Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 23. The Field trip 2

Olivia

"What's going on?" I heard a girl whimper as the school bus shook and trembled.

Several people screamed as glass shattered.

“It’s the rogues. They are attacking our bus!” Mrs Pearson shouted.

The bus was shaking so violently that no one could stay on their feet for longer than a couple of seconds. Mr. Scott, one of the teachers who was on the bus with us stumbled over to the door, but couldn't get it open. Desperation filled his face as he yelled at the panicked bus driver, who was too overwhelmed to react effectively. With one final push of a button, the door creaked open slightly before jamming in place.

Amid the chaos, Lucas rose abruptly from his seat, and his eyes blazed with determination. In a display of raw power, he extended his sharp claws and sank them into the roof of the bus, using his enhanced strength and agility to keep his balance. Gritting his teeth, he reached the partially open door, grasping it with his powerful grip. With a powerful heave, he tore it wide open, immediately throwing it at one of the rogues who was standing right outside the door. With a growl that made

chills run down my spine, he jumped off the bus and transformed midair. His fur bristled, and his eyes glowed with an otherworldly intensity.

Lucien and Logan followed his lead and also gained their stability, heading out of the bus. I couldn't take my eyes off them in their wolf form as they ferociously tore apart the rogues. Their wolves were huge and majestic, getting rid of the rogues with ease and speed. In a few minutes, the bus had stopped shaking and everyone was out of the bus. The triplets had defeated the rogues and had then returned to their human form.

Without thinking twice, I ran over to them, worried they might have been hurt.

“Are you hurt, Logan? Are you okay, Lucien?” I asked worriedly.

Just then Helen shoved me aside and shoved a bag at them. It contained clothes and she ran her eyes over them, asking if they were fine as they pulled on clothes.

Josh helped me up from my place on the floor and as we turned to leave, Logan replied quietly, “We are fine, Olivia.”

I nodded and stood still, closing my eyes as relief flooded through me. Mrs Pearson came to the triplets and inspected them. She left only when she found out that they were fine. She went over to the scene to meet Mr Scott who was inspecting the dead bodies.

“Why would they attack us all of a sudden? Most rogues usually keep to themselves.” I strained my ears to hear Mrs Pearson as she whispered to Mr Scott.

“I honestly don’t know. We will have to report these to the pack ASAP. We need to investigate and find out why they would attack all of a sudden. And if it was planned, how did they find out about the field trip?” Mr Scott replied as he shook his head, his hands on his hips.

"Could it be because of the triplets? I mean, they are heirs to the Alpha of one of the most powerful packs on the continent." Josh whispered to me.

I turned to him with wide eyes. Meanwhile…

“Yes. We need to investigate this.” Lucas said as he moved closer to the two teachers while the rest of us nodded.

“I don’t think we need to investigate this. I mean they are all dead.” Helen said.

“We almost died, Helen. We need to know why the rogues were here.” Tina said.

“I know that! But…” Helen snapped at Tina.

“Okay, that's enough. No one was hurt and that's all that matters.” Mrs Pearson cut in.

Is it just me or did Helen sound like she was trying to hide something? It felt like she was trying to cover up for the rogues.

“Helen sounded suspicious right?” I asked Josh.

“I don’t think so. What reason could she have to ever get involved with them?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I just feel uneasy, I don’t trust her anymore.”

“C’mon, Liv. You decided to come along on this trip because you didn't want your decisions influenced by her. How about you don't let her influence your thoughts as well, hmm? And this is the

first time you are partaking in any school activities, why don’t you shove that uneasiness aside and enjoy yourself?” Josh said as he patted my back.

“Our bus is shattered, so there is no way to get to our destination. What are we going to do Mrs Pearson?” a girl asked.

Mr Scott moved closer to Mrs Pearson and whispered to her. They left us after instructing everyone to stay still. I looked for somewhere to sit with Josh. I couldn’t take my eyes off the triplets. Helen was hovering around them, fussing, smiling and giggling. Just then, Lucas turned his head and our gazes met. He ran his eyes over me as if checking if I was okay. He nodded once and turned back to his brother and Helen.

I blinked slowly in surprise, before turning back to our teachers.

Mr Scott made a call and they both returned back to the bus.

“Please, everyone should move closer.” Mr Scott said as he clapped to gain everyone’s attention.

“The situation has been reported to the school. The school will take the necessary action to inform the pack and request for an investigation.” He said.

“Then, how do we all leave here?” Tina asked.

“Well, another bus is coming soon. So, you guys should stay put till the bus comes. As soon as the bus arrives, we will leave. So even if you have to, don't wander too far. Thankfully, we've not gone too far, so the bus should arrive very soon.” He replied.

“Is it okay for us to continue this journey? I mean, we don’t know if there are still more rogues hiding somewhere.” Tina asked again, her voice trembling.

A few girls whimpered and agreed with her.

Geez, and we're supposed to be paranormal creatures.

“Jeez, please don’t jinx this trip. And also we have the triplets here and our teachers. So no one dares to hurt us.” Helen said.

Mr Scott cuts in and implores everybody to stop arguing. “We will continue our journey, and there will be no more rogues. Am I clear?” He added.

“Are you sure of this, Mr Scott? What if something else happens?” Tina asked.

Me Scott smiled, even though it looked like a painful grimace and Mrs Pearson saved him from having to reply. "Nothing else will happen, Tina. The pack probably already knows about the attack by now and they'll be sending discreet guards to monitor us. You won't even notice them, so you can all relax and enjoy the trip like you're supposed to. Okay?"

Tina nodded.

With Mrs Pearson's assurance, everybody started taking pictures, giggling and smiling.

I excused myself to pee and when I got back, the bus had arrived.

“Where were you? I have been looking everywhere for you.” Josh said as I approached him where he was standing by the bus.

“I’m so sorry, I had to ease myself.”

“Count yourself lucky that Mrs Pearson asked us not to leave you behind, Olivia. You kept everyone waiting for so long, was it number 2?!” Tina yelled.

Everyone laughed and I rolled my eyes, ignoring them. Josh and I entered the bus and there were only two empty seats left. One was beside Tina and the other one was beside Lucas.

Why is Helen not sitting with him? I would rather sit with Logan or Lucien than sit with Lucas. But I don't want to sit with Tina either, she's basically Helen number 2 and she might talk my ear off.

“Sit, Olivia. We don't have all day, and you already kept us waiting enough," Lucas drawled out without taking his gaze off his phone.

“I’m…” I stammered.

“Fine, you can take the seat beside me and Josh can sit beside Tina,” Lucas said.

Josh went to sit with Tina and I sat with Lucas. I could see the jealous look Helen shot at me as well as the other girls on the bus. I returned Helen's glare, and mouthed, What? He's my mate.

She scoffed and leaned her head on Lucien's shoulder.

The bus moved and I couldn’t wait for us to get to the museum. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves but I wasn’t. Sitting with Lucas was awkward even though he only slept throughout the entire journey. I played with my phone a little and I even messaged Josh to switch his seat with mine.

He sent me a laughing emoji and told me to enjoy my stay with my mate and I could only send him the middle finger emoji. He didn't reply. I looked back to check what he was up to and I saw that he was on his phone smiling.
