Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 32. The Alpha's Plea

Olivia's POV

I heard a knock on my door, I frowned slightly because I thought it would be Logan. I moved to open the door, “What do you want Logan? I’m still getting dressed.” I said as I pulled the door open.

I was surprised to see a guard, he bowed slightly and I muttered something, surprised he was bowing to me, and then he informed me that the Alpha was finished talking to my parents and had asked to see me. I told him I would right out and closed the door, hurriedly taking off the rest of my clothes to get changed.

I changed quickly and headed out. The guard led me to what seemed to be the Alpha’s study. Alpha Damon instructed the guard to return to his post and asked me to sit down across from him. I felt a little bit scared as I didn’t know what he wanted to say to me or what he told my parents.

I bowed respectfully before taking my seat and then he looked at me worriedly. He seemed to be lost for words. There was a minute of silence and then I broke the silence by asking about my parents' whereabouts.

“They are waiting for you outside the palace.” He said.

“Are you okay? I know it hurts so I will instruct the palace doctor to send you some ointments.” He added.

“You don’t have to, your Majesty. Prince Logan helped me dress the wound already.” I said respectfully.

“Logan did that?” He asked, looking surprised.

Should I have said that?

I nodded and waited for him to say another word but it didn't come. He only looked at me and after some minutes he cleared his throat, “I'll inform the chief of staff that you won't be able to come to work for a few days. You should spend some time at home to get better. You can resume at the palace anytime, once you are fully healed and recovered.” He said.

“And I’m so sorry for how you were treated. I know you are not that kind of person. I wish I could say more, but I had to let you get punished for reasons you may not understand.” He added.

“I appreciate your kind gesture, your Majesty.” I said respectively, my heart pounding in my chest as I thought of the next words I was about to say, “But I don’t think I will be coming back to the palace. What happened earlier already shows that the princes don't want me. They already rejected me, and with all due respect, Your Majesty, I do not want to be around them anymore” I added.

He sighed heavily before leaning across the huge mahogany desk. “Your parents also said the same thing but didn’t you just say now that Logan attended to your wounds? That shows you are getting through to them, albeit slowly. I can assure you that my sons are worth you waiting for them. All I can ask is that you please do not give up on them.”

“I’m sure Lucas and Lucien will surely come around as well and for Helen, I think you girls just need some time to get to know each other very well. She is a sweet girl, and I'm sure it was all a misunderstanding. And the Beta might seem cruel, but he is just extremely strict and protective of his daughter.” He added.

With what Logan just told me, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to expose Helen's true colors. Even the Alpha had fallen for her act hook, line and sinker.

I cleared my throat, "If I may, Your Majesty, may I ask why you're doing all this?"

He smiled. "Because I can see what you and those hard-headed sons of mine can't see yet. And you may not know it yet, but having a mate is one of the greatest things a wolf can experience in their lifetime. So please, just keep trying."

“I will think about it, your Majesty,” I said bowing slightly.

“Good. Your parents also told me that they have to discuss it with you. And that the decision is yours only to make.”

“You shouldn’t keep them waiting, get going and make sure you take good care of yourself for me and my stubborn triplets.” He said smiling.

I chuckled at his last statement, I thanked him, bid him goodbye and bowed before leaving his room.

As I walked through the hallways, I became conscious of how the maids and other people I walked past seemed to stare at me for longer than necessary. A couple of maids even whispered to each other and gave me dirty looks upon seeing me.

I guess everyone now knows what happened. I can only wonder what school will be like.

I kept my head hung low and picked up the pace as I hurried to leave the palace behind. Right as I turned the corner that led to the back door that the workers in the palace used, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked back to see that it was Helen smiling devilishly. She grabbed my wrist and I struggled to release myself from her grip as she dragged me to an empty room in the palace. She locked the door and pushed me down to a chair. I winced at the pain that coursed through my back before yelling at her, “What on earth do you want now, Helen?”

She smiled and bent down to whisper into my ears, “I want you gone, Olivia.”

“No problem at all. You've gotten your wish already as I won’t be coming to the palace anymore. You can marry the princes for all I care.” I yelled as I stood up from the chair.

She pushed me back to the chair and I could only curse her inwardly as my back throbbed in protest and I winced.

I kept quiet as I remembered how I fell into her trap at the beach.

She moved closer to me and scoffed, “Are you sure you won’t be coming back again even if the triplets called you back?”

“If the triplets do call me back, that really shows you haven't played your cards right, doesn't it?.” I shot back, smiling.

She turned away from me and pushed the door open, she turned back to me, “Oh Olivia, if you know what's best for you and you don't want a repeat of what happened today, stay away from the triplets and the palace." She said before slamming the door.

I sighed before I stood up to get out of the room. I ran out of the palace and I saw my parents standing by their car. They looked sad, so I ran to give them both a hug. They both hugged me tightly causing me to make a sound. They released me instantly checking for where I was hurt.

“You are just so stubborn like your dad.” My mom yelled out. “Had you admitted immediately, you wouldn't be in such pain.” She added.

“C’mon, Lily. I don’t want us to think about that horrible scene anymore. What matters is that she is fine.” My father said.

“Let’s go home. I need to attend to your wounds better.” My mom said as she led me into the car. My dad also entered the car.

“You don’t have to, Mom. Logan already dressed my wounds. The only place left untouched was my buttocks.” I said smiling.

“Those brats, acting like they care when all they did was to bully you.” My mom said.

“What did you talk about with Alpha Damon?” I asked them.

“We will discuss that when we get home.” My dad said as he started the car.

“And also, Josh called earlier to ask about you. He said you were not picking up so I explained everything to him.” My mom said. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Just then I brought out my phone from my bag and I saw that I had missed some calls from Josh. Just then a message came in, it was Josh again.

“Do you want to go with me to visit Gwen?”
