Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 27

Olivia

"What?" I asked stupidly and shot Josh a glare as he snorted.

“You heard me the first time,” Logan said smiling.

No no no. Don't smile. I can't handle it when you smile, I end up doing or saying something stupid.

Just then Josh nudged me with his elbows and bailed on me.

“Enjoy yourself, Olive,” He said as he jogged away.

Traitor

I glared at his retreating back and shot him a middle finger. Logan smiled at my expression and moved closer to me. 

“Shall we?” He said as he extended his hand. 

I felt awkward but I couldn’t keep him waiting. I grabbed his hand and he led me to the beach. As we walked hand in hand, I felt like a giant spotlight was shining down on me with a loud MC announcing to everyone, Look guys! They're holding hands!

We eventually got to the water and we waded in. Logan immediately ducked his head underwater and shot back out causing the girls nearby to squeal and giggle. He shot me a cocky grin and started swimming around me. I wasn’t sure of what he had in mind so I just remained still like an idiot. The glare from other girls, especially Helen, made me more uncomfortable. 

“You should enjoy yourself, Olive, and also be free with me," Logan said as he swam to a stop in front of me. He grabbed my hands and drew me deeper into the water. I smiled at him, ignoring the glares I could feel burning lasers to my ski.

I splashed in the water trying to remain afloat and he could see how clumsy I was when I was swimming.

“Is this your first time swimming?” He asked, quickly grabbing onto my waist.

“Was it that obvious?” I replied, out of breath.

From the disastrous attempt to swim or from his hands around your waist.

Oh shut up, I told that inner voice.

He chuckled and helped me remain afloat, teaching me how to on my own. He taught me the basics of swimming and I quickly understood them. We spent like ten minutes horsing around in the water before I began to feel tired and told him I needed to be out of the water. He told me to go ahead as he wanted to swim more. I stepped out of the ocean and sat on the shore. I played with the sand and watched Logan as he explored the ocean. He was smiling happily and also waving at me.

“Did you enjoy yourself, Liv?” I suddenly heard and jerked, as I turned to see Lucas approach me. I placed a hand on my chest and tried not to glare at him for scaring me.

“I only swam with Logan, nothing happened,” I said worriedly as the encounter I had with Logan at the palace and what came after flooded my mind.

“I know,” He said as he glared at me. “I only came to warn you to stop attacking Helen.” He added.

My jaw dropped at this statement.

Helen was the one attacking me and yet none of them failed to see beyond that act she's always hiding behind. How exactly do they fall for her pretense? Is there something more to it or are they just too dumb to see it?

“I wasn’t attacking Helen. I was only stating the facts, Lucas.”

“What fact? Always get your facts right before spewing out nonsense,” He said angrily.

“I protected you from that man because he was clearly being sleazy towards you and what? Everyone noticed the way he was staring at you and yet, you are suspicious of Helen,” He added.

I turned away from him and my gaze fell on Helen who was now playing in the water and swimming happily with Lucien. I turned back to Lucas, “I don’t need you to protect me, I can protect myself. I’m also a werewolf.” 

He scoffed loudly and gave me a scathing glare, “Fine, I won’t protect you anymore.” He said as he walked away.

I looked at him and I felt the mate bond again. My heart started burning and then I saw Logan running towards me. He came closer and asked what was wrong.

I took a deep breath and after calming myself down, “I’m fine.” I replied to him.
