Chained souls

Chapter 4 I am not like you

The small gathering in the loud club were all tens, there was silent after the slap. Every thin sound was drowned by the clubs loud music. Lorelei stood frozen with her head wiped to the side course of the massive impact from the slap. Her cheek was numb, then it heated up and pain took over. The females hadn't moved an inch, the two male's that had been making their way towards the females had also stopped. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something, that something hit Caleb's nostrils, blood. His body instantly resumed moving, mate hurt a voice inside him growled in an angry manner. Caleb too focused on the simple task of getting to the female, pushed back any kind of thought he should have paid that voice. All that mattered was Lorelei, the smaller male quickly following suit.

A tickle awoken Lorelei, something was slowly gliding it's way down her cheek.
" gasp lei your bleeding" Ann said with a high pitched voice. Lorelei slowly moved her head and slides her fingers to the bleeding wound, she looked at her fingers that were now coated in the red liquid. Was the blond stupid? They weren't meant to openly announce their species, what would have happened if it had been one of the others she had hit.

Memories flowed in over Lorelei, making her unaware of the her surroundings. She didn't even register the male from earlier that gently took her face in his hands and inspected her wound.

Lorelei's memories was vividly changing as if her mind couldn't choose which memory to replay, but the common trait for all of them were that man, his tools, the cold table and all that blood.

Caleb inspected the wound, well wounds. Tania had used her claws and they had left five deep cuts into Lorelei's face. They started from right under her eye all the way down, to the tip of the corner of her lip. Caleb had to hold back his need to return the favor to Tania, but his concern lingered with Lorelei who's hazel eyes seemed so far away that their fury and gleam had disappeared. In the background Tania was getting the lecture of her life from the three human females that seemed to had voted the unknown male to be okay to watch over their friend, as they let loose on Tania who seemed quite taken back by the ferocity of the human pack and the male's focus on the wounded female.

Caleb seeking any kind of reaction from Lorelei was joyed when her eyes suddenly blinked and returned back to their normal state. She made eye contact with him only to flush and lower head "I need to get cleaned up, excuse me,, a soft whisper left the female has she slowly made her way out off Caleb's grip and rushed towards the ladies room.

Caleb stood frozen in place unsure of what to do next, his heart was cringing and tightening itself in his rib cage. His desire to heal and comfort the retreating female had been rejected, mate hurt whine why mate not seek alpha once more that voice sounded out. Caleb recognized the said words though primitive to be true, they were his feelings, his very thought on the manner. The male turned to watch his surroundings, Tania and her gang were retreating. Well at least it looked like it, but one can never be too sure. Lorelei was out of sight, she most have made it to the restroom. Find mate, mate vulnerable . Most protect mate. Caleb recognized the voice to that of his inner beast, his more primal side. It was rare for once beast to be the one to pick a mate, but also far more dangerous. Had Caleb been any less of a man he would have bolted right then and there, and seeked help to chain his beast. But Caleb weren't weak, he had already seen some of the females qualities. And he did find her interesting, once more his beast whined loudly enough to make string of pain run though the male's body. His kobolt eyes once more scanned the club, Tania and her gang was scouting for Lorelei. Luckily they were heading towards the wrong restroom, Caleb looked to Andre who nodded before both males moved towards Lorelei's position.

Lorelei's thoughts were on replay, only one though, one action were on her mind. Most destroy the DNA. Lorelei praise her goddess that she had convinced her friends to stay at this club and not move to another one. Her mind so cloudy by her need to remove her trail, to wash of all the blood she could see, she didn't notice the two males walk in both had the courtesy to remain by the door. Lorelei washed and washed with controlled movements her eyes never wandering. Satisfied that all the blood was gone and that the cuts had stopped bleeding, she quickly pulled off her sweater. Though a pained grunt still left her, she had forgotten about her earlier encounter with Tania and her still bruised ribs.
