Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 14. Logan

Olivia

The bell rang.

Just as I stood up from my seat to head back to class, Helen appeared in front of me fuming.

“Don’t we need to have a serious discussion, Olivia?” She said as she stepped closer menacingly with her fists clenched.

“I don’t think so. And if it was about what happened yesterday, I don’t owe you any explanation.” I said.

Josh came over to me and we left Helen behind. I could feel her glare burning lasers into me as we walked away.

We got back to our class and went back to our seats. Then I heard the students murmuring.

“The clothes Olivia is wearing, do you think they're fake?” One of them asked the other.

“You bet they're fake. She can’t just afford those clothes. It’s a limited edition. I asked my dad to get me one but it was sold out. That leather jacket alone is worth thousands of dollars and has been sold out since forever.” Tina said mockingly.

I ignored them and went through my bag. I brought out a piece of paper which contained the information I had gathered the previous night on our group project and then I strode off to where the triplets were seated, surrounded as usual by admirers. I handed the paper to Lucas without saying a word and went back to my seat.

A minute later, Helen came into the class. She approached the triplets with a smile and sat beside them. A glare from her had the gaggle of girls surrounding the boys scampering off back to their seats.

“You guys slept off yesterday, I had to go back home without saying goodbye.” She said loudly.

I knew she did that for me to hear as she kept glancing back at me over her shoulder. Her eyes narrow as I roll mine at her.

“We are sorry, Helen. We were so drunk yesterday. I can't even remember falling asleep, I woke up this morning with the worst hangover” Logan said.

“It's okay. It's just that… you guys seem to be avoiding me, especially Lucien and Lucas. I mean you all went to the cafeteria without me. .” She added.

“I’m sorry, I made a mistake by kissing you yesterday, Helen. I heard your father came to the palace yesterday. I meant no disrespect, truly.” Lucien said.

“I’m sorry too,” Lucas added.

The whole class fell silent when they heard this.

“Helen kissed the triplets,” Tina shouted suddenly. “Oh… is something going on?” She added teasingly.

The class burst into titters.

“Come on, Tina. It was a drunken mistake.” Helen retorted innocently.

I knew she was enjoying the attention, and I couldn't control the emotion on my face when she glanced back to see my reaction. I was shocked and my mouth was hanging open. She gave me a triumphant smirk and turned back to the girls that were now surrounding demanding details.

So Lucas and Lucien thought they had kissed Helen. She is not even denying it. What a shameless bitch, I can't believe her!

I groaned inwardly and rested my head on my desk.

The class commenced when the teacher came in and everybody went back to their seats. As usual, ever since the mating convention, I couldn't focus on a single word. My mind and eyes kept drifting to the triplets and Helen.

Soon, the final bell rang and it was time to go home. Josh and I exited the school's main building and headed towards the school gate.

Suddenly we heard a honk. The black sports car I had ridden to school that morning stopped beside me and Lucien rolled down the window, asking me to join them.

“Don’t worry about me, I need to go home to see my parents before heading to the palace,” I said firmly.

“Okay. Suit yourself” He shrugged and turned to Lucas who drove off immediately.

“You could have saved yourself the stress of walking, you know?” Josh said.

“It’s better this way, Josh. I need to stay away from them to stop myself from having false hope. I mean how could both of them think that the person they kissed yesterday was Helen?” I said angrily. "I should have known they were just messing with me. It's either that or they are more dumb than I thought."

Josh bumped me with his hip, "Ooh sassy."

I smiled reluctantly and we continued walking home.

Josh went home after walking me home and I headed in.

“I’m home,” I shouted as I dropped my bag and took off my coat, hanging them both on the coat hanger.

I ran to hug my parents who were seated on the couch in each other's arms. Mum was reading a book, while my dad was engrossed in a football game.

“Welcome home, my dear. I missed you all night. Why will they ask you to fill in for someone else?” My mom said as she fussed over me, turning my head left and right.

I grinned, "I'm fine, mom. Stop fussing."

"Stop squeezing the poor girl's face, Lila," My dad said, too focused on the TV to see the glare my mom leveled at him.

Oh, I've missed you guys.

“Well, I hope you are not going back to the palace today?” She added.

“I need to go back, Mom. I might not come back home today as well. The ill lady is yet to resume back to work.” I said.

“I miss you, hon.” My dad cuts in, having now turned off the television.

I smiled at them and gave them another hug.

“I came to pack some clothes to wear to school tomorrow, don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Miss B and Alpha Damon treat me better and the triplets are coming around as well.” I said.

“Are you sure?” My dad asked, his brows furrowed.

“Yes, Dad.” I said as I ran to my room.

I packed some of my clothes and shoes and went downstairs to bid my parents goodbye.

“I need to go.” I said as I approached them.

“At least, wait and have some food before you head back to the palace.” My mom said.

“It’s fine, mom. I will eat in the palace.”

I hugged them both before heading out. My dad insisted on walking with me until the palace was in sight before going back home.

I got to the palace's gate and sighed.

I warned myself to not interact with the triplets beyond necessary but to focus on my work instead. I went straight to my room to get changed and then to the kitchen to start working.

Miss B walked in and I greeted her.

“Thank you for helping me out earlier today, Miss B.”

“It’s nothing, Olivia. I only did as I was told. Sadie is not back yet, so you will be filling in for her today again. But I want you to know that you will have your break and get days off when she is back as well.” She replied.

“Okay, Miss B.” I replied and went back to work.

It had been over two hours since I got to the palace, and yet there was no call from the princes. I felt relieved and at the same time I was anxious.

I moved closer to Miss B and asked her about them.

“Prince Lucas and Lucien went to the training ground. It’s Tuesday and they always have their training today. Prince Logan was supposed to go as well but he said he was feeling a bit down.” She said. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

I replied with a nod and returned to my duty.

Just then, Logan called.

“Olivia, Prince Logan needs you to come to his room now.” Miss B said while putting down the phone.

I went to his room and knocked severely but there was no response. As I entered the room, I was greeted by a sight that made me pause. Logan was lying on the bed, covered in blankets, looking thoroughly miserable.

Logan groaned and shifted uncomfortably in his bed. "Olivia, is that you?" he mumbled, his voice hoarse.

"Yeah, it's me," I replied, walking closer to him. "How are you feeling?"

He winced and rubbed his temples. "Like I've been run over by a truck. And my throat hurts."

I felt a pang of sympathy for him. "I'll get you some water and medicine," I said, heading towards the bathroom.

As I returned with a glass of water and some pain relievers, Logan struggled to sit up, taking the medicine and water I offered him.

"Thanks, Olivia," he said, his voice slightly stronger.

I laid him back down on the bed and covered him with a blanket. As I stood up to leave, he grabbed my hand and mumbled silently, “Stay with me, Olivia.”

Not again.
