The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 48

THE ALPHA’S NANNY.

Chapter 48

Dinner ended rather awkwardly. Even though she knew she should stop, she still oured herself another glass of wine. Gabriel eyed her glass.

“Are you sure you want any more of that?”

Lori shrugged.

“It tastes okay.”

“Yes. It does. But you don’t seem like someone who drinks.

‘I don’t. I actually think I’m a lightweight.”

She said and Gabriel nodded.

“Have you ever been drunk before?”

He asked and she nodded.

‘Once. At prom. Some of my classmates snuck in bottles of beer and poured alcohol into the fruit punch. I think we all got drunk from it.”

He chuckled.

“How did it feel?”

Oh she could remember the moment as clear as day and it felt horrible when she thought about it. Really horrible. Everyone was either drunk or slightly

tipsy and the school had sent them all home early.

“It felt weird. Really… I wasn’t that drunk but I kept tripping, even though I wore a short dress and my heels were low.”

Gabriel chuckled.

“But you had fun right?”

She nodded.

‘Yes. It was fun.”

Lori finished the rest of her wine, she wanted to go to bed, but she also wanted sit and talk with Gabriel for hours. She felt like she didnt know much

about him.

I feel like I don’t know anything about you…”

She mused and Gabriel raised his eyebrow.

“Really?”

She nodded.

“Yea. I feel like I know you, but then I don’t know a lot of things about you.”

‘True.’

Gabriel confirmed.

“There’s not much to know to be honest. Before Emilia came into my life, all I did was work. It was my whole life.”

“Oh…”

“Was that disappointing?”

Gabriel asked and Lori nodded.

‘You’re a young rich man, I actually expected more.”

She confessed and Gabriel nodded. There was only little he could tell her, at least without having to go into details about him being a werewolf or an alpha.

Much of his life revolved around being an alpha, there was a lot he wanted to tell her but couldn’t. There was no way he could tell her about him being a

werewolf. At least not presently.

*I… I inherited most of what I have from my parents, my parents inherited what they had from my grandfather. And all my life I’ve been taught how to

manage what was given to me, how it came with great responsibility.”

“There was to be no room for failure, or error and somehow along the line I lost myself in all that…”

‘Oh..

“My parents died years ago. I’m their only child. And being an only child was hard, because they had all these expectations from me… I know they meant

well, but sometimes I wished they let me live my life how I wanted to.”

Lori reached out and touched his hand, he flinched a little, her fingers cold to the touch.

‘I’m sorry. I can’t seem to stay warm.”

She apologized. It was true. He had noticed it a while ago, she was always cold, Gabriel was a warm blooded creature, being a werewolf meant his

temperature was always regulated. Always warm, even during the winter. Lori was the opposite, he wondered if it was her nature.

“That’s okay. I have enough heat for both of us.”

He said as he took her hand in his and enclosed them in his. His arms were deliciously warm. Slightly toasty. Lori sighed in pleasure.

I think you still have the time to live your life the way you want… have fun and ll..”

She said and Gabriel shook his head. When he was younger he used to crave that ifestyle, the late nights at the club, the constant partying and the traveling around the world that most of his acquaintances and agemates had, bu how that he was older, he was actually more content with what he had.

He missed the fact that he didn’t get to experience that sort of lifestyle, but he’t crave for it as much as he did.
