The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 141

Bryce’s POV

I took as many of them down as I possibly could but they continued to lunge at her. One right after another. Ripping pieces of her flesh from her body before she could heal. She did not stop fighting until the last rogue fled from the cabin grounds. Only then did she realize that she could rest. Her body fell limply to the ground and she shifted painfully back into her human form.

I lift my nose into the air and inhale deeply. I can still smell the scent of my brother in the air, along with the strange scent from earlier. I kneel down beside Evelynn and swipe the hair from her eyes.

“Just hold on,” I beg of her. “Erica will never forgive me for putting you in danger.”

The crunching of leaves and twigs catches my attention and my eyes flicker towards the sound. Much to my relief, it is just my brother stepping out of the trees with a bundle of blankets in his arms.

He walks quickly to Evelynn’s side and bends down to show her the baby that is wrapped in his arms. They exchange a small set of words with one another but I do not even know what they are saying. My eyes are focused on the screaming bundle that is in Ace’s arms. He looks just like my brothers and me but he has a full head of golden blonde hair just like his mother. He shares our blue eyes, though they are not as bright as those of his twin sister.

I finally pull my eyes away from the baby wrapped in Ace’s arms and look down at Evelynn, just in time to see her take her final breath. I look up at Ace and he has tears falling from his eyes.

“We can’t leave her here,” I say to Ace and he nods to me in agreement.

“She deserves a proper burial,” Ace says as he adjusts our son in his arms.

With great care, I pick up Evelynn’s limp body and carefully place her in the back seat of the car. Turning around, I look at the bodies of dead rogues that litter the ground around the cabin. Guilt rises like bile in the back of my throat. I did all that I could to save her. There were too many rogues.

Ace climbs in the driver’s side of the car and hands me our son. Holding our little boy close to my chest so he doesn’t move around too much while Ace takes the winding back roads at full speed.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” I ask while I bounce our son up and down in my arms.

“We need a b***d test,” Ace says through gritted teeth.

“A b***d test? For what?” I look down at the boy in my arms. There is no denying that he is our son.

“It is just a feeling that I have,” Ace gives me a weird glance out of the corner of his eye.

Shock washes over me. “You don’t think that she switched the babies do you?”

“I wouldn’t put it past her,” Ace growls. “This feels too easy.”

“Easy?” I scoff so loudly that the little baby in my arms begins to cry. “You call that easy? If had been easy then Evelynn would still be alive.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Ace says as he runs his hand down his face. “I just meant that whoever that woman was handed over the baby didn’t put up much of a fight.”

“Would you have let her live if she didn’t?” I roll my eyes at him. “She was probably scared for her life.”

“We are still getting a b***d test,” Ace growls. “I need to be sure.”

We pull into the hospital parking lot and Ace pulls right up to the front door.

“I don’t think we can park here,” I say with a smirk on my face.

Ace looks at me like I have lost my mind. “We are the Alphas of this f*****g pack,” Ace snarls. “I can park wherever I want. Now hand me the baby.”

I look between Ace and the baby in my arms and hold the baby out of reach. There is no way that I am handing a baby over to Ace when he is in such a bad mood.

“I can take care of the baby,” I say quietly.

Ignoring Ace’s grumbles, I get out of the car with the bundle held tightly in my arms. I make my way into the hospital with Ace following quickly on my heels. As I make my way to the front desk, I pause for a moment. How do we know that we can trust this hospital?

Ace climbs in the driver’s side of the car and hands me our son. Holding our little boy close to my chest so he doesn’t move around too much while Ace takes the winding back roads at full speed.

Ace bumps into my back and I stumble forward several steps. “What the hell?” I growl as I cradle my son’s head in my hand.

Ace gestures for me to move toward the front desk but I shake my head back and forth.

“What is your problem?” Ace pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration.

I stand next to my brother and grit my teeth. Several people are looking at us curiously and I know that they are wondering what is going on.

“What if we can’t trust them,” I whisper to Ace.

Ace looks at me with his eyebrows furrowed together and then it looks like a light goes off in his head. I nod my head toward the door of the hospital, trying to indicate that we need to leave. As if on cue, the baby in my arms starts screaming loudly.

The nurse from behind the front desk rushes to my side and tries to look at my son but I hold him out of her view. “Alphas,” she says with a slight nod of her head. “Please let me help you.” She holds out her arms for my son but I take a step away from her.

“This child does not leave my sight,” I say through gritted teeth.

Ace steps between myself and the nurse. “We need a paternity test,” he says to her in a low whisper. “And we need to be discrete.”

The nurse looks at me with a blank expression before she motions for us to follow her. We follow the nurse through the winding hallways of the hospital until we find ourselves in a back room laboratory. She waves her hand for us to come inside the room and closes the door behind her.

Before she has a chance to speak, Ace slams her against the wall and pins her down with his arm. “Look,” he says in a threatening tone. “We are choosing to trust you. If you betray us we will kill you. Do you understand?”

The nurse nods her head quickly up and down. “You can trust me,” she whispers with fear in her eyes. “I swear it.”

Ace releases her from the wall and glowers in her direction. “Run the test.”
