The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue – Chapter 124
Erica’s POV
I toss and turn all night in the bed that feels too small and empty. I have come accustomed to sleeping next to my mates and without them next to me it feels like my world is crashing down around me. With no windows in my room, I cannot tell what time of day it is. A small light shines from underneath the door and I can hear footsteps just outside of the door.
There is no knock on my door before the lock on the door clicks and it swings open. Rex waltzes in with a tray of food and kicks the door shut behind him. He sets the tray down on the edge of my bed and takes a seat beside me. His skin brushes up against my shoulder and it makes me feel like I want to vomit. I scoot out of his reach and look at the tray of food at the end of my bed.
