The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 137

Erica’s POV

I sit in the back seat of the car on one side of the car seat and Bryce on the other side. Raven is tucked and strapped into the car seat and sleeping soundly.

Her dark eyelashes are fanned against her cheeks and they flutter slightly in her sleep. I marvel at how beautiful she is. She is the perfect mix of the triplets and myself. The only thing that is out of place is her dark, almost black hair.

I have been asleep for most of her short life but she still euddles into me when I hold her. She is equally content with each of the triplets. It doesn’t matter which one of us is holding her she is quiet. She often looks up at us with her bright blue eyes and they already seem to have wisdom behind them. Deep down I wonder if Alice took the wrong child

The oracle said that one of the twins would be blessed by the Moon Goddess but she did not say which one. Of course, Alice would assume that the only werewolf that could rule the four packs as one would be a male, but what if she is wrong?

Ace pulls up to the pack house at the East Pack and a knot forms in the pit of my stomach. I know that I said I wanted to talk with Amber but now I am not so sure. Ace opens up my door and helps me out. I am still wobbly on my legs from the amount of wolfsbane that was injected into my body.

Amber is waiting for me on the front porch of the pack house. She is dressed in a tight navy blue bodycon dress that fits her like a glove. Her gorgeous red hair is pulled up into a messy bun and loose tendrils hang down and frame her face.

I let out a frustrated sigh. Amber looks amazing as usual.

I quickly brush my hands against Ace’s shirt that I am wearing as a dress. I still have a bit of a stomach from carrying the twins and my boobs are straining against Ace’s shirt. My hair hasn’t been washed in weeks and I am sure that I smell terrible.

“Are you sure that you want to do this?” Ace asks and I know that my insecurities must be filling the air around me.

“I am,” I say quietly. “But I want to shower and get dressed first.”

Ace raises his eyebrows and smirks at me. “She will never be as beautiful as you.” I slap Ace on the shoulder playfully and giggle. “You have to say that. You are my mate.”

“I don’t have to say it,” Ace laughs. “But it is smarter if I do. Now run inside and take a shower. We will take care of Raven.”

I rush up to the door of the pack house and past Amber. She opens her mouth to speak to me but I hold up my hand to stop her. “I will be right back,” I spit out quickly. “I am gross.”

Amber promptly closes her mouth and nods with understanding. There is a look of pity in her eyes that I would rather not see ever again.

I make my way up to the guest bedroom and find that all of my things are still here from many months ago when we first arrived here. It is like stepping into the past. Everything is exactly where I left it. Nothing has been moved. My hands immediately cradle my stomach and I wish that I knew then what I know now.

“Hindsight is always twenty-twenty,” Amber’s voice comes from behind me.

Shaking away the tears that had formed in my eyes, I take a step away from Amber. Idon’t fully trust her. Amber doesn’t make a move to come closer to me.

She stands in the doorway with her eyes trained on the fleor in front of her. It is like she is unable to look at me.

“I said I would be right back,

,” I say a little harshly.

“Iknow,” Amber says sheepishly. “But the triplets are pacing around downstairs growling at me and I was beginning to feel uncomfortable.”

“They have a tendency to do that,” I laugh.

“I know what you want to talk to me about,” Amber says quickly.

“And,” I say with my arms crossed over my chest.

“I don’t know where Alpha Jet and Malinda went. But I know that Jet has her brainwashed.” Amber begins. “When Bryce came back from the oracle with claims that the oracle was giving out false readings, Malinda didn’t want to hear it. She was told by the oracle that she didn’t have a fated mate because she was meant to be with Jet. Just like I was told that I was meant to be with Bryce.” Amber’s face turns bright red as she talks about Bryce. I know that she feels embarrassed about how things happened.

“Do you know where my son is?” My voice cracks with fear as I ask my question.

“I don’t,” Amber says as she looks at me in the eyes. I know that she is telling me the truth.

“Thank you,” I sigh as I turn away from Amber and head towards the bathroom.

“I do know that Alice doesn’t plan on raising the baby herself,” Amber spits out from behind me.

I spin around where I stand and look at Amber in shock. “What do you mean?” Amber swallows hard before she continues. “I overheard a conversation when Alice first came here after the triplets banished her from the North Pack. She said that she didn’t want the baby to live in hiding its whole life. So she found a family to adopt him. One that no one would expect.”

“What family?” I ask desperately.

I take several steps forward and take Amber’s hands in my own, but she refuses to look me in the eyes once again. “That is all I heard,” she says with guilt in her voice.

“Boys!” I scream out of the door.

The sound of the brothers bounding up the stairs sounds like thunder inside the pack house. Ace and Chris appear in the doorway behind Amber and they both look like they are ready to kill her. Carefully I place myself between Amber and the brothers. Amber didn’t have to tell me anything and I will make sure that she is protected for giving me the information that she has.

“Amber has just given me some valuable information,” I say carefully. “We need to find your mother before she adopts our son out to strangers.”
