The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189

Dinner was awkward. And quiet. Lori tried hard to make conversation but the words of Gabriel’s grandfather still hung heavily in her heart.

She was so relieved when he left, hastily taking off her heels and disappearing into the room.

She took off her nice dress and wore some pajamas. She just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep. For the longest time.

This wasn’t the first time she had been told she wasn’t good enough for Gabriel. And something told her it wasn’t going to be the last.

What if they were right? What if they were all right?

They couldn’t all be lying. She left the necklace on her, her fingers touched it slightly.

She liked the necklace. It was a pretty and thoughtful gift. She had to give Gabriel something in return. Since he mentioned that it was customary.

Gabriel came back in moments later after seeing his grandfather off and saw Lori laying on the bed, her back to him. It was late, but not late enough for her

to go to bed.

“Lori?!”

“Are you okay?”

He asked as he kicked off his shoes.

Lori nodded as she buried her face in the sheets.

‘Just tired. It’s been a long day I want to get some rest.”

She said and Gabriel nodded.

That wasn’t what was going on with her. It was something else. During dinner he could feel her. She felt dejected. She was sad. His grandfather had said some pretty harsh things. He had partly listened to their conversation while he was on the call.

The old man was a menace. A persistent menace but Gabriel wasn’t going to buy into his crap, of give him the satisfaction of seeing Lori ever again.

Whatever his motives were he wasn’t aware yet, but Gabriel didn’t expect that he’d be so concerned about age old customs and traditions. He was the alpha, not his grandfather. He could choose to make a non werewolf his Luna and nobody in the pack would bat an eyelid.

His members certainly wouldn’t care. He provided for most of them, protected them, they were all under his guidance and protection and he had always done his duty towards them. Many of them who worked with him on a daily basis and had met Lori didn’t have one bad word to say about her.

Frankly they didn’t really care. Besides, it was his personal life. His pack wasn’t in any form of crisis so why did he need to marry for an alliance?!

He just didn’t understand why his grandfather was against them.

“It’s a bit early for you to be sleeping.”

He finally said as he crawled up in bed next to her, he tried to touch her.

Lori shifted away from his touch.

I’m tired Gabriel.”

Gabriel sighed.

“If this is about my grandfather… he only said those things to rile you up… make you worry.”

“But what if he’s right?!”

She retorted.

“What if I’m not the right choice for you?!”

She finally turned and Gabriel saw that her eyes were swollen and red.

She had been crying… how did he not notice that.

Seeing her so sad… the sight made his head ache.
