The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: IT’S A NEW LIFE

Aria ended up waiting for almost two hours when, finally, Jace came out of the study room. He looked helpless when he saw she had been crying, while she was waiting.

"Cane wants to see you," he said simply, while Aria glared at him and wiped her tears with the backs of her hands, as if it was Jace who had made her wait for hours.

Seeing that, the Beta shook his head and went away. He had a lot of things to do and didn’t have time to indulge in the problem with Aria.

Inside the room, Cane was putting back a book that he had just read and glanced over when she approached him.

"I am sorry, Alpha. I will remember it next time," Aria said, lowering her head. She looked ashamed. She had said the same line in the past several times when Cane reminded her about this trivial matter, but she kept forgetting about it.

This time, it was different, there was a consequence that she had to face, thus she would be careful with this next time.

"What do you want to say?" Cane turned around and looked at her. He didn’t look angry, nor did he look disappointed, but he seemed so distant, as if Aria was staring at a different person entirely.

"There is a problem in the orphanage," she said in a small voice. "A little girl fell sick three days ago and today, we found two other children suffering with the same symptoms."

Cane frowned. Shifters didn’t usually get sick, even though the little ones didn’t have the same healing ability like that of an adult shifter, but their immunity to illness was above average humans.

"Has Grace been informed?" Cane started to walk toward the door, while Aria followed behind him, she looked glad that the Alpha took her words seriously.

"Yes, Grace has been informed, Ardand also came this morning to check the situation, but neither of them could find out the reason for their sickness." Aria needed to half run to catch up with him.

==========================

"Come on! Come on! You are going to miss this!" Ethan was being impatient, he seemed even more childish than Ania right now.

By the time Iris finally squatted down next to the gamma, she was out of breath, but then her eyes widened when she saw what actually they wanted her to see. She couldn’t believe that she got to witness something like this.

Below the mound, there was a hole, it was a rabbit hole, where they were watching a rabbit give birth to five bunnies!

Iris was lucky, because she managed to witness the last bunny being born. They were so small and their skin was pinkish and wrinkly.

"They look like mice!" Ania exclaimed, she frowned. "Where is the fur?" She blinked her eyes, confused. "Are they really bunnies?"

"Silly, of course, they are bunnies, when they grow older and eat enough, their fur will grow," Ethan explained.

"But, maybe it’s a mistake, maybe they are really mice," Ania insisted. In her childish mind, bunnies would look just like rabbits, only much smaller in size. "They are not cute."

"What happened here?" Cane asked, while Aliana walked beside him and gave a rundown of the events that had happened in the orphanage. As for Aria, she walked behind the two of them. She didn’t look happy to be left behind like this, but she kept her mouth shut. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
