Chapter 71
She had arrived in front of Astra's door. Bloodied, tired and with no shred of hope left in her. She thought the pain would take her away. She wanted it to.
She had even risked going up to the penthouse. But no... she couldn't risk Gabriel seeing her like that. Not in that condition.Especially when she wasn't sure if she was still being followed by Sabine’s men. She wanted to make sure she was as safe as possible.Sabine had her ways... and she didn't want to put all of them in jeopardy. So she had cleaned up herself as much as she could in the bathroom and rushed out.She took a taxi to Astra’s place. Despite feeling uneasy about going back to the woman’s place. After everything she had told her and how she had rejected her, Lori wanted nothing more than to stay far away from her.But she was nephilim. And she was just like Lori and Lori couldn’t avoid or deny the fact that she would be better suited to helping her than Gabriel ever would.She had to atRelated chapters

Elliot had given everything he could. Said his piece, told them all he knew, yet it still wasn't good enough for Gabriel to let him out of the cage he was in.He wasn't complaining. At least he wasn't being tortured, or being starved. They had been treating him fairly well and he almost didn't mind that he was in a cage. Gabriel believed that Lori was alive. Draco was still skeptical. The two of them were scouring the city, with Gabriel barking demands on the phone to Draco running helter skelter. In the midst of all the drama Elliot wondered where his brother was, what he was doing and if he had the good sense to at least flee the country before Gabriel focused his full attention on him. At least Gabriel's attention wasn't on him anymore, even though he didn't know his fate, Elliot didn't worry endlessly about it.Whatever came to him, he probably deserved it. He wasn't hoping for a death punishment, but if he was banished from the pack for treason, he coul

"When will I see Emilia?!"Lori asked eagerly as she looked around. They were at the penthouse. Without Emilia the place looked cold, it looked like no one had lived in it for a while. Lori and Gabriel had been talking for the last one hour. She had recounted everything that had happened to her and his anger had grown considerably with every word she said. She told him everything, not leaving out any detail. If anybody could help her it was him, nobody else but him. "Draco is bringing her to you.... Grace and Emilia were taken to a safe house in the mean time, to protect them..."He said and Lori nodded."I understand.""Being without you... it felt like eternity.."Gabriel said as he reached for her hands, he held them in his. Lori smiled."I couldn't feel you down the bond. I couldn’t even feel the bond. I was going crazy..."Lori touched her neck, remembering how fast the scar had healed, almost like it was never there. "Oh. I

"Elliot!"Lori squealed as she ran up to him. Elliot hugged Lori back tightly."You're alive!"He whispered as he held on to her."In the flesh."Lori said as she slowly broke away. He looked okay. Tired but okay. Lori surveyed his cell. It was clean, there was a bed and a table with some leftovers. He looked like he was eating well. He smelled clean too."I was so worried! That was so stupid... let's never do something that stupid again."He warned and Lori chuckled."You mean you biting me? I definitely agree."She said as she hugged him again.She turned to look at Gabriel who was standing and watching them from the outside like a guard on duty. She gave him a pleading look but he didn't budge. "Gabriel..."She started and he shook his head.Elliot tugged at Lori's sleeve. "Lori... he has to do what he has to do."Elliot said and Lori shook her head."He's also the alpha. His word is law."Elliot

Lori woke from a deep sleep to the sound of shuffling. That was strange, she thought as she slowly turned on her side and touched the other side of the bed. It was empty. Gabriel wasn't in bed. Half-conscious, she wriggled her arm free from the sheets and slapped at the bed again, searching for Gabriel. He wasn't in bed and his sheets were cold.Lori opened her eyes, rubbing at her sleep filled eyes as they slowly adjusted to the light. She saw Gabriel in front of the closet dressing. He was putting on a suit. He already wore his pants and he was buttoning up his white shirt. It was a weekend. He didn't have work did he?!She thought as she stared at his back as he adjusted his shirt. Sensing she was awake, he slowly turned and smiled at her. The rays of the sun illuminated his face, making him look slightly golden. "You're finally awake."He said with a grin on his face as he watched Lori stretch. "First comfy bed in days. I could

Seeing his grandfather again wasn't as worrisome as he expected it to be. Gabriel was still reeling from the fact that he had found Lori safely. He really wasn't as worried as he should have been about the elder meeting. Although Kate mentioning the fact that Lori might be the purpose of the elder meeting did put him off a bit. He had mentioned to them during the last meeting that he had a mate, he just chose to omit that she was a werewolf. He would have to tell them about that too. The pack house was usually used for meetings, it was also sort of a recreational home for most wolves. Some stayed all year round, many came around every month. Gabriel himself used to visit a lot, that was before Emilia was born and he started to visit less and less. He didn't see many of the elders often either. He mostly saw the wolves he worked with. The guards, the ones that worked in the underground and the many other wolves that he had placed in all of his family empire. He saw the

The transformation was brutal, but Lori knew when it was complete. When the pain stopped. And at the end of it all... she crawled to the closet mirror with all that was left of her strength to look at her self.Gray. Her wings were the color gray, large spans with mottled feathers tethering at the edge of gray and pure white. They were massive, and they probably weighed twice as much as her with the way they dragged her down. They were a menace too! Large, clumsy and heavy. How was she every expected to move with something like this?!At least the worst was over... she just needed to shift back, or at least find a way too. Having wings wasn't as interesting as it looked, she'd much rather stick to the other powers that she had. No word from the guard. Or Gabriel, but Draco had called back. He was on his way. And no, he didn't find Astra. Nor did the guard whom she had sent to check her apartment. She must have left as she mentioned she would, probably as

There was little time to dress, but Gabriel had the good sense to order a dress for her beforehand. It was delivered at the nick of time. While a staff from the building management cleaned the penthouse, the personal chef Gabriel hired started on preparing his grandfather’s favorite dinner. Lori put on her dress and was in awe with it. It was a strapless gown with side split. How Gabriel had managed to get her size, she had no idea because the dress fit perfectly! Much more than she would have imagined. Simple yet bold, the gown stopped right above her knee. It had a strapless bodice encrusted with feathers on the neckline. The figure-flattering silhouette of the gown highlighted her curves in a subtle but sexy way. There was even a box complete with a pair of nude heels to match. Lori struggled with her makeup. Mostly because she didn’t have much to begin with. She always told herself she would buy more makeup but there had been no time for frivolities. But

Dinner was awkward. And quiet. Lori tried hard to make conversation but the words of Gabriel's grandfather still hung heavily in her heart. She was so relieved when he left, hastily taking off her heels and disappearing into the room. She took off her nice dress and wore some pajamas. She just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep. For the longest time.This wasn't the first time she had been told she wasn't good enough for Gabriel. And something told her it wasn't going to be the last. What if they were right? What if they were all right? They couldn't all be lying. She left the necklace on her, her fingers touched it slightly. She liked the necklace. It was a pretty and thoughtful gift. She had to give Gabriel something in return. Since he mentioned that it was customary. Gabriel came back in moments later after seeing his grandfather off and saw Lori laying on the bed, her back to him. It was late, but not late enough for her to go to bed. "Lo
