Chapter 12

MarIK was impressed. They had been walking for a while, but Sharon never asked him to stop or slow down. He did, of course, make his steps shorter because he was much taller than she was. She was handling all of it really well. In fact, she had escaped the Morins before he had a chance to rescue her. Katieran females probably would not have risked trying to escape just because they were always protected by a male and not allowed out on the battlefield.

“What are you thinking about?”

He looked down at her and smiled. “I was just thinking about how different you are from Katieran females. They might not have attempted to escape as you did.”

“Does it make you feel less of a man because I was able to find a way to save myself?”

“No, I’m impressed. How did you manage to get away?”

“One of the warriors OrIN had guarding me wasn’t happy with the Morins’ presence. I talked him into slowing our steps and making a run for it.”

“Was that the male I took down?”

“Yes.”

“I saw him running like a mad person and didn’t want to take a chance on him alerting the others to my presence. Did you see the Morins?”

“Yeah, OrIN was there and the commander for the Morins, Commander Tonan. I didn’t realize how evil the Morins were until I looked into his yellow eyes.” She shivered out of response. MarIK wrapped his arm around her shoulder to comfort her.

“I would die before letting the Morins get their hands on you.”

“I didn’t hear what their plans were for me. Why would they go to all this trouble just for one woman?”

MarIK hesitated. He wasn’t sure how much he should tell Sharon without scaring her. “They knew when they asked for a female to come, that it would be an Earth female.” She didn’t say anything as they walked, just gave him the time to tell her everything that he knew.

“I didn’t know OrIN’s full plan until after you arrived with the Katierans. He was planning to give you to the Morins, to draw out the Katierans.”

“Distract them with me? Why would the Katierans care?”

“You’re female and from Earth. The primes are all mated to Earth females and have young that are mixed. They would not be able turn their backs on you.”

“If the Katierans launched a rescue mission and possible war on the Morins, it would leave Katiera vulnerable to an attack by OrIN and his people. They’re seriously outnumbered.”

“OrIN has completely lost it, but he was also trying to damage the reputation of the primes. They sent you here and put you at risk. They would have to answer to anything that happened to you, and the Morins would have done unspeakable things to you.”

“I can imagine what they had in mind. That Commander Tonan showed signs of being sexually aggressive. I thought most of the Morins had been affected by the mutations, too.”

“There have been a few Morins that still showed signs of that kind of aggression.
