Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 50

Olivia’s POV

“Olivia? Is there something wrong?” Miss B asked me.

“Everything is fine Miss B," I replied nervously, still thinking about what had happened in the dining room with the triplets and Skyle.

I gulped as I imagined the state the triplets would be in.

“Now run along and come back quickly. You know we have a lot to do now that we have guests in the palace.” Miss B said.

I knew the triplets wouldn't just let me be with the way Skyle had acted towards them. I walked slowly as I didn't know what they would do. I finally got to their doorstep and I knocked softly, hoping there would be no answer and I would be able to go back to the kitchen without having to face them.

“Come in,” Lucas' voice boomed.

My shoulders drooped, I pushed open the door entered and bowed to them. I clasped my hands, smiling nervously as I asked them what they wanted me to get them.

They all stared at me in silence for a while. It was not until I began to fidget that Helen broke the silence.

“I had no idea you knew Skyle, Liv.” She said smiling.

I inwardly scoffed and narrowed my eyes at the undertone of disbelief in her voice.

“How did you guys meet? And how long have you known him for?” She asked.

“Skyle is a good friend of mine and I met him when Josh and I visited a friend of ours who's in his pack,” I replied awkwardly.

“How long have you known him?” Lucas cuts in.

"Not quite too long, but long enough." I hedged, unable to help the defiance that crept into my voice.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"What?"

"The last phrase you said, 'but long enough', what did you mean by that?" 

"No… nothing. I just meant that I've known for long enough. Long enough to be a good friend of mine."

I bit as Lucas said darkly, "I see.."

Suddenly, he growled, “I don’t want you anywhere near Skyle.” 

“What? Why?” I asked.

“I don't have to explain myself to you. I don't want you anywhere near him and that’s an order.” He said.

I looked at Lucien who was nodding in agreement with Lucas. I turned to Logan and he looked away from me, but he didn't seem to disagree with what Lucas had said.
