The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

She had arrived in front of Astra’s door. Bloodied, tired and with no shred of hope left in her. She thought the pain would take her away. She wanted it to.

She had even risked going up to the penthouse. But no… she couldn’t risk Gabriel seeing her like that. Not in that condition.

Especially when she wasn’t sure if she was still being followed by Sabine’s men. She wanted to make sure she was as safe as possible.

Sabine had her ways… and she didn’t want to put all of them in jeopardy. So she had cleaned up herself as much as she could in the bathroom and rushed

out.

She took a taxi to Astra’s place. Despite feeling uneasy about going back to the woman’s place. After everything she had told her and how she had rejected her, Lori wanted nothing more than to stay far away from her.

But she was nephilim. And she was just like Lori and Lori couldn’t avoid or deny the fact that she would be better suited to helping her than Gabriel ever

would.

She had to at least try.

She was surprised when the lock on Astra’s door had clicked open and the woman pulled her in, while the taxi man in the background yelled for his

payment.

Astra had hurriedly ran inside her apartment and rushed back out out and paid him off to avoid him calling too much attention to them. Lori didn’t have

any money.

Astra walked back inside her apartment glaring at Lori.

She shrugged off Lori’s coat and made her take off her blouse then examined her back.

It was bloodied and it looked like Lori had done a sloppy job of cleaning it with tissue. Tiny bits and pieces of tissue clung to her skin but the blood had stopped. The skin had healed nicely and the stumps were growing, at a slower rate.

Astra couldn’t even deny how fascinating it was to watch a nephilim’s wings grow. She never had wings. She only knew of a few nephilim’s who grew wings.

She frowned. But she didn’t say a word.

Lori stood still, searching her face for a reaction… silently pleading in her head that she would help her.

Astra still wasn’t speaking to her, she just mindlessly examined her back.

Lori didn’t want to come back, in fact she didn’t plan to go back to Astra. Left to her she would have rushed back into Gabriel’s arms, But she had to be smart. She couldn’t be stupid anymore and put them all in trouble. Not again.

“What’s happening to me?!”

Lori asked as she panted.

Astra shrugged.

“It’s not unusual for a nephilim to grow wings but it’s quite uncommon. This might have something to do with the werewolf bite you were given.”

‘How?”

Lori asked as Astra folded Lori’s coat. She threw Lori a towel to use to cover herself.

Lori wrapped it around her chest.

‘It also triggered your shape shifting abilities. But you know… instead of you turning to a wolf… you turn into nephilim.”

Lori nodded.

“How long will this last?! How do I stop this?!”

Astra looked Lori over again. Her eyes raking over the small strange woman.

She had promised herself that she wouldn’t help. In fact she was in the midst of packing her bags and leaving town for a while. She already had a destination in mind, at least until the dust settled and that was when she heard a knock on the door.

She knew it was Lori when she smelled the blood as she neared her door. The only reason she had helped her was because any other supernatural within a five mile radius who could smell a nephilim would be able to detect her and they would trace her back to her house.

Astra helped her to keep herself safe. Not out of the benevolence of her heart.

Even though she couldn’t deny that she pitied the young woman. The kind of things she had been through… even Astra herself who had her fair share of life’s troubles and woes had not experienced half of it.

“We can pause the process. But we can’t stop it, it is inevitable. You’ll get your wings… and then you’ll have to painstakingly shift back into your normal form.. all of this can take a while. At least a few days.”
