Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 18

Olivia 

When we got back to the class, I was surprised to see Helen seated without the triplets. Where could they be? The class was nearly empty, and I guessed everyone else had headed off to the cafeteria for lunch. I went back to my seat and sighed as Helen approached me with a devilish smile plastered on her face. 

“Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk to the triplets in such a manner?” She asked as she slammed a palm on my table. 

“How the hell do you think I should talk to them, Miss Lover Girl?” I looked up and replied angrily.

“Really? You're finally showing your claws, aren't you? Well too bad, the triplets have ordered that you redo the entire presentation and bring it to school tomorrow.” She said smiling.

“No way! I’m not doing it all on my own. It's called a group project for a reason, which means that we are to share the workload.” I yelled out.

“I dare you to say that to the princes.” She crossed her arms and smirked in the face of my anger.

She returned back to her seat without waiting for my reply. Just then, the bell rang and the class resumed.

The day went by and it was time to go back home. I was so happy because I won’t be going to the palace for a few days. Miss B gave me some days off to clear my mind.

Josh came over to my seat and we both went out to head out. 

“Can you walk me to the palace to get my stuff?” I asked him as we got out of the school gate.

“Why? Are you going home today?” He asked.

I explained to him that I had a few days off and he was happy. He agreed to follow me and we both walked towards the palace happily.

“Why don’t you give in and do the presentation yourself? I mean that will save you from unnecessary arguments with the princes. And I’m here to help you.” He said as we walked.

I tried to retort but he shut me up with a glare.

“I only want you to spend your free days happily, Liv.” He added.

I nodded in agreement. We got to the palace gate, I asked Josh to come in but he insisted on waiting outside the gate.

I gave up and went in myself. I saw the triplets' car parked in the driveway which meant they were also back from school. As I walked into the palace, I noticed that it was unusually quiet, and the atmosphere felt somewhat tense. It was as if a storm was brewing beneath the calm facade.

I made my way to my small room and found that my bags were already packed and neatly placed by the door. It seemed someone had taken the initiative to organize my belongings, which was a surprise. I quickly checked to ensure nothing was missing or damaged.

Just then, Logan appeared in the doorway, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. His expression was unreadable, and I didn't know what to expect.

"Logan," I stammered, unsure of how to address him.

He didn't respond immediately, instead studying me with his intense blue eyes. Finally, he spoke, his voice calm but tinged with tension. "I thought you might need your things since you have some days off."

I nodded in acknowledgment, still feeling wary about the situation. "Thank you."

He stared at me for a few seconds before walking off abruptly leaving me going after him.

I shut my mouth and headed to the kitchen to let Miss B know that I was leaving.

I opened the kitchen door and saw Sadie humming loudly.

Oh… She is back.

I approached her and asked about her health.

“I’m fine, thanks, Olive.” She said smiling.
