The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 170

THE ALPHA’S NANNY.

Chapter 170

Elliot had given everything he could. Said his piece, told them all he knew, yet it still wasn’t good enough for Gabriel to let him out of the cage he was in.

He wasn’t complaining. At least he wasn’t being tortured, or being starved. They had been treating him fairly well and he almost didn’t mind that he was in

a cage.

Gabriel believed that Lori was alive. Draco was still skeptical. The two of them were scouring the city, with Gabriel barking demands on the phone to Draco

running helter skelter.

In the midst of all the drama Elliot wondered where his brother was, what he was doing and if he had the good sense to at least flee the country before

Gabriel focused his full attention on him.

At least Gabriel’s attention wasn’t on him anymore, even though he didn’t know his fate, Elliot didn’t worry endlessly about it.

Whatever came to him, he probably deserved it. He wasn’t hoping for a death punishment, but if he was banished from the pack for treason, he could live

with that. That was better.

A lead. There was a lead. Gabriel had left Elliot after questioning him to go for a run. He received an urgent phone call and decided to pick the call before he went on his run, which could take hours. Thank the gods that he did because the minute he picked up the call, he heard the first lead on Lori that he had

heard in months.

Gabriel had placed guards positioned at the penthouse building. Even after he left, just so that I’m case if Lori ever came back they would inform him and

keep her there.

She had managed to come in and one of the guards had spotted her, but since she wasn’t going to the penthouse, he because quite unsure. But when she was leaving, he decided to follow her, just to confirm.

He never got a proper glimpse of her and when he did, he realized who she was and called him immediately.

The guards at the penthouse had pulled up the CCTV cameras and found out that the woman that was in the lobby was in fact Lori. They had cross checked

with the pictures they had.

Gabriel recognized her immediately when they sent him a photo, even with the dark clothing and morbid look on her face.

Even though he knew her current location, he knew it was only a matter of time before she left there so Gabriel ran at break-necking speed to the spot.

He almost crashed his car. Twice.

But it was at least all worth it when he made it to the apartment in time.

Draco would arrive moments later with backup.

Draco had tried to warn him to stay back in case it was a trap but Gabriel couldn’t waste any more minute. He had not heard from her in days, he thought she was dead, there was no way he was passing up on a chance to see her when it was confirmed that she was at that location.

He knocked the door eagerly. And there seemed to be no reply.

He contemplated knocking down the door, staring at the hinges in impatience till the lock clicked and the door opened.

Chapter 170

“Yes?”

A woman asked him and Gabriel looked behind her. He took a generous sniff of the air and his nostrils sharpened,

Yes. It was Lori.

She was indoors.

‘I’d like to see Lori,”

The woman raised her eyebrow. Gabriel could tell from her demeanor that she didn’t like him. Nor entertain him. Besides, the looked like the was about to

lie, till a small figure came up behind her.

“It’s okay,”

Lori told the woman softly.

Lori stepped from the shadows, stealing Gabriel’s breath and the heat from his skin. Suddenly all his anger and impatience crumble slowly like a falling sand

castle. Before he could draw in the air his body he hugged her tightly.

Lori hugged him back. She could feel his firm torso and the heart that beat within. She could smell him, the same scent that had drove her crazy many times, how refreshing was it to smell him again.

Gabriel’s hands are folded around her back, drawing her in closer. Lori could feel her body shaking involuntarily, crying for the missed time they would never make back, crying to release the tension of those horrible days in the dark cold basement.

He pulled his head back and wiped her tears with a calloused finger, even the roughness of his finger brought more relief than her heart could hold.
