The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 56

Bryce’s POV

Ace and I bang on Ashley’s door first thing this morning. We have a plan. Ace is going to force her into training and I am going to break into her phone while she is out. How difficult could her password be?

“Go away,” Ashley yells through the door but we refuse to be deterred.

Ace twists the doorknob and much to our surprise her door is unlocked. We both burst into her room to find her still in bed.

“Up you get,” Ace says with a smirk on his face. “It is your first day of training.”

Ashley rolls over onto her belly and hides her head under her pillow. “Go away,” she hisses at us again. “I don’t even have a wolf yet.”

“That doesn’t mean that you can’t start training,” I tell her as I rip the comforter off her bed.

“Yep,” Ace says he pops the ‘p.’ “It is never too early to start training. Especially if you are going to be a Luna.”

“I don’t want to be a Luna,” Ashley growls.

Ace grabs her by the ankle and pulls her off of her bed. She tries to grab onto the sheets to keep herself from falling but she hits the ground with a thud.

“You two are assholes,” she says as she gets to her feet and storms off into her closet.

“Hurry up,” Ace yells out with a bit of humor in his voice. “We don’t have all day.”

Ashley stomps out of the closet. She has on a pair of leggings and sports bra and her blonde hair is pulled up into a high ponytail. Her phone is in her hand as she goes to storm out of the bedroom.

Reaching out, I yank the phone out of her hand and toss it on her bed. “No, phones during training.”

“What?!” Ashley squeals loudly. “I need my phone.”

Ace rolls his eyes at her and chuckles loudly. “You don’t need your phone.”

A little pout crosses Ashley’s lips. “I need it,” she whines.

“You don’t need it,” I tell her again and Ace pushes her out of the bedroom.

Ashley looks back at the phone that is lying on her bed like it is a long lost friend that she cannot live without.

“You will be gone for two hours,” Ace tells her. He grabs her around the wrist and drags her down the hallway.

“Two hours?” Ashley complains, but Ace doesn’t pay any attention to her. He just continues to drag her down the hallway. “Wait?” Ashley calls out. She digs her heels into the floor, trying to make Ace come to a stop. “Why isn’t Bryce coming?”

“Today is my day off,” I tell her with a smile. “I am going back to sleep.”

“Son of a b***h,” she g****s.

Ace is continuing to drag her down the hallway and I can hear her complaining the whole way down the stairs. Suddenly I hear her squeal out loudly. I look down over the banister and I see Ace has thrown her over his shoulder and is carrying her down the stairs in a hurry.

‘I will keep her busy for a couple hours,’ Ace says through the mind link. ‘See what you can figure out on her phone.’

‘Got it,’ I answer back through the link.

I wait in the hallway until I hear the front door of the pack house slam shut before I run back into Ashley’s room and grab her phone. Sitting on her bed I take the phone in my hand and look at the lock screen. Much to my surprise she doesn’t have a password on her phone. As soon as I swipe upwards the phone unlocks and I have access to the whole thing.

The first thing that I do is flip through her messages but there are none from Erica. Most of her messages are from men. Out of curiosity I open one of the messages from one of the guys and then quickly close it. No one needs to see naked pictures of their cousin first thing on a Monday morning. I shake my head in frustration. My mother would kill her if she knew how she was behaving behind closed doors.

I scroll through the messages and find one from a girl named Jasmine. Something tells me to open the messages.

Ashley: How are things going I miss you?

Jasmine: I miss you too. But things are going well. Working at the Bunny Club is getting easier.

Ashley: When do you plan on coming home?

Jasmine: Has Chris come home yet?

Ashley: Not yet.

Jasmine: Then I am not coming back.

I pause as I read the messages. This has to be Erica. Who else would refuse to come back unless Chris has come home too?

I quickly scroll through the messages but I don’t see anything else that would tell me where she is except for this place called the Bunny Club. I close her phone and lay it back on the bed and quickly leave Ashley’s room.

I head back to my bedroom and pull out my own phone. Opening up the browser I search for ‘The Bunny Club,’ and only one result pops up. It is a strip club that is right outside of our territory.

Blue growls angrily in my head at the thought of our precious Erica working at a strip club.

Opening the mind link with Ace I interrupt his fake training session with Ashley. ‘I think I found the information that we need.’

I can hear Ace chuckling through the mind link. ‘Ashley is so bad at moving her body,’ he responds humorously.

‘Never mind Ashley,’ I growl through the link. ‘Our mate is working at a strip club.’

A loud growl echoes through the air outside and I know that it is Ace blowing off some steam. ‘What do you mean she is working at a strip club?’

‘Come back to the house and I will tell you everything that I have found,’ I tell him before I cut off the link.
