Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 29 The Slap 2

Olivia

“Yes!” Everyone chorused as Helen pretended to protest against it.

"There's no need for that please, Olivia and I will work it out!" She yelled against the sound of everyone cheering.

I looked around, oddly hurt by the way they all seemed to relish in the thought of me having to face the Alpha over what had just happened. I wasn't innocent of slapping her, and even though it was not unprovoked, there was nothing I could do to prove it.

“Now, everyone should go and change, pack your belongings and head back to the bus. We are going back to school.” Mr Scott said.

There were several groans and thanks a lot, Olivia that came after that, but I was too focused on calming myself that I ignored them all.

“As for Olivia and Helen, after dropping the rest of the students at the school, we'll head directly to the Alpha's palace. You can call your parents so they can meet us there.” He added.

Everyone ran to get changed and in the next few minutes, we were on the bus. I sat with Josh and I could see Helen getting all the attention from Lucas and Lucien with Logan sitting quietly, glancing at me occasionally.

Most of the ride back home was quiet and uneventful, excluding the girls seated in front of Josh and me. They kept discussing what had happened and blaming me, loud enough for not just me, but for everyone else to hear. I tried to ignore it, but when they talked about me lying that Helen had insulted my parents, I became furious. As I was about to stand up to defend myself, Josh pushed me back down to my seat.

“Are you crazy, Olivia? Do you want to complicate this matter further?” He said angrily.

“Josh, this is too much. Helen was the one to blame and not me.” I said, trying to hold back the tears that were now welling up.

“I know you are innocent but there’s nothing to do about it now except the moon goddess intervenes.” He said as I rested my head on his shoulder, the tears now silently flowing.

“The moon goddess hates me,” I said as I sobbed.

“Don’t say that, Liv.”

Just then I remembered Mr Scott's words to tell my parents to come to the palace.

“Josh, how am I gonna tell my parents what happened? I don’t want them to be ridiculed just because of my actions.”

“I already called them when I went to get changed. They should be on their way to the palace by now.” Josh said.

“They are going to be so worried, I hate that I dragged them into this," I said sadly as I searched the front pocket of my pants for my phone.

“All will be fine, Liv,” Josh said.

“I hope so," I said as I fished my and unlocked my phone to see my missed calls from my parents. I guessed all that had happened didn’t allow me to know that my phone was ringing. Just then a message popped up, it was my dad.

“Josh told us what happened, are you okay? Don't worry about anything, sweetie. Everything will be fine.”

I sniffed as seeing my dad's message brought a fresh round of tears to my eyes. Just then, we heard a commotion from the part of the bus where the triplets were seated with Helen.

“Can you hear yourself? You are out of your mind, Logan.” Lucas yelled out.

“Keep your voice down, I didn’t say anything wrong, I only suggested that we shouldn’t take this matter to the palace. Neither Helen nor Liv want this.” Logan said.

“Liv, huh? I see what's happening here. I don't care what you have to say or what your darling Liv wants. We are taking this matter to the palace and that’s final.” Lucien added.

“Please stop this already. You guys shouldn’t fight among yourselves just because of me.” Helen chipped in.

I scoffed. She always has to make it about herself.

“Enough!” Mr Scott shouted. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

The triplets kept quiet as well as everyone on the bus.

“There is nothing we can do, I have already reported the matter to school and I’m sure the palace would have gotten a hold of it by now. And also, Olivia needs to be punished. That will serve as a deterrent to others.” Mr Scott said.

Then he turned to Logan, “And if you still believe Olivia is innocent, just so you know Helen came to me and pleaded with me on her behalf. She asked me to let it go and not report it to the palace, but that was already after I reported the situation to the school. So Helen is not the culprit here, neither is she to blame. It’s Olivia and she has to learn to take responsibility for her actions.” He added.

"What the hell does he know about you to say that? He's acting like he's such a great teacher when we all know that he ignores all the bullying that happens in school." Josh whispered to me angrily.

"Welcome to the world we live in," I said as I dragged him back down on his ear like he had done to me earlier. Everyone also sat down after Mr Scott instructed them to. The journey was silent as everyone kept glancing back at me. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I brought out my earplugs and put

them on, listening to music to distract myself. Soon the lull of the bus and the music lured me to sleep and I dozed right off.

Josh tapped my shoulder when we arrived at the school. We all alighted from the bus and we were all welcomed by the vice principal, Mrs Claire. She addressed us and informed us that everything that had happened concerning me, Helen and the tour guide would be taken off. She asked the rest of the students to practice discretion and ordered that there was to be no spreading of gossip or negative talk.

Too late for that, I thought as I recalled the phone recording as the way everyone had jumped in their phones once we got back on the bus.

She instructed everyone else to go home while I, Helen and the triplets were to stay back. She told us that the Beta had been informed and we were to all head to the palace immediately.

“We need witnesses and Trisha had a video saved on her phone. I think she should also go to the palace with us.” Mr Scott said.

“Okay, that's fine. Trisha can join us,” Mrs Claire replied.

Everyone went their way while I looked at Josh who was reluctant to leave. I hugged him before sending him home with a “I will be fine” smile. He finally left when I assured him that I would let him know whatever happened and whatever punishment I was given.

Just then I saw Mrs Claire approaching Helen. She smiled as she moved towards her. I saw her caressing her face, I heard her telling her that her father was so furious. She even assured her that her father said he was going to give me the worst punishment ever.

I stumbled back in shock as I had expected Mrs Claire of all people to have been neutral about the matter.

I guess that only teaches me to not have expectations from people. They're all the same. I hate this pack with every fiber of my being, I thought to myself as Helen smiled at me from over Mrs Clark's shoulder as she hugged her.

I shivered as I imagined several terrible punishments I could get. Mrs Claire shot me a glare and then instructed everyone to get on the bus. Helen went with the triplets in their car and we arrived at the palace.

Everyone had gathered outside the palace including all maids. I saw Sadie grinning hard while looking at me. Mrs B looked at me pitifully while other maids gossiped about me as I passed by them. Just then I saw Beta Bentley shouting at my parents. I ran over to them, crying. Helen and the

triplets also arrived. Helen quickly ran over to her father looking as if she had been abused. His father made a fuss by checking her body asking her if she was hurt.

Even in my distress, I couldn't help thinking, I thought I was a mere Omega, why's he acting like he believes I could hurt her terribly?

The tour guide was also brought out and forced to go on my knees by the guards. Alpha Damon was also seated. I looked at him to see if I would see a hint of the man who had spoken to me kindly and asked me to not give up on his sons, but his face was studiously stony and blank. I hoped he would believe me but from the expression on his face, I knew that it would never happen.
