Babel Novel
Chapter 205
Xade’s pov
Her words linger in the air like a gust of wind. They were sharp like tiny shreds of glass, piercing through skin. My skin.
They stabbed me in my already wounded heart and as I watch the mix of pain and anger in her eyes, the stab wound deepened. I have not only caused Avery distress but I managed to do the same to her mother.
The guilt showed on my face and in my voice as I respond. ” Don’t you think I know that?” I swallowed, my throat tightening. “I am tearing myself apart over what I have caused. I-
Fay cuts me off, her eyes blazing with anger. ” You’re not tearing yourself apart enough,” her snarl made me flinch, not expecting the disdain in her voice. I have known this woman since I was a kid and she has always treated me well.

Xaden visibly recoils back as if she had physically hurt him. It was clear Fay was frustrated and angry to see her daughter in this state and I couldn’t blame her. I was equally as angry. But her words were paining everyone and it didn’t seem like she would stop..

If I lose her-
“You won’t,” I cut in firmly and sharply, not wanting to think of a bad outcome after all of this.
Fay’s eyes narrowed.” You don’t even believe that yourself wolf,” with a shake of her head, she looks at Dad. “I am not going to stay here and watch my daughter perish before my eyes.
