Ocean's Breath Plateau i.xii : who was found dead on the phone

Rest, yeah.  He was impatient, but seeing as she looked ready to keel over any minute, he didn't see as he had much choice.  Better a slow guide than a dead one.

Whatever you need, he said casually, though he wondered if Niamh was still on their trail.  If she was, he didn't have a whole lot to worry about, but this girl sure as hell did.  Would he fight off his mate as well to protect her? He wasn't sure.  Was she still his mate, or another ex? Also unsure.  


Colt sat down, just then realizing how tired his own legs were.  When you were moving it was easier to ignore, but now that he'd stopped, an ache that was becoming all to regular settled in.  Maybe a rest wasn't such a bad idea after all.
