The Sunmit had gone on like nothing happened. And Lori quickly found out that she hated it. She was bored out of her mind and while she tried to stay interested and awake, she was completely exhausted. Gabriel on the other hand tried to make up for the lost time by being actively involved in the discussions. Lori just wished she could go home and they would snuggle in bed. It was really all she wanted but she had to hold out for much longer.

Not to mention her mind was in an emotional turmoil. She couldn’t stop thinking about Sabine and what she had attempted. The woman was crazy.

Lori hated her. She wanted so badly to hurt the woman just like she hurt her but she had her son and Lori had no idea where her boy was. Or where she

could be hiding him.

They had searched. They were still searching… before Sabine had hid in the shadows, but now her new partnership had emboldened her. Made her bold

enough to come to the Summit.

Lori wished she could have used Vara for something. Leverage maybe, but it didn’t seem like the woman cared much for her beta.

The summit ended hours later. With several pleasantries following after. Lori stayed glued to Gabriel’s side, she felt safer at his side… than anywhere else. Especially with Kate’s piercing eyes on her.

She was angry. Whatever stupid plan they had come up with had gone awry.

She had been able to fight the blood magic, but she could still feel the after effects of it in her bloodstream.

The sluggishness… the tiredness.. she felt weary too.

Gabriel could feel everything she was feeling and he tried to calm her down as much as he could. He was constantly holding her, talking in her mind or

simply rubbing her fingers.

Lori was grateful when he finally whispered that they could leave. The after party was still ongoing… but it was already considered a respectful time to leave and they could.

On their way out the ran into one of the alphas Myra had told her about.

Imani. A gorgeous woman with heavy gold accessories. She was clothed in a traditional colorful attire and her long raven black silky hair was adorned with gold threads.

“Caine. It’s been how many years?”

She asked and Gabriel smiled.

At least five. You don’t call anymore.”

Imani turned to Lori,

“You must be his mate. My name is Imani.

Lori smiled and stretched out her hand. The woman seemed warm and friendly. She liked her already.

“Lori. Nice to meet you.”

‘Oh the pleasure is mine. I saw you when you walked in… you were spectacular.”

Lori blushed furiously. The woman sounded like she was in awe of her. She couldn’t believe it.

“Thank you.”

“Lori this is Imani. We met years ago, when I was still fighting for my place as Alpha. We were in somewhat of a similar predicament, except she had to fight

her three brothers to death for her throne. She’s Alpha of the Sahara Hounds.”

‘You flatter me Caine.”

Imani replied bashfully.

Imani turned to Gabriel again.

A nephilim mate? The goddess has favorites.”

Gabriel chuckled.

And you’re one of them. I heard you finally found your mate.”

Imani sighed.

“Took me at least twelve years but I did. And he was literally at the edge of the world. But it made the wait worth it.”

“I’m happy for you.”

He remarked and the woman nodded.

‘I leave in a week. We should have lunch before I leave. I would love your company.”

“That can be arranged. I hope you’d remember to call this time.”

‘Oh I will.”

Imani said as she turned to Lori.

‘I wish you well.”

She said as she left.

Lori glanced at Gabriel as she smiled at him.

‘Finally we get to go home and forget about this terrible terrible night.”

She murmured as they walked out of the building. The night air was chilly, Lori rubbed her arms.

Gabriel shrugged off his jacket as he placed it over her arms.

“Yes. After everything that happened today… I just want to lie in bed with you.”

“And sleep.”

Lori added.

“Sleep. Of course.”

Gabriel nodded, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“Calling the chauffeur to bring the car around.”

He murmured.

“Caine!!”

A voice called from behind and Gabriel tightened his fists.

“What do you want?!”

He asked as he glared at Axel.

Axel raised his hands in mock surrender as he walked towards them, a smirk on his face.

“Relax! Relax! I just want to apologize for what happened earlier.”

“We’re leaving.”
