The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177

Lori woke from a deep sleep to the sound of shuffling. That was weird, she thought as she slowly turned on her side and touched the other side of the bed.

It was empty, Gabriel wasn’t in bed. Half-conscious, she wriggled her arm free from the sheets and slapped at the bed again, searching for Gabriel.

He wasn’t in bed and his sheets were cold.

Lori opened her eyes, rubbing at her sleep filled eyes as they slowly adjusted to the light.

She saw Gabriel in front of the closet dressing.

He was putting on a suit. He already wore his pants and he was buttoning up his white shirt.

It was a weekend. He didn’t have work did he?!

She thought as she stared at his back as he adjusted his shirt.

Sensing she was awake, he slowly turned and smiled at her. The rays of the sun illuminated his face, making him look slightly golden.

“You’re finally awake.”

He said with a grin on his face as he watched Lori stretch.

“First comfy bed in days. I couldn’t help it…”

Gabriel nodded.

‘I noticed.

“Where are you going? You said we were staying in today.”

Gabriel shrugged.

I unfortunately can’t. There’s this emergency elder meeting my grandfather has called and I want to see what the fuss is about…”

And to be fair… I have been ignoring them altogether for a while.”

Lori nodded.

‘Oh okay. That’s good.”

She said and Gabriel sighed.

‘I know I promised to sleep in…

He started and the sound of the doorbell interrupted them.

“Must be Draco.

Gabriel said as he left the room.

Better put on some decent clothes, she thought as she swung her feet off the bed.

They had both gone to bed after a long night. Gabriel wouldn’t let her out of his sight even when he had work to do so they were practically attached at the hip as he did all his duties.

Lori was also a bit glum about Elliot leaving.

Technically he was leaving to find his brother but Lori didn’t think there was any chance of him actually finding him.

She wished the could help but she didn’t know how. She also had no clue as to where he could be.

It seemed to her that Gabriel knew exactly what he was doing and was trying to get rid of Elliot.

She picked out a robe after failing to find something suitable to wear. She briefly looked at her bracelet again. There was a nagging feeling at the back of her mind, one that was telling her to take it off and she pushed it aside quickly.

After wrapping the robe around her slender frame Lori walked out of the bedroom wondering why she wasn’t hearing Draco’s voice.

Kate?! She wondered as she saw the woman in front of the main door.

“Oh Lori! You’re back! I’m so happy!”

Kate squealed as she ran towards Lori and threw her hands over her. Lori squirmed under her touch, mildly irritated and still confused.

She gently pushed Kate away, smoothening the front of her robe and trying to arrange her bed nest of a hair into something more presentable as she saw Kate’s perfect low bun. Not a hair out of place.

“Kate. Hi.
