Chapter 34. Father and daughter, the evil duo
Helen
I ran to the triplets room, and I hugged Lucas and Lucien, “Thank you for standing up for me. But you shouldn’t have allowed us to bring the matter to the palace. Poor Olivia…” I trailed off, trying my best to look disturbed as I stared up at them through my lashes.
“You are welcome, Helen. Olivia may be our mate but I won’t tolerate any bad behavior from her, not from any member of the pack, no matter who they are.” Lucas said to me as he walked over to a couch and sat.
I hated hearing the words, Olivia and mate coming from Lucas' mouth, but I had no choice but to give a fake smile.
Lucien led me over to his massive bed and we both plopped down on it, Lucien automatically wrapping me in his arms.
I smirked inwardly, Out of the three, Lucien would be the easiest.
"Where's Logan?" I asked as my gaze searched the room for him.
“We don’t know where he is,” Lucien said as he turned me around to face him and scanned my face.
“Your face looks bruised.” He clicked as he gently ran his fingers over where Olivia slapped.
I flinched and smiled inwardly when his eyes caught the flinch and his jaw clenched.
I wrapped my arms around his wrist and whispered, “No, I’m fine. I will take care of that when I get home.” I said.
“No, we should be the ones to take care of you. I mean, Olivia did it so we ought to clean up the mess she made.” Lucien said. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“But why did Olivia do such a thing? I thought long about it but I don’t have any answer. She's not usually like that. She might be prickly and rude, but physical violence…” Lucas mused from where he was seated on the couch.
Uh oh
I cleared my throat. "I don't know either, Luke. I only wanted to talk to her about Mr. Park. Maybe she was distraught." I shrugged inwardly and continued, "And I know she's probably not my biggest fan. She's your mate, but you guys rejected her and you're always hanging out with me. I can only imagine how she must be feeling at the moment."
"Hmm… I'll have to talk to her." Lucas hummed and my heart skipped as he stared at me with those deliciously dark eyes of his.
Ugh! Olivia! Olivia! I'm getting so sick and tired of hearing that name.
"I should go. With everything that happened today, Mr. Park and… I'm not feeling too good…" I trailed off
3, 2, 1.
"About that? Are you okay? Do you need someone to talk to? You can stay here if you need to."
“I will be fine.” I said.
“Okay, at least let us treat the bruise on your face before you go back home,” Lucien said.
“Yeah. Let me call the kitchen to get us some ice packs.” Lucas said.
I finally gave up and then Lucas took the phone to make the call to the kitchen.
“Tell Olivia to bring in some ice packs now.” He said angrily and dropped the phone.
I fumed at the mention of her name.
“Olivia is not at the palace, remember, Lucas.” I said sadly.
“Oh. Miss B would understand me.” He said nonchalantly.
Just then, a maid came in with the ice packs, she bowed slightly before handing over the ice packs to Lucien. She left the room and then Lucien placed the ice pack on my cheek.
“Thanks so much, Lucien.”
“It’s fine.” He said.
Just then, Logan came in. He was hunched over and barely glanced at us as he headed to the door that led to his room.
“Where have you been? Don’t tell me you were with Olivia," Lucas said angrily.
Logan stilled and turned to face Lucas who was flowering at his brother. “I was in the palace," he replied.
“Doing what? You think I don’t know what you are up to. You even sided with Olivia earlier. Did you even think about Helen and what she must have gone through?” Lucien said as he dropped the ice pack and walked over to him.
“I don’t have the strength to argue with you guys. Helen, your father is waiting for you outside the palace.” Logan said as he continued walking towards his room door.
“Alright, Logan.” I said before turning to Lucas and Lucien, “You guys should stop attacking him, I’m sure he was so surprised to find out that Olivia could do such a thing, just like you were Lucas. And if he was worried, he's her mate after all.” I added.
“You should go and meet your father, Helen. Don’t worry about Logan.” Lucas said.
I hugged Lucas and Lucien and only waved goodbye to Logan who was looking at me oddly before heading out to meet my father. I got out of the palace and he was already in the car.
I don't like the way Logan was looking at me. I'm fairly certain he was with Olivia before he came to their suite. What on earth could they have talked about?
“Hey, Dad.” I called as the driver opened the back seat door for me to enter.
I hugged him tightly, “Helen, it’s okay. You are not a baby anymore.” My dad said smiling.
“Thanks for getting justice for me.” I said as I gave him a peck on his cheek and sat back.
“Anything for my baby. You deserve all the good things in the whole world. No one dares mess with my daughter and go scot-free.” He said smiling.
“I love you, Dad,” I said smiling and then my stomach grumbled.
“You are hungry?” He said smiling.
"I haven't eaten all day." I pouted
“Then let's feed you. Mr Murphy, step on it, my baby is hungry.” He said smiling.
Then we arrived at our house. The palace rival, as I called it. It was not only huge, but was also modeled to look just like the Alpha's palace.
“Finally, home at last.” I said as I jumped out of the car excitedly.
My dad also alighted from the car and we walked into the foyer like he was walking me down the aisle.
“This is how you should walk me when I’m getting married to the triplets.” I said smiling.
“As you wish for, my darling girl.”
The maids greeted us as we walked in, they relieved us of our bags, while the others led us to the table to eat. After which, my dad excused them. I rolled my eyes at him.
“Why will you excuse them? What if we need something?” I asked him.
“We need to talk, Helen.”
“About what?” I said as I stuffed my mouth.
“About Olivia, I know the girl isn’t capable of hurting you.”
Busted.
I wiped my mouth with a napkin before replying. “You are right. I only allowed her to slap me so that I could put her in her place. She is too rude and arrogant. and what? She is the triplets' mate? Ha! I can never accept that. Over my dead body will she become the Luna of this pack.”
“Hmm, what about the tour guide?”
I cleared my throat, “Well, he said something strange to us about a painting we saw at the museum, and he kept on looking at Olivia, so I was only trying to get more information from him but I was caught by Olivia, so he had to be a scapegoat.”
My dad nodded his head and then continued eating.
“Are you going to punish me?” I asked as I scanned his face for a sign he was mad.
“No. But you have to let me know whatever you are planning ahead so that I can get ready for it.”
“Hmm. Okay.” I said as I returned back to my food.
A few minutes passed before I spoke again.
“I know you are also behind the rogue's attacks.” I said sharply.
“What?!”
