FreeNovelChapter 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.
“None taken,” he said. “I wouldn’t expect anyone to do something like that for me, even her.”
“That’s what makes her so special,” Adriana said. “Things have changed between the two of you. Don’t take her for granted.” “I
won’t” Logan promised. Adriana smiled and headed off into the crowd. Logan slowly made his way over to
Serena. As much as he appreciated her, he knew she‘d probably want a break from all the adoration.
“Excuse me, all, I need to steal the guest of honor,” Logan said. He took Serena’s hand and pulled her away from her fans.
ending line of praise,” she said with a laugh. Logan looked over his shoulder at her and smirked. “I had a feeling you needed a
break,” he said. He led Serena into a corner where they could speak privately for a moment. Where both of them could escape
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 it,” she said. “I can’t take so much praise at once.”
“You won’t let it go to your head, I know that,” Logan said. Serena giggled. “I should get back out there,” she said. “I don’t really
want to let you go,” Logan said, pouting slightly. Serena sighed. She stepped closer to Logan, pressing her body against his.
Logan smirked, slipping his arms around her waist. “Logan,” she said softly. IV. albanolead ruhhina har honk nantly with one of

“I have a hospital to inaugurate,” she teased, whispering close to his ear.
Serena stepped away from him, slipping out of his arms. 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 gathered the pack together and he addressed them all at once.
“It is with great honor and pride that I officially present the completely renovated, state of 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 come forward. Adriana glared at him, and Logan winked at her. He took a stance beside Serena and
watched the head doctor.
“Welcome, Night Sky, to a new age in medical care,” Adriana said. “Not only have we renovated each room for the comfort of our
pack members and updated the facilities for the best possible care and recovery, but we have updated all the equipment to
There was more polite clapping. “Did you want to get up there and say something?” Logan asked Serena. She quickly shook her
head. “Oh, no,” she said. “I’ve had enough eyes on me tonight.” “Alright,” he said. “I think you should say something, though. I
mean, this is mostly because of you.” “Logan, I don’t need to say anything.” Serena insisted. “I don’t even need them to know
most of this was because of me.” “You really don’t want the recognition?” he asked, amazed and awed by her humility. “I’ve
gotten enough, thanks,” she mumbled. “Serena, you care about the pack. You have done so much for everyone here,” Logan
reminded her “And they know it” Serena said. “I don’t need to remind them.” “Very well” Logan said. He’s hoped she would step
up and take on the responsibility to see how she would fare in a leadership role. If their relationship went where he wanted it to
go, she would become Luna. She’d have to take the stand sometimes. “I know what you’re doing,” she said under her breath as
Adriana finished her address
and everyone went back to mingling and enjoying their snacks and refreshments. “And what is that?” Logan asked, grabbing
finger sandwiches off a nearby platter. He handed one to Serena. She took the sandwich and nibbled on it lightly. “You want to
know how I would handle being Luna,” she said. Logan shrugged but nodded.
“It is a legitimate curiosity,” he said. “I know,” Serena said. “All you really have to know is I will go above any beyond for the
whole pack and that I am descended from a line of Alphas and Lunas. You know ! could be a good Luna. I should have to prove
that at this point.” Logan smirked at her, eating his finger sandwich in one bite. “You’re right, I don’t need to know more,” he said.
Serena rolled her eyes. She was soon distracted again by more pack members seeking her out directly. Logan stepped away,
letting her have the spotlight again. “This seems like a nice way to wrap up the conflict with Moonshine and usher in a new era,”
Carson said, walking up beside Logan. “A new beginning with the hospital, a new beginning for the pack,” Logan said. “And a
new beginning for you and Serena, I see,” Carson said with a chuckle. “Yea, that was unexpected but welcome,” Logan said.
“That’s alright with you, isn’t it?” Carson laughed and clapped Logan on the shoulder. “Serena and I were only ever friends,” he
said. “Maybe I wanted more, but I can see now that she was preoccupied with someone else.” Logan looked at his Beta,
concerned that it would cause a rift between them. “I’m fine with it, Logan,” Carson assured. “You deserve to be happy and so
does she. Let’s leave it at that, okay?” “Fair enough,” Logan said. “We are mates.” “Really?” Carson asked. “That actually
explains a lot.” “Yea, it does,” Logan admitted. “We are just seeing where things go for now, but I have a good feeling about it.”
“Then I do too,” Carson said. “You know you have to take her somewhere special for a first date.” “Oh, I know,” Logan agreed.
“I’ve got just the place. Reservations have been made.” Carson smirked at him. “Good,” he said. “Treat her right.” Logan nodded
and waved as Carson walked off.
