The underground was a scary place. Scary and dangerous, for non-werewolves and for werewolves that were not from the Moon fang pack.It was located deep in the city, like many of Gabriel's other establishment were. Gabriel liked to drop in once a week, mostly unannounced, just to check up on what the werewolves were doing. The Underground used to be a former meeting ground, but then it had become too small and it was used as a training ground. One of the many training grounds the pack had in the city. To a normal human from the outside world, it looked like a fight club, a place where people came to box, fight and where people bet to see people fight. Draco had brought the werewolves who claimed to be part of his pack there, because that was the one of the places they couldn't escape. It was entirely surrounded by werewolves from his pack. And he wanted to be sure they were part of his pack before he provided them with whatever they needed. When Gabriel became Alpha, he would nev

"Lori?"She said in surprise as she took in the sight before her. The stroller with the baby in it and Lori."Mrs Fuller. It’s so nice to see you."She said as politely as she could muster. "Who's baby is that?"The woman asked right away, her eyes set on Emilia and a frown on her face. "I'm a nanny now."She simply said and Mrs Fuller chuckled."A nanny?! That's ironic."It was true. It was pretty ironic, Lori thought as she didn't reply. "Be serious now, who's baby is that?""I am serious."Lori fired back."Since you're here Mrs Fuller, I was wondering if it's possible we talk in private."Lori started and Mrs Fuller shook her head as she raised her hand. She seemed to still be processing Lori's statement. "There's no way someone would give you a job as a nanny! Not after what you did!"She said and Lori sighed.She ignored her statement."Mrs Fuller, if you'll give me a few minutes of your time to explain...""Explain what?!"The woman snapped."There's nothing that comes out

"Sucks about the mother though.""So! How is she?"Gabriel turned to look at her a she glared at her."Don't ever talk about my daughter again. Ever."Sabine made an oooh sound and started laughing."I bet your head is spinning wondering how I know about her, seeing as you kept the whole thing secret and under the wraps.""Unfortunately for you, I happen to know Susannah Garcia and I know her history a lot more better than you!"What?What did she mean?! Gabriel asked as he masked his emotions perfectly, she was trying to rile him up, get a reaction out of him, he wouldn't allow it.Stay calm.He told his wolf as he smiled at her."Do you really have nothing to do but sit around and stalk my life?"He asked."I mean, I'm an alpha, I know how busy and overwhelming it can all be but you sound like you have a lot of free time on your hands to just sit and stalk.""Have you ever considered getting a job? You know that divorce check you got from Andrew won't last forever."That seemed to

Gabriel checked his watch again. He didn’t want to hurry Lori up but they had a long way to go and he already made a reservation to a restaurant in the city, it was far away enough for them to at least hurry.Grace had asked his permission to offer her Suzie’s dress for the dinner and he had no problems with it. Suzie had bought a lot of dresses, many which she intended to wear after the baby was born. She had a generous allowance from Gabriel and she loved lavishing it on fine things.It was quite sad that she didn’t get to wear any of the things she bought. After her death, the staff had packed up all her stuff and put it in the garage, her room had been locked after that, with Gabriel not even daring to open the door to the room. The night she had died had been very hard on all of them, it seemed as if the ghost of Suzie haunted them all, and hung around the room heavily.Gabriel was sure nobody slept a wink that night.The next morning he had ordered that her stuff be put away, h

Where am I? Lori thought as her eyes opened, she felt groggy as she took in her surroundings, slowly, and then she gasped. There was the all too familiar feeling of dread that was pooling deep in her stomach. The dirty brown bed covers, the wall with the peeling paint and the dresser that was in her view, it was all too familiar and scary. All scarily familiar. No! No! This can't be, this can't be! She couldn't be back here, in this same room, where she had so desperately tried to leave. It wasn't possible. What happened? She asked herself as she found out that her hands were tied, so hard that she was already bruising. She wiggled her legs and found out they were tied too, there was no way out.Her eyes darted around the room, she was alone, all alone, that was good, now she had to find a way to leave, because she knew what was coming.She rolled out of the bed and fell hard on the hardwood floor, hitting her head on a pair of old hard brown boots. She ignored the pain, more foc
