Chapter 173
Gabriel gently wiped the single tear that fell from her eye.
Lori suddenly remembered Elliot. Her eyes widened as she tapped Gabriel’s hand eagerly.
“Wait! You said you had Elliot, where is he?!”
She asked and Gabriel rolled his eyes.
‘Locked up.
“Why?!”
Lori exclaimed and Gabriel grunted as he stood up and walked away from the couch.
“He’s a traitor. You know that. He committed treason. Betrayed his pack.”

Su Gabriel… you know Elliot isn’t like that! He would never do that…”
Gabriel shook his head adamantly. He had dreaded this conversation. This back and forth that would happen. Lori would want to set Elliot free and he just
couldn’t do that. There were consequences for every action and Elliot had to pay for them just like any other wolf.
“You got kidnapped because of him! You don’t get to defend him!”
Gabriel snapped and Lori shook her head.
“I got kidnapped because I was stupid. I should have never have gone out without protection. Besides, Elliot didn’t send those texts.”
“But he knew that his brother was alive and he didn’t tell me.”
He retorted.
Lori hesitated. Well, he was right on that one.
But still, this was Elliot they were talking about.
“He was scared! Besides… this is his brother we’re talking about…”
Gabriel shook his head, promptly cutting her off.
‘No! No! You don’t get it Lori.”
“You don’t know what I did, or how many
position I faced from my own family to get to where I am today!”
“Elliot knew what he was doing when he chose to hide that fact away from him.”
‘He picked a side and it sure as hell wasn’t mine!”
Lori was quiet.

He was angry. That was understandable. His family had caused him pain, more than anyone should have…
Elliot made a huge mistake, but Lori didn’t believe that he should be condemned because of that.
Gabriel turned away, his glare focused on the open window. Lori went to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and seeping some of his familiar warmth.
She didn’t want Elliot to die. Without him, she would be dead. Or worse, he would be dead.
Elliot saved her.
“Elliot saved me.”
Lori said.
“He saved me. I think that alone shows that he has good intentions. He always did.”
Lori said and after a long silence Gabriel sighed.
“I can’t let him go… not now… I’d be seen as weak if I just let him come back to the pack without some form of punishment. He has to be punished
somehow..”
Lori sighed.
‘Well… I’m sure you’d find an appropriate punishment. Something other than death. Or banishment.”
There was a knock on the door and Gabriel turned towards it. There was a smile on his face.
“That should be Grace and Emilia.”
Lori squealed with excitement.
Finally! She thought.
Mrs Grace walked in with the baby stroller, she exclaimed when she saw Lori on the other side of the door.
“Oh thank Goodness!”
She cried out in relief as she hugged Lori.
“Grace!!! Oh Grace!”
Lori hugged her back tightly, blinking back hard tears.
Grace broke away quickly to give Lori a chance to see the baby.
