The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 167

Leo’s POV

“Hello, brothers,” Alpha Ace says louder than necessary and I see him grinning at me through the rearview mirror. “I have some news. Our Little Bird found her mate.”

I can’t help but g***n loudly at Alpha Ace’s words. So, this was his plan all along. He wanted to get me alone so he and his brothers could interrogate me.

“Was that him?” One of the brothers asks over the speaker in the car.

Alpha Ace chuckles loudly. “It was. I don’t think he appreciates me ambushing him with a phone call home.”

I straighten up in the back seat and inhale deeply. “It will be a pleasure to meet you all in person,” I say formally.

“He sounds uptight,” the other brother says. “Is he uptight?”

“On the contrary,” Alpha Ace laughs. “He is a bit like you were Bryce.”

There is a rumbling of growls that come from the other end of the line. “Exactly, how is he like me?” Alpha Bryce says loudly.

“Oh, you know,” Alpha Ace begins to laugh harder. “A bit of a jokester and a ladies’ man.”

“Son of a b***h,” Alpha Bryce growls loudly. “I knew my past would come to bite me in the a*s one day.”

Blush spreads across my cheeks and I hide my head behind my hands. I have never been so embarrassed in my whole life.

“I am Raven’s Papa, Alpha Chris,” Alpha Chris’s voice booms in the car. “What are your intentions with my daughter?”

“Intentions?” I say stupidly and all three of the Alphas begin to growl.

“You do plan on settling down now that you have met your mate, don’t you?” Alpha Chris asks.

I am suddenly grateful that his conversation is happening over the phone. Alpha Ace is intimidating enough. I cannot imagine having to stare down three of them.

Clearing my throat awkwardly, I try to find my voice. “I do plan on settling down if that is what your daughter wishes.”

“Why wouldn’t she wish to be with her mate?” Alpha Bryce chimes in.

“We didn’t get off on the best foot,” I tell them the truth. “She isn’t sure she wants to be associated with someone like me.”

I hear Alpha Bryce and Alpha Chris suck in a sharp breath and see Alpha Ace shaking his head in disappointment. Ashley on the other hand is smiling from ear to ear in the front seat. Clearly, she is enjoying the drama.

“What did you do?” Alpha Bryce laughs but I don’t have a chance to respond before Alpha Ace does.

“He laughed at her when she fell up the stairs and then he allowed his Beta to throw her a birthday party,” Alpha Ace fills them in.

“Oof,” Alpha Chris says with a hint of amusement in his voice. “You really dug yourself in a hole. Raven isn’t very trusting, to begin with.”

“How was I supposed to know that she was my mate,” I grumble, crossing my arms over my chest.

“What do you plan to do to win her back?” Alpha Ace asks as he looks at me through the rearview mirror.

“How am I supposed to win back something that I never had,” I snap at them. “And for the record, I didn’t know my Beta had planned a party for her.”

“None of that is helping your cause,” Alpha Chris says in a frustrated tone.

Running my hands through my hair, I try not to scream at the veteran Alphas that seem to want to help me out.

“Now,” Alpha Chris says sternly. “What are your intentions with my daughter?”

“I don’t have any,” I admit. “Right now I just want to get to know her. She had a vision and basically refused to talk things out with me.”

“A vision,” two of the brothers say at once. “What kind of vision?”

“That doesn’t really matter, does it?” I say as another wave of embarrassment washes over me.

“Oh, it matters,” Ashley says as she turns around and gives me an accusing look.

“Why wouldn’t she wish to be with her mate?” Alpha Bryce chimes in.

“It does matter,” Alpha Bryce says quietly. “Raven is… what is the word I am looking for… traditional.”

Leaning my head up against the car window, I sigh a little. “She is never going to accept me after what she saw.”

“What did she see?” Ashley demands to know.

“I think you should probably tell us,” Alpha Chris butts in. “Maybe we can help you out of this situation that you have created for yourself.”

“I know what she saw,” Alpha Ace chimes in with a smirk spread across his face.

“You knew this whole time and you kept your mouth shut,” I can hear the pout in Alpha Bryce’s voice. “I knew I should have been the dad to come along on the trip.”

“Yep,” Alpha Ace laughs. “She described him as a tramp.”

All three of the Alphas begin to laugh uncontrollably. “You are f****d,” Alpha Bryce begins to laugh. “She is never going to forgive you.”

“Nope,” Alpha Ace reiterates.

“If she is never going to forgive me then why did you insist on me coming along,” I shout at Alpha Ace.

“To make sure that you don’t step out on the mate bond while she is making up her mind on whether to accept you or not,” Alpha Ace tells me with a smile.

“I wasn’t planning on stepping out on the mate bond,” I tell them honestly. “I just want to get a chance to know her before she rejects me.”

“Awe,” Alpha Chris says sarcastically. “If you want our daughter you are going to have to prove that you are worthy of her and so far you are proving to be nothing but a p***y.”

“Whoa,” I shout. “I am not a p***y.”

“Then f*****g prove it,” Alpha Chris says and the other end of the phone goes silent.

“Did they just hang up on us?” I ask curiously.

“Yep,” Alpha Ace says. “If I had to guess I would say that you didn’t make a great first impression.”
