The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

Days?!!!

Lori didn’t have a few days.

She also didn’t want to spend that long amount of time growing feathers. Not when there was so much to do. Not when Gabriel was probably worried sick

about her.

Not when Sabine was on her neck and her son was being held captive.

She was slowly starting to regret asking Elliot for the bite, it was bringing her more stress than she ever thought it would.

“How do I slow it down?”

Tell me what I need to do and I will be out of your sight immediately.”

Lori demanded and Astra raised her eyebrow.

“You don’t want to learn how to shift or shift back?”

She asked and Lori shook her head.

“I don’t want to bother you. You already said you didn’t want to help me…”

“Now. If there’s something to stop this process. Please help me with it and I’ll be well on my way.”

Astra sighed.

“Very well then.”

She murmured as she left Lori alone and walked into her room.

Lori sighed as she collapsed on the nearest sofa. She felt weak… a kind of weakness she had not felt in a while.

She needed to be on the move as soon as possible but her legs felt like lead.

She could do with a little bit of rest. The only problem was that she had no time for that… not not not yet.

Few moments later Astra came back out of her room with a pile of clothes in one hand and a bracelet in the other.

It was the second change of clothes she had offered Lori. Lori would have declined if it wasn’t for the fact that her clothes were unwearable. She couldn’t

wear them anymore. Not without the blood and dirt stuck on them.

‘What’s that?’

She asked. Her eyes on the bracelet.

Astra shrugged.

“It’s a cursed object. Completely blocks you from using your powers…”

Lori reached for it and Astra pulled back.

“Be careful with it. If you wear it for too long it can be dangerous. It’s black magic… the worst kind..”

Lori nodded.

‘As long as it’ll stop whatever’s growing on me from growing…”

She murmured and Astra sighed.

She gestured for Lori to extend her wrist and clamped the bracelet around her wrist.

The bracelet looked simple, it looked like it was made from iron but Lori couldn’t really tell. It was almost plain, but a wave of dizziness washed over Lori

the minute it was on her wrist.

“You can change out of your clothes in the bathroom. You should eat before your go… I suspect you haven’t eaten anything in a while.”

Suddenly Lori felt sharp hunger pangs in her belly. She had gone days and hours without proper food but now that the bracelet was on her wrist she was

feeling the full weight of the hunger on her.

She staggered and Astra supported her with a strong firm hand.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make you something before you leave. Then you can be on your way and never come back here again.”

Her tone was serious. Deadly even and Lori nodded.

‘I’m serious Lori. This is the last time… look around.”

She asked and Lori looked around. Boxes, a suitcase at the corner, Astra was leaving.

Her jaw dropped.

How did she not notice that before? She had been so engulfed in her own problems that she didn’t notice that the room was near empty.
