The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 170

Raven’s POV

Running a brush through my hair, I try to stall going downstairs for as long as possible. After what happened between my father and grandfather last night I don’t want to face what is waiting for me downstairs.

A knock on the door makes me g***n loudly. They are done waiting for me. “Come in,” I yell out and Elise peeks her head inside my door and offers me a shy smile.

“Luna Queen,” she says as she bares her neck to me in submission. “They are waiting for you downstairs.”

“I figured,” I sigh. “I will be ready in just a moment.”

Running the brush through my hair one last time, I flick my dark locks behind my shoulders and head to the closest. Dropping the robe from around my shoulders, I step into a black dress that I had picked out for today’s trip. Reaching behind me I try to zip myself up but I cannot. Before I can call out for help Elise is behind me zipping me up.

“Thank you,” I say sweetly. “How do I look?”

“Like a Queen,” Elise says with a smile on her face.

“Ugh,” I g***n as I place a silver locket around my neck. “Please don’t call me that,” I beg of her. “Call me Raven.”

“I couldn’t possibly,” Elise stutters the words. “I am just an Omega.”

“Don’t look down on yourself,” I say tilting Elise’s head up to look into my eyes. “You cannot help what you were born into. I would like for us to be friends.”

Elise clears her throat awkwardly. “If we are going to be friends, I think there is something that you should know.”

I eye Elise suspiciously. “What is that?”

“Before you came along I used to sleep with Alpha Leo,” Elise spits out and she takes several steps away from me so she is out of my reach.

“Did he force you to sleep with him because he is the Alpha?” I ask.

Elise blushes bright red and I know the truth. She slept with Leo because she wanted to. “He didn’t force me into anything,” Elise says shyly.

Rose is growling in the back of my mind at the thought of someone else sleeping with my mate.

‘Settle down,’ I roll my eyes at my wolf. ‘We already knew that he was sleeping with other women.’

‘But it was different when we didn’t know the woman,’ Rose growls.

‘I thought that we were going to reject him anyway?’ I ask Rose.

‘I thought that we were going to give him a chance?’ Rose counters and I g***n out loud.

Pushing Rose to the side, I focus my attention back on Elise. She is looking at the ground with tears falling from her eyes.

“Elise,” I sigh. “It is okay. This changes nothing between us.”

“Really?” Elise says with a hesitant smile on her lips. “I swear if I would have known that you were his mate…”

Holding my hand up, I stop Elise from talking. “I don’t want to know the details…” I begin but then I stop myself, maybe I do want to know the details.

Chewing on my bottom l*p I think about how much information I want to know. My mother and fathers had always avoided ‘the talk.’ I don’t know much about s*x besides what I had heard from Kieran’s girlfriend Gabbie, which wasn’t much. Kieran insisted on keeping me in the dark about the opposite s*x as well.

“Luna Queen,” Elise says quietly. “I don’t love him or anything. It was just a way to fill the time.”

Glancing toward the door to my room, I quickly walk over and flip the lock. Elise begins to shake uncontrollably. Ignoring the scent of her fear in the air, I grab her by the hand and drag her to my bed. “What is it like?” I ask her.

Elise scoots away from me on the bed and looks at me with a shocked look on her face. “What is what like?” She asks innocently.

Looking around the room, I lean in close to Elise and whisper, “s*x. What is it like?”

Elise yelps out in surprise and scrambles off the bed. “I don’t think I am the one to have this conversation with,” she says in a hurried voice. “They are waiting for us downstairs.”

“Please,” I grab hold of Elise’s hands and pull her back on the bed. “No one will have this conversation with me. Not even my parents.”

Elise’s eyes soften and she willingly sits down beside me. “You’ve never?”

I shake my head no. “I have never even kissed a boy.”

“What!?” Elise squeals. “You are eighteen. Surely you have had a boyfriend.”

Once again, I shake my head no. “I was never allowed. The closest I have had to a boyfriend is Warren,” I whisper. “But we never so much as held hands. No one has been allowed to touch me. So, please,” I beg. “What is it like?”

Adjusting herself on the bed, Elise refuses to meet my gaze. “It is difficult to explain,” she begins. “The first time isn’t much fun. It can actually be quite painful.”

I swallow the lump that is forming in the back of my throat. “Painful?” My voice squeaks.

“But only the first couple of times,” Elise says urgently. “After that, it becomes more fun. Especially if you are with someone like Alpha Leo. He isn’t a selfish lover if you know what I mean.”

I c**k my head in confusion. “I don’t know what you mean,” I admit with embarrassment flooding my body.

Crossing her legs underneath her, Elise lets out a sigh. “There is more than just s*x.”

Flopping myself back onto the bed, I cover my eyes with my hands. “What do you mean there is more than just s*x?”

“There is foreplay,” Elise laughs. “It normally happens before s*x. It normally involves… other body parts.”

Uncovering one of my eyes I look at Elise and I know that the look of shock is written all over my face. “Other body parts? Like which ones?”

Elise stifles a laugh with her hand before she continues. “Like fingers and tongues.”

“Tongues like for kissing?” I ask innocently.

Letting out a long sigh, Elise gives me a pitiful look. “You are too innocent for Leo.”

I sit straight up in the bed and glare at Elise. “What is that supposed to mean?”

“Forgive me,” Elise quickly recovers. “I didn’t mean it in a bad way. Back to tongues.” She says deflecting from her previous statement. “Tongues aren’t just for kissing. They can be used on more private areas for pleasure.”

I scrunch up my nose in disgust. “I am not putting my mouth anywhere near his… his… his thingy.”

“I think you may change your mind but that is okay. You can always stroke him with your hand,” Elise giggles.

“How would I do that?” I ask cluelessly.

Elise holds out her hand and I lay my hand in hers. Grabbing my wrist Elise begins to stroke up and down my arm, giving it a little squeeze here and there. My eyes widen with realization as she demonstrates what I am supposed to be doing to his thing.

“Now you try?” Elise says as she holds her hand out for me. Clumsily I try to recreate the motions that she showed me. “You can squeeze harder,” Elise instructs me. “You won’t break it.”

“I can break it!” I screech and Elise cannot stop the laughter that is bubbling in her chest.

“I said ‘You won’t break it’,” she laughs and I cannot help but giggle along with her.

Suddenly a knock on the door stops our fun as my father’s voice booms from the other side. “What are you two doing in there?”

“Nothing,” Elise and I both yell out at the same time.

I can hear my father sigh angrily through the door. “Well, whatever it is you need to stop and come downstairs. Alpha Harry is waiting for you.”
