The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187

Gabriel hugged her back. His large hands around her small waist.

They broke away briefly to stare at each other, they lean in to kiss but are interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.

“I guess he’s here…”

Gabriel sighed as he reluctantly broke away from her.

Lori smoothed the front of her dress and touched her hair slightly.

“How do I look?”

She asked and Gabriel grinned.

“Gorgeous!”

He commented.

“By the way… my grandfather will be a little harsh… he might say some things that are not nice. Don’t take it to heart. Please don’t.”

Gabriel pleaded and Lori nodded.

“I won’t. Don’t worry.”

She promised and Gabriel sighed in relief.

Excellent.

Reginald Caine bore little resemblance to Gabriel. Expert for the blue eyes. The man had the same intense look that Gabriel had. With greying hair, and wrinkles on his face, he looked like he was in his seventies. But Lori remembered Gabriel mentioning that he was older.

Much older,

He walked with a cane, but something told Lori that he didn’t need it. He stared at Lori for the longest time and she held his stare. She didn’t cower.

“My grandson tells me you’re Lori.”

“Lori Wyatt.”

Lori said as she stretched her hand.

The old man ignored it.

“So you are his mate?”

He asked and she nodded.

“I am.”

“Gabriel hasn’t told me much about you but it’s nice to meet you sir.”

The old man didn’t give a reply, but still Gabriel led him to the living room.

“The baby’s not around today?”

He asked and Gabriel nodded.

“With everything that has been happening we thought it best to keep her away for a while.”

The old man settled down in the farthest sofa.

“A wise decision.”

“Come. Sit Lori. Tell me about you.”

All about her?! Well then they would never leave the spot.

“Is there anything you’d like to know?”

She asked and the old man nodded.

“Yes. How did you meet Gabriel. Did you know you were mates when you met?”

Lori settled down in the sofa across from the old man.

She shook her head.

“I didn’t even know werewolves existed when I met him. We met at a diner. He wanted me to be Emilia’s nanny.”

“Ooh… so you’re the nanny too?”

“Yes. Yes I am.”

“And your parents?!”

“Never met them. I was dropped off at an orphanage as a baby.”

“That’s quite sad. Did you at least get adopted?”

She nodded.

“I did.”

Best not to mention anything about the Wyatts. Or the equally traumatizing life she had led before meeting Gabriel.

“What did you study?”

He asked and Lori shrugged.

JG

“I’ve actually not attended college yet. But I plan to… as soon as I can.”

The old man shifted in his seat. Clearly very unimpressed with her answers.

“And your nephilim powers. Any sign of them?”

Lori shook her head.

“Not really. I didn’t even know I was one till Gabriel found out.”

Gabriel nodded.

“It’s true.”

“Interesting.”

The man mused. He didn’t sound convinced.

“The chef made your favorite. Venison.”

“I’m not quite hungry now. Maybe a glass of wine first will do.”

He said and Gabriel nodded as he signaled to the chef to bring them some wine.

“I saw a lot of security outside. Is it because of her?”

He asked and Gabriel nodded.

“Partly. You’re here too… so I have to make sure everywhere’s secure.”
