The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 17

Erica’s POV

“Get off me,” I hiss at Chris and his blue eyes look down on me painfully.

Carefully he removes himself from my body and sits at the edge of the bed with his hands in his lap like a scolded child. Wrapping myself in the blanket, I stand up from the bed and back away towards the door.

“Don’t any of you touch me,” I snarl at them.

“Erica,” Bryce gets up from the bed and tries to come to my side.

“Stay there,” I yell at him.

Bryce freezes in his steps and doesn’t come any closer to me. He raises his hands in the air and sits back on the bed.

“You think after years of torture and abuse, that I am just going to forget it because you are my mates?” I scoff. “You all are delusional.”

“Told you this was a mistake,” Chris says angrily.

“A mistake,” I laugh. “This is a f*****g disaster. What was the Goddess thinking when she paired me with the three of you?”

Reaching behind me I grab the doorknob and fling the door to Ace’s bedroom open. Stepping out of the bedroom, I tighten the blanket over my body and slam the door behind me. I storm down the hallway towards the Omegas quarters of the pack house mumbling to myself about mates and Moon Goddess.

As I turn the corner, I run into something hard. I hit the ground with a thud and the blanket unwraps from around my body, leaving the tattered remains of my dress exposed.

“Are you okay?” Alpha Devin looks down on me with concern.

Standing up, I wrap the blanket back around my body and storm past the Alpha. I continue to mutter to myself as I walk into my bedroom and slam the door behind me.

Dropping the blanket to the ground, I look at the mess of knots that I made last night tying my dress on my body. My fingers fumble with the knots for a few seconds before I grab the scissors from my night stand. I barely have time to cut my dress off my body before there is a subtle knock on my bedroom door. Grabbing my robe from my bed post I cover my body and swing the door to my room open.

“What?” I scream in the face of Alpha Devin.

Alpha Devin flinches a little bit at my tone but doesn’t move from his spot. “Erica,” he says delicately. “Is there something that you need to talk to me about?”

I let out a frustrated sigh. How do you tell someone that you are mated to all three of their sons? “I am fine, Alpha,” I try to sound respectful but I don’t think it is coming across that way.

“I don’t have much experience with girls,” Alpha Devin rubs the back of his neck nervously. “But I can go get Alice.”

“Goddess, Please no,” I spit out recklessly, forgetting momentarily who I am speaking to. “I mean… no thank you.”

Alpha Devin is unable to wipe the concerned look off his face as he wanders farther into my room. “I don’t know what happened to you last night but by the looks of your dress it wasn’t good. I promised you father that I would take care of you.”

“I’m sure you did,” I mumble under my breath.

Alpha Devin shakes his head in disappointment. “I am trying to be understanding, but I cannot help you if you aren’t willing to help yourself.”

“If you want to know what happened last night maybe you should ask your sons,” the words come flying out of my mouth before I can stop them.

A look of shock spreads across Alpha Devin’s face as he looks at the blanket that is pooled on the floor of my bedroom and I know that he recognizes it from his son’s room. Walking over to the blanket he picks it up off the floor and inspects it carefully. He drops it back to the floor and storms out of my bedroom.

I hear his voice screaming through the pack house, “Ace, Bryce, Chris, BOYS! My office NOW!”

I cannot stop the smile that spreads across my lips knowing that the triplets are getting what is coming to them. The scent of hot chocolate is radiating off of my body as I stand in my room and I know that I will not be able to get the smell off of me.

Standing in the small shower, I let the hot water run down my body. I brace my hands up against the wall of the tiny shower and try to wash the scent of the brothers from my skin. The smell of their hot chocolatey scent fills my bathroom as it rinses from my body. I close my eyes and visions of the brothers in only their boxers flash through my mind.

‘You can’t deny that you want them,’ Envy’s sing-song voice chimes in my head.

‘I don’t want them,’ I grumble back, pushing the visions of the scantily clad brothers out of my mind.

‘You can’t deny the mate bond,’ Envy snarls back at me and I cannot believe how quickly she has become attached to them.

‘I won’t accept this bond,’ I argue with her inside of my mind.

‘Then you must reject them,’ she says quietly.

I shut off the water to the shower and quickly get dressed. ‘I will reject them and then we will leave.’ I tell Envy but she is no longer responding to me.

Digging under my bed I pull out the small suitcase that I brought with me to the North Pack. Walking over to the small wardrobe in the corner of the room I throw all of my clothes into the suitcase, not bothering to fold them. Zipping up my suitcase I drag it towards the door and try not to think about what I am going to do.

‘Are you really willing to go rogue just so you don’t have to mated to the triplets,’ Envy finally breaks her silence and speaks to me.

‘You haven’t been around for the past eighteen years,’ I scream in my own mind. ‘They are cruel and uncaring brats.’

‘I have always been here in the back of your mind,’ Envy retorts angrily. ‘And it has been the past ten years at the most.’

‘That makes it better,’ I respond sarcastically. ‘It doesn’t change the fact that just yesterday I was pulling my panties and bras off of light fixtures here in the pack house. It doesn’t change the fact that they called me fat when they saw the size of my panties. The Moon Goddess made a mistake.’

‘The Moon Goddess doesn’t make mistakes,’ Envy’s voice is barely above a whisper.

‘This time she did.’
