The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 13

Erica’s POV

Bryce walks out of my room and gently shuts the door behind him. Reaching up I touch my lips with the tips of my fingers and I can still feel the tingles that Bryce’s k**s left on my mouth. I am stuck between excitement and anger. I just had my first k**s and, frankly, it was amazing. But it was with one of the three people that I despise on this earth. Anger rises like bile in my throat as I think about how Bryce took advantage of me. How dare he k**s me without my permission?

‘One day you may not mind him kissing you,’ the little voice in my head sounds off again.

Closing my eyes tightly I try to make the voice in my head disappear but no matter what I do the voice will not shut up.

‘I wish you would stop trying to shut me out. We are one now,’ the voice protests against me.

The sound of the party that is in full swing in the backyard is loud in my bedroom. Unable to help myself, I look out my window and my eyes zero in on Ace and Chris standing in the middle of the crowd surrounded by she-wolves. An unfamiliar wave of jealousy washes over me as I watch the women paw at the two brothers. I don’t understand what is going on with me lately.

‘It is natural to be protective over what is yours,’ the voice inside my head echoes loudly.

‘Would you shut up,’ I hiss at the voice inside of my head. ‘The triplets don’t belong to me.’

‘We will see about that,’ the voice says as it falls back into the recesses of my mind.

The moonlight shines through the window and suddenly the air in my room feels too thick and the dress on my body feels too tight. I have got to get out of this room. Flinging the door to my bedroom open I race to the front door of the pack house. I look around myself making sure that no one is watching me leave. I am not supposed to leave the pack house on my own.

Quickly I open the front door and close it quietly behind me. Slipping around the side of the house, I make sure that I keep my distance from the party that is being held in the backyard. The moon is rising higher in the sky as I continue on my way into the forest. For some reason I keep looking up at the sky, only to be frustrated by the canopy of the trees blocking my view of the moon. The farther I travel into the forest the more desperate I become to find an opening in the trees so I can see the moon.

Once the moon has reached its peak a sharp pain radiates through my spine. Falling to the ground I scream out in pain. It feels like every bone in my body is catching on fire and breaking all at once. My skin begins to stretch and pull against the tight bodycon dress. White fur begins to sprout all over my body. Oh my Goddess, I am having my first shift.

Pain continues to radiate through my body as I lay on the ground, screaming for the shift to stop. Just when I think that I cannot take anymore of the pain it begins to subside. I open my eyes and it is like I am looking through a pair of eyes that are not my own. All of my senses seem to be heightened. Everything looks sharper and I can hear the slightest sounds. I try to get to my feet but I no longer have control over my body.

‘It is nice to meet you,’ the voice in my head sounds louder than ever.

‘Are you my wolf?’ I respond to the voice.

‘I am,’ the wolf says as she gets to her feet. ‘My name is Envy.’

‘Hello, Envy,’ I say with the brightest smile across my face. ‘I thought I was without a wolf.’

‘White wolves take longer to manifest,’ Envy explains to me. ‘You are special. We are special.’

‘We are white?’ I gasp out in shock and Envy circles her tail as if she is chasing it so I can see what color it is. ‘This is impossible. I am nothing more than an Omega.’

‘Now you are an Omega,’ Envy growls loudly in my head. ‘You are of Beta b***d and don’t let anyone treat you any differently.’

‘We cannot let anyone see us,’ I tell Envy. ‘Not now while we are considered a rogue Omega.’

A loud howl in the distance lets me know that the pack run has started and that they are only about a mile away.

‘We have to shift back,’ I tell Envy in a panic.

I am expecting Envy to argue with me but she begins to release control back to me. Once again my bones begin to feel like they are on fire. Envy howls out in pain as claws retract back into my fingertips and my bones shift and change. Before I realize what is happening I am laying almost naked on the forest floor.

I am exhausted as I sit up on the ground. My dress is ripped to shreds and I try to tie the pieces together to cover myself as I stumble back through the forest. My vision is hazy as I try to make my way back to the pack house. The sound of the wolves running in the distance is a constant reminder that I need to get back to the pack house as fast as I can. As I try to run through the forest, the bark and twigs of the trees bite up against my skin. Finally the trees disappear and the pack house is standing in front of me.

Limping, from running through the forest with no shoes, I breathlessly make my way through the back door of the pack house. I run in the opposite way of my room and head towards Ashley’s room. I don’t want to be alone tonight.

My vision continues to get hazier and hazier as I run through the hallway. My legs become weak under my weight and I collapse to my knees right in front of Ace’s room. I attempt to crawl the rest of the way to Ashley’s room but my body is too weak. My body buckles in on itself and I fall to the ground. I cry out in pain just before dark spots fill my vision and the world around me fades away.
