Micah's Mate (Dark Sky) Read Free

was informed to look for. I was told the women here are loud and panicky, temperamental and unstable. I was told to be very careful of your species in general actually.” Micah smiled sardonically at her, “My name is Micah Stitchna. I am not from around here as you can see. What am I running from? Well, I am trying to stay ahead of the men that are in the forest at the moment.”
    He looked down at the glass in his hand and wiped the condensation from the edge with his thumb deciding on what he could expose. “Why am I here?” He ran a hand through his hair and blew out a breath slowly. “I'm not sure I can share that with you just yet, it is complicated. As for what I did to you, it is a calming technique that my people are equipped with. It has its usefulness.” He smiled crookedly at her and sipped the water. Telling her about his mission would not go over well he was sure. It was way too soon. “This is good, thank you.”
                  “Only the women are spoken of as being temperamental and unstable? I think I should be offended.” Katlyn smiled up at him and took another sip of water as he glanced out the window. Following his gaze her smile disappeared, this was not good. Glancing out the windows in the kitchen and the sun room she could see lights in the forest through each. There really were people in the woods and it looked like they were pretty much on every side of the house. She could see the floodlights they were using and they were close.
                  “Come with me.” Katlyn didn't like the look of the lights outside, they were getting closer and the officer she saw earlier could very well pop in again. If he did and Micah was found sitting here like this, there would be questions. The unusual red suit he wore would raise a few eyebrows; she was no seamstress but even she could tell that the material was vastly different from anything she had ever seen. Not only that but it had a very distinct military look to it; it looked almost like a military flight suit. As he had said, it was pretty obvious that he was not from here. Katlyn chuckled to herself as she rose from the table; little green men be damned. 
                  He raised an eyebrow wondering what had caused the soft chuckle but rose to follow her. “It is nice to meet you Micah. I know I am asking a lot for you to trust me but can you?” He needed to trust her; those lights were coming really quickly and if he didn’t trust her there might not be much chance for him.
                  “Do I have much choice?” He sighed and followed her up the stairs to the bedrooms. He shouldn’t have come straight here once he saw the house. He should have left a trail away first and then circled back. Instead, he had led these men straight to her endangering not only himself but her also. He cursed himself silently for the error. “I am sorry to have gotten you involved in this.”
                  Katlyn smiled back at him, “Everyone needs help at some time or another. If I find you some clothes can you please change out of the uniform? If that guy comes back I would feel a lot better if you were in something else.” Katlyn dug through her drawer and pulled out a pair of men's PJ bottoms. She always bought them big so that they would be comfortable to sleep in; hopefully these would work for him.
                  “Why are you helping me?” Micah began to unfasten the jumpsuit and pulled it off his shoulders; all the while holding her deep brown eyes with his. This didn’t make sense; she had no reason to help him. If anything she should be very weary of him.
                  “Well, I spend a lot of my day judging people by the way they act, the way they interact. I have always used my gut instinct, I can't do anything else now and my gut instinct is telling me that this is what I should do.” Katlyn handed him the PJ's and smiled up at him. She
