The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 36

Erica’s POV

Ace let me know that he had mind linked his brothers to let them know that we were on the way back to the pack house. My leg bounced the whole way home. I had to admit that I was worried that Bryce and Chris were going to be angry with me for spending the night with Ace.

I hold my breath as we pull up to the pack house. Both Bryce and Chris are waiting on the front porch shuffling impatiently from side to side. Both of them have anxious looks on their faces. Ace barely has time to put his car in park before they are both at my door fighting over who is going to open it.

Chris wins the fight to open the door but Bryce shoves him out of the way to help me out of the car. As soon as my feet hit the ground Bryce has me wrapped in his arms and places a k**s on my lips.

“Goddess, I missed you,” he says when he breaks away from the k**s.

I want to laugh it off and tell him that I was only gone for a night but I find myself telling him, “I missed you too.”

Chris grabs my hand and pulls me from his brother’s arms. “I missed you more,” he says as he holds my body close to his.

I press my lips to his and give him a k**s on the lips. “I missed you too.”

Bryce and Chris look at Ace and stick their tongues out at him. “We told you that she would miss us,” Bryce says as he throws me over his shoulder and carries me into the pack house.

“Bryce,” I scream. “Put me down.”

“Not until you take a shower,” he grumbles. “You smell just like my brother.”

I punch my hands against his back playfully and squeal. “Put me down.”

“I agree with Bryce,” Chris says as he comes running up the stairs beside us. “You smell too much like Ace. You need a shower.”

Ace just shrugs his shoulders as he follows up the steps behind us. Realizing that this is a fight that I am not going to win, I prop my head up on my hands and try not to let the b***d rush to my head.

The triplets are laughing and joking as we ascend the stairs when suddenly they freeze at the top of the stairs. I cannot see what is going on but I hear a scoff that I know could only come from Luna Alice. Bryce tightens his grip around my legs making sure that my skirt is down and not showing the sexy panties that I have on underneath them.

“What is going on?” Luna Alice’s voice sounds offended.

Bryce carefully sets me down on my feet and I straighten my dress. “We were helping Erica to her bedroom,” Bryce says with a huge smile spread across his face.

“I am sure her legs work fine,” Luna Alice grumbles in my direction. “Don’t they, Erica?”

“Yes, Luna,” I say as I bare my neck to her in submission. I might be the future Luna of this pack but until the brothers mark me I am nothing more than a rogue. Lower than an Omega.

An evil grin spreads across Luna Alice’s face as she looks at me. “She can walk herself back to the Omega quarters.”

Chris steps in front of me and a low growl erupts from his chest. “She will not be sleeping in the Omega quarters. She is our mate.”

“Until she is marked and mated she is nothing more than a rogue,” Luna Alice sneers in my direction.

I can feel hot tears beginning to fill my eyes at her words. I know that they are the truth but it doesn’t make them any easier to hear.

“I have offered her my room,” Chris says with his head held high.

“And just where will you sleep?” Luna Alice says with a look of disgust on her face. “I will not have you all sleeping together under my roof.”

“For your information,” Chris hisses at his mother. “I plan on sleeping with Ace or Bryce. But it shouldn’t matter if we are planning on sleeping with Erica. She is our mate. We are all adults.”

“You are barely adults,” she yells at her sons. Luna Alice’s face is getting red and I can tell that she is getting close to losing her temper.

“Alice,” Alpha Devin’s voice comes from behind me and I spin around and bare my neck to him. “What is going on here?”

“These boys think that it is okay to give up one of their rooms so this… this rogue can sleep outside of the Omega quarters.” Angry tears are beginning to fall from Luna Alice’s eyes.

“She is their mate,” Alpha Devin says as he shoots me a kind look. “How would you feel if I would have had you sleep in the Omega quarters as soon as you came to this pack?”

“This is different,” Luna Alice grumbles. “I was of Beta b***d.”

“So am I,” I spit out angrily.

Everyone turns to look at me with their eyes wide with shock. This is the first time that I have spoken up for myself since I arrived at the North Pack.

The four men standing before me have bright smiles on their face as they look at me but Luna Alice crosses her arms over her chest and growls at me.

“You are nothing more than a rogue,” she growls at me.

“My parents were Betas and therefore I am a Beta too,” I tell her coldly.

“Do you know what your parents did to be kicked out of the West Pack?” She looks at me with an evil smile on her face.

“I don’t know what they did,” I say with my head held high. I refuse to let Luna Alice make me feel small any longer.

Luna Alice opens her mouth to speak but before she can tell me what my parents did Alpha Devin lets out a growl and she clamps her mouth shut.

“Now is not the time,” Alpha Devin says angrily before he grabs Luna Alice by the arm and drags her away.

I look at the triplets and tears stream down my face. “Do you know what they did?”

The brothers look at one another before they look back at me. Ace takes a step forward and leads me to Chris’s room. “Why don’t you take a shower and we will talk about it after?”
