The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 106

THE ALPHA’S NANNY.

Chapter 106

He knew she had seen him. He could feel her eyes on him, like burning coal. He could feel her fear, it was like a scent in the air, strong and pungent.

He knew what would happen when he turned. He knew the transformation would somehow expose what he truly was to Lori. But he was tired of hiding. It

was who he was, he couldn’t hide anymore.

She would find out sooner or later and Gabriel rather preferred her finding out from him than anywhere else.

His yard was a bloodbath, full of bodies everywhere. His guards had survived, but three of them were seriously injured. He knew he should go with them as

their alpha but he had to see Lori first, put her mind at ease and make sure she didn’t run out in fear.

Elliot had passed him a shirt and shorts after everything but he was still drenched in blood. He would need a bath to get it all off.

Halfway inside the house he ignored all the bows and praises from his staff as he rushed towards his room where Lori was.

He knocked on the door eagerly.

It took a full minute before Lori opened the door.

Standing in front of her drenched in the blood of his enemies. Yes, he knew it was a gory sight and he anticipated whatever reaction she would give him.

But she just stood there watching him, her eyes blank, her hair blanketing half her face like a curtain and baby Emilia in her arms with her head resting in

the crook of her neck.

“Can I come in?”

He asked gently. As gently as he could muster.

She didn’t say a word. She just shifted out of the way.

Her eyes followed his every movement, stalking him like a camera as he made his way to the bathroom. He would try to clean off as much blood as he could.

In front of the mirror in the bathroom he found out that he looked even worse than he had expected.

His hair was matted with blood and his entire face had blood on it. His hands were worse, covered with blood with dirt and flesh underneath his nails.

He cleaned up quickly. Only running his hand and face under the running water because he planned on taking a bath later on.

Lori sat at the edge of the bed quietly watching him. He tried to read her emotion, tried to smell the air but he couldn’t smell anything. But at least she was no longer afraid.

“You still have blood on you.”

He said as he came out of the bathroom cleaning his face and hands with a white/rag that got bloodier with each swipe.

He nodded.

“I’ll take a shower. I just wanted to see you.”

“Why?”

She asked.

He shrugged.

“I don’t know. With everything that happened I was worried about you and the baby..”

Lori nodded as she gulped hard, patting the baby gently.

“Did you… did you..”

He started and she nodded.

“I saw enough.”

This was the hardest part. As far as Gabriel remembered he never had to reveal being a werewolf to a non supernatural. That was just how it had always been for him. He mostly surrounded himself with people of his kind, so he had never had to do this.

Where would he even explain?

How would he even start?

“… well, if you don’t know what you saw, I can explain to you. what it is.”

He said and Lori sighed.

Gabriel waited with bated breath for her reply.

“Lori?”

He called out and she stood up.

“No.”

She answered.

“No?”

Gabriel repeated. Shock evident in his features.

Lori gently set the baby down on the bed. Then she turned to Gabriel, pulling her hair out of her face.

“I’m leaving tomorrow. I will find an apartment.”

Gabriel felt like a knife had pierced his guts.

“Lori…

She raised her hand cutting him off.

Chapter 106

“If you can kindly change the terms of my contract, I’d stop being a live in nanny and just function as a regular nanny.”

She folded her arms. She wanted to leave. She had thought long and hard about leaving but she couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Emilia all alone by

herself.

So no. Leaving was not an option.

“I was going to quit. But I really cannot imagine life without Emilia.”

“So stay. Stay please! I’m not a monster Lori, you know I would never hurt you.”

He pleaded and she nodded.

Was she sure? She wasn’t. He was a werewolf! A freaking werewolf!
