Chapter 161
He was busy keeping tabs on Gabriel… meanwhile his own brother was ruining his plan.
Everything had gone horribly wrong and he blamed himself for part of it but he also blamed Sabine.
He didn’t know what she was preoccupied with or why the strange nameless baby in the crib upstairs was suddenly so instrumental to their plan but she had ruined the plan with personal plans of her own.
She got distracted. He could feel her slipping from him the very first time she saw Lori.
They were close. Even though their closeness was because of a mutual enemy, they had still shared a bed together and they had their sweet moments.
“Don’t shout. You’ll wake the baby.”
She replied and Lyle groaned. Sabine was watching the security cameras dutifully. Vara was positioning their men around the property.
Gabriel had come to the cottage, shortly after she had left, narrowly missing her and even Lori.
How did he find out?!
That was the question in her mind.
After his call Sabine knew that it was stupid of her to stay in the city. Gabriel would find her and hunt her down.
Taking refuge in another city for the meantime would do her some good.
She would lie low for a while.
She had contemplated bringing Lyle. Or telling him that she was fleeing but he was too volatile to leave on his own. She needed him beside him, so she
would keep him on a tight leash.
“We lost control of the situation. If you had been there… perhaps your stupid brother wouldn’t have given Lori the bite.”
“And oh! If you had also actually been in your right senses… you should have never allowed your brother step foot in that cottage in the first place.”
“Leave my brother out of this! You have also been very distracted these past few days. We promised not to keep secrets from each other but you have so
many now.”
He circled her as she focused on her computer monitor, barely flinching despite the close proximity or how angry Lyle looked.
“Secrets? From you?”
She scoffed.
“I don’t remember making any promises to divulge all my secrets.”
She retorted.
“Besides, whatever secrets you think I’m keeping from you has nothing to do with our business together.”

“So that’s how it’s going to be?!”
He asked.
Sabine pulled away from the computer, a hand on her forehead as she walked towards the open window.
“Lyle… we have more pressing problems than that and you know it.”
She turned to him, her expression hard and serious.
“Knowing Gabriel… and the wealth of resources he has, he’ll find us in a few days. We need to discuss our next line of action.”
Lyle paused. They had no way to stop him. Lori was their bargaining chip and they lost her.
Even worse… she was a werewolf now. Or whatever it was she was.
“We lay low for a while…”
Sabine chuckled as she folded her arms.
“Lay low for a while?!”
“That is your grand plan?!”
Lyle frowned deeply.
“It’s the best option for now. Your incompetent wolves managed to let one rookie newbie werewolf best them and now we’ll all suffer the consequences.”
The smirk fell of Sabine’s face. The pain of losing her pack members was still an ache in her heart. Losing so many… at once… it would take a while for the
random pangs of pain to leave.
And Lyle… the disrespectful idiot actually believed that Lori took down thirty trained werewolves as a newly bitten werewolf?!
He was truly stupid.
How did she ever align herself with someone so stupid?!
She asked herself as she sighed.
“Leave me. You’re getting on my nerves.”
She dismissed him.
“Sabine…”
“I said leave.”
She repeated even more firmly as she turned her back to him.
Looking out the window, she saw Vara making yet another round across the perimeter.
