"Why would you do that?" I yelled as I punched his arm. "I'm sorry I wasn't thinking-" I cut him off. "Your right, which is why I'm leaving" I said, I started to pack my bags. "Sky, wait" he tried to grab my arm, I snatched it out his hand and turn around, on the verge of crying. "DON'T!" I paused. "If you loved me like you say you do then you wouldn't have went to that strip club" "Oh, okay, lets not forget the reason you were there also" he said, I slapped him. "Fuck you Travis! I was having my wedding party and we came in to get drinks. If you paid attention to the club and not the whore that was on you lap, you would've noticed" I said and threw the rest of my clothes into my bag. I am so done with his shit. "Baby please, it wasn't like that." I could tell he was lying and he knew it was pointless. "You don't even have the balls to tell me the truth, god. I'm glad I caught myself before the wedding because I am so done. Your dead to me." I said and grabbed the keys to my motorbike. "What, babe, the wedding is tomorrow. I love you, you cant leave me" he said. "Travis, I thought I could trust you, I have girls coming up to me everyday, telling me that you had sex with them, and now, I'm starting to believe them. " I said crying, I threw my bag on my back as I revved my bike. "Where are you going?" he asked crying also. "Don't know" I was about to pull of but he stepped in front of my bike. "Please" he said, I could feel our bond slowly being ripped. "Move" I said. "No" he said "Move, now" "No, I cant live without you" he said. "But yet you can live with a whore on your lap." I snapped. "Its not what it looked like!" he shouted. "It's actually what it looked like! She was taking of your pants, and you didn't even care!" I yelled back. "No she didn't!" he lied to me, again. "Damn it move" I growled. "No, I love you and wont let you leave!" he yelled as it started to rain hard. My inner wolf growled at him as I transformed. "Wait" he said as I ran in the forest.
