Chapter 33. A visit to Gwen


    Olivia


    “Yeah,” I replied to Josh, smiling at the suggestion before returning my phone to my backpack.


    “Is that Josh?” my mom asked from the passenger seat.


    “Yeah, I think he is trying to make me forget about all this by taking me along with him to see


    Gwen.”


    “That’s so thoughtful of him. How I wished he was your mate. He is such a sweet boy… just like


    me.” My dad said as he chuckled.

    “C’mon, Dad. Eww… Josh and I… no way, we''re like siblings” I said.


    “Mom, I didn’t hear anything about the rogues that attacked us earlier. Did they finish the


    investigation already?” I asked.


    “Oh, about that, the Beta already addressed that before you arrived from school. They said that the


    rogues might have been trying to harm the princes and that they will investigate further.”


    “Ohhh,” I said, biting my lip at the thought of the triplets being hurt. Thinking of the rogue attack


    made me remember my suspicions and I hesitated before speaking.


    “About the attack, I think Helen might know something about that. She acted really suspicious when


    we were attacked, Mom and she didn''t want to investigate.” I added.


    “Not again, Liv.” My dad barked. I jumped as I had rarely ever heard my dad address me with that


    tone before.


    “You got punished and was flogged because of that girl and now you are still talking about her being


    suspicious. I don’t want you to have anything to do with her anymore. Do you have any idea what


    your mother and I went through seeing you get punished? I don''t want you to say her name, talk


    about her or even think about her. Understood?” He added.


    “Alright, Dad,” I replied reluctantly.


    Just then we arrived at our house. Josh was standing at the front door and he ran over to me. He


    looked at me and rubbed his eyes before grabbing my arm and cing his arm around his neck to


    support me. Mom also grabbed my hand to support me.


    “I’m fine. I can walk.” I said as I tried to release myself from their hold.


    “You are not.” My mom snapped at me.


    "Moooom," I whined.


    “Okay, at least allow Josh to support you if you don’t want the both of us to do it.” She added.


    I finally gave up and allowed Josh to help me. We all went in. My mom quickly went into her room to


    get some ointment while my dad started to massage my leg. Josh looked worried, sighing like an


    old man.


    “I’m fine, Josh. We''re wolves, remember? I''ll bepletely healed soon.” I said.


    “You are not fine, Liv. Of course, you are a werewolf, but we can also feel pain too. Helen is such a


    bitch. She is cruel and mean and as for the triplets, they are just stupid. I mean, how can they be so


    blind? Do they choose to be or are we just gonna have people who can''t even see past a female''s


    obvious lies as our Alphas in the future.” He rambled angrily.


    "Josh! Watch it, they''re still the Princes you know."


    “Josh''s right, Olivia. I have never been so ashamed of the pack nor have I hated myck of power


    as I did today. How can they do this to their mate?” My dad added.


    I smiled at them, “I’m good, Dad. You shouldn''t be like that. I promise you I''m fine, okay?” I said.


    He grunted and looked away, blinking rapidly.


    My heart squeezed and even though I had been insisting that I was fine, I was distraught and angry


    at the entire pack for the way weaker wolves like Josh, my parents and I were treated.


    “Josh, when are we visiting Gwen? I''ve got nothing but free time, I won’t be going back to the


    pce and I won’t be attending school for a couple of days either.”


    “Really?” Josh asked happily.


    “Yep.”


    “If that’s the case, I won’t go to school either. We should use this opportunity to forget what


    happened and also enjoy ourselves.”


    “I understand why Olivia won’t be going to school, but Josh you have to give me a solid reason why


    you won’t be going to school.” My dad asked with a stern voice but smiling.


    “ I have to take care of Olivia,” Josh said, smiling sheepishly.


    My dad and I were stillughing when my mom returned to the sitting room.


    “What’s funny?” She asked as she walked in.


    I told her what happened.


    “Why won’t you go to school? I know you are hurt, I can still ept that you stay at home for a few


    days and you can also go with Josh to visit Gwen, but you have to return to school when you are


    okay. The school won’t give you the whole year to recuperate.” My mom said as she dropped the


    ointment on the table.


    “Mom, the whole school knows about what happened and I''m sure they know by now how I was


    punished. I don''t want to go, I''ll only get insulted and made fun of.” I whispered sadly.


    “You have to show them how strong you are, my darling. You are better than them. You shouldn’t


    give up because of those brats.” She said with her hands on her hips, but I saw the worried


    expression on her face.


    “Okay, mom. I will only spend a few days at home and return back to school next week.” I said.


    “That’s my girl.”


    “Josh, it’s gettingte already. Are you having dinner with us? If not, you should probably be on your


    way home so that your parents don''t get worried.” My dad said.


    Josh stood up to leave and my parents walked him off to the front door. My mom helped me to my


    room and applied the ointment on my buttocks before leaving for the kitchen to cook. Iid down on


    my front on my bed as I thought about everything that had happened and Logan''s surprising


    behavior. I eventually slept off without having dinner.


    The next morning…


    I groaned and forced my eyes to open as the sunlight that was shining through my windows woke


    me up. Just as I sat up, my phone pinged and I checked to see that I had a message from Logan.


    Hey, Olivia. How are you feeling?


    Good morning. I’m good, thank you.


    I replied to him and then my stomach grumbled.


    Why didn''t Mom wake me up for dinner? I’m so hungry, I thought as I slid out of bed.


    I quickly headed downstairs to get something to eat and then I saw Josh sitting on the couch with


    his backpack.


    “We are visiting Gwen today.” He yelled out as soon as he saw me, smiling.


    “Woooo!” I screamed with my hands thrust out forming the rock on! sign.


    “I’m finally meeting with Josh’s mate.” I teased him, taking pleasure in the blush that bloomed on his


    cheeks.


    “What’s all the noise about?” My dad asked as he brought out a tray of food from the kitchen,


    wearing an apron and oven mitts. My mom also came out behind him.


    “Dad, did you prepare breakfast?” I asked, surprisingly.


    “Anything for my baby.” He said as he ced the tray on the table.


    “Thanks, Dad,” I said as I moved to hug him.


    "I should get more flogged often if it means I get to have your infamous pancakes." I teased as my


    eyes ran over the food hungrily.


    "Olivia Rose Spencer!"


    I turn to see both my mom and dad ring at me.


    "Sorry, too soon?" I smiled at them sheepishly.


    My dad shook his head and we all sat to have our breakfast, Josh also joined us.


    “Mom, Josh and I are traveling to see Gwen today.”


    “Well, we heard you guys shouting earlier and Josh came here with his huge backpack this


    morning.” My dad said smiling.


    Josh had a wide smile on his face and I snorted.


    “Are you that happy to see Gwen?” He asked Josh who was now blushing.


    “Yes,” Josh replied simply, but my heart ached at the longing and excitement I heard in his voice.


    If only… Don''t think about it, Olivia. Focus on the present and enjoy breakfast with your family.


    “My parents can’t wait to meet her too.” He added.


    "Are they going with us?" I asked with my mouth full.


    My mom tsked and I smiled in apology.


    "No, they''ll meet her via Facetime."


    We all smiled and then I quickly finished my food. I headed back to my room to get prepared for the


    journey. As soon as I was done packing, I ran back to join my parents and Josh in the sitting room.


    “I’m done packing, Josh,” I said, panting.


    “We are spending the weekend with Gwen, did you pack enough clothes?” Josh asked.


    “Yeah.”


    “And your ointment?” Mom asked.


    “No,” I replied reluctantly.


    “I’m fine, mom,” I added.


    “You are going with the ointment.” She said as she ran to her room. We all smiled as she left and


    hurriedly wiped the smile off our faces when she came back with it. She ced it inside my


    backpack and she hugged me for a minute, taking care to not touch my back before releasing me.


    “Take good care of yourself.” My dad said.


    Josh and I bid them goodbye and then we left, zooming off in Josh''s Dad''s car.
