Why Are They Making Those Weird Noises?
“I’ve been in situations where I felt lost, but it was no big deal because I knew I could look up the answers or ask someone.But what do you do when it involves a person's feelings and all you have is their words?When confusion arises in matters of the heart, how can you ever be certain they're being honest?”~ Lola
"You need to stop and think, Callon," Roan said, holding up his hands in a placating gesture.
"I have been thinking," he said, the words barely distinguishable because his face shifted more.His beast fighting to fully take over, though that wasn’t possible yet.Not without being bonded to his mate.He switched to his own language, which the humans wouldn't understand, but Roan and Bane would hear loud and clear.
"I warned you," Callon told him."Did you think I was bluffing?"Then his head snapped to Bane."I told you to guard her, not make yourself at home in her bedroom."
"I have not touched her," Bane said, his eyes glaring daggers at him.
"Then why do I smell you on her?"he asked, his voice burning with disgust.
"Why are they making those weird noises," he heard one of the females ask.They annoyed him.He wanted Lola to himself.He wanted them all gone.Killing them would accomplish that.
"You aren't killing anyone," Roan snarled, speaking in English."Do you think she would forgive you if you killed her best friends?"
"What?"Lola's voice screeched, drawing his attention.She was beautiful.How he'd let her out of his sight, he would never understand.The only thing that would possibly explain it was temporary insanity.
"I won't let him hurt your friends," Bane said as he moved into a fighting stance.As if the fool could take him.
"Lola, I'm pretty sure even your music and your parents being on the other side of the apartment, isn’t going to cover the sound of your berserker boyfriend killing us," the blonde female said.
"Don't you dare look at her," Lola said.She walked towards him until she stood between him and the people he wanted to kill.
"Lo," one of the annoying female voices spoke again, “Probably not a good idea to get close to the crazy, lion man.”
"She's the only one in this room, or the general vicinity, who is safe," Roan told them.
"Callon," Lola said his name and he wanted to bask in how it sounded on her lips."Why are you here?"
He frowned.How could she ask such a silly question?"Because you're mySazzi.Where else would I be?"
Her brow dropped into a deep frown, her mouth drew tight across her face."You told me you couldn't let me distract you anymore from your duty.You basically told me goodbye with no intention of seeing me again."Her voice wavered as her hands shook at her sides.He looked at her face and saw her lips trembling.
Callon closed his eyes and focused every ounce of himself on her.He nearly collapsed under the weight of her pain.Pain he had caused.What had he done to cause this?How could he ever bring himself to hurt his mate?
"He's confused," Lola said."I can feel it.Why is he confused?It's like he doesn't remember what happened today."
"Maybe when an Erossiaszzi-mate dude goes all berserker, they lose some of their sanity, which in turn could cause them to lose some of their memories," the female, he was pretty sure was the one called Katy, said."The extreme emotions that this state causes might cause a form of psychosis.It would explain their ability to hurt people they normally wouldn't."
"It's anErossazzi," Roan said, "And that's actually pretty brilliant."
"Are we really going to discuss pronunciations while Lion King’s alter-ego is on the verge of clawing out our entrails?"
Their voices drew his attention away from Lola, and once again he noticed the two males in her room.
"Did you hear that, Callon?”Roan asked.“Lola is more than yourSazzi.She’s yourErossazzi."
Callon used one arm to brace himself and leapt, bringing his legs through the window, his feet hitting the floor in complete silence.
"Only Beloved," Roan said, his speech picking up pace."Not just one you chose, not just the one who picked you."
"I haven't exac—," Lola started, but Roan shot her a look and she clamped her lips closed.
"Do not look at her."He snapped his teeth at the Shaman who had to jump back to keep from getting bitten.
Roan, obviously in a dying mood, just kept talking."She is theonewho will merge with you.Her essence will live inside of you and you inside of her."
