The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 68

Bryce’s POV

I want to return to the Bunny Club but Ace is against it. It is causing a rift in our relationship. Every conversation we have always turns to Erica and Chris, which then turns into an argument.

This morning has been no different. Ace just stormed out of my bedroom and slammed the door behind him. Pacing back and forth in my bedroom, my fists are clenched by my sides in a rage. Ace believes that Erica will come back on her own, but I want to go back to the Bunny Club, drag her out, and bring her home.

A light knock on my door interrupts my pacing. I know that the knock is too light to be Ace.

“What?” I growl through the door.

“Dear,” my mother’s voice sounds sweetly as she yells through the door. “Can I speak with you for a moment?”

I run my fingers through my hair in frustration, before I open the door angrily. My mother ignores my angry demeanor and invites herself into my room with a bright smile on her face.

“What do you want?” I ask her coldly. I still believe that she is the one that got Erica’s parents kicked out of the West Pack. I don’t trust anything that she has to say.

“I just want to let you know that Amber Lockhart will be here later today. I want you to show her around.” My mother crosses her arms over her chest and I know that there is no arguing with her.

“Amber as in the Beta’s daughter from the East Pack?” I ask curiously.

“Yes, her parents are sending her here for Luna training with Ashley,” my mother tells me.

“Why can’t Ashley entertain her?” I g***n. The last thing that I want is to have a girl following me around all day. The only girl that I am interested in being with is Erica.

My mother lets out a loud sigh. “We both know that Ashley is not a good role model. As hard as I try she will not be Luna material.”

“Why can’t Ace be her chaperone?” I ask grumpily.

“Ace has other matters to attend to,” my mother wrinkles her nose in disgust. I can tell that whatever excuse Ace gave her she does not approve of.

“Whatever,” I mumble. “When will she be here?”

“She should be here within the hour,” my mother’s smile gets brighter. “So if I were you I would take a shower.”

Lifting my arm, I sniff my armpit, and I wrinkle my nose. I don’t think I could possibly smell worse, I can’t remember the last time that I have had a shower.

Without giving me a second look my mother leaves my bedroom. Pressing the heel of my hand to my forehead I try to relieve some of the pressure that is building behind my eyes. Making my way into the bathroom I turn the shower on as hot as it will go before I step inside.

Leaning against the shower wall, I try to get my body to relax under the steaming hot water. But for some reason I feel more tense than normal. The last time that I saw Amber was ten years ago. She was an overweight child with bright red hair and freckles that my brothers and I tormented relentlessly. I hope she doesn’t hold a grudge against us like Erica did. I don’t think that I can deal with another moody female.

About an hour later I am sitting in the front room of the pack house waiting for Amber to show up. There is a knock at the front door and I cannot help but feel a sense of dread wash over me.

One of the Omegas rushes towards the door to greet our guest and my mother follows quickly. I can hear my mother laughing loudly from the front door and I hear a melodious laughter accompanying my mothers.

My mother walks back into the front room of the pack house with a beautiful redhead. I look around my mother looking for the overweight Amber that I remember but there is no one else with her.

“Bryce,” my mother says happily. “I am sure you remember Amber.”

Shaking my head back and forth I try to make sense of what I am seeing in front of me. The once fat little girl that was covered in freckles is now one of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen. Her dark red hair flows like silk down her back and her dark brown eyes stare at me with amusement.

Amber giggles as she takes in the stunned look on my face. “I look a little different than I did ten years ago,” Amber smiles and I swear it lights up the whole room.

“You can say that again,” I blurt out without thinking.

“I will leave you two to catch up,” my mother says as she sneaks out of the front room.

Amber sits on the chair across the room from me and we stare at one another for a few moments before I get the nerve to finally speak up.

“I think I owe you an apology,” I finally spit out.

Amber dismisses my words with a wave of her hands. “There is nothing to apologize for,” she says sweetly. “We were both young the last time that we saw one another. Kids will be kids.”

I let out a little sigh of relief and I cannot help but compare the differences between Amber and Erica. Erica held a grudge against all of us for as long as I can remember, but Amber is willing to forgive and forget just like that. She is like a breath of fresh air.

“So what do you want to see?” I ask Amber.

Amber bats her eyelashes at me and pulls her bottom l*p between her teeth. “What would you like to show me?”

‘f**k,’ I g***n internally. ‘We are in trouble.’

‘We have a mate,’ my wolf, Blue, growls loudly in my head.

‘Our mate left us,’ I tell Blue.

“I have several things that I would like to show you,” I tell Amber seductively.
