The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

“We named him Jack.”

Mrs Fuller said after a long silence.

‘Jack Joseph Fuller.”

Lori nodded, forcing a smile on her face. Jack. That was a nice name. A lovely name even.

‘I’m sorry we hid him from you Lori. But you must understand. We were so angry.”

Angry?!

34%

If they were angry then she must have been out of her mind, because as far as memory served her, she was the one who was rushed to the hospital, she was

the one who gave birth to him.

“We blamed you for everything. For his death.”

“Jack. Jack was our miracle baby. He was supposed to be the one who changed things for us.”

‘Yoh have no idea how broken I felt when he died.”

Broken?! Lori scoffed. What about her? It wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for he either.

‘It was like all hope had been snatched away from me.”

Lori shook her head.

No. They didn’t have any right to make her feel that way. To make her feel like she didn’t care about him too.

“He was my son.”

“My son.”

She repeated as she pointed to herself.

‘I put him up for adoption because I loved him. Because I wanted to give him a better life…”

‘Not because I didn’t want him…

Mrs Fuller nodded.

I know. I understand that now. I’m sorry I ever made you feel like it was your fat.”

‘I’m sorry I kept you away from his grave so long…”

I’m sorry. Really.”

Lori sniffed. Blinking away tears as she tried to compose herself.

“Where? Where is he buried?’

Chapter 71

There was a slight pause before Mrs Fuller replied.

At St Joseph Memorial. I can take you there…”

Lori shook her head.

‘I want to go alone.”

“It would be quite hard navigating the…”

“I want to go alone.”

Mrs Fuller nodded.

Okay. I’ll write down his plot number for you.”

After a while Lori left the store, but it didn’t mean she was going home. She dropped off the things she bought in the car and asked Tony to head home

without her.

He refused, protesting lightly but Lori assured him that she would be back home before dinner.

She took the first cab she saw after that to St Joseph’s Memorial.

Gabriel looked at the time, it was getting quite late, Tony and Lori should be back. In the time she had left, Draco had come over with reports. Apparently his grandfather had found out that he had a granddaughter a while ago. At least for the past two months. A nurse under Dr Calloway had given him the information but he chose to stay quiet, even after the baby was born, Gabriel didn’t know if it was because he truly didn’t want to meddle or he was waiting

for Gabriel to inform him himself.

Either way, he had confirmed the story and got angry about it. Which was to be expected, Gabriel only hoped he’d keep his mouth shut in that regard. He loved his grandfather but the man wasn’t only nosy he also talked quite a lot. Times were different, the werewolf world was cutthroat. It was a dog eat dog

existence. Only the strongest could survive.

Alliances, strength, numbers, that was what mattered. Any sign of weakness would be sought after. Especially since Gabriel had fought so hard to be alpha.

He had fought hard, pissed many people off, some of which were family.

It was why he was never fully comfortable with Elliot around. Because he still fel weary, still felt traumatized by how his cousins and distant relatives had attacked him, vying for the position just because they believed they were older a more experienced. Elliot was the only one who never tried. Elliot acknowledged him as alpha, in fact, he was one of the first of his family to do so asides his grandfather.

Anyone knows approximate age for Elliot? Sometimes sees mature, sometimes a teenager.
