Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 32

Olivia's POV

I heard a knock on my door, I frowned slightly because I thought it would be Logan. I moved to open the door, “What do you want Logan? I’m still getting dressed.” I said as I pulled the door open.

I was surprised to see a guard, he bowed slightly and I muttered something, surprised he was bowing to me, and then he informed me that the Alpha was finished talking to my parents and had asked to see me. I told him I would right out and closed the door, hurriedly taking off the rest of my clothes to get changed.

I changed quickly and headed out. The guard led me to what seemed to be the Alpha’s study. Alpha Damon instructed the guard to return to his post and asked me to sit down across from him. I felt a little bit scared as I didn’t know what he wanted to say to me or what he told my parents.

I bowed respectfully before taking my seat and then he looked at me worriedly. He seemed to be lost for words. There was a minute of silence and then I broke the silence by asking about my parents' whereabouts.

“They are waiting for you outside the palace.” He said.

“Are you okay? I know it hurts so I will instruct the palace doctor to send you some ointments.” He added.

“You don’t have to, your Majesty. Prince Logan helped me dress the wound already.” I said respectfully.

“Logan did that?” He asked, looking surprised.

Should I have said that?

I nodded and waited for him to say another word but it didn't come. He only looked at me and after some minutes he cleared his throat, “I'll inform the chief of staff that you won't be able to come to work for a few days. You should spend some time at home to get better. You can resume at the palace anytime, once you are fully healed and recovered.” He said.

“And I’m so sorry for how you were treated. I know you are not that kind of person. I wish I could say more, but I had to let you get punished for reasons you may not understand.” He added.

“I appreciate your kind gesture, your Majesty.” I said respectively, my heart pounding in my chest as I thought of the next words I was about to say, “But I don’t think I will be coming back to the palace. What happened earlier already shows that the princes don't want me. They already rejected me, and with all due respect, Your Majesty, I do not want to be around them anymore” I added.

He sighed heavily before leaning across the huge mahogany desk. “Your parents also said the same thing but didn’t you just say now that Logan attended to your wounds? That shows you are getting through to them, albeit slowly. I can assure you that my sons are worth you waiting for them. All I can ask is that you please do not give up on them.”

“I’m sure Lucas and Lucien will surely come around as well and for Helen, I think you girls just need some time to get to know each other very well. She is a sweet girl, and I'm sure it was all a misunderstanding. And the Beta might seem cruel, but he is just extremely strict and protective of his daughter.” He added.

With what Logan just told me, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to expose Helen's true colors. Even the Alpha had fallen for her act hook, line and sinker.

I cleared my throat, "If I may, Your Majesty, may I ask why you're doing all this?"

He smiled. "Because I can see what you and those hard-headed sons of mine can't see yet. And you may not know it yet, but having a mate is one of the greatest things a wolf can experience in their lifetime. So please, just keep trying."

“I will think about it, your Majesty,” I said bowing slightly.

“Good. Your parents also told me that they have to discuss it with you. And that the decision is yours only to make.”

“You shouldn’t keep them waiting, get going and make sure you take good care of yourself for me and my stubborn triplets.” He said smiling.

I chuckled at his last statement, I thanked him, bid him goodbye and bowed before leaving his room.
