Babel Novel
CHAPTER 28
ALPHA ROBIN'S POV
The Beta didn't comment just yet. He gave me that one minute of silence that I needed to realise that I had lost it. How could I admit to such a thing after everything that happened the last time that I fell in love?
I haven't even told her yet that I love her but clearly, I do love her.
"Have you heard what you have just said?" Beta asked, hoping that I am going to take back what I had said.
The disbelief in his face confirmed to me that he couldn't understand the person that I had become.
He knew me so well, he saw the pain that I endured the last time that I fell in love. He was livid that after all that, here I am admitting to be in love yet I swore that I was never ever going to fall in love again. I knew what he wanted me to say but I couldn't say it out loud at the moment. I couldn't say that I didn't care about her because the truth is that I deeply cared about her.
Without saying a word, I turned around and took my leave.

ANITA'S POV
As I lay there hoping to feel better, I couldn't help but fantasise the encounters that I had with him. There is a way he touched my body as if he could see through me and know exactly where he needed to touch.
I was busy fantasising how our first night would be, how I would hold him tight when the door yanked open and Ben walked in.
Who the fuck invited him in! I was starting to get pissed at him. Clearly, he didn't respect any of my personal boundaries.
"What is wrong with you, the last time we talked, I told you to leave me alone," I warned.
"Don't say that to me, you cannot just kick me out because you are getting along with the Alpha. That aside, I am here to plead for my friend. The Alpha had banished him. You have to talk to him to make him retract his statement!" Ben begged desperately.
"I am sorry but I cannot come between him and his leadership," I took my stand. It was so unfortunate that his friend was banished but I was never going to question his judgement.
"How selfish can you be? Huh?" Ben asked, shaking his head in disagreement.
"This is not you," He added.
"What do you want me to do? The guy probably did something to warrant him being excommunicated from the pack," I said.
"You are the cause of all this," Ben repeated.
"How? I didn't do anything wrong," I said.
"He let you go and that is why the Alpha banished him. If you hadn't pulled your stunt of leaving then maybe he would still have a pack to call home," Ben said.

I didn't know what to say. The weight of what I had done sank and I realised Ben's frustrations.
"Do something about this, call him out," Ben advised me.
"He will listen to you and change his mind," He added.
"Go and bid your friend farewell. Tell him to avoid the Cosmo pack by Alpha Lewis," I told him.
"Come on, you can't do this. When did you become this heartless?" Ben asked.
"You should go now, otherwise, you will miss the chance to bid him farewell," I said. Despite the pity in his face, I would not do what he wanted me to do.
I felt bad for his friend but I was not going to allow him to come between me and the Alpha. I would never challenge his authority. Never.
I want to be that woman who submits fully to him. He is the one who is going to make all the decisions and I will follow because I trust his leadership.

ALPHA ROBIN'S POV
I was glad when the Beta didn't decide to follow me. I needed to be alone and think through what had just happened.
I rushed to my quarters, poured myself a glass of whiskey. I gulped it down before finally thinking about the situation at hand. I had fallen in love, I was deeply in love to the point that I went ahead to tell the Beta about it.
"Harry, what am I supposed to do? Do you think that I am making a mistake?" I asked. I really needed his help. He knows me so well and he is therefore the best person to give me the advice that I need.
"Follow your heart," He said and I knew exactly what he meant. There was no going back. I had to stick with my decision and move forward, to attend to the desires of my heart.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
I have given so much time to the pack, working to ensure we are fine. Now that things have stabilised, it's about time that I give myself the time to be happy again. If loving Anita and her loving me back is what makes me happy, then I am going to pursue that.
I needed not to think of anything else. As a matter of fact, I was wasting time. I needed to be with her.

ANITA'S POV
I had dozed off but was woken up by his scent. It was so strong, I couldn't resist him. When I opened my eyes, I was right about him, he was right there with me. He had come to see me. "How long have you been here? You should have woken me up," I said.
"I love watching you sleep..You are so beautiful Anita, do you know that?" He asked before he locked eyes with me and for the first time ever, I could see right through him.
"He loves you," Sarah repeated what I had just deduced and it brought a smile to my face.
"Can I kiss you? I cannot resist your soft pink lips," He said, coming closer and I nodded.
I can not get enough of him, I will always need him. He can have me, all of me. I love him way too much and I was desperate for that kiss.
