Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 5

Olivia 

Lucien walked over to me with a mischievous grin on his face, causing me to tilt my head up just to be able to glare at him. "I think it would suit you. And don't lie, I bet that deep down, you want it as well."

I opened my mouth to retort but Logan cut in, "Don't bother arguing, it's final. As of now, you are now officially a maid at the palace. You must report to the palace early tomorrow morning or else…"

I lifted my chin, trying not to cry. "Or else what?"

Lucas growled, "You don't want to know. And a maid is to always look down in the presence of her masters. You're a worthless omega, don't forget that."

At the glow of his eyes, I turned on my heels and ran back to where I had parked the car. As I got into the driver's seat, I saw Josh leaving the building with his eyes on me. He was calling my name, but I couldn't bear to face him at that moment so I just drove away.

 My hands tightly gripped the steering wheel as I sped away with tears welling up in my eyes. The words mate and maid still echoed in my mind, and I could not hold back the sob that broke free. The humiliation and anger burned within me as I replayed the scene in my head.

"What am I going to do?" I muttered, my vision blurred by the tears threatening to spill over. The thought of being a maid in the palace, at the mercy of those arrogant alphas, whilst still trying to fight the mate bond was almost unbearable.

The sound of my phone ringing startled me, and I fumbled to answer it without taking my eyes off the road. It was Josh, calling to check on me. He sounded concerned, but I couldn't bring myself to tell him what had just happened. At least not yet.

"I'm okay, Josh," I managed to say, my voice trembling slightly. "Just a little tired. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

He hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing and telling me to take care. I hung up and tried to focus on my driving, ignoring the tears that were now spilling over.

A few minutes later, I pulled into my parents' driveway and turned off the ignition. I wiped my eyes and tried to compose my face before alighting and walking in.

My parents were seated in front of the TV. Their eyes snapped to me as I walked in and I faked a smile.

"Hey, hon. How was it?" My mom said as she walked over to me. Her brows furrowed as she got close and saw my face. "What's wrong?"

I should have known. Nothing gets past my parents, especially my mom. Then, I started crying, but this time around, I didn't hold back or fight my tears. My mom held out her arms and I walked into them. My dad got off from where he was seated and silently came over to you wrapping his huge frame around us. We remained like that for a couple of minutes before my tears died down.

They walked me over to the couch to ask me what happened. I narrated everything to them. They looked so shocked that the alpha triplets were my mates and they were infuriated at their suggestion.

I turned to my mom sobbing, "Mom, what should I do? Must I accept them as my mates? I can just walk away from all these right?" 

My mom was short of words. She looked sad and all she could offer me was comfort. Just then my dad cuts in.

"Worry not, child. I will go to the palace to see Alpha Damon tomorrow morning".

Those words gave me hope and I was thankful to him. I hugged them both.

"So, go into your room, wash your puffy face and come back down for  

dinner. I prepared your favourite." My mom said as she ran her palm over my hair gently.

"Yeah, you look a bit messy dear" my dad added laughing at my appearance.

I knew they were trying to make me feel better, and although I still felt torn up inside about the triplets, I hid it and gave them a smile. I rolled my eyes at my dad and hugged them both, before running up the stairs to my room.

I had my bath, ate my food and prayed to the moon goddess that things would go well with Alpha Damon.
