Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 38

Lucas

"Are you kidding me?" I growled as my call was declined.

I called her again, but I still couldn't reach her. I grunted and threw my phone on the couch watching as it bounced off the couch and ended up on the floor with a loud thwack!

There goes another phone.

I was so angry at the fact that I called Olivia and she wasn’t picking up my calls. I kept pacing up and down the room. Lucien was too focused on his phone. He seemed immersed but I couldn't be certain. Out of the three of us, it would be easy to deem Lucien the flighty one, but I knew there was so much more to him than we all see. Logan only laid on the couch staring at me blankly.

“What did you and Olive talk about the other day? Why is she not picking up my calls?” I said angrily as I approached Logan.

“You know where she is right?” I added.

Logan didn’t utter a word, instead, he rolled over on the couch and picked up the book that was lying next to him.

“I know you, Logan, better than you know yourself. So I know from the way you are acting that you know where Olivia might be. Tell me, where is she?

“Lucas, leave him alone. I’m sure he is also worried about her.” Lucien said.

“Who said anything about being worried about her? She's our maid and she took days off without informing us." I growled.

“Okay, fine. Just calm down. You already made two maids run out in tears. Growling and snapping at everyone won’t bring her back to the palace." Lucien replied.

“Then what should I do?”

“Why are you disturbing the girl with the calls? You said you are not worried about her, so leave her alone.” Logan said as he abruptly stood up from the couch.

“Don't talk to me like that. The girl needs to resume back to the palace.” I growled as I walked over to him and grabbed a hold of his shirt.

“Release me this instant, or else…” Logan said angrily.

“What? Do you want to beat me up? Because of her? I’m the strongest and the eldest, so let’s see what you got.” I said, pushing him backwards.

He lunged at me and Lucien quickly stood up to separate us. “You guys should stop this now!” He growled.

“You were there when the girl was punished and what? You want her to resume back to the palace. Put yourself in her shoes and see if it will fit in.” Logan yelled out as Lucien held him back.

“Are you blaming us for standing up for Helen? We did the right thing while Olivia was wrong.” I growled at him.

“The right thing indeed.” He scoffed.

“What if it was the other way around? What if Helen slapped Olivia and she came to us for help?” He added, fuming.

“Helen doesn’t have any reasons to slap Olivia,” Lucien said.

Logan glared at us both and returned to the couch angrily. He couldn’t focus on the book he was reading while Lucien sat quietly on the bed. He was not pressing his phone anymore. I stood still for a few seconds before moving closer to Logan to get his phone. I forcefully took the phone from him while Lucien tried to hold him as I checked through his phone. I only saw the messages they exchanged a few days ago.

There was nothing to check again. I went to his contact and then searched for Olivia's number. I knew she would pick up if Logan was the one calling but to my surprise she was on another call. This infuriates me further.

"I need to talk to Father," I said as I returned Logan's phone.

Just then, our door was opened, it was Helen. She saw the look on our faces and quickly ran over to me, placing a hand on my chest.

"What's wrong?" she asked softly.

"It's Olivia. She is not picking up our calls," Lucien said.

"Oh. She is the same reason why I came here. I wanted to invite her to my birthday so that I can apologize to her. I'm so sorry if I put you guys in a tight position. I know you had to punish your mate just because of me," She said, putting her hand down and looking downcast.

"Your birthday is coming up next week, right? I'm so sorry I forgot about it." I said.

"And also, you don't have to apologize to Olivia, she should be the one begging for your forgiveness," I added.

I turned to Logan who was only staring at me, "Do you still believe Olivia was right?"

"I don't know." He replied angrily before lying down on the couch and covering his face with his book.
