The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171

He runs his eyes all over her, running his hand through her hair, as if he couldn’t quite believe she was not part of an almost forgotten dream.

When Lori tried to speak her voice faltered into unintelligible croaks, she wanted to tell him that she loved him but she didn’t think he’d believe it. At least not during that moment.

She wondered if he was somehow disappointed in her, for not searching him out, for not coming to him first. She wondered if he’d be able to understand

why she did what she did. And how she was only just trying to protect him in her own little way.

She moved close enough to touch, his eyes were the same. Then his hand raised, silently

and he touched my hair. Lori wished she washed it. It had been greasy for days. Luckily she had clean clothes, but she still somehow felt inadequate.

“Lori…”

Gabriel called out slowly, his voice filled with depths and depths of emotions that Lori could strangely feel.

“Gabriel.”

She croaked.

“You don’t know how happy I am to see you again… I thought I lost you forever..”

Lori shook her head, tears blurring her vision of him.

“You didn’t… I’m sorry..”

“I was losing my mind! Going crazy! Wondering where you’ve been!!”

Lori nodded, quickly wiping away her tears as she felt the silent tapping of Astra’s flip flop on the hardwood floor.

‘We should go. We have so many things to talk about… we should leave.”

She said as she held his hands and he nodded.

She turned back to Astra who was still staring at them with a deep frown on her face.

“Give me your card.’

She whispered to Gabriel and he stared at her confused.

‘Your business card.”

She added and Gabriel touched his pocket.

‘I don’t think I have it on me..”

He murmured and Lori nodded.

“That’s okay.”

She turned back to Astra.

This is my mate. The one I told you about..”

She said and Astra nodded.

‘I can see that.”

She muttered.

Lori sighed.

I know I’ve caused you a lot of trouble. But if you ever need our help, we’re available to help you. We can help you out.”

Astra nodded.

I’ll consider that.”

She said as she slammed the door on their faces.

Lori and Gabriel exchange a look before walking back to the car.

“We are fighting a losing battle Alpha.”

“How could you let him escape?!”

Sabine asked as she stared mindlessly outside. A few hours without her in control and things had already gone to shit. Lyle was gone and Sabine had no doubt in her mind that it had something to do with Vara and whatever the hell she was saying.

“I didn’t let him escape. I tried to stop him. My men tried to stop him! Unfortunately they’re not faster than a silver bullet.” It was true, Vara had a plan in motion, she just didn’t imagine or think that Lyle would have a weapon on him.

Sabine sighed.

“How did he get to them?! He must have taken them from here..”

She murmured and Vara nodded.

“He had access to a lot of places in here. I’m sure it very easy for him to pick up a gun and some silver bullets.”

“Anyways. That’s not the point…”

“That is exactly the point!!!”

Sabine shrieked. Vara jumped back, a little bit startled.

“It is exactly the point that I am trying to make!! You let him escape!”

“How can you blame me of that Alpha?! I tried to stop him!”

“Obviously you didn’t try enough.”

Sabine snapped bitterly.

Vara bit her lips. Holding back her words.

She had been trying to talk sense into her alpha, but it seemed like she was fighting a losing battle.

“If… if my services no longer pleases you. I’d suggest you strip me of my title.”

Vara watched as Sabine’s shoulder went limp.

There was an uncountable silence. With only the sound of breeze coming through the open window to hear.

Sabine slowly turned, then she cleared her throat.

Vara took another good look at her.

She had gone mad.

It was the only explanation for her recent behavior. Her attachment to that baby, it was clouding her senses, making her make foolish decisions..

They should be running, discussing their next line of action, gathering the rest of their pack and making plans to move to a safer location but no, Her dear alpha was more concerned about holding someone’s else’s child hostage and changing the child’s diapers!

She never knew if Sabine particularly wanted kids. The conversation never really came up, not since her ex husband.

But the way she treated the boy with such joy and glee made Vara wonder if Sabine had secretly wanted it.

Having a child. Being a mother.

Except it was the wrong timing and it was not her baby.

“So you’re leaving me?!”
