Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 37 Spending time with Gwen

Olivia

I chuckled at the mention of “Hello beautiful” before accepting Skyle’s handshake.

I couldn't help noticing how handsome Skyle was. His tawny blond hair was wavy and curled just above his collar. His brown eyes were flecked with long, dark eyelashes and seemed hypnotic. He looked to be about just a little above 6ft in height. And his blinding, warm smile only served to make him look friendly and approachable.

I was reminded of the triplets but shook away the thoughts of them and focused on Skyle.

“Hello, Skyle,” I replied, feeling shy.

“You look beautiful, Ol… I'm sorry I forgot your name,” he said as he stared into my eyes.

“Olivia,” I said or rather I breathed out softly. I could feel the blush that rose on my cheeks.

Just then Gwen and Josh made a teasing sound which made me blush harder.

“I see you two have an instant connection,” Gwen said teasingly.

“What connection?” I said sheepishly.

“You do know you are blushing, right?” Josh said smiling.

I groaned and covered my face with my palms, parting my fingers to steal glances at Skyle to see his reaction.

“Skyle, why don’t you keep Olivia company while I also focus on Josh.”

“I would be glad to do so,” Skyle said as he moved closer to me.

“Enough of the shyness. We all know you are beautiful.” He said while removing my palms from my face.

“You shouldn’t hide that beautiful face, Liv.”

Oh my gosh, is he flirting with me right now? Liv?

Does he think we're close enough for him to call me that?

Beautiful? He is joking, right?

If he finds out that I am an Omega, will he still act like this?

The thoughts zipped through my mind and I was so deep in them that I didn’t hear Skyle was asking me a question. Gwen tapped my shoulder, “Liv, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, Gwen.”

“Are you sure?” Josh asked.

“I’m good.”

“Skyle, I’m putting Olivia in your care. Make sure she enjoys the fireworks while I do so with Josh, and spend some alone time with him.” Gwen said smiling.

“Okay,” Skyle said, still smiling at me.

I didn't know why but I didn't want to be alone with Skyle. As I was about to utter a protest, Josh cut me off.

“You should enjoy yourself, Liv. Don’t think of anyone else except yourself. Be selfish for once this time around. Okay?”

I guess he and Gwen really want to spend time alone with each other. I should let them rather than being a third wheel.

I nodded and smiled at him. Gwen pulled him away and they left. I sighed as I moved closer to Skyle. The clouds fell away, and the moon shone brighter as light fell on his face making his face more visible.

He smiled at me and just then my phone rang, and I saw Lucas' name flashing across my screen. I nearly dropped my phone in surprise, and I started warily at my phone.

What does he want now?

I can see Logan calling me, but Lucas?

Could it be that he is sorry for what happened?

I frowned and declined the call, imagining Lucas frowning or growling at his phone as I rejected his call and put my phone back in my pocket.

Skyle, probably seeing my reaction, smiled faintly.

“Can I ask why you are not picking up?”

“Nothing. I just don’t want anyone to spoil my mood right now.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Ohhh. I get it. Do you care to share who was calling?”

“I don’t even want to talk about him. He is rude and arrogant. I’m not sure if you will know him, but I will only tell you who he is. He is Lucas, he is the Alpha’s son in my pack.”

“And who is he to you?” He asked.

“He is nothing to me,” I said sharply.

He is nothing to me. The words reverberated and clanged loudly in my head. Yes, he is nothing to me just like I am nothing to him as well. I affirmed in my head.

I noted Skyle's questioning expression which told me he might not stop asking me questions, so I turned to him and smiled.

He looked at me confused, “Why the sudden smile, Liv?" He asked.

“Enough about me. Let me know more about you too.”

He cleared his throat, “Okay, what do you want to know? You can ask me anything.”

“How did you become friends with Gwen? I mean, how do you know her?”

“Gwen is my childhood friend. We met in kindergarten when she punched a boy in the face for bullying me and we've been inseparable ever since."

I stared in shock and then laughed, "Really? Did she really punch a boy in the face? Somehow, I can't imagine Gwen doing that, kid or not."

"Oh yes, she did. She's a bit of a wild one, my Gwen. Which makes me glad she's met Josh. He seems cool, probably doesn't know it yet, but he's gonna spend a lot of time defusing situations his mate will cause."

We both laughed and after sobering, strolled along in the carnival in companionable silence.

After a couple of minutes, I asked, “Okay. Have you met your mate?”

He paused a while before replying, “Not yet, but I hope it would be someone kind and beautiful just like you.”

“Stop it," I said shyly.

“I guess you've found your mate, Liv.” He said.

I sighed and paused for a few seconds, “I did find my mates but they are my worst nightmare. I must have done something really terrible in my past life to be saddled with them as my mates.”

“They? As in plural?” He asked, confused.

“Yes, they are triplets. Lucas, Logan and Lucien.”

“You are lucky but why would you call them your worst nightmare?”

“I was rejected by them,” I said plainly.

He stopped walking abruptly and stared at me in shock.

I guess he can't fathom why they would reject their mate.

“Sorry about that. I shouldn’t have asked.” He said.

“It’s fine. I needed someone to talk to about them to feel at ease. Thank you so much for listening.” I said.

“Anything for you, Liv.”

I smiled at his words and then he brought out his phone and handed it to me.

“What? Why are you giving me your phone?” I was confused.

“No, silly." He said as he laughed. "I want you to input your number. At least we can be friends and if you need anyone to talk to, you can give me a call.” He continued, smiling.

“Don’t you want to know why I was rejected by my mates?” I asked while returning the phone to him without inputting my digits.

“The only reason why some Alphas or high-ranking wolves reject their mate is because they rank the lowest in the pack, which is an omega.” He said nonchalantly.

“And you are okay with being friends with an omega like me?” I asked.

“Who cares? Unless you don’t want to be friends with me.” He said smiling.

He stretched out his phone to me again and gave me a boyish smile with his head tilted and my heart squeezed in pain.

If only…

I smiled at him and then collected the phone from him. I input my number and then returned the phone back to him. He immediately saved my contact with Olivia with a love emoji and showed it to me before dialing my number. I couldn’t imagine what the triplets would have saved my contacts with. I’m sure it would surely be something filthy.

My phone rang and I jolted instantly. Skyle motioned for me to pick it up. I smiled at him before picking up the call.

“Hey, beautiful Liv.” He said, grinning.
