The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72

His brother on the other hand, oh no, Lyle had fought with everything in him.

、 34 ༤

And when Lyle and Gabriel had that final fight that left Lyle bleeding out in the woods and Gabriel leaving victorious. No one dared to voice an opposition.

Not even Elliot, who ordinarily, should want to avenge his elder brother’s death.

He went downstairs and found Jenny talking to Tony. She looked worried as she rubbed her fingers on her apron nervously.

She turned when she saw him approaching and bowed slightly. They only did that when Lori wasn’t around Mz

“Tony was just telling me that Lori didn’t come with him. She told him she had somewhere to go and she’d be back before dinner.”

“What? She didn’t tell me that..

Gabriel said as he fished out his phone from his pocket, dialing her number.

‘Did she tell you where she was going?”

He asked and Tony shook his head.

“I don’t know. I tried to ask her but it seemed like she was in a rush. I assumed you already gave her permission…”

Gabriel shook his head.

“No. I didn’t give her any permission.”

Gabriel pressed his phone to his ear.

No response.

She wasn’t picking her calls either.

He sighed as he turned to Jenny and Tony who were waiting for him to say something.

‘You said she mentioned shell be back before dinner right?”

He asked and Tony nodded.

‘We’ll wait till then.”

He pocketed his phone.

Lori wouldn’t run away, or do something stupid, he knew her, she was too smart for that. So he was going to give her the benefit of doubt before tracking her phone.

When he gave her a new phone it already had a spyware that let him know where her location was at all times, as long as her phone was on, Gabriel could

track her.

But not now, she said she’d be back before dinner so he would wait.

Chapter 72

He went back upstairs and disappeared into his study.

“Anything?!”

Sabine asked and Vara shrugged.

“Nothing! Nothing sensible at all!”

“Gabriel planned this very well. Very smart too. All the doctors, nurses and specialists that handled the delivery of his daughter were all werewolves. And they’re his werewolves. They wouldn’t spill a word.

Sabine scoffed. He was craftier than she gave him credit for. He certainly knew how to hide his tracks and he was hiding it well. Whoever this woman was, she must be important enough for him to be keeping her covered up and giving her so much protection.

From the little she and Vara had been able to gather, the woman was probably living in his house, she was still unrecognizable to them but at least they had ruled out the fact that she was working with him because she had mysteriously appeared when his daughter was born.

His daughter whom they could also not find enough information about. Sabine wondered exactly why he was going to great lengths to protect the two of them. It was weird, it was annoying.

Vara left the room to take a call, Sabine sat on her chair fuming. Ever since she made Gabriel give her his word she had been wondering what she was going

to ask for. It was her only chance and she knew he would honor the promise, but she didn’t know what she could or would ask for.

If she found out enough about him, enough of his secrets and what he was hiding, she would use it against him.

Vara walked back into the room, there was a huge smile on her face.

“I think we have something.”

“What’s that?”

Sabine sprang to her feet.

“There was a woman in the same hospital ward.. She donated her breast milk to abriel’s daughter. Our contact only found her nurse because she talked to

Gabriel Caine about a breast milk donor.”

Well! Does the woman have a name?!”

Vara sighed.

“We’ll have to pay her to talk. But it won’t be long before we find out whether or not it’s an actual lead.

Jack Joseph Fuller.

That was what the plain grey concrete slab on the grass said. She brought flower daisies. The ones she could pick while she was on her way to the

cemetery.

She placed them on the grave. She stood, quietly for a while, for a long time. Beuse she didn t know what to say. Or what to do.

The grief she was feeling, it was heavy on her chest, but she didn’t know how to our it out.

Or what to do with it.

Chapter 72

She stood there for a long time, no words, no tears, no emotion, just standing there and watching.

After a long time Lori placed a hand on the cold concrete slab, then she stood up and walked away.

As she walked out of the cemetery, she decided she wasn’t quite ready to go hom yet, she somehow missed her old apartment. The smallness of it, the

coziness, besides some of her stuff was still there and she still paid the last month rent, she didn’t know why she did that.

She didn’t have a key on her, but she always left a spare in a good hiding spot.

She took a cab and went to her apartment, plucking the key from the crooked floor crack that she covered with a fake plant. Her neighbor wasn’t around or

so she thought.

If he was around he would have heard her coming in, or probably he didn’t care.

Everything was just as she left it, only with some accumulated dust. She went to er bedroom and curled up on the mattress. She sort of missed it. She missed her apartment, even though quite frankly it didn’t have much to offer her it served her well.

She looked at her closet and deliberated packing some more clothes she would need.

She looked at the time, it wasn’t that late yet, and her phone wasn’t beeping like crazy which meant either Gabriel didn’t care that she wasn’t back home yet

or somehow Tony had not gotten home yet.

After a while she went to her closet and picked out some clothes she decided she might need. They weren’t many, but they were the ones she wished she

didn’t leave. Just a few of them, some more outing appropriate clothes.

After packing them she decided to do a little clean up, everything was dusty. So she grabbed a napkin and started wiping down on all the surfaces, then she dusted the furniture and mopped the hardwood floor. By the time she was done, the time had gone, she had spent way more time than she wanted to and she was already mildly pissed off at herself for staying so long.

She dumped her cleaning supplies in the bathroom snd went back to her room to pick up her stuff and found out that she had at least ten missed calls from

Gabriel.

Her heart jumped.

That was around five minutes ago.

She was still contemplating on whether or not she would call him back when there was a loud knock on her door.

Did Gabriel come for her?

She asked herself as she rushed to the door and opened it.

No. It wasn’t Gabriel.

It was Asher.

And Jared.
