Chapter 38
Catherine’s POV
“My car!” I gasped, surprised and confused at the same time.
My cherry–red Tesla S convertible was standing in the sun, all shining and ready to go. It was like the first day I laid eyes on her.
The triplets quietly observed me, all of them with the same smirk plastered on their handsome faces.
“What’s going on?” I asked when I got over the shock.
“We thought,” Colt said, cocking his head to the side, “that, if you agree, we could take her out for a spin.”
“I don’t mind,” I said, “but you do know I can’t drive.”
Colt chuckled, amused.
“Well, we can…” Sam yelled excitedly.
“Oh,” I said, pulling my face back in disappointment.
“Come on, sis,” Jimmy mused from behind the car, rubbing a cloth over the side and polishing it. “It will be fun!”
I hesitated, thinking it through. No one has ever driven her.
“Fine!” I said, “But Jimmy is not driving!”
“Burn!” Sam yelled, laughing at Jimmy’s face.
“Unfair!” Jimmy complained.
“Who usually drives?” I asked, looking among the triplets.
“Colt does,” Grey said, handing him the keys.
“Then it’s settled,” Sam said, circling the wheelchair to push me toward the car.
“Uhm,” I said,
“Sam!” Colt stopped him and said, “Kate likes to push her wheelchair herself.”
Sam’s face fell, but he let go of my chair.

“Thanks,‘ I said, and I pushed myself to the car.
Once there, I automatically moved my fingers over the car, and a smile followed on my lips.
I remember how the wind felt as it moved around me the last time I was in the car, and excitement boiled over.
“Can I? Colt asked, holding out his hand.
“Uhm, yeah, sure, thank you,” I mumbled, and he bent down and lifted me from my chair.
I became intoxicated by his sandalwood scent and laid my head on his chest.
Kia’s purring startled me, and my body stiffened.
“Something wrong?” Colt asked, looking concerned. He must have noticed my reaction.
“No, no,” I said as he placed me in the front passenger seat.
“Sure?” He asked, and a small smile followed on his lips: “I am sure I just heard you purr.”
“I–I. It wasn’t me!” I said. Did he hear Kia purr?
“Okay,” he said, closing the door, but a teasing smile played at the corner of his lips.
The boys jumped into the back seat, urging Colt to start the car and get moving.
The car roared to life, and a chill ran down my spine hearing it.

“Ready?” Colt asked, and I found my gaze and lifted an eyebrow, but before any of us could utter a word, Colt hit the gas, and the car
raced forward.

I sat back, closed my eyes, and enjoyed the wind in my hair. For a few minutes, I felt free.
My mind wandered off, and I imagined myself like a wolf running through the forest with the wind moving between my fur.
I wanted to go faster, chase the wind, and be as fast as the wind.
I sighed in contentment. This was a piece of heaven.
Colt brought the car to a stop, leaving a dust cloud around us, and the boys cheered happily from the back seat.
“Why are we stopping?” I asked.

‘This is as far as we go, Colt said with a sparkle in his eye.
“I… where are we?” I asked.
“Come on, sis,” Jimmy called from the back, “can’t you remember this place?”
My gaze moved around us, searching for any clue as to where we were.
The boys got out and popped the boot, grabbing a few bags.
Colt opened the door for me and asked a silent question.
I nodded, and he lifted me from my seat.
He closed the car’s door while holding me and started to walk toward the forest with the boys on his heels.
