Eagle Demon?
Night fell, Arthur had been home since this afternoon, had dinner with his wife and asked how she was doing now. Arthur became suspicious of Livy's growing belly. Until now, Arthur's wife had never told him that she was pregnant and it had been 5 months, which made her stomach even bigger. But Livy always suppresses it with a corset so that it is not so visible. They were now in the living room watching television. Livy who slept on Arthur's thigh, and Arthur who sat while stroking his wife's long hair that was deliberately curled.
“Honey, you have no intention of sleeping, do you?” Asked Arthur, who already had other goals after his wife slept.
“I'm not sleepy yet, dear. I don't know why it's hard to get sleepy this time,” said Livy. Suddenly Arthur asked something unexpected.
“You're not going to explain why your belly is getting bigger by the month?”
DEG!
Livy's eyes immediately opened wide in disbelief. Then she immediately changed her position from sleeping on Arthur's lap to sitting but straightening her body.
'Oh my God! How is this? Do I have to tell the truth? Until whenever if I hide it, because this stomach is getting bigger and bigger, Arthur will get more and more suspicious.' Livy thought while thinking of ways to lie to her husband.
“I... maybe I eat a lot, honey. So my body started to fill out and of course my stomach got bigger. Maybe it's just fat and food,” Livy said with a joke.
'Maybe she thought I didn't know she was pregnant. I knew from the start, so I didn't want the child to come into the world. But for some reason, when Natasha hurt her, I couldn't bear to scold her? I'm also confused about my heart and feelings lately.' Arthur thought.
'Should I just admit that I knew about Livy's pregnancy? But if I do, then Livy will stay away from me even more. No! I will never tell her that I knew about her pregnancy. I'll keep quiet until Livy tells me herself.' Arthur continued, still talking to himself.
“Oh, is that so? But I guess... even fat people don't have bellies like that, honey,” said Arthur. Livy was at a loss for an excuse. She just didn't reply to Arthur.
“You need to rest a lot, honey. It's already late, tomorrow you also have to do homework again, right? You still remember your duties as my slave too, right in this house?” Arthur quipped. Livy was instantly afraid that Arthur would turn into that evil Alpha again. From the look in his eyes, she could already tell that Arthur wanted to be strict with her.
'Arthur, why are you reminding me about slaves again? Is he going to turn into an evil Alpha again? But what Arthur said had some truth to it. After taking care of the house all day like a slave and a maid, I'm also really tired. I'll do what Arthur says so that he doesn't become an evil Alpha again and torture me which will harm my baby.' Livy thought.
“Alright, I'll go sleep in my room.” Livy immediately stood up and walked slowly. Arthur followed her to the room where they usually slept.
In the room, Arthur waited for Livy to fall asleep so that he could leave after this to thwart Willson's hermitage on Mount Helvellyn.
“Go to sleep, I'll read you a story.” Arthur picked up a romance novel and read it. After only a few minutes of reading, Livy was already completely asleep. Arthur flashed his smirk.
“Good, it seems like a good time for me to go.” Said Arthur who then looked at the clock which still showed 23:30.
“In 30 minutes if I don't arrive soon, Gracia will scold me for being late.” Arthur quickly got ready, closed the bedroom door quietly so Livy wouldn't wake up, and descended the stairs slowly as well.
.
Not waiting long, Arthur even approached Gracia at her house in his white car. Taking his cell phone from the dashboard, he put it to his ear.
“I'm already in front of your house. Come out quickly, Gracia!” Then Arthur put the cell phone back on the dashboard after talking to Gracia a little on the phone.
“Why are you here? Didn't we meet at the park near your house?” Gracia asked.
“Tsk! Don't ask so many questions. Let's go to Mount Helvellyn now!” Arthur immediately drove his car at high speed. Of course, using the power of his Alpha too.
They arrived at a mountain that Natasha and Renny had visited earlier in the day. Arthur's car was parked at the bottom of course.
“Come on, we have to hurry! I want to know if Willson is still there or not. I also want to prove whether Willson's strength exceeds mine or not,” Arthur said. But Gracia seemed to be looking for something in the car. She picked up her bag and then closed the car door again.
“You want to go upstairs without using lighting huh?” Said Gracia who then took out the flashlight from her bag. Turned on the flashlight and started walking ahead of Arthur who was just following behind her.
“Where is this? Why aren't we there yet?” Arthur asked. Gracia slightly squinted her eyes at Arthur and kept walking until one day they met strange sounds like the sound of an eagle and also the sound of wolves too.
“Patience... we still have a long way to go.” Gracia said.
“NO! NO! NO!”
“What's that sound?” Gracia, who was used to hearing it, did not stop her steps. Until one day they saw a battle of eagles up there in the sky. They looked between the ranges and leaves of the large trees around them.
“Looks like they're fighting up there!” Gracia said. Until suddenly...
BRUGH!
The two Eagles suddenly collapsed in the bushes near them.
“We have to hide.” Gracia said in a soft voice. Arthur complied and they hid behind the bushes. One of the eagles turned into a human.
CLING!
Of course Arthur and Gracia who saw it widened their eyes and closed their mouths, trying not to make a sound at all.
“Turns out they're actually stealth eagles.” Arthur said in a low voice so as not to be heard by the Eagle.
“I'm sorry I had to kill you, Christian. You almost harmed the man up there. I was assigned by the moon god to guard that person.” After saying that, the eagleess immediately changed her form and flew to the top of the mountain. Arthur and Gracia heard everything.
“Guarding a hermit? Is that Willson?” Arthur wondered.
“It could be Willson!”
