Chapter 54
“What Kate is trying to say,“Sam said,turning to me and winking, “is that she was sure that we would reject her due to her disability. Yet, we are not interested in doing that.”
“Kate,how could you?”
I dropped my gaze. He wouldn’t understand even if I tried to explain it.
“It’s a long story,Dad,“I eventually said.

“Still, he continued.“You don’t just throw away such a special gift.You embrace it.Not many wolves get a second chance at happiness.”
If only he had known about Ethan.
“You are absolutely right, “Grey said.“And that is the main reason we would like to take Kate away for a few days.”
“We want to gain her trust,“Sam said, “and show her love.”
“We want her to understand and show her that we are her mates, and we are looking beyond the wheelchair,“Colt said.
My father nodded, dropped his gaze,and looked at the pencil in his hands,thinking.
After a moment of silence,he lifted his head.
“I don’t have an issue with your trip,“my father said.“You have my permission.”
“Thank you,Duncan, Colt said,getting to his feet.
Sam and Grey followed suit.
I started to push my wheelchair to the exit when my father called behind us.
“When will we expect you back?”
Colt turned his gaze back to my father.
“Next week,Friday,“Colt said.
That’s for almost a week. What were they planning to do with me for six days?
My father flinched, and the two had a stare-off.My father slowly raised an eyebrow, and Colt slowly nodded.

What was that all about?
Were they keeping something from me?
“Very well, my father said,trying hard to keep his pose.“Enjoy!”
My father then looked back at me and sat back.
“Just tell your mom you are leaving,“he said.“She just got you back,and you haven’t spent much time with her.”
The urgent knock on my bedroom door startled me,and I dropped my bikini.
“Sh*t!“I swore when it landed on the floor.
“It’s open,“I called back, trying to pick up the piece of fabric.
“Wow!Kate,stop!“Sam called from the door and rushed to my side.He quickly picked up the bikini and gave it to me.His eyes had
already darkened.
“Why don’t you just ask someone to help you?” He asked.
“Like who?“I asked,packing the piece of fabric into my bag.
“Mind–link with your brother,” he said casually.
“If only I could,“I said, closing my bag.
‘You can’t mind–link,can you?” He asked.
‘No,‘I said,looking at him.“I lost that ability when…“I swallowed hard.Only my parents knew about it.I was literally cut off from my
pack in some way.
I smelled like a wolf,but the abilities that made me a wolf and a pack member were nonexistent.
‘You survived your fall,“Sam said, smiling.” You do know that we are just a phone call away?‘
He picked up my phone,held it out for me to unlock it, and I handed it back to him.
He quickly entered his and his brother’s numbers on the phone.
“Here,it’s all done,” he said,handing me the phone.“Now you don’t have an excuse to call us for whatever reason.”
Sam’s double meaning didn’t go unnoticed.

…
“So,are you all packed up,or is there more stuff that needs to be packed?”
“All done,thanks,“I said,finding Sam’s gaze.
Sam squatted down by me, and his warm scent enveloped my senses. He slowly moved forward, and my breath hitched.
Was he planning to kiss me?
Sam cupped my face in his hands and pulled me closer to him. Our eyes locked, and the sexual tension grew between us with every
passing second.
Sam cleared his throat,got to his feet,and planted a kiss on my forehead.I shivered.
He slowly moved away from me and grabbed the bags.
“Let’s get going,“he said.“My brothers would never forgive me if I were your first.”
