Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 39 Discussing Skyle

Lucas

My father looked at me with a frown, “Is that how you will address him when he gets here? He is here on a mission and as an Alpha's son and not as your friend or enemy, so you will regard him with respect before and after he gets here. Am I clear?”

“Yes, Alpha Damon,” I said calmly.

My father grunted and rolled his eyes at me before returning his attention back to the document he was going through. I quickly got out of his study before I could say another word that would provoke his anger. I walked lazily along the corridor and then I saw Sadie heading towards our room. She was carrying a tray with a glass of orange juice on it. I guessed that Helen must have asked for the drink.

I called for her and she turned back, bowed slightly and walked towards me.

“Are you taking this to our room?” I asked, gesturing to the tray.

“Yes, Your Highness.” She said,

“Give that to me. I need you to do something else for me,” I said as I stretched out my hands for the tray.

“It’s my job to serve you, Your Highness. I will take this to your room real quick and I will also help you out with whatever you need.” She replied as she took a step back and bowed again.

At that point, I was starting to get irritated but I needed to maintain my cool. “Give me the tray, Sadie. That's an order. Like I said, I need you to do something for me and that's to talk to Miss B on my behalf.”

She reluctantly handed the tray to me, “What do you want me to say to Miss B, Your Highness?” She asked.

“I heard Miss B treated Olivia right when she was in the palace. Is that true?” I asked.

“Yes, Your Highness. I and other maids also treated her kindly, like she was our sister.” She said.

I heaved a relieved sigh and said. “I see, I want you to tell Miss B that she should try to persuade my Father to send her to Olivia’s parents and tell them exactly what you have said - that she is fond of their daughter and that she's been treated well in the palace. I should have talked to her about this myself but Alpha Damon gave me some tasks to handle so I will be counting on you, Sadie.”

She nodded slowly and I smiled at her before heading to our room with the tray.

“You are back,” Helen said as she took the tray from me.

“But I asked Sadie to bring the juice. Why are you the one walking in with the tray?” She asked.

“Yeah. I asked Sadie to help me with something. I needed to bring in the juice myself so she could get the work done as soon as possible," I said to her as I moved to sit beside Lucien who was lying lazily on the bed while playing with his phone. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“And what could that be?” Helen asked, smiling.

“I needed someone to persuade Olivia’s parents to allow her to come back to the palace and Miss B is the only person to do that. So I told Sadie to inform her about that.” I said.

“Oh… Okay.” Helen said.

“And what did Father say?” Logan asked.

He was sleeping on the couch when I came in but when he heard me talking about Olivia, he got up real quick.

“Nothing. If you want to know what we talked about, you can go ask him yourself. He is in his study,” I replied.

“C’mon, Lucas. We all need to know what Alpha Damon said.” Helen said.

Lucien also stood up and sat down, “Let’s hear what Father says.” He said.

“Well, he said he would send someone to persuade her parents and that is why I chose Miss B to do so,” I said.

“That sounds really good,” Helen said happily.

Logan smiled a bit and Lucien also looked a bit happy.

“So I guess this means you guys have nothing to fight over… at least for now. And I'm sure Olivia will want her job back in the palace. So you guys should be calm and wait for her. Apologize to her when she is back and I will do the same as well.” Helen said.

“And why do I have to apologize? She was wrong for slapping you, Helen. I can’t believe you are still this naive.” I said angrily.

“It’s okay. I’m okay with everything Olivia did to me. She is your mate after all. And maybe she's just misunderstood” Helen said, still smiling.

Lucien and Logan only kept mute and watched as I talked to Helen. I waved away what Helen had said and turned to them.

“Father asked us to get ready to welcome Skyle,” I said, waiting for their reaction.

“What?” They both shouted in unison.

“That spoiled brat?! Absolutely not! Father should appoint another person to welcome him.” Lucien said.

“Yes. I’m not going to welcome him. He is so rude.” Logan added.

“And who is this Skyle? Do I know him?” Helen asked, looking confused.

“Of course. He is someone you know. You told us that he had a crush on you when he came to visit a few years ago,” Lucien said.

“You said he was always chasing you in and out of the palace and when we confronted him, he insulted us calling you a liar as well,” Logan added.

“Ohh, I remember him… at least I think so. But why is he coming here again?” Helen asked.

“I think he is coming here to represent his father. Father will soon commission our school library and his father was invited. So I heard that his father won’t be available by then, so he is sending his son in his stead,” I replied.

“I don’t think I can welcome him. We have to go and talk to our father about it.” Logan said.

“Well, I guess this means you don’t want Olivia back in the palace,” I said.

“What do you mean by that?” Logan asked, confused.

“We need to accept this or Father won’t call Olivia back here,” I said.

“Why will Father do such a thing?” Lucien growled.

Helen only laughed at our reactions. She found our dislike of Skyle funny and I could only sigh as I shook my head.

Just then, she stopped smiling and cleared her throat. “Why don’t you invite him to my birthday party? You guys can become friends that way and get the entire awkwardness out of the way,” She said.

"Invite Skyle to your birthday party? Are you crazy?" I blurted out.

Helen pouted and crossed her arms, "Why not? It could be a good opportunity for you guys to bond and put the past behind you. Besides, it's my birthday party, and I would like him to come."

I exchanged glances with Lucien and Logan, and we all seemed to have the same thoughts running through our minds.

"Fine," Lucien sighed. "We'll do it for you. But only because it's your birthday."

Helen's face lit up with a bright smile, and she hugged each of us tightly. "Thank you, guys! You're the best!"

After Helen left the room, I turned to my brothers. "We need to be on our best behavior when Skyle arrives. We don't want to give Father any reason to keep Olivia away from the palace."

Logan nodded in agreement, "Right. We need to be diplomatic about this. Let's just play nice and get this over with."
