Chapter 123: Serena and Carson Talk
Carson dropped by the hospital during one of Serenaâs shifts. She hadnât had the chance to talk to him
about her new relationship with Logan yet. At first, it had just been so new and different, then she wasnâ
t sure how to tell him without hurting his feelings.
It wasnât like she and Carson had been dating or in any kind of actual relationship. Serena knew he had
wanted more, though, and she hoped he wouldnât hold it against her.
âSerena, how are you doing?â Carson asked, walking right up to the nurseâs station Serena smiled at hi
m, setting her medical charts down. âIâm good,â she said, unable to hide her bright
smile. Sheâd been doing that a lot since Logan had started taking her on dates and spending family tim
e with the kids. âYou look really good,â Carson commented, grinning at her. Serena blushed and looked
down. âAre you here for a medical reason?â she asked. âActually, yes,â Carson admitted. He held up hi
s wrist. âI think I sprained it or
something.â âAlright, Iâm free now,â Serena said. âLetâs take a look.â Serena grabbed Carsonâs medical f
ile from the cabinet behind the nurseâs station. She motioned for Carson to follow her into one of the ex
am rooms. Serena patted the table so he would sit on it. âYou need me to sit on the table to look at my
wrist?â Carson asked playfully. Serena rolled her eyes. âI think it would be
more comfortable for you to sit,â she said. âBut if you want to stand, I wonât stop you.â Carson chuckled,
but he sat down on the exam table.
âWhat did you do?â Serena asked, opening his file to a fresh page. âJust wrangling some of the rogues,
â Carson said with a casual shrug. âHowâs that going?â she asked. âI didnât know you were so concerne
d with the inner pack workings,â Carson countered.
Serena bit her lower lip. She had been inquiring more about the pack politics and the way things worke
d in Night Sky because there was the potential for her to become Luna one day. She realized sheâd slip
ped with Carson. Shrugging, Serena thought fast for an answer.

Serena turned around quickly, cheeks flushed. She felt embarrassed, wondering if it was that obvious t
o everyone. âYea, actually,â she said. Carson grinned. âHe told me that the two of you wereâ¦
seeing each other,â Carson admitted. Serena sighed with relief. âOh, I didnât know,â she said. âI was just
thinking about how to
tell you.â She giggled nervously. Carson chuckled. âDonât worry about it, Serena. I know that you and L
ogan have had some kind of tension brewing since you got here,â he said. âHonestly, I only thought I ha
d
a shot because he was with someone else.â Serena bit her lower lip and looked away. âI had a really gr
eat time with you,â she said. âI donât
want you to think I didnât. I donât want you to think that I led you on or anything.â âWhat?â Carson asked.
He hopped off the table and put a hand on Serenaâs shoulder. âI would never think that. You were
always straight
with me. I didnât have any unrealistic expectations. Besides, I want you to be happy, and I want Logan t
o be happy.â âYouâre a good man, Carson,â Serena said. âSomeday, youâll make a lucky female incredib
ly happy.â Carson grinned at her, shaking his head. âYouâre sweet,â he told her. âIf Logan does anything
to take you for granted or upset you, let me know and I will take care of
it.â âThanks, Carson,â Serena said. âActually, I could use your help with something. I asked about the ro
gues because Iâve been wrestling with the fact that I could become Luna someday.â âWrestling?â Carso
n asked with a chuckle. Serena closed his medical folder and tucked it under her arm. âI want to get to
know the pack better,â she said. âBut I donât want Logan
to think that Iâm uncomfortable or that Iâm trying to
rush things.â âYou donât think heâd be happy to know that youâre considering what it means to be Luna?â
Carson asked. Serena shrugged. âI honestly donât know,â
she said. âWe agreed to take things slow, and I donât want him to
think Iâm making assumptions.â Carson chuckled again. He rolled his eyes at her. âSerena, Logan woul
d be over the moon to know youâre considering that future,â Carson said. âIf you want, I can help you ge
t to know the pack members and some of the inner workings.â

âI really would like that,â Serena said. âAlright, when is your next day off?â Carson asked. âTomorrow,â s
he said with a smile.
âMy timing is great, then,â he said. Serena nodded and gave him his discharge form.
Serena returned to the nurseâs station. She liked how easy Carson had made telling him the truth. She d
going guy.
It pained Serena to see him alone, because he was a really great guy! She felt bad about their relations
he wanted to help her and remain friendly. Serena didnât want to make waves or cause tension between
Alpha and Beta.
She knew sheâd have to tell Logan that she was spending some time with Carson, otherwise he might g

though! Serena called Logan on her way home from work. âHey you,â Logan said. âHey,
howâs your day going?â she asked. âWorking late, as usual,â Logan said with a grumble. Serena giggled
now,â she said with a laugh. Logan sighed into the phone. âAlright, hit me with it,â he said. âI have the da
offered to help me out with
something.â Serena said quickly. âWhy canât I help?â Logan asked. âBecause it is kind of something for y
