“Where are we going, Colt?” I asked when an open space between the forest trees opened, and he set me down on a fallen tree.
“It’s surprising,” he said.
“I’m getting worried,” I said, looking at the overgrown forest.
“Don’t be,” he said, and he squatted in front of me, taking my hands in his.
This big, bad alpha was turning soft; even his cold eyes had become warm around me.
“How do you expect me to go in there?” I asked, gesturing to the forest.
“Ride,” Grey said as he dropped the bags on the ground.
“Ride what?” I asked.
“One of us,” Sam said, winking.
My face turned crimson, knowing there was more to those few words than Sam was implying.
Grey shook his head, irritated with Sam, and Colt chuckled under his breath.
It seemed like Grey was now the stuck–up brother among the three.

Jimmy took a seat under the tree and silently observed us. He was enjoying having the triplets around.
“What my brothers are trying to say is,” Colt interrupted before a fight broke out between Sam and Grey, “that we want you to decide
whose wolf you would like to ride on?”
“Like a horse?” The words slipped from my lips.
Colt pulled his lips in a thin line, trying hard not to laugh, and nodded, but a second later he burst out laughing so hard that the
boys eventually joined in.
I had never seen him like this, and the sound of his laughter and that of his brother was like music to my soul.
“Exactly,” he eventually said, when he had his laughter under control.
I looked at Colt in disbelief.
“Come on, sis, you have done it before,” Jimmy said, and the triplets looked at him in shock.

Chapter 39
“Then you should know how to ride a wolf,” Colt said. “It’s just a matter of who you choose.”

I could hear the double meaning in Colt’s words, and Grey gave him a disapproving look, but before I could say anything, Kia stirred
in my mind, and my attention snapped to her.
“Chose, Ray,” she whispered.
For once, I didn’t argue with or question her. Maybe she wanted to connect with this wolf called Ray and could even help me or her?
“I pick, Ray,” I said, and the triplets went quiet and looked at me in shock.
They have never told me their wolves‘ names, and I have never met any of them before.
“Very well,” Colt said proudly, “I will go shift.”
Sam and Grey looked upset at me for not choosing them, and I felt sad about it. I didn’t want to hurt their feelings.
“You can ride their wolves on our way back,” Kia said, disappearing into my mind.
“I didn’t choose myself,” I tried to defend. “Kia told me too.”
Grey’s face lit up, and he walked and squatted at my side.
“Kia is your wolf?” He asked, and I nodded.
“She has been more active with us around.” He asked, and I nodded again.
Grey took my hand in his and kissed the top of my hand. “I hope to meet her someday,” he said.
“She says when we head back, she wants me to take turns riding your wolves,” I said, and Sam walked closer.
“I wouldn’t mind you riding me,” he said, and Grey growled at him.
“You are such a flirt, Sam,” I said, chuckling. I was getting used to his badmouth, and one of these days I would make him quiet.
Movement among the trees caught my attention, and I lazily shifted my gaze to see what it was.
A huge black beast walked forward, and I recognized those beautiful blue eyes as Colt’s.
