The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 129

Chris’s POV

Sitting in the back of the car with Erica in my arms, I try to ignore the amount of b***d that is covering her body. I hold her close to my body, trying to give her some of my body heat. Her temperature seems to be dropping by the minute.

“Stay with us, Little Fox,” I whisper as I bed down and k**s her on the forehead.

The tingles of the mate bond still linger on my lips but they are weaker than they have ever been. Erica’s head rolls from side to side with every bump Ace hits as he speeds down the Mountain Road.

“How is she doing?” Bryce asks over his shoulder. He has our daughter cradled to his chest trying to calm her screaming.

“She is fading fast,” I yell over the screaming. “How much longer until we get to the hospital?”

“Just a few more minutes,” Ace says as he whips the car onto the main highway. The sound of tires screeching behind us lets me know that Ace cut off several cars.

“How is the baby?” I ask Bryce.

Bryce sticks his finger in his ear and wiggles it around. “Loud,” he replies. His words lighten the mood in the car just a little as Ace and I both chuckle.

Ace cuts off a couple more cars as he weaves in and out of traffic before he takes the exit to the hospital. I hold onto Erica to make sure that she doesn’t move too much.

Ace pulls into the emergency room entrance of the hospital and races inside to get help. Within seconds five nurses are running out of the hospital with Ace leading the way.

As Ace opens the back door, a few of the nurses take a step backward and cover their mouths with their hands. A large male nurse pushes his way forward and reaches his arms out for my mate. I look down at her near-lifeless body and I don’t want to give her up. I don’t want this to be the last moment that I have with her.

“I promise to take care of her, Alpha,” the male nurse says quietly, and I hand Erica over.

I watch helplessly as the male nurse carries my mate into the hospital. I climb out of the car and look and Bryce holding our pup close to his chest growling at the nurses that are trying to take her from him. Ace walks around the car and places his hand on Bryce’s shoulder.

“You have to let the nurses take her,” I say to Bryce. “We can lose them both.”

Bryce’s eyes widen in shock. “We aren’t going to lose either one of them,” he growls at me.

“Then let the nurses take the baby,” Ace says carefully.

Bryce looks down at the baby in his arms and snuggles her into his chest. “Daddy will be waiting for you as soon as they are done looking at you.”

One of the nurses holds out her arms for our freshly born pup and Bryce reluctantly hands her over. I wrap my arm around Bryce’s shoulder, and Ace wraps his arm around him on the other side. We stand together as we watch our mate and our pup disappear inside the hospital.

“We should go inside to wait,” Ace says, and Bryce quickly agrees with him. But there is something else on my mind.

“You two go ahead,” I say with a growl in my voice. “There is something that I want to take care of first.”

“What are you going to do?” Ace asks me with a raised eyebrow.

“Just going to visit Alpha Jet,” I admit.

“Don’t do anything foolish,” Bryce glares at me. “We don’t need a war right now.”

I pause before I get into the car and look at my brothers. I don’t know if I can promise them that I won’t kill Alpha Jet. Looking down at my clothes I am covered in my mate’s b***d and it only fuels my anger. “I am not making any promises.”

“Let’s be fair,” Ace tries to reason with me. “He led us in the right direction we just didn’t follow through.”

“That just confirms that he knew where she was the whole time,” I growl at my brothers.

My brothers share a concerned look with one another and their eyes glaze over.

“Don’t talk about me through the mind link!” I scream at them both.

Ace and Bryce stop talking through the link and go rigid.

“We just think that if you are going to challenge Alpha Jet, we should be there with you,” Ace says with a sad look on his face.

“Right,” Bryce chimes in. “I can’t lose my mate, my pup, and my brother all in the same night.”

“Come inside with us,” Ace pleads. “You should be here when she wakes up.”

“She will need all of us to heal,” Bryce chimes in. “We shouldn’t be leaving her side.”

Anger toward my brothers is beginning to make my head hurt. “Did you not listen to her last words to us?” I scream at both of them. “There were two babies and our mother kidnapped the boy. Erica begged us to look for him.”

“She also thought she would be dead by the time we reached her,” Ace screams back at me. “We have a chance to not lose her and we need to be together in order to do that.”

Before I have a chance to argue further with my brothers the male nurse that took Erica from my arms runs back out of the hospital. “We need b***d,” he interrupts us. “And we need a lot.” The male nurse runs back into the hospital without waiting to see if we are following him or not.

Neither of us says another word as we race into the hospital behind the male nurse. The nurse glances over his shoulder to make sure that we are following him. “She has lost a lot of b***d,” he tells us, “but we think we can stabilize her if she gets an immediate transfusion.”

“I’ll go first,” I say as I roll up my sleeves. My brothers give me an odd look. It is as if they know what I am planning and that is to visit Alpha Jet when I am done here.
