My First Transformation 2

Chapter 3: Good-bye

Dominic's POV.
The boys walked inside the hotel room with two teenage females. I looked at Viva who stood there speechless. Her body was motionless.

I snapped my gaze at the boys who I grew up with; my very own gang partners. Tom was our leader; he died years ago. We still did what a gang does, do the wrong. That was, until Jackson came into my life, pulling me in the right direction.

I sighed. I looked at Bradly, he is the one who was taking care of the group until I got back. They were all staring at my mate. When I glanced at her, she was standing there, shaking in fear.
     
It pained both me and Aron to watch our innocent mate become terrified of my friends. If she was scared of them, then what if she knew my truth. She looked at me and stepped back when I tried to touch her.

What are you doing, keeping a girl? Are you insane? Just force her to do what you tell her, Bradly told me through the gang mind link. I peered at the boys frowning, not enjoying them talk about my mate like that.
     
I glanced at my small girl, giving her sorrow eyes. She was holding back the waterfall of tears.

"Let's go, guys. Time to leave," I said as I walked to the door. A pair of thin arms wrapped around my stomach.

"Please don't leave me alone. I don't know what to do if something happens to you," Viva cried, buring her face in my back.

It hurt like hell to leave my mate behind; but I knew better. I knew it was for the best. I just wanted to hold her little frame in my arms, reassuring her that everything will be okay.

But, I didn't. And that would cost me something in the future. I knew it would. I pulled out of her weak grip and walked out the door without even giving her a good-bye look. And I hated myself for it. I realized that if I did look back, that I would not be able to leave her behind.
     
I thought she would follow me like she always did. But she didn't; instead, she started bawling when the guys took the other two girls to an empty room.

Viva's POV.
My heart was aching, and I cried out in pain. It hurt, I'll admit. Losing Dominic was the last thing I ever wanted.
   
He marked me last night, and now he just up and left me like nothing ever happened between us. I was angry, depressed, lonely, afraid; but what I really felt the most, was betrayed.
     
I was just as hurt as Amber. She was over edge with the loss of Dom. He was the only one she wanted. It didn't feel right to be without him. Nothing felt the same again.
