The Triplets' Rejected Disabled Mate Chapter 43

Catherine's POV

I giggled as I held my yellow bikini in my hands.

This was going to create so many unnecessary complications,and weirdly,I was excited about it.

I rolled my eyes.

Colt won!

But I still think he cheated somehow.

I was a bit disappointed that my father didn't make the triplets sweat;he was too eager to get me out of the packhouse,and my mind raced back to yesterday's conversation in my father's office.

I was eager to see what my father would say and do and if he would let me out of his sight.

I had taken Colt's hand and shook it in agreement,then we headed to my father's office.

I should have known trouble was coming.

"Alpha Jones,"Colt said as he knocked on my father's office door.

We found Jimmy on our way here,and he mind-linked our father and told him that Colt and his brothers wanted to see him.I suddenly wondered if Jimmy had said something,yet he didn't know that the triplets wanted to go to the beach.

"Come on in,boys,"my father called them in,gesturing to them to take a seat."And please call me Duncan;these formalities are not needed in private."

I rolled my eyes.

My father already took a liking to the triplets,which was a bit annoying yet comforting.

"I saw that,"Colt whispered,and I gave him a confused look."You're rolling your eyes,"he explained.

"What about it?"I asked,lifting an eyebrow.

"I want to spank that beautiful round ass of yours for being disrespectful,"he said,and his eyes darkened.

His words stirred unknown excitement in me,and I imagined seeing myself being spanked by him.

"F*ck!"I internally swore;my imagination was running wild again,soaking my underwear.

Sam chuckled behind me,and Grey cleared his throat,smiling.

This was so embarrassing!

When all of us were seated,my father smiled and looked at everyone in front of him.

"So,Colt,"he said,turning his gaze toward Colt."Jimmy says you wanted to see me."

I was very surprised that my father knew which one of the triplets Colt was.

Was he guessing,or did he actually know?

"Yes,Alpha,"Colt said,and my father gave him a disapproving look.

"Duncan,"Colt corrected,and in return,my father smiled at him.

"Yes?"

"We were wondering if you would allow us to borrow Kate for a few days,"Colt said.

"Oh?"My father scrunched his eyebrows together,a bit surprised.

He didn't expect such a request.

"Yeah,"Sam said."We would love to take Kate down to our beach house;it's not that far away from home."

"We want to learn to know Kate better,"Grey said.

"In private,"Colt continued.

Did they rehearse that,or did it come naturally for the triplets to continue when the last brother stopped talking?

Yet I had this nagging feeling at the back of my mind that there was more to this trip than meets the eye—or,should I say,ears?

I turned my gaze toward the triplets,and I immediately knew they were up to no good.

This wasn't just a trip down to the beach,was it?

"Maybe we will mate with them,"Kia suddenly mused,startling me.

"You can't be serious!"I growled at her.

"Kate?"My father called,turning his attention to me."Are you all right?"

I bleakly smiled.

"I'm fine,"I said,yet he didn't believe me.

I sighed.

"Kia..."I answered his unspoken question.

"Your wolf is back?"He asked,hopefully.

"Sort of,"I said."She comes and goes.She isn't permanently settled in my mind."

"Well,that is already good news,"my father said."When did this happen?"

"When Colt refused to reject me after I asked him to,"I said,

"Good,"my father said,and his eyes suddenly widened,realizing what I just said."Did you just say you asked them to reject you?"

"Uhm,"I hesitated.What do I tell him now?

He was already furious about Brian being a dick;now I asked the triplets to reject me as well.

"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."
