Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 29

Olivia 

“Yes!” Everyone chorused as Helen pretended to protest against it.

"There's no need for that please, Olivia and I will work it out!" She yelled against the sound of everyone cheering.

I looked around, oddly hurt by the way they all seemed to relish in the thought of me having to face the Alpha over what had just happened. I wasn't innocent of slapping her, and even though it was not unprovoked, there was nothing I could do to prove it. 

“Now, everyone should go and change, pack your belongings and head back to the bus. We are going back to school.” Mr Scott said.

There were several groans and thanks a lot, Olivia that came after that, but I was too focused on calming myself that I ignored them all.

“As for Olivia and Helen, after dropping the rest of the students at the school, we'll head directly to the Alpha's palace. You can call your parents so they can meet us there.” He added.

Everyone ran to get changed and in the next few minutes, we were on the bus. I sat with Josh and I could see Helen getting all the attention from Lucas and Lucien with Logan sitting quietly, glancing at me occasionally.

Most of the ride back home was quiet and uneventful, excluding the girls seated in front of Josh and me. They kept discussing what had happened and blaming me, loud enough for not just me, but for everyone else to hear. I tried to ignore it, but when they talked about me lying that Helen had insulted my parents, I became furious. As I was about to stand up to defend myself, Josh pushed me back down to my seat.

“Are you crazy, Olivia? Do you want to complicate this matter further?” He said angrily.

“Josh, this is too much. Helen was the one to blame and not me.” I said, trying to hold back the tears that were now welling up.

“I know you are innocent but there’s nothing to do about it now except the moon goddess intervenes.” He said as I rested my head on his shoulder, the tears now silently flowing.

“The moon goddess hates me,” I said as I sobbed.

“Don’t say that, Liv.”

Just then I remembered Mr Scott's words to tell my parents to come to the palace.

“Josh, how am I gonna tell my parents what happened? I don’t want them to be ridiculed just because of my actions.” 

“I already called them when I went to get changed. They should be on their way to the palace by now.” Josh said.

“They are going to be so worried, I hate that I dragged them into this," I said sadly as I searched the front pocket of my pants for my phone.

“All will be fine, Liv,” Josh said.

“I hope so," I said as I fished my and unlocked my phone to see my missed calls from my parents. I guessed all that had happened didn’t allow me to know that my phone was ringing. Just then a message popped up, it was my dad.

“Josh told us what happened, are you okay? Don't worry about anything, sweetie. Everything will be fine.” 

I sniffed as seeing my dad's message brought a fresh round of tears to my eyes. Just then, we heard a commotion from the part of the bus where the triplets were seated with Helen.

“Can you hear yourself? You are out of your mind, Logan.” Lucas yelled out.
