The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 125

Erica’s POV

Alice reaches around Rex and wraps her cold hand around my free wrist and yanks me toward her. The silver from the handcuffs around my other wrist bites into my skin painfully. I hiss through my teeth painfully as I try to steady myself between the two.

“Uncuff her now,” Alice growls at Rex. I can feel her trying to use her Luna aura but it is weakening. Rex doesn’t even bow his head to her in submission.

“No,” Rex says confidently. “I don’t think I will.”

Suddenly the smell of rogues engulfs my senses and I instantly know that we are surrounded. I turn back and look at Rex and he has a murderous look in his eyes.

Not wanting to be in the middle of a fight between the two of them, I plead with Rex. “I think we should listen to her.”

Rex snarls at me before he turns his attention back to Alice. “You lied to us,” Rex yells at Alice. “You told us you had nothing but respect for rogues. But you hate us, don’t you?”

Alice begins to cackle loudly. Her voice echoes through the trees and the birds scatter from the branches. “How stupid could you be?” Alice points one of her long fingers in my direction. “She would say anything to get you on her side.”

Rex turns back to me with a wounded look on his face. “Did you lie to me?”

Fear begins to pool in my stomach as I stand between Rex and Alice. I didn’t lie to Rex but if I tell him that Alice will surely have me punished. Maybe if I lie to Rex, Alice will spare me the punishment that she has been threatening me with since I got here.

“Go ahead,” Alice sneers at me. “Tell him the truth and maybe I will spare you the punishment you so sorely deserve.”

Rex’s eyes are swimming with tears. I know that he desperately wanted to believe what I had told him. If I tell him that I lied I lose my only chance at an ally in this hell that I am living in.

Alice tightens her long fingers around my wrist and her nails dig into my skin. I look down at her arm and she has partially shifted. Her long werewolf claws are puncturing my skin. It occurs to me that it doesn’t matter what I say. I will not be making it out of this situation alive. I just have to hang on long enough for the triplets to find me.

So, I do the only thing that I can to preserve my safety. Turning to Rex, I look him in the eyes and lie. “I lied,” I choke on the words as they come out of my mouth.

Rex tries to back away from me but he forgets that we are still connected by the handcuffs. As he steps backward, my arm is pulled in his direction and I fall to my knees in the middle of the forest.

Alice smiles as she watches the predicament that I am in. “What should his punishment be for believing your lies,” she laughed crazily.

“He doesn’t need to be punished,” I cry out in fear. “It was my fault.”

“You will be dealt with in good time,” Alice says not taking her eyes off of Rex. “Now how should he be punished?” She asks me again.

I try to climb to my feet but without the use of my arms, I am pinned to the ground on my knees. “Please don’t punish him,” I beg. “I won’t try and convince him of anything ever again.”

“It is a little late for that isn’t it.” Alice has an evil smirk spread across her lips.

Alice lets go of my arm and it falls limply to my side. B***d is rushing from the puncture wounds on my wrist. With the silver cuff around my wrist, I am not healing as quickly as I should, or at all. I cradle my arm against my body but I do not try to get to my feet.

I watch in horror as Alice walks behind Rex. She places her hands on his shoulders and digs her claws into his flesh. He is brought to his knees under the pain that she is causing him.

“Luna,” he hisses through his teeth. “I will not be led astray again. I know now what a liar this b***h is.”

I lower my head in shame. “I didn’t lie,” I mumble to myself, thinking that Alice and Rex couldn’t hear me.

“You will never learn,” Alice growls at me. Rearing back her hand she slaps me across the face. I feel her claws cut into the skin on my cheeks. “You will become obedient,” she says as she slaps me again.

My head whips to the side. I want nothing more than to glare up at Alice but I am too scared for my babies to fight back. “Yes Luna,” I say through gritted teeth.

“That’s a smart girl,” Alice says as she places her fingertips under my chin and tilts my head upwards. Shaking my head, I refuse to meet her gaze. I am ashamed of what I just did.

Alice doesn’t seem to care about my inner struggle as she turns her attention back to Rex. “Now what to do with you?”

I can feel the b***d rolling down my cheeks and I know better than to open my mouth again. With a snap of her fingers, two dirty rogue werewolves come out from behind the trees, already in wolf form.

I give one final look at Rex, who has a look of fear spread across his face. Alice bends down and whispers something in his ear. His eyes widen as he listens to her words. I know that this will be the last time that I see Rex alive.

Alice steps away from Rex and moves to lunge at Alice and accidentally drags me across the forest floor. “You will get what is coming to you, you b***h,” he snarls in her direction.

“Not before you get what is coming to you,” Alice says with a smile on her lips. She turns to the two wolves that are foaming at the mouth. “Don’t hurt the girl,” she commands them.

Before I have a chance to think the two rogue wolves have jumped on Rex and are tearing him limb from limb. My arm is pulled from its socket as Rex tries to protect himself. I close my eyes and turn away from the c*****e that is in front of me, but I am constantly pulled into the direction of the fight. Soon my arm is free and I look to see Rex’s dismembered arm hanging from the cuff connected to mine.

Vomit rises in my throat as I try to scramble away from what is left of Rex’s body. I try my best to hold down my vomit but I can’t and I puke all over the ground in front of me.

The two rogue wolves bound off into the forest leaving Rex’s body behind them. Alice walks over to me and releases me from the cuffs that keep me attached to Rex’s arm.

“That will teach you to befriend my rogues,” she hisses at me. “Now get up and follow me back into the cabin.”

I spare one last look at the c*****e on the forest floor before I follow Alice back into the cabin. I will not make this mistake again.
