The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223

The waiter tried to offer her another drink but she politely declined. He was werewolf

maybe the human Luna of one of the alphas she met.

“Hi.

Someone said from behind and Lori turned to look.

“Hello.”

She answered.

too,

just like everyone else in the room. Everyone except her and

The man stood next to her. Lori didn’t quite know how to put it but something about him was weirdly familiar.

He was too with dark brown hair, his tuxedo shirt was buttoned down to reveal a chest full of hair. He was a conventionally handsome man, with vivid hazel

green eyes similar to hers and a mustache.

“We’ve not had the pleasure of meeting.”

He said as he extended his hand.

“No. We haven’t.”

Lori replied.

She didn’t extend hers.

The man looked at her again, when it was clear that Lori wouldn’t shake him he dropped his hand.

‘Axel. Axel Walker.”

She fought the urge to look shocked. This was the alpha Myra had specifically told her to stay away from and he was right in front of her.

“Loretta Wyatt.”

She answered uneasily.

‘I saw when you came in. Your wings are magnificent. I came over hoping to get a closer look but I see you’ve put them away,

‘I have,”

Lori answered dismissively.

The man persisted.

“You must have heard about me. I’m the Alpha of the Shadow Wolfe pack. Your mate and I are not the best of friends but we’re acquaintances… of the

sorts…”

‘He never mentioned

you.”

Axel shrugged. Lori noticed that his eyes were raking all over her body, it made her feel uncomfortable. And small.

She wished she had not gotten rid of her wings… at least she wouldn’t be so intimidated. She would be the one intimidating him.

But then she had put them away and to transform back mid conversation seemed foolish.

“Well… you’re new to our world so it is expected.”

New?!

Lori almost scoffed.

The man looked around swiftly. Lori could see that his eyes were searching for Gabriel.

She couldn’t find him either.

‘I see you’re not drinking.”

He commented.

Lori dropped her glass.

‘I’ve had enough.”

Her glass was still full.

‘Seems you barely had a sip.”

“And why does that matter to you?”

The man chuckled.

‘I like you.”

He said and Lori raised an eyebrow.

‘Excuse me?”

‘You’re feisty. You have a smart mouth on you.”

Smart mouth?!

What did that even mean? Lori wanted to ask but she withheld her question. The sooner this man left the better it was for her.

‘I’m curious about you. Your kind… would you mind answering some questions for me?”

“Perhaps somewhere more private?”

His voice had dropped to a whisper.

“Find answers elsewhere.”

She snapped at him.

Her eyes darted around.

Now where was Gabriel?!

Axel looked offended.

‘Did you somehow forget who you’re talking to?”
