Chapter 37
“This is going to be so much fun!” Grey mused.
I rolled my eyes at my brothers‘ enthusiasm. It was the first time we had all gotten along.
My gaze turned toward Kate’s hospital bedroom door. That girl has changed us in a matter of days.
The door suddenly opened and revealed Kate, fully dressed and groomed.
She had applied some make–up, just enough to make her green eyes pop.
I jumped to my feet and rushed to her side.
“I thought I told you to call me?” I said, pouting.
“Force of habit,” she said. “I have been in a wheelchair for a while, and I have gotten used to doing things on my own.”
“An independent woman,” I said, teasingly.
“You can say that,” Kate answered, and I could read the sadness and determination behind those green eyes. “It was hard in the beginning to accept help from everyone, but I eventually accepted that I needed help. With hard work and determination, I managed to learn how to help myself. I can now do most of the things I could do before the accident. It just takes a bit more effort and time to
complete a task.”
I nodded in understanding as I walked next to her. She didn’t want me to push the wheelchair.
I pressed the elevator’s call button, and the doors immediately opened.
“Ladies first,” I said with a smile.
“Such a gentleman, Alpha Colt,” she said teasingly, “but we both know you are the hardass among your brothers.”
“Well, Ms. Kate,” I said and pushed the floor number, “I will be Alpha soon, and I need to be the cold and hard one to make the right
decision for my pack.”
“You see,” she stopped me, “I can see that that is all an act.”
I knitted my eyebrows together, a bit startled. Was she reading me?
“Oh?” I asked, finding her gaze and a small smile tucked at the corners of my lips. “Are you now an Alpha whisperer?”
“No, Alpha Colt,” she said as the doors opened, “I am your mate, and I know the true you.”

Chapter 37
Kate pushed her chair forward, leaving me standing in the elevator in shock.
“Aren’t you coming?” She asked, biting her lips.
I internally growled at seeing it and rushed to her side.
‘I suggest you stop biting your lip,” I whispered, only for her to hear, “or else our little deal will be off the table.”

Kate slowly raised her gaze to find mine, and she slowly licked her lips.
Was she out to taunt me? Was she trying to seduce me? If she keeps on challenging me, she will be marked and matted before sunset.
She doesn’t need to do all of those things; she just needs to say the words, and I will be ready to take her and claim her.
“So?” she asked, breaking the sexual tension between us. “Where to?”
“Toward the parking area,” I answered, getting excited. Oh, Goddess, I hope she loves the surprise.
Just before we came around the bend where the garages were, I stopped Kate and took a red blindfold out of my pocket.
“Why?” She asked, eyeing the blindfold.
“Because it’s fun?” Sam said, walking closer.
“You are not going to tie me up and…”
“Baby,” Sam mused, making Kate quiet as he squatted next to the wheelchair, “that will happen in due time, I promise, but not today!”
Kate’s face fluttered red, and my imagination went wild.
“Can you trust us?” Grey asked a couple of feet away from us.
Kate nodded at Grey, and Sam whimpered, a bit jealous.
I handed Grey the blindfold, and he carefully covered Kate’s eyes, then he pushed the wheelchair toward our little surprise.
“Are you ready?” Grey asked when we were just a couple of feet from her surprise.
Kate nodded.
“You can remove the blindfold.”
