I gritted my teeth in frustration as Olivia ignored my call again. Lucas and Lucien laughed at me and I glared at them
“I thought you guys were close. Why is she ignoring your calls?” Lucas said, teasingly.
I glowered at them. “You caused this. If it weren't for you both and the mess you made of things, she wouldn't be ignoring my calls."
“Are you guys quarreling again?” Helen said from where she was seated and sighed, shaking her head like we were a bunch of rambunctious kids she was tired of.
“Alpha Damon has agreed to call Olivia back to the palace, so you have nothing to worry about, Logan. And I think we should have a discussion about my birthday party now. You guys have been focused on other things all day, " she added, before pouting.
“Ohh, we are sorry Helen. We didn't mean to ignore you.” Lucien said.
“Yeah, sorry sweetie. So, what do you want to want from us as your birthday gift?” I asked.
She paused for a while as if she was thinking. “ I want matching rings. We'll all have one.” She finally said.
“Are you a child?” Lucien asked teasingly.
“Why would you request matching rings for your 18th birthday? Don't you want something more? Like… all the girly stuff you like.” Lucas added.
I only smiled at her childish request. “And what else? You don't want anything else?”
She pouted and crossed her arms. “I only want that from you guys, nothing else. Just matching rings with our names inscribed on them.” She said.
“Okay. Consider it done. We will get you the most expensive matching rings ever.” Lucas said.
Helen was so happy as she moved to hug each of us.
“And also I want you guys to put in some words for me when I give an invitation to Olivia.” She said.
“Okay,” Lucien said as though he thought Olivia would listen to a word they say after what they did.
“I’m sure she will be glad she gets to attend your birthday party,” Lucas added.
I snorted inwardly and shook my head.
Helen gave me a concerned look before repeating herself, "I was asking if it's okay for me to stay over at your place tonight, Logan. I have my clothes here, and I didn't inform my father that I'd be spending the night."
I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and nodded, "Of course, Helen. You're always welcome to stay here. Just let your father know where you are, so he doesn't worry."
Helen smiled and gave me a warm hug, "Thanks, Logan. You're the best."
As the evening continued, we discussed Helen's birthday plans, and I tried to be more present and engaged in the conversation. Lucas and Lucien teased me about being so preoccupied, but I brushed off their remarks.
As the night wore on, Helen decided it was time to call her father to let him know she would be staying over. While she was on the phone, I decided to make another attempt to contact Olivia. I sent her a text message, apologizing for any confusion or misunderstanding that might have arisen from Lucas and Lucien's actions earlier in the day. I expressed my hope that she would still consider attending Helen's birthday party.
After a while, Helen returned with a smile, "Dad said it's okay for me to stay over. He knows I'm with you guys, so he's not worried."
We all relaxed and spent the rest of the evening chatting and having a good time. Before going to bed, I checked my phone one last time, but there was still no response from Olivia. I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of longing and concern for her. I hoped that she would eventually forgive me and give me a chance to make things right.
As I lay in bed that night, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease. I realized that even though I had Alpha Damon's assurance that Olivia would be called back to the palace, I needed to take action to mend our strained relationship. Tomorrow was a new day, and I was determined to find a way to reconnect with Olivia and make amends for the mistakes my brothers and I had made.
