The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 106

Erica’s POV

Clutching his chest, Alpha Devin falls to his knees as his tether to the pack is broken. He doesn’t dare to look up from the ground. Ace doesn’t spare his father a second look as he storms upstairs.

My father reaches out his hand for Alpha Devin to take but Devin refuses his help. He slowly gets to his feet and walks out of the front door of the pack house. My father chases after him. Even after everything that has been done to my father, he is still a good man at heart. I know that he chased down Devin to make sure that he is okay. He knows the pain of being banished from a pack.

Bryce and Chris are standing with stunned looks on their faces. Their eyes flicker between the stairs and the front door that their father just left out of.

“We should go after them,” Bryce says but I can tell he isn’t sure whether he is supposed to go after Ace or his father. Chris has the same look of confusion on his face.

“I will go check on Ace,” I say. “Go say goodbye to your father. I know that I wish I would have been given that chance.”

Bryce and Chris engulf me in a hug and race out of the front door of the pack house. I look towards the kitchen and my mother is standing in the doorway with a sad smile on her face. “Go to him,” she whispers.

I saw the look on Ace’s face when he banished his father. It was a mixture of hatred and sadness. As I climb the stairs of the pack house, I try to prepare myself for whatever mood he might be in by the time that I get to him. Ace is usually known to be the level-headed triplet, but he was anything but that when he banished his father.

Standing outside his bedroom I can hear things crashing up against the walls. I know the room is going to be destroyed when I walk in there. Knocking on the door, I don’t wait for an invitation to come in. As I open the door a lamp comes flying at my head. I slam the door just in time to hear the lamp crash into the other side of the door.

Hesitantly, I open the door again and look around the room. Everything is in disarray. His mattress has been flipped off his bed, and the dresser drawers were torn out of the dressers and tossed all over the room. Anything that was glass has been shattered and shards of glass are everywhere.

Ace is sitting in the middle of the destruction that he caused in his room. He is holding a picture to his chest and tears are streaming down his face. Carefully I make my way over to Ace, trying not to step on any of the glass that is scattered throughout the room. Sitting down beside him, he immediately lays his head on my shoulder and breathes in heavily.

I look down at the picture that is still in his hands. It is a family picture. It appears to be on the night of their eighteenth birthday. Chris is standing beside his mother with his arm wrapped tightly around her shoulders. Ace is standing stoically beside his father and Bryce is kneeling in front of the four of them in a ridiculous pose. They all have bright smiles on their faces and look so happy. Then I realize that this was probably the last time that they were completely happy together as a family.

“I am so sorry,” I whisper as I stroke his dark hair. “I didn’t mean to break up your family.”

Ace looks up at me and sniffs. “What do you mean?”

I take the picture from him and hold it out so he can really look at it. “Look how happy you all were before I came into the picture. I ruined everything. Maybe your mother was right to find you all separate mates. Then your family would have stayed together.”

Ace looks around at the destruction in his room and sighs. “You know none of this is your fault,” he says sweetly. “I just lost my temper.”

“But you wouldn’t have had to lose your temper if I would have just stayed away from you three.” Tears are beginning to spring from my eyes. I can feel my emotions beginning to fill the room around us but I am unable to keep them under control. “I ruined your family.”

“Little Fox.” Ace wipes the tears from my cheeks. “My mother and father ruined your family first. It was only a matter of time before the truth came out. Plus, then you would have been mated to that scrawny fucker from the West Pack.”

I wrinkle my nose in disgust as I think about Alpha Felix’s son. “He was not my type,” I say with a small chuckle.

Ace tosses the picture to the side and lifts me into his lap. “Is that so, Little Fox? What exactly is your type?”

Tapping my finger on my chin, I pretend like I am thinking about his question. “Blonde with green eyes,” I say jokingly.

Ace begins to tickle my stomach and I start laughing. “What to try that one more time?” He asks with his blue eyes sparkling.

“Stop,” I breathe out. “Stop, I can’t breathe,” say through bursts of laughter.

Suddenly Bryce and Chris come barrelling in through the bedroom door. Their footsteps crunch on the broken glass that is all over the floor as they quickly make their way over to me.

“What is going on,” Chris asks with an edge to his voice.

“Nothing,” I smile at Bryce and Chris. “I was just cheering up your brother.”

“Was that before or after you destroyed his room,” Bryce laughs.

“This handy work was all me,” Ace jokes. Then a solemn look crosses his face. “Is he gone?”

Bryce and Chris share a tentative look. I know that they are worried about giving him bad news while I am sitting on his lap.

“He is gone,” Chris says as he pulls me off Ace’s lap and to my feet.

Suddenly, black dots evade my vision and I become wobbly on my feet. My legs give out from underneath me and I fall to the ground.
