Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 88

"Stop her," Onai commands.

Three nurses block the door. "It's your turn," they growl.

I stare in horror. "No, no I don't know what I'm doing."

The other half of the nurses sing my praises. "Finally, she's getting it."

I glare at them.

Onai gives a look.

They quiet down quickly, but not before an old lady mutters, "We can't even trust her with us, let alone them. It's like trusting a dog to watch your kids for the day."

My head snaps in her direction. I look back at all of the wolf pups. I'm sorry... I'm sorry, did she miss something? Is she seeing this? I'm the dog?

They lead me towards the kids and all the children start growling, even the toddlers-although the noise coming from their chubby cheeks does sound more like babble. I stand as far behind Onai and the caretakers as possible.

"Come here," the mean old lady says to me. "Hopefully you don't try to run any of them over."

Oh my gosh. Is this literally the old woman from Walmart? "I wasn't even the one driving," I say quietly.

She glares at me. "I heard that."

I channel everything good in me not to curse this woman out.

"Alright. Entertain them," she says.

Entertain them? I turn to the kids and they look at me, terrified.

She leans towards me, whispering, "They're in the stranger danger phase of childhood. They may not take too kindly to you." She smiles a little too hard.

Everyone's watching me.

"Um, okay," I start. "Do you guys want to... read a story?"

One kid mutters something in an unintelligible assortment of noises I never knew were humanely, or wolfly, possible, and then they all start going crazy again. Chaos. Mayhem. Uproar. I'm reminded of how much I hate kids.

Charlie's the only exception [paramore anyone?].

I look back at the woman.

"Try harder," she says.
