Hellbound With You novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Falling

'F*ck. What was going on? What was happening right now?' Alex whispered inside him. His body was losing its strength and he felt like his breath was being pulled away from his body. He had never felt like this before. In his countless years of existence, Alex had forgotten what it felt like to be on the brink of death. He had forgotten how it felt to be helpless and powerless because since he became an immortal, he had never gone through that experience again. He had become invincible.

But at that moment, he felt it. This was that feeling of helplessness, of dread and apprehension that he had long forgotten. His body felt like it had turned into ice. The warmth was no more as if something was sucking it out of his body. Every nook of his body ached with pain he never felt before. What was this? Was his immortality fading? Was he going to die now? But that was impossible, and why would his immortality leave his body?

He tried to push the girl back because she kept holding on to him. He knew he was going to fall because he couldn't even keep his feet on the ground without swaying. His body felt like it was going to crumble into pieces.

He smirked as he told her to let go. He didn't know what was going on. All he knew was that he was going to fall down from here because he no longer had any strength left in his body. He had become useless, as if the only thing left in him was his consciousness.

"Hold onto the… pole…" he said one last time as he looked at her face.

What the hell. What was that expression on her face? Was she worried? About him? No, she must just be scared to be punished by Zeke again. These words could only float inside his head because he couldn't even move his lips anymore. 'Sh*t. What is this? Am I going to finally die now that I've found someone I truly want? Damn, this is funny…'

He felt like he was floating. When did the last time he felt anything like this? He couldn't remember. He thought about that time when he jumped into the furnace to kill himself. His body burned and he felt the pain as the flames licked every inch of his skin but he had never felt like he was close to dying. All he felt was pain. He never felt helpless or powerless despite standing in there all day. Which was why he knew that this time was different. He didn't know if this was what dying felt like but he didn't know what else it could be. Was this finally it? Was he actually going to find the death that he had sought for many, many centuries?

Alex lips curved up slightly. If he had the strength right then, he would have laughed out loud because he couldn't believe that he might really, actually die. If he was indeed dying right then, wasn't he supposed to just smile and savor it? Savor the feeling of drawing one last breath until that final moment came?

He felt his body sway like a leaf blowing in the wind and in the next moment, his feet were no longer touching the roof as his body fell backwards. As he was falling, he decided that he would close his eyes and wait for what would come next. He wanted to know if he was really dying and if he was, he would just smile and let it happen. However, instead of closing, his eyes widened. 'Sh*t! Why? Didn't I tell you to hold onto the pole and wait for Zeke?!'
