The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 77

Chris’s POV

I don’t know how I managed to get all three of us in the same room at the same time, but I did. My brothers and I are standing in Bryce’s bedroom glaring at one another. All of our Alpha auras are mixing together in the room and it is making it difficult for me to concentrate.

Bryce is looking at Ace and I with an intensity that I haven’t seen before. “So, how long have you been f*****g Erica without us?” Bryce finally breaks the tension in the bedroom.

“It was one time,” I g***n.

“One time too many,” Bryce growls.

I look to Ace for some help but he seems to be on Bryce’s side when it comes to this one. Running my hand over my face in frustration, I let out a g***n.

“Fine,” I exhale. “You are right. I shouldn’t have slept with her. But you didn’t see her every night in those outfits that she was wearing at the Bunny Club.”

“Speaking of,” Ace finally chimes in. “How did you find her so quickly?”

“That doesn’t matter,” I try to change the subject. “I didn’t bring us together to talk about Erica. I brought us together to talk about Mom.”

Suddenly, I have my brothers attention. Both of their eyes are instantly glued to my own.

“What do you mean you want to talk about Mom?” Ace raises an eyebrow at me.

“Believe it or not, I didn’t leave the pack with Erica. I didn’t even find her until after you left a message on my phone telling me that she had gone missing.” I begin to tell them.

“If you didn’t leave with her then why did you leave?” Bryce scoffs, clearly not believing a word that I have said.

“Because I needed to find out the truth,” I say as I flop down on the chair behind me. “I needed to know if Erica was right about Mom. Something in my gut told me that Mom did have something to do with Erica’s parents being banished from the West Pack.”

“Well?” Ace is leaning in so he can hear me better.

Taking a deep breath I continue. “I went to visit the oracle from the East Pack. She told me that our mother had visited her many years ago while we were still young. She had read a prophecy that three triplet Alphas would be mated to a white wolf and that would cause a great war to break out among the four packs. We all know that mother’s greatest fear is war.”

Ace lets out a g***n. “So she found us mates of her choosing to avoid war.”

Bryce finally releases his aura and then tension in the room subsides. “Are you saying that mother got Erica’s parents kicked out of the West Pack, in hopes of keeping her away from us?”

“From what I could gather from the other packs it would appear that the rumors about Erica’s parents started within our own pack,” I try to fill in the blanks. “I am not saying that it was Mother but I wouldn’t put it past her.”

“How do we even know that we are the triplets from the prophecy or that Erica is the white wolf?” Ace shakes his head in confusion. “Have any of us even seen Erica’s wolf?”

“I haven’t,” Bryce and I say at the same time.

“I haven’t either,” I mumble.

“So there are two things that we need to do,” Ace says. “We need to confront our mother and we need to find out if Erica has a white wolf.”

Bryce growls angrily. “I am not ready to forgive her.”

Ace lets out a frustrated sigh and buries his head in his hands. “I don’t think I am ready to forgive her either.”

“You two have got to be kidding me,” I say through gritted teeth. “She came back to the pack because she wants to be with all of us.”

Bryce sneers at me. “She rejected me.”

“She was in pain,” I snarl back at him. “You betrayed the mate bond.”

“She betrayed us first by leaving us without cause. You don’t think that hurt?” Bryce crosses his arms over his chest and lets out a humph of disapproval.

“It’s complicated,” I try to defend our mate. “She left because of me, yes. But she also left because she needed to know that she could survive on her own.”

“Yeah. She survived by working at a place of ill repute.” Bryce smirks.

I close my eyes in frustration and run my hands through my hair. “You all can do what you want. But you will eventually see what it feels like without all four of us together. We all belong together. I see that now.”

“Whatever,” Bryce says, getting to his feet. “I have a mate that hasn’t rejected me to get back to.”

“Bryce, please don’t sleep with her. You didn’t see the amount of pain that it put her in the last time. You weren’t the one that had to pull her off the bathroom floor.” I beg Bryce.

“If she hadn’t left to begin with, she never would have felt that kind of pain.” Bryce stands up and holds his bedroom door open, gesturing for us to leave.

“Wait,” I call out. “Who is going to talk to both Mom and Erica?”

Ace chuckles to himself. “You have already done most of the work so why don’t you just complete it. I don’t want to be anywhere near either one of them.”

Bryce nods his head in agreement. “When you figure out the truth you can come find us. Until then stay away from me and keep Erica away from me too.”

“What he said,” Ace said as he walks out of the bedroom and doesn’t look back.

Bryce gestures to me to leave his bedroom once again and I get up and leave. The door slams behind me and I am not sure if I can repair this relationship with my brothers.
