Chapter 22

• Blair stared at the ceiling; he didn’t know how long he’d been trying to fall asleep—but his internal clock told him it was too damn long. He should have passed out as soon as his head hit the pillow. Calum and he had not only gone to check on the hill to get a view of the area surrounding the property, but they’d run the outskirts and adjacent properties—twice, to check for any scents that shouldn’t have been there. Then he’d come back and eaten enough for three people before walking, on two feet, the perimeter of the yard around the house.
• So why wasn’t he sleeping?
• Right. He couldn’t sleep because his brain and cat wouldn’t shut up. He somehow needed to tell Kobie that she was his mate. Normally, he’d have no problem with that—or he hoped he wouldn’t, but this was not normal. Not only had she just lost most of her clan, her father, and her home, but her brother might not make it either.
