The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 84

Erica’s POV

I lean up against the back of the pack house, breathing heavily. I can only hope that no one saw me. I was curious about the hunt and Envy was dying to go for a run. How was I supposed to know that I would run into a rogue werewolf?

I don’t know who caught who’s scent first, but as soon as I caught the scent of the rogue I decided to make my way back to the pack house. Envy spun around as quickly as she could to try and make it back without being noticed by the hunting pack or the rogue. But as soon as the opening in the trees was visible it was all over. A giant rogue werewolf, with matted brown fur stepped out in front of me.

His tongue hung out of the side of his mouth and he was foaming at the mouth. He was at least twice my size. There would be no way that I could take him down.

I was frozen to the spot, unsure of what to do next. The rogue circled me several times, nipping at my tail as he passed behind me. Suddenly the howl of the Alpha rang through the night and it caught the rogue’s attention. Without giving me a second glance the rogue took off running in the direction of the howl. I knew that I should have gone home but something told me to follow the rogue.

What I saw before me was terrifying. It was four against one and somehow the rogue was managing to hold his own against the four Alphas. I saw Alpha Devin’s wolf being bitten over and over again. He wouldn’t make it out of this fight unless they got the upper hand on the rogue.

Suddenly a jolt of electricity pulsed through my body, almost bringing me to my knees. I don’t know what happened or what I did but suddenly the four Alpha’s fighting against the rogue gained the upper hand and I watched as Ace’s wolf ripped out the throat of the rogue. I knew I had to get out of there before anyone saw me and put two and two together.

Erica’s POV

I lean up against the back of the pack house, breathing heavily. I can only hope that no one saw me. I was curious about the hunt and Envy was dying to go for a run. How was I supposed to know that I would run into a rogue werewolf?

Now I am standing naked outside of the back door of the pack house trying to piece together what had happened.

Quickly I run back into the house trying to avoid any of the main hallways so I won’t meet anyone. Using the Omegas corridors I run up the back stairs. Peeking out into the main hallway I don’t see anyone. So, I rush down the hall and make my way into Chris’s room.

Looking down at my naked body I see that I am covered in mud. Quickly I rush into the shower and wash off the evidence that I had been running tonight. Just as I step out of the shower, there is a loud banging on the bathroom door.

“Hurry up,” I hear Ashley’s voice yelling through the door. “Uncle Devin has been injured. We are needed at the hospital.”

I freeze as I am toweling myself off. I knew that he had been injured but I didn’t think it would have been so bad that his wolf was unable to heal him.

Wrapping the towel around my body I quickly exit the bathroom. Ashley has tears streaming down her face.

“You have to get ready,” she says quickly. “I need to be there. Luna Alice and that b***h have already left.”

“I don’t think I will be wanted there,” I say with some hesitation.

“The brother’s need you,” Ashley says with a sad look on her face. “Even if two of them are too stubborn to admit it.”

I know that she is right. I need to be there for Chris at the very least and maybe my presence will be enough to calm Ace and Bryce as well.

Quickly I throw on a pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt. Ashley is bouncing on the balls of her feet impatiently. I don’t bother to do anything with my hair. I know that there is no time. I throw my hair into a wet, messy bun and follow Ashley out to her car.

Her hands are shaking as she tries to unlock the doors of the car. I grab the keys out of her hands. I know that she is in no condition to drive. Ashley gives me a thankful glance before she climbs into the passenger side of the car.

The ride to the hospital is silent. I don’t know what to say to comfort Ashley. I have never lost a family member to death before. I can only hope that whatever I did out there in the forest was enough to make sure that I Alpha Devin survives.

I pull up to the front of the hospital and let Ashley out at the doors. “I will be in as soon as I find a parking spot,” I assure her.

The parking lot is full and I have to circle it several times before I am able to find a spot. Once I put the car in park, I sit there for several minutes, trying to build up the confidence that I will need to walk into that hospital alone.

‘Our mates need us,’ Envy says sadly in my mind. ‘We need to be there for them.’

Envy is right. Quickly I get out of the car and walk towards the hospital. As I approach the front doors I see the triplets standing outside huddled together. I have never seen them look so worried.

The wind blows in their direction and all three of them lift their nose to the air and inhale. A small smirk threatens to cross my lips when they all turn in an identical way to look at me. Before I have a chance to say anything, all three of them come barreling towards me. They try to engulf me in a huge hug all at the same time. Each of them takes a moment to nuzzle their nose in my hair and inhale my scent.

Ace holds onto me the longest, keeping his face hidden in my neck. The sparks from the mate bond are becoming stronger the longer that the four of us hold on to one another.

Releasing me from his hold, Ace scratches the back of his neck awkwardly.

“Thanks for coming.”
