Chapter 35
Boy am I glad I didn’t leave!
Asher said as he smirked. He turned to Jared who looked a little more serious. Jared was standing against the door frame, his eyes down, his lip busted.
Lori took several steps back.
How?
How did they know she was here? Why did they come at this exact very moment that she was in the apartment? Those were the questions that were running through her mind. She couldn’t stop thinking about them.
And how utterly stupid she had been to believe that she was finally rid of the duo. She would never get rid of them.
They were the kind of past that kept haunting, never stopping, never letting her enjoy her life.
“What.. what are you doing here?”
She asked as she hugged herself, putting distance between the two of them, clutching the bag of clothes she held to her chest.
“What am I doing here?! Oh well, let’s see, I came to say hi.”
Asher said as he laughed. He walked into her apartment, his eyes roaming around.
“Sweet place you got here. Doesn’t seem like you stay around much.”
He mused.
Jared followed suit, he didn’t say a word to her, he just glared at her and followed Asher.
Asher turned to her and snatched the bag from her hands, Lori jerked away in fear.
“Clothes. Are you going somewhere?”
He asked and Lori shrugged.
“Where have you been these days?”
He persisted. Lori stayed mute.
Asher sighed, his patience was running thin, she was testing his very last nerve.
I asked you a question Lori. Now I wouldn’t want this to escalate more than it already has. So when I ask you a question, you answer me.”
“Understood!”
He barked and Lori nodded.
Asher sighed in relief.
He sat down on the nearest sofa, rummaging through her bag,
“So where have you been?”
“Work.”
Lori was only able to muster a word.
“And where exactly is work?”
He asked as he signaled to Jared to check the house.
“It’s far. In the city.”

Chapter 35
“Who the fuck are you?!”
The one he didn’t recognize asked as he ran towards Lori and grabbed her. Lori protested but he only held her tighter. A hand to her neck and the other holding her hands behind her waist.
Oh he should have known. He should have known that something was wrong.
When it was late and Lori didn’t come home, during that moment he got really worried and he checked the spyware. It was too late, she had spent way longer than she had said she would spend outside and he had a feeling something bad had happened.
Her phone location showed that she was in her apartment and that baffled him, he decided to check it out anyways, calling her multiple times while he was on the way. She didn’t pick her calls.
Now he wished he had come sooner.
“Unhand her now.”
Gabriel said in a calm cool voice and Asher chuckled.
*Or what?”
He asked as he slightly raised his shirt up. He was carrying. A glock 9mm. He had a cruel smirk on his face, he probably thought that Gabriel would be intimidated, but no, Gabriel had never been scared of guns.
Why would he? He was an alpha. He could heal from a gun wound in a day or two, if it wasn’t so severe. And if it wasn’t a silver bullet, it was practically useless. It would be just like he was taking an off day.
Still, Gabriel pretended to look intimidated while he examined his options.
“Let her go. If you do, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
He pleaded as he raised his hands.
Asher seemed to be considering his options. On one hand, he was very curious, he wanted to know what the relationship between this man and Lori was. Were they dating? Was she seeing someone new? Is that why she was so tight lipped about him?
He was a rich man, even from his casual dressing, Asher could smell someone who was born in money from a mile away. The way he carried himself, the way he talked and the way he seemed to look down on people.
Yes he was rich all right. Which meant he probably had never experienced hardship for a day in his life. He would be easy to beat.
But the way he had burst into the room, Asher looked at the door again, that couldn’t be normal. Either the door was really brittle or the man was freakishly
strong.
“Who are you to her?”
He asked as he casually brought out the gun pointing it slightly at Gabriel.
Oh he was going to regret that. Gabriel thought as he clenched his teeth.
“A friend.”
Asher laughed.
“A friend?!”
He scoffed as he turned to Lori.
“You say he works with you and he says you’re friends. Which do I believe?”
“Tell me Lori?!”
He asked and Lori sighed. She was exhausted and Jared was practically squeezing the life out of her with his death grip.
She blamed herself for coming to the apartment in the first place. And putting not only herself in danger, but Gabriel. Asher was carrying a gun. How could

she forget, he almost always had one with him.
And now she could get hurt, even worse, Gabriel could get worse.
He would be in the situation if not for her.
“Please just let him go. It’s me you want right?”
She asked.
Asher shrugged.
“I don’t know. Depends on if there’s something you could offer me in the first place.”
“But there’s really nothing is there Lori? You lost our baby…”
Lori fought the urge to gag.
Our baby?
“Our baby?”
She said as she chuckled. Jared elbowed her again, whispering in her ear that she should be quiet. She ignored him, wincing through the pain.
“I don’t know what you want. I don’t know why you’re here. But I’m tired.”
“If you want to hurt me,
do whatever you want with me, but please let him go.”
She said and Gabriel glared at her.
“Lori…”
He said in a warning tone but she didn’t listen.
“It’s not him you want. And he doesn’t even know who the two of you are so there’s no point.”
She said and Asher chuckled.
“You seem really eager to protect this man.”
He mused while glaring at Lori.
That was his chance, Gabriel thought as he saw how distracted Asher was. He could disarm him in seconds.
Gabriel lunged at him, pushing Asher on the floor. Asher lost his balance and fell, but quickly tried to reposition himself and fire a shot but he missed, he fired at the wall next to the door instead and Gabriel slapped the gun away from his arm.
With the gun away from them, he lifted Asher up with the collar of his shirt and punched his face. Twice.
He gave him another punch in the stomach.
“Hey! Hey! What are you doing?”
Jared asked nervously as his eyes darted around nervously. The gun was at the opposite end of the room.
If he had to pick it up, Gabriel would notice, besides, dragging Lori around would be cumbersome.
He threw Lori to the side and went for the gun anyways.
Big mistake.
Gabriel had anticipated the move.
He rushed towards the gun and picked it up, pointing it at the both of them.

Chapter 35
Asher was on the floor struggling to stand up, blood dripping from his mouth. Jared stood next to him, his hands raised in surrender.
“Don’t fucking move.”
He warned in a low deadly tone that Lori had never heard him use before.
He turned to Lori, beckoning her with a wave of his hand,
“Come here.”
He said and she ran towards him.
Gabriel hugged her with his free hand and put her behind him.
“You’re safe now.”
He whispered gently to her.
Lori held on to him with all her might.
