Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 48

Olivia’s POV

I couldn’t believe my ears and my eyes as they told me that Lucien was into drugs.

How on earth did he get into drugs? Does his brothers know? Does his dad?

I looked at them again and saw that Lucien was grabbing Sadie’s neck. He was so angry that he punched the wall and then released his grip on her neck when she whimpered in fear.

I covered my hand with my mouth to prevent my gasp from escaping. I had always seen Lucien as the most unbothered of the three brothers. All I had ever seen was his harmless flirting and randy jokes, not this side of him.

The three brothers were similar in appearance and height, but couldn't be any different when it came to their personalities.  

“If you bring this up again, I will kill you, Sadie. I'm not kidding, if anyone finds out about this, I'll know it's you and I don't hurt women, but I'll make an exception for you if you ever do something like this again. And stay away from brothers as well.” Lucien said angrily.

Sadie moved back looking utterly frightened as she gasped and panted. Lucas stalked away and she remained there, holding onto her throat and staring after him with shock plastered across her face.

I quickly left where I was hiding and returned back to the kitchen. Sadie also came in a few minutes later with her puffy eyes. Miss B asked her what was wrong when she saw how she looked but she told her she was fine.

She moved closer to me and angrily she shoved me out of her way.

“Why did you have to shove me? You could have just asked me to move aside” I asked her.

“Olivia! When did I do that? Why the hell are you always bothering me and making me look like I'm a bad person?” She yelled out.

Miss B came over and asked what was wrong. Neither of us said a word which made Miss B more furious. She warned us to work in silence without any fights breaking out between the two of us and asked us to return to our duty.

Ring! Ring!! Ring!!!

The kitchen phone rang and Miss B picked up the phone. As soon as she finished talking to the caller, she dropped the phone and turned to me, “Olivia, the triplets want you to come to their room right now.” She said.

“Do they want me to bring something up?” I asked.

“No, they only want you to come up to their suite. They probably want to send you on an errand.” Miss B said.

“Okay,” I said as I walked out.

Just then, Sadie hissed. 

“Harlot!” She said.

"Sadie!" Miss B scolded her.

Everyone including me looked at her but she ignored us and returned to her duty. I only chuckled at her words, deciding to overlook her atrocious behavior especially after what I had seen earlier, before pushing the kitchen door open to go out.

***

I made my way through the palace halls towards the triplets' room. Miss B's warning about being called to their room without a clear purpose had me feeling a bit uneasy. I couldn't shake the troubling revelation I had witnessed earlier in the kitchen. Lucien's involvement in something as dangerous as drugs was deeply concerning, but for now, I had to set aside my worries and focus on whatever the triplets needed.

“Ohhh,” I said, nodding while trying to stifle my yawn.

I can't wait to get this over with and go home. I'm exhausted.

Just then, a long, white limousine with three luxury cars preceding it with another one behind it pulled up in the palace. The security men in the smaller cars came out of their cars. They were dressed in black suits and their gaze was deadly, indicating that if anyone acted like a threat to Skyle, they wouldn't hesitate to take down the person. They all bowed respectfully to the Alpha and the members of the pack and then, they quickly surrounded the Limousine, one of them opened the door and Skyle, looking indeed like royalty, came out of the car elegantly.

All the maids started smiling sappily and they couldn’t stop talking about how handsome he was. He looked towards where I was standing and smiled at me and this caught Lucas's attention.

Lucas cleared his throat and looked at the maids, and we all bowed to welcome Skyle while he moved towards the Alpha to greet him.

Alpha Damon welcomed him and told the triplets to bring him in as he and the other members went in.

As we, the maids, turned in to go back to our duty post, Skyle called my name.

“Olivia,” He said as he approached me with a smile.

“Skyle,” I said uneasily, not wanting the attention of him acting like he knew me would cause as I turned to face him.

All eyes were on me including the triplets and Helen. I didn’t know what else to do, whether to keep talking to Skyle or just turn back to go back to the kitchen.

Just then Skyle moved closer to me and with a hug, he said, “I have missed you, Liv. How have you been?”

Everyone looked stunned.
