The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Training was harder than she expected.

Myra Blackwell was a thorough woman and even though she was very gentle with Lori, she made it clear that she would not let Lori leave until she saw

progress.

Shifting… shifting was a different ballgame, requiring her to tap into a part of herself that had been dormant for years. Years and years.

But weirdly, it took an hour, an hour of encouragement and sheer will before Lori finally transformed.

She didn’t know why she thought it’d be as painful as the first time, but it was relatively painless this time. And now she could feel more changes coming in

that she had not noticed before.

Not only were her fingers transformed into claws… her toes had become something somewhat resembling talons, pale and curved, they looked sharp to the

touch, but surprisingly they looked like they were useful.

They had better grip than her hands ever would. Excellent… at least now she knew what they could be used for.

Myra studied her as she shifted, then studied her features even more.

“Your wings are sturdier than I expected them to be.”

She noted as she looked at them again.

“Can you move them?”

She asked and Lori shrugged.

‘I don’t know. Can I?”

“They’re your wings. You should be able to.”

“Think of it like an extra limb. Just think about it moving and your brain will send down that impulse and do the rest.

Lori concentrated hard enough and willed the wings to flap. They did!

It freaked her out a bit but Myra was smiling.

“Good! Good.”

‘How will my wings be useful? I think they’re cumbersome when it comes to combat.”

She confessed and Myra disagreed.

“They won’t be. Besides… fighting in this form should give you some advantage. You can fly, your powers will manifest quickly in this form. The possibilities

are endless.”

“All that’s left it tapping in.”

Myra said as she threw a spear at Lori.

Lori caught it quickly. She didn’t know how but it was as if a sixth sense of hers had sensed the spear coming and acted fast.

She grinned. Oh this was turning out to be very fun!

“Good reflexes. That’s a good thing.”

Myra noted as she studied Lori’s stance.

‘But with wings like that… you’re standing wrongly…”

“Oh.

Lori looked at her feet.

‘How do I stand?’

“Wings tucked in, left leg forward and your arms poised for combat.”

Lori nodded as she followed her instructions.

“Good. I said wings tucked in because even though your wings are quite magnificent, it has weak vulnerable spots.”

Lori nodded.

“We’ll start with the basics today. Hopefully one day we might be able to move on to flying lessons.”

Denver, Approximately two weeks to the Alpha’s summit.

“Well… you were right about Sabine having a hand in this. She’s been making a few calls.”

‘Besides… there’s no information on her being on any flight log… I’m not sure she left the country like we were led to believe.”

Draco said as he dropped a file on Gabriel’s glass table. It contained the flight logs, Sabine’s property and all other information he had been gathering on her since Lori came back.

Gabriel looked up from his monitor, his eyes a little slow. Drinking before work was a bad idea, but he had only taken them out of courtesy for the French

client he met for breakfast.

Now it was barely noon at work and he was having a hard time concentrating. He was in the process of finding another CEO for his company.

With so many things to do and so many things happening, Gabriel just wanted more time with his family and his pack. The company was big enough for him to release the reins to someone competent. He could always check in once in a while, but he didn’t think he needed to.

He had some reputable people already vying for the spot, but he wanted to be very thorough with the process so it would still be a long time before he decided to interview any of them.

Draco had left the day before to find information on what Kate said like he promised. Gabriel didn’t just expect him to be back so soon with-news.
