Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 33

Olivia

“Yeah,” I replied to Josh, smiling at the suggestion before returning my phone to my backpack. 

“Is that Josh?” my mom asked from the passenger seat.

“Yeah, I think he is trying to make me forget about all this by taking me along with him to see Gwen.” 

“That’s so thoughtful of him. How I wished he was your mate. He is such a sweet boy… just like me.” My dad said as he chuckled.

“C’mon, Dad. Eww… Josh and I… no way, we're like siblings” I said. 

“Mom, I didn’t hear anything about the rogues that attacked us earlier. Did they finish the investigation already?” I asked.

“Oh, about that, the Beta already addressed that before you arrived from school. They said that the rogues might have been trying to harm the princes and that they will investigate further.” 

“Ohhh,” I said, biting my lip at the thought of the triplets being hurt. Thinking of the rogue attack made me remember my suspicions and I hesitated before speaking.

“About the attack, I think Helen might know something about that. She acted really suspicious when we were attacked, Mom and she didn't want to investigate.” I added.

“Not again, Liv.” My dad barked. I jumped as I had rarely ever heard my dad address me with that tone before.

“You got punished and was flogged because of that girl and now you are still talking about her being suspicious. I don’t want you to have anything to do with her anymore. Do you have any idea what your mother and I went through seeing you get punished? I don't want you to say her name, talk about her or even think about her. Understood?” He added.

“Alright, Dad,” I replied reluctantly.

Just then we arrived at our house. Josh was standing at the front door and he ran over to me. He looked at me and rubbed his eyes before grabbing my arm and placing his arm around his neck to support me. Mom also grabbed my hand to support me.

“I’m fine. I can walk.” I said as I tried to release myself from their hold.

“You are not.” My mom snapped at me.

"Moooom," I whined.

“Okay, at least allow Josh to support you if you don’t want the both of us to do it.” She added.

I finally gave up and allowed Josh to help me. We all went in. My mom quickly went into her room to get some ointment while my dad started to massage my leg. Josh looked worried, sighing like an old man.

“I’m fine, Josh. We're wolves, remember? I'll be completely healed soon.” I said.

“You are not fine, Liv. Of course, you are a werewolf, but we can also feel pain too. Helen is such a bitch. She is cruel and mean and as for the triplets, they are just stupid. I mean, how can they be so blind? Do they choose to be or are we just gonna have people who can't even see past a female's obvious lies as our Alphas in the future.” He rambled angrily.

"Josh! Watch it, they're still the Princes you know."

“Josh's right, Olivia. I have never been so ashamed of the pack nor have I hated my lack of power as I did today. How can they do this to their mate?” My dad added.

I smiled at them, “I’m good, Dad. You shouldn't be like that. I promise you I'm fine, okay?” I said.

He grunted and looked away, blinking rapidly. 

My heart squeezed and even though I had been insisting that I was fine, I was distraught and angry at the entire pack for the way weaker wolves like Josh, my parents and I were treated.

“Josh, when are we visiting Gwen? I've got nothing but free time, I won’t be going back to the palace and I won’t be attending school for a couple of days either.”

“Really?” Josh asked happily.

“Yep.”

“If that’s the case, I won’t go to school either. We should use this opportunity to forget what happened and also enjoy ourselves.”

“I understand why Olivia won’t be going to school, but Josh you have to give me a solid reason why you won’t be going to school.” My dad asked with a stern voice but smiling.

“ I have to take care of Olivia,” Josh said, smiling sheepishly.

My dad and I were still laughing when my mom returned to the sitting room. 

“What’s funny?” She asked as she walked in.

I told her what happened.

“Why won’t you go to school? I know you are hurt, I can still accept that you stay at home for a few days and you can also go with Josh to visit Gwen, but you have to return to school when you are okay. The school won’t give you the whole year to recuperate.” My mom said as she dropped the ointment on the table.

“Mom, the whole school knows about what happened and I'm sure they know by now how I was punished. I don't want to go, I'll only get insulted and made fun of.” I whispered sadly.

“You have to show them how strong you are, my darling. You are better than them. You shouldn’t give up because of those brats.” She said with her hands on her hips, but I saw the worried expression on her face.

“Okay, mom. I will only spend a few days at home and return back to school next week.” I said.

“That’s my girl.” 

“Josh, it’s getting late already. Are you having dinner with us? If not, you should probably be on your way home so that your parents don't get worried.” My dad said.
