The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77

‘Lori, I told you before. I told you I would always protect you.”

‘You should have called me.”

A call! A text! Anything really to let me know that you’re okay and good!”

“I was worried sick! Worried sick! I started to think something bad had happened to you!”

“You could have called me!”

“I’m sorry.”

She said and he shook his head.

“That’s not okay! It isn’t.”

“I promised you I’d keep you safe and always protect you. I told you you could tell me anything. With that bastard in town why did you feel it was safe to go

back to your apartment when you know he must have been looking for you?!”

Lori sighed.

Yes that was true. She shouldn’t have assumed that he had just left town. Knowing Asher and knowing how little he knew about what was going on in her

life, he would have been curious.

He wouldn’t have been able to stay away.

‘I’m really sorry Gabriel…”

“You know… you know how I feel about you. I’d never let anyone hurt you. And I promise those guys are going to pay for what they did.”

“But you Lori. You have to start trusting me more.”

Lori wanted to protest that she did but she didn’t say a word.

‘Seeing you like that today… it made me so angry..”

‘I didn’t even think that I could feel that amount of rage… that amount of anger owards someone.”

“No more secrets Lori. Please.”

Lori nodded.

‘No more secrets.”

She said.

He reached out and held her hand in his, kissing her palm softly.

Back in the mansion, everyone in the main house was worried and still awake, at least until they saw Lori.

‘Oh! Lori! You’re back!”

My Gregory called out the minute Gabriel and Lori entered the foyer.

Lori nodded.

‘I am. Thanks.”

He searched her face and saw the angry red mark on it.

“Are you okay?!”

She nodddd.

“I am. Just a bit sore.”

She answered honestly.

*Sylvia! Bring some ice for Lori.”

He called out as Sylvia ran back into the kitchen.

“We’ll be upstairs.”

He told Gregory as he led Lori uostairs.

Lori wanted to stop at the nursery but Gabriel shook his head.

“No. Not yet.”

He said as he led her into his room.

Moment later, Sylvia arrived with the ice.

Gabriel instructed her to bring her dinner up for her.

‘I m fine. Really..”

Lori lied as she winced while settling on the bed.

Gabriel shook his head.

“You’re not.”

Let me see your belly. I remember him hitting you there.”

Lori raised her top slowly. He was right. There were angry purplish bruises on he ribs.

He frowned at them.

“We ll need more ice.”

He said to himself as he touched them gently.

‘Does it hurt?”

He asked her and she nodded.

“Yea. When I move, it hurts a bit.”

She confessed and he sighed.

“Okay. Let me get you more ice.”
