CH 12
Loke POV
Well, this is a first Seirei-oo speechless….
"Why did no one tell me?"
"Mostly for her safety. As Layla said we didn't know how you'd react. Besides, when Layla found out she was pregnant you were in a such a foul mood from her getting married…. Well, Layla was just afraid. So were we for that matter. With good reason." Aquarius explained; no one wanted to mess with her not even Seirei-oo.
"Why now then?"
"In two days time, her seal will break. While she has immaculate control, she'll become an even bigger Target for Dark wizards of all kinds. One, just today, threatened to expose her. If she had been exposed with only Virgo and Leo there to protect her we'd have lost all three to the machinations of the humans." Crux replied.
"I hate to interrupt but are Virgo and I missing something?" I asked just as Seirei-oo was about to talk again. Lucy looked at me a little fearfully. That look hurts more than I ever thought possible. Then she turned to Seirei-oo and asked if I could read the letter. He just handed it to me. I was too busy reading to hear what was said next.
"WAIT A MINUTE! IF LUCY IS HIS DAUGHTER DOES THAT MEAN SHE'S HALF SPIRIT? And does the part about Lucy being born under the Leo constellation mean, what I think it means?" I asked in shock. Apparently, my outburst startled everyone else, because Lucy only nodded. I then dropped the letter. Luckily Virgo caught it. I ran to Luce. Picked her up. Spun her around a few times. Then kissed her right on the mouth. Through all of that, I heard her giggle and the others outright laugh. I didn't care. I was far too exhilarated. Then Seirei-oo ruined the moment.
"While I'm happy you finally found your mate old friend; I would like to spend today getting to know my daughter. So if you don't mind?" he said holding out a hand for Lucy to take.
