The life of a Vampire Billionaire

Chapter 29

Aubrey is upstairs in her room, I can hear her breathing. I walk up the staircase of my mansion and open the bedroom door.
Aubrey is sitting on her huge bed among pillows, feeding on a woman.
"Go home", she tells the woman after she has pushed out enough forgetting-poison in her blood.
The woman walks past me in the doorway, her eyes are empty and dark.

"So, what is it?", Aubrey asks.
"Did you do it to make me jealous?", I wonder firm and she looks at me chocked.
"No!", she utters and sounds kind of insulted. "You know, everything isn't always about you and it's not your concern."
"You kind of made it my concern when you chose to sleep with my best friend..." She looks at me irritated and moans excessively loud with no patience left in the body.
"I have just about gotten enough of you! How you think that you're better than everyone else and how you keep pretending that your past don't hurt you. Zane, it is okay to have feelings!", she screams angrily and I feel how I'm about to lose control of my temper.
"Don't you make me the problem here! My past is none of your business!", I yell and she grabs a pink pillow in her hands. She presses it so hard that it jerky shakes and answers:
"You kind of made it my buisness when you joined that vampire group. Did you really think that you honored your family by risking your life and killing werewolves? Well I bet your father would of been proud of you!", she screams and finally admits all her thoughts about my choices.

It's true I'm in the group for my family's sake, but not to honor them. The hatred for the werewolves is the only thing I have left of them. When the werewolves murdered my family, the only thing I had left was revenge.
I suffer with the missing of them every day, it tears me apart. So I have learned how to control that pain, and instead of grieving I now transform it into anger.

"Don't you dare bring my father into this!" She stares at me chocked. I don't think she expected that reaction of me. "I'm doing all this to help my city - but this isn't your city, remember? You followed me here, so why Aubrey, why did you join the group?"
"To protect you!", she yells loud and throws the pink pillow towards me. It falls to the ground in front of me.
"I can take care of myself!", I scream, "And don't you try to make this a hopeless love story, it's not!" Her pretty eyes waters and I imagine the sound of her heart bursting of the thought of us never getting back together.

Aubrey and I used to be the ultimate couple. We were perfect together and adored by everyone because of our indescribable chemistry. I remember thinking that she was the one and that we always would be together, but sometimes things doesn't go they way you plan.

"You and that human will never work out. You can't turn her - she will die and you will be left alone! Don't you see? She's no good for you!", she shouts, her voice breaking and she stands up next to her bed.
How dare she mention Caitlin? She has nothing to do with this, at all.
Aubreys' tears are on the verge of falling over, all they need is a little push.
It was the limit of what my temper is capable to handle, I burst out like never before:
"Don't!", I yell infuriated and so loud that I almost frighten myself. I stare at Aubrey - her face is deathly pale and her gaze is terrified. Tears streams down her cheeks and she looks at me in an entire new way - she's afraid of me.

I'm at the top of furious. "Never talk about her again, ever!", I shout and don't know what to to with the anger quickly building up inside me, so without thinking I turn around and harshly hit my fist right through the bedroom door. It doesn't hurt nearly as much as the feelings I'm experiencing does.

Horrified by the way I act I storm out of the room, and when I do, I can hear how Aubrey's knees are trembling and how they reach the floor as she collapses. She cries out loud, her body shaking of sadness.

When I come out in the hall and reach the staircase I feel the tears gush down my cheeks like a waterfall and while sobbing I try to wipe them away.
