He asked and Lori felt her mood dampen again.
She has decided not to tell Gabriel. No need for him knowing and it was of no use either. He already had so much on his plate she didn’t want
“It was good.”
Is eyes widened.
Gabriel’s
“Really? Did you guys get along?”
Lon faked a smile.
“We did. She was nice.“
Gabriel heaved a sigh
“That’s good. I’m happy you guys got along, Kate was so eager to meet you…
Lori nodded.
“She was
ry weird.
She felt a knot forming in her stomach. Why did Kate say all those things if she was so eager to meet her? It all just sounded very
I have something to tell you…”
Gabriel said in a serious bone and Lori sat up quietly.
“What?”
She asked and Gabriel shrugged.
He lifted the baby from Lori’s chest and put her on his. Emilia seemed to snuggle in deeper into his chest as he held her.
Gabriel had been thinking of how best to tell her that Asher was somewhere rotting in a basement waiting for his death sentence. Draco had told him to wait
a little longer, till they found Jared but they had been looking for Jared for a long time now and he was nowhere to be found.
It would take some time to get him and he didn’t want to keep it from Lori any longer.
“What is it Gabriel? You’re scaring me.
“Oh it’s nothing to be scared of
He reassured her and she sighed.
If it was nothing to be scared of why was he taking so long to t
long to tell her.
“My men… they found Asher. They took him a few days ago. I have him in my custody.”
Lori went mute.
Aher?!
Gabriel continued, his eyes on hers as Lori stared at him blankly.
I remember when you told me he would keep getting away with everything he did because he had connections with the cops. I was angry that he would still
be running free and you would always be scared of him coming back to hurt you…”
I wanted to eliminate that possibility. I wanted you to know that he’d never be able to come back and hurt you…..
Lori a ejes became blurty with tears,
“Cabriel…”
Chapter 15
She breathed, her hands on her mouth to stop the sobs from spilling out completely.
Asher Captured. Those two words, she had never thought she’d hear them in the same sentence.
Gabriel reached for
for his phone in his back pocket and showed Lori a video.
It was a short video, but it was a ccty footage that showed a dark dirty basement. Although the lighting was dim, Lori could still make out Asher’s features. Her heart was beating sporadically in her chest as she watched the videos, Gabriel noticed how fast it was heating and he put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down a hit.
Asher was seating in a chair in the middle of the dark empty room, his hands and legs tied, his head was tilted back, facing the ceiling as he let out tired
grants.
She couldn’t believe it..
It really was him
Cabriel paused the video and put his phone on the nightstand.
“I wanted to give you a choice… to tell me what you want me to do to him……….”
Lori shook her head.
She was still in denial. She couldn’t believe it, that the one man who had caused her pain all those months, lacked her up, beat her, raped her, abused her was now sitting in some dark dirty basement awaiting punishment,
From her…
It was surreal.
It felt like something out of a movie. She had given up on the idea of revenge. She never even thought about it for too long because it sounded impossible…. for someone as weak as she wis
She thought all she had to do was live, live and survive every day while running from the evils in her past.
But now… not anymore..
Lori turned to Gabriel
“I want you to punish him..”
“Punish him for the things he did to me… every single one of them.”
Gabriel could hear the pain in her voice, he could even feel it… how hard she was hurting.
“Even if the punishment includes death?”
He asked as he turned to her, her eyes darkened, her expression grim, he had never seen her look like that before… something in her had shifted.
She replied.
“And before you punish him… let him know…let him
m know that I nailed him to the cross,”
“When are you going to go back?! Can’t stay in this cheap motel forever can you?!”
Kevin asked and Vara grunted. The motel was cheap, dirty and falling apart, the rats walked around their room with unabashed arrogance, poking and everything and anything that resembled food. It took Varn a while to get used to them.
She should leave the motel. It wasn’t befitting of a beta of her status. But she was delicious and desperate and when she was bleeding out, it was the nearest motel Kevin could find while they cleaned up and patched her wound up.

In fact, a lot of pressing matters and they had all started right after she led the failed mission that ended up killing all of her team except her and Kevin who had only luckily escaped because he was the designated driver.
Het wound was not healing. Worse, she could not yet go back to Sabine until she felt worthy enough. She had failed. Woefully and miserable and lost good
Sabine would be pissed. Rightfully so, she had her reservations about them rushing the mission.
And oh well, Gabriel

have increased his security, so there was no possible way they would be able to try poing over there again without facing opposition
“You know… I’m not holding you down so you can also leave when you want.”
She retorted,
Kevin hesitated, pacing up and down the small room. He was confused. Conflicted. It was supposed to be a clean and easy job but it turned out to be a disaster.
“It’s not
that easy! I lost all my teammates. All because of you!!”
Vara shrugged.
“I did tell you that it was a dangerous mission! We all knew the risks
“You’re so very lucky in have emerged entirely unscathed.”
Lucky. Oh he was, because she, she was still in pain and she didn’t know if it was because it was a wound from an alpha or because she truly was close to death but her wound was getting significantly worse. Although the blood had stopped, the skin around it had turned to a dark purple enlor
Human pain medication had kept the pain away, at least for an hour or two at most.
- She needed just another chance to redeem herself, because this time she had a better lead. One that they should have thought about earlier.
When asked about Lori’s family, Tony didn’t know much, but he did mention that Lori said she was adopted and had a difficult relationship with her family.
Tony then recalled a conversation that Gabriel had with his beta while he was driving him to work, talking about Lari’s supposed brother who he was trying to find.
That man,
that man was listed Wyatt
Getting to know who Jared was was not as hard as she thought it would be… he had a criminal record; speeding tickets, possession of drugs, breaking and entering, physical assault but somehow he never managed to actually do time for any of them. He had been released on ball, given a ticket and given community service.
Getting a hold of him… well that was the new problem she had,
She needed even more help, from a very old but reliable friend.
