Chapter 33: Walking Away

Walking Away

I fucking love you.

Those words brought all emotions to me. I wanted to scream and tell him that he can't-he shouldn't but it's all too late now. He said it. The words I hated the most.

I glanced beside me. His eyes were close and I had the chance to study his features. Long lashes, sharp jaw, tousled hair, thick eyebrows and sexy lips that I had been kissing a while ago. Alex looked so peaceful in his sleep and even in his sleep he still managed to look intimidating.

His eyebrows were furrowed and I gently traced the lines and he instantly relaxed. He was cruel, he killed vampires in front of me mercilessly. He's been having a hard time controlling his anger. After all, he's from a powerful family.

But this cruel pureblood claimed to love me. I wasn't oblivious of his affection towards me but it's still surprising that someone like him is able to fall in love-to me. I chuckled shaking my head unbelievably, my tears threatening to come out.

I hated myself for liking the fact that Alex have feelings for me. I shouldn't feel this way. It's like I've been betraying my family for staying with the race who killed them. Maybe this is better. It must have been a wake up call to me that I should stop this. Stop fooling myself that it's okay to be with him.

I left the bed and and walked towards our-his closet and changed into the clothes I wore the first time we met. Walking out of the closet I picked up my phone that has been discarded on the floor and placed it on the bedside table.

I'm planning to leave everything behind. Sa wakas ay nakapag-desisyon na ako. I'm finally leaving him at wala akong planong dalhin sa pag-alis ko ang kahit na anong gamit na binili ni Alex para sa akin. Mas maganda na rin ito, walang mga bagay na magpapa-alala sa kanya.

Tinitigan ko siya sa huling pagkakataon at yumuko upang halikan ito sa noo.

"I'm not worth loving." I kissed his forehead and walk to the door. "Goodbye, Alex."

Malapit na akong makalabas sa gate ng masyon ni Alex nang may humablot sa braso ko. Bumaling ako sa likuran ko sa kung sino mang nangahas na pigilan ako.

"Saan ka pupunta?" Tanong ni Damien na nakahawak parin sa braso ko.

"Bintawan mo nga ako. Kung saan man ako magpunta, it doesn't concern you!" Sigaw ko dito.

"It does and I know you're up to something."

Inirapan ko ito at pilit na hinablot ang braso ko mula sa pagkakahawak nito.

"I am finally leaving this house. Don't you dare stop me." I warned, gritting my teeth.

Bigla naman ako nitong binitiwan at napataas ang kilay. "Oh! You are?"

It's worthless talking to Damien so I started walking away when he stopped me again.

"Let go of me!" I screamed.

"I'm not yet done talking to you. I'm sure someone told you already that you shouldn't walk away when someone is still talking to you."

Yeah. Someone did told me that. It was Giovanni Terrel, another annoying pureblood. How the hell did ge know that?!

I glared at him and tried to snatched my arm but it was no use. His hand is a fucking mono block around me.

"Calm down, Astrid. Wala akong planong pigilan ka sa pag-alis mo. You're actually doing me a favor."

"A favor?"

"Yes. I wondered how long it would take you to leave. You see, the thing between you and my brother is not a healthy relationship. He's intimidating. You control him and he controls you."

I huffed from the revelation. So all along, Damien wanted me to go. What a total arsehole and a hypocrite.

"That's good then. I can finally leave in peace and we never had a relationship."

Nag-umpisa na akong maglakad palayo nang may maalala ako. Napatigil ako sa paglalakad at hinarap muli si Damien na hindi parin umaalis sa kinatatayuan nito.

"Since I'm doing you a favor, why don't you do me a favor too? I don't want Alex to find me so stop him or do whatever it takes for him not to find me."

"I do not have to do that because I'm sure they will find you before he does." He replied.

"Who the heck are you referring to?!" I exclaimed.

"You'll see. Bye, Astrid." He smirked and vanished in thin air.
"I fucking hate you, Damien!" I screamed. He's only invisible and I'm sure he heard me.

Now, I better leave this place before Alex wakes up and go back to where I used to.

After several hours I've finally reached my house. I just hope Alex doesn't know this place. My house still looks the same.

Ang bahay ko ay hindi naman kasing laki ng mansyon ni Alex pero masasabi kong masyado itong malaki para sa isang tao lang. Maalikabok na rin ang mga sasakyan sa garahe ko. I miss this house but I miss Alex more.

Thankfully, my lovely dresses are still in a good state and because I'm finally free, it's time to party.

Alexander's POV

"I'm not worth loving. Goodbye, Alex." She said and I felt her lips on my forehead.

I wanted to fucking grab her and beg her not to leave me and tell her she's worth everything-she's worth more than my life but I realized I shouldn't. She needs time on her own and I'm giving her that.

I opened my eyes the moment Astrid stepped out of the door and watched her retreating form as she walked away. When I couldn't feel her presence anymore, it finally sink in to me that she's gone. She left me and I let her.

I screamed in anger, grabbed her phone on the bedside table and smashed it against the wall. It flew to pieces but it doesn't help subside my anger. Her scent still lingered around the room and I miss her already.

I finally told her I love her. I know it will scare her. I know it will drive her away but I still fucking told her. She was scared because she thought she was betraying her family when she accepts my love.

I know everything about her, things she doesn't know herself. I know about her family. I'm just wating for her to open up to me. Waiting and waiting but she never did. Astrid is still living in her past while I tried to save her from her horrible past but she didn't let me. She built up walls I couldn't break.

I sat in the bed, the cold floor doesn't have any effect on my bare feet. Combing my hair in frustration, I felt Damien's presence in the doorway.

"Brother..." Damien trailed and I heard a little sympathy in his voice.

"She's gone." I whispered in defeat. "She finally left me."

"Stop looking so miserable brother. She's only a mere vampire."

"She's not just a mere vampire, I fucking love than vampire. She's my life!" I screamed.

"You've given her more than she deserves."

"She deserved everything and you know that."

We both know what I'm talking about and that silenced him. I don't need to tell him my reasons. He knew. He's my half brother after all.

"She doesn't want you to look for her." Mayamaya ay sambit ni Damien.

"I know. I heard everything. I can only last for a short time. I'll give her space then I'm taking her back." I answered with determination.

"I will never understand how people gets blinded by love. It makes you stupid, do things, and sacrifice things for that someone." Damien said while shaking his head.

"You will never understand till you find someone to love my little brother."
