Chapter 38 Where is Olivia?
Chapter 38 Where is Olivia?
Lucas
"Are you kidding me?" I growled as my call was declined.
I called her again, but I still couldn't reach her. I grunted and threw my phone on the couch watching as it bounced off the couch and ended up on the floor with a loud thwack!
There goes another phone.
I was so angry at the fact that I called Olivia and she wasn’t picking up my calls. I kept pacing up and down the room. Lucien was too focused on his phone. He seemed immersed but I couldn't be certain. Out of the three of us, it would be easy to deem Lucien the flighty one, but I knew there was so much more to him than we all see. Logan only laid on the couch staring at me blankly.
“What did you and Olive talk about the other day? Why is she not picking up my calls?” I said angrily as I approached Logan.
“You know where she is right?” I added.
Logan didn’t utter a word, instead, he rolled over on the couch and picked up the book that was lying next to him.
“I know you, Logan, better than you know yourself. So I know from the way you are acting that you know where Olivia might be. Tell me, where is she?
“Lucas, leave him alone. I’m sure he is also worried about her.” Lucien said.
“Who said anything about being worried about her? She's our maid and she took days off without informing us." I growled.
“Okay, fine. Just calm down. You already made two maids run out in tears. Growling and snapping at everyone won’t bring her back to the palace." Lucien replied.
“Then what should I do?”
“Why are you disturbing the girl with the calls? You said you are not worried about her, so leave her alone.” Logan said as he abruptly stood up from the couch.
“Don't talk to me like that. The girl needs to resume back to the palace.” I growled as I walked over to him and grabbed a hold of his shirt.
“Release me this instant, or else…” Logan said angrily.
“What? Do you want to beat me up? Because of her? I’m the strongest and the eldest, so let’s see what you got.” I said, pushing him backwards.
He lunged at me and Lucien quickly stood up to separate us. “You guys should stop this now!” He growled.
“You were there when the girl was punished and what? You want her to resume back to the palace. Put yourself in her shoes and see if it will fit in.” Logan yelled out as Lucien held him back.
“Are you blaming us for standing up for Helen? We did the right thing while Olivia was wrong.” I growled at him.
“The right thing indeed.” He scoffed.
“What if it was the other way around? What if Helen slapped Olivia and she came to us for help?” He added, fuming.
“Helen doesn’t have any reasons to slap Olivia,” Lucien said.
Logan glared at us both and returned to the couch angrily. He couldn’t focus on the book he was reading while Lucien sat quietly on the bed. He was not pressing his phone anymore. I stood still for a few seconds before moving closer to Logan to get his phone. I forcefully took the phone from him while Lucien tried to hold him as I checked through his phone. I only saw the messages they exchanged a few days ago.
There was nothing to check again. I went to his contact and then searched for Olivia's number. I knew she would pick up if Logan was the one calling but to my surprise she was on another call. This infuriates me further.
"I need to talk to Father," I said as I returned Logan's phone.
Just then, our door was opened, it was Helen. She saw the look on our faces and quickly ran over to me, placing a hand on my chest.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly.
"It's Olivia. She is not picking up our calls," Lucien said.
"Oh. She is the same reason why I came here. I wanted to invite her to my birthday so that I can apologize to her. I'm so sorry if I put you guys in a tight position. I know you had to punish your mate just because of me," She said, putting her hand down and looking downcast.
"Your birthday is coming up next week, right? I'm so sorry I forgot about it." I said.
"And also, you don't have to apologize to Olivia, she should be the one begging for your forgiveness," I added.
I turned to Logan who was only staring at me, "Do you still believe Olivia was right?"
"I don't know." He replied angrily before lying down on the couch and covering his face with his book.
"Just leave him alone. Go and talk to Dad to see what was wrong." Lucien said as he drew Helen to sit beside him.
"But wait, I know Olivia is an omega, don't tell me she is dead from the beating?" Lucien added, gasping.
"Keep your mouth shut if you have nothing reasonable to say," Logan yelled out.
I turned to Helen who seemed to have found us hilarious. She was laughing so hard that she almost fell from the couch.
"Helen, you should let us know what you want for your birthday gift. I need to see our dad right now." I smiled at her and kissed her forehead before walking out of the room.
I met father while he was in the study poring over a bunch of documents. I cleared my throat as I approached him. He looked up at me smiling as I bowed slightly. He offered me a seat across from him and then noticed my worried look.
"What's wrong, son?" he asked.
"It's Olivia. She has not been picking up our calls." I said grunting as I shifted uncomfortably in my seat.
He smiled faintly, "And why are you frowning? I guess it's for the best since you guys do not want her anyway." He said.
"And also she told me she won't be working at the palace again," He added.
"What? Did you agree to that?"
"Yes," he said as he sipped his coffee.
"That wasn't our agreement, Dad. She still has a lot to do here in the palace."
"Are you worried about Olivia or her work at the palace?" he asked teasingly.
"Dad."
"Okay. I told her parents to persuade her to come back to the palace. It's up to them to decide if they will allow her to return back here." He said nonchalantly. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"You should give the order to return to the palace this instant. They don't need any persuasion." I said.
Just then he frowned at me, "Is that the way I taught you guys? I didn't teach you to always exert force on the members of the pack, did I?" he said angrily.
"I'm sorry Dad, I was just worried about her work in the palace. She was the one serving us and she is nowhere to be found now. Sadie couldn't meet up with our expectations anymore." I said.
"Address me properly if you want Olivia back in the palace."
"Alpha Damon."
He smiled and then sipped his coffee again.
"I will talk to her parents," he said.
"Thank you, Dad," I said smiling.
"Dad?"
'Thank you, Alpha Damon." I said bowing respectfully.
As I stood to head back to my room, he called me back.
"What now, Dad?" I groaned.
"Brat! I told you to address me properly."
"But we are the only ones here."
"And you are here to request a favor."
I finally gave in and stood still bowing slightly, "Do you want me to help you with something?"
A smile spread across his face, "Yeah, I do have a task for you, your brothers should also join you in carrying out the task. Prepare yourself to welcome Skyle, the heir to the Crescent Moon pack. He is coming here next week."
"That rude brat!"
