The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 62

Erica’s POV

Walking into the Bunny Club the next night feels surreal. All of the dancers and waitresses are talking about me behind my back. Either they don’t think that I can hear them or they just don’t care.

Many of them are wondering why I would run from the two gorgeous men that walked into the bar last night. Unfortunately, I can’t tell any of them the truth. The humans that work at the bar would never understand what having a mate means, and the werewolves would never understand why I ran from my mates. So, I just keep my nose to the ground and pretend like I cannot hear what they are saying.

I am surprised to see Romeo waiting for me behind the bar. He never leaves his office to work the bar unless there’s trouble.

“I didn’t expect to see you back again,” Romeo says with a smirk on his face.

“I have to pay for my apartment and food,” I retort. I know that I will not want to listen to what he has to say.

“We need to talk,” Lynne says as she comes up from behind me.

“What is there to talk about,” I g***n.

“You know damn well what there is to talk about,” Romeo growls at me. “Explain why two out of the three Alpha Triplets were in my bar looking for you last night.”

“There isn’t anything to say.” I try to keep my face neutral. “I left the North Pack and they didn’t want me to leave.”

“You are leaving out the why.” Lynne crosses her arms over her chest and glares at me. “Why didn’t they want you to leave?”

“That’s really none of your business,” I say as I push past the two of them. I ignore them standing behind me and begin to restock the liquor shelves.

“If I have to chase them off my property, I am making it my business,” Romeo snaps at me.

A low growl escapes my lips as I turn back around and stare at Romeo and Lynne. “I just wanted to leave all of that behind me. At least for longer than two weeks.”

Tears begin to fill my eyes as I think about the triplets. Romeo lets out a frustrated huff when he notices that I am crying and storms into the back room.

Lynne wraps her arms around me and pulls me in for a hug. “You know that you can trust me with anything, right?” She raises her eyebrows as she looks at me.

I let out a sigh and pull myself away from the hug. I have to admit that it would be nice to have someone to talk to about all of this.

“They are my mates,” I whisper.

“Which one,” Lynne asks with a hint of excitement in her voice.

“All of them,” I g***n.

“When you say all of them…” Lynne’s voice trails off in shock.

“All three of them,” I whisper even lower than before.

“Shut the front door,” Lynne screams as she gently presses me backwards.

“Could you lower your voice,” I hiss at her. ” I don’t want anyone to know.”

Lynne looks at me in shock. “I gotta know, why did you run?”

“That’s a really good question,” a deep voice comes from behind me.

Lynne leans back against the liquor shelves and lets out a low whistle. She leans over to me and whispers in my ear, “don’t turn around now. One of them is here.”

Refusing to turn around, I begin to restock the clean glasses under the liquor shelves.

Lifting my nose to the air, I slightly sniff. I cannot smell his chocolate scent and peppermint scent but I would know that voice anywhere. Chris’s voice has always been a little huskier than both of his brothers.

“Well, Little Fox,” he says and I can hear the humor in his voice and practically see the smirk that I know is dancing across his face. “Are you going to answer the question?”

Lynne grabs a bowl of peanuts from behind the bar and starts popping them in her mouth like popcorn. She acts like she is watching some sort of romantic television show and it is just about to get to the good part.

Turning on the spot, I glare at Chris angrily. “Only if you explain why you ran first.”

“I already told you why I left last night.” He takes a seat at the bar and smiles at me.

But it isn’t just any smile. It is the kind of smile that girls go wild for. The kind of smile that would make any woman swoon. I can tell that Lynne is affected by his charms because she shifts awkwardly where she stands and her hand freezes midway to her mouth.

I bump Lynne out her daze with my h*p and she continues to eat peanuts. Her eyes dance between Chris and I as she waits for the next one to speak.

When neither one of us says anything. Lynne clears her throat loudly. “Well don’t leave a girl hanging,” she says. “Why did he leave first?”

“That’s personal,” Chris and I say at the same time.

Lynne smirks as pops a few more peanuts in her mouth. “Then why DID you leave, Jazzy?”

“Jazzy?” Chris c***s an eyebrow in my direction.

“You shut up,” I point to Lynne. “And you go away,” I point to Chris.

“Nope,” Chris says as he drums his fingers on the bar. “I think I will stay here and drink tonight.”

“You don’t drink,” I cross my arms over my chest and glare at him.

“When you look like that, I do,” Chris says with a grin on his face.

“We aren’t serving you.” I put my hands on my h**s and match his grin.

“I will serve him,” Lynne says and she bumps me out of the way with her h*p. “What are you drinking tonight, Sweetheart?”

A low growl leaves my lips when Lynne calls Chris Sweetheart. “Traitor,” I hiss at them both before I storm to the back room of the bar.
