Chapter 45 The gift
Olivia’s POV
The entire class began to mumble loudly. I was a bit embarrassed, but I couldn't deny the pleasure I felt at Logan doing what he did along with Helen's jaw dropping in shock. I reluctantly took the gift from Logan and mouthed, “Thank you.”
He was still standing in front of me waiting for my response to his request for me to go back to the palace. I glanced at Helen who was staring blankly at me. She had composed herself and her expression was unreadable. Lucas and Lucien were also staring at me as well as if my response was written all over my face.
“I will return to the palace, Logan,” I said almost in whispers.
“What are you doing, Liv? Do your parents know what you are doing? We talked about this, right?” Josh asked me as he turned to glare at me.
“And who are you to decide for her?” Lucas yelled out from his seat.
Helen motioned for him to calm down while Lucien only continued staring at us blankly. Logan walked over to Josh’s seat, he placed his right hand on his shoulder and if anyone had come in at that moment, they would have thought they were friends.
“I promise to protect Olivia just as you have been doing, Josh. Trust me." He said calmly.
“Trust you, Logan? I don’t think I can trust any of you.” Josh said spitefully.
I turned to Josh and reminded him about all the good things Logan did for me. I managed to coax him and then he finally gave in and that was only after he warned Logan that nothing bad must happen to me. Logan smiled and I could see a faint smile on Lucas and Lucien’s face too.
“Are we good now, Josh?” Logan said while shaking his hand.
The two began to have a conversation about how Josh and I spent our weekend while the entire class continued to stare at them, most of them with wide eyes and dropped jaws.
I only smiled at the two and went ahead to unwrap my gift. The entire class was now staring at me, eager to know the contents of the bag. Helen only smiled and continued talking to Lucas and Lucien.
When I finally unwrapped the gift box, it was a beautiful pair of sneakers and to my surprise, they were my size and also my favorite color, pink. The whole class gasped in awe when they saw the beautiful gift.
Logan turned to me. “Do you like it?”
“I love it, Logan. Thank you, they're beautiful.”
“I’m sure Alpha Damon has a surprise for you as well.” He said mysteriously.
“What?”
He only smiled and returned back to his seat when Mr Scott came in. We greeted him and he took the class attendance before writing on the board. Throughout the entire class, the triplets were glancing at me, especially Logan.
The bell rang and it was soon lunchtime. Everyone had gone to the cafeteria. I told Josh that I had to meet Mrs Claire. He wanted to follow me but I told him to go to the cafeteria and that I would
catch up with him.
As I stood up to head to Mrs Claire’s office, I saw Helen pulling up the triplets. She wanted to go with them to the cafeteria. Lucas was busy typing on his phone while Lucien was scrolling through some pictures on his phone. Logan was only smiling at her and when he saw me, he stood up from his seat and asked me to join them for lunch.
“I will have to decline as I need to meet Mrs Claire in her office,” I said.
“Why?” He asked.
“It must be about my punishment at the palace. She was so angry at me last week," I said, looking down at my shoes.
As I looked up, my gaze snagged on Helen staring at us and I could see that she was jealous. I smiled inwardly, loving the look on her face because I had always felt the same way whenever she was with them.
How does it feel?
She narrowed her eyes at me as if she could read my thoughts. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“I should be on my way,” I said as I headed out.
I knocked at Mrs Claire’s door and pushed the door open slowly. She gestured at me to enter the room and sit. I did and after a few minutes of staring at me like we were in a staring contest, she only told me to be of good behavior and warned me never to act the way I had during the field trip. She told me that what I had done warranted my being suspended for a few days, but the Alpha had put in some good words for me and convinced her to let the issue go. After I was dismissed, I bowed slightly before heading out of her office and quickly went to the cafeteria.
When I got to the cafeteria, I saw Josh sitting with the triplets and Helen and then he waved at me to come over pointing at an empty seat beside him.
Look at him sitting with them so comfortably with them. Just a couple of days ago, he was warning me to never have anything to do with them again.
I walked over to them and sat down. Josh had already ordered my food and then I started eating.
“Fuck!” Lucas glowered.
“What’s wrong, Lucas?” Helen asked as I and Josh also looked up from our conversation.
“It’s Skyle. Have been trying to reach him as ordered by Alpha Damon but he isn’t replying to my messages.” He said angrily while staring at his phone.
Josh and I looked at each other wondering if it was the same Skyle we knew.
I turned to Logan and asked him who Skyle was.
“He is the heir to the Crescent Moon Pack. He is to visit our pack…” He trailed off as Josh and I cut him off.
“Skyle is coming here?” We blurted out in unison, astonished.
