sitting up the rest of the way. He pushed his covers back and got up, finding a t-shirt to throw on. “Sorry, that sounded final.” Serena said with a chuckle. “Olivia, Oliver, and I are going back to Starseeker for a while. We haven’t spent much time with my family, and I think it would be good for all of us.” The way she said ‘all of us,’ Logan knew that she was referring to her too. He nodded, even though she couldn’t see him. She was probably right. He had to focus on the pack and Moonshine. He also had to focus on mending bridges with Holly and preparing for the baby. “I think that is a good idea,” he said slowly. The words almost stuck in his throat. He really didn’t want her to go!
