Chapter 177: SACRIFICE
Aria hugged herself at the corner of her room, she blanched as she recalled the fact that Emma had died because of the strange illness that she suffered.
"No... that’s not me. It was not because of me..." She kept repeating the same thing over and over again, as she hugged herself. Her whole body was trembling violently. She couldn’t think straight.
Aria had to use a lot of effort to rein in her guilty feelings, so no one would be suspicious of her, because they must know that the death of a child that she wasn’t even fond of wouldn’t be able to affect her like this.
When Dalia entered the room after she heard what happened in the orphanage, Aria raised her head and immediately rushed toward her. She couldn’t stop shaking, her fear turned into anger.
"What ACTUALLY HAPPENED! HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE CHILDREN DYING!" Aria roared and this made Dalia hastily try to calm her down.
"Lower your voice, Mistress, lower your voice, we can’t let anyone know about this!" She said in panic, as she kept staring at the door, afraid that it would burst open all of a sudden and they would find out what they had done. "Calm down first."
Dalia held her hand and sat the furious Aria down on the sofa, as she huddled her body again. She hugged herself and her eyes were not focused.
"The child is dead," Aria repeated the words. "The sorcerer said no one will die, those three children are to be sacrificed, but he needs only their souls, but they will not die..."
Out of jealousy, when Cane went to the Moon Dew pack with Iris, Aria and Dalia went to the Riverside pack to meet with a sorcerer. The man claimed that he could sever the mate bond between mates, but said some kind of sacrifice had to be offered.
