My Baby Daddy Isn’t Human

238: The Truth in the Dark 238: The Truth in the Dark The silence in the dimly lit room felt heavier than the night itself.

Raelynn sat on the edge of the grand bed, her fingers digging into the silk sheets as she tried to steady herself.

Across from her, Elion stood near the window, his back to her, the golden light from the bedside lamp casting his shadow long against the wall.

Her heart pounded, still raw from the events that had unraveled.

Axel’s words rang in her mind, along with the memory of Elion moving—faster than any human should.

The way Axel had swung his blade, only for Elion to remain unfazed.

The way Elion’s eyes had glowed in the dark.

She swallowed hard.

“What are you?” Her voice was low, almost trembling, but she refused to back down.

Elion didn’t move at first.

His posture remained rigid, his shoulders tense.

Then, slowly, he turned, his expression unreadable, his gaze steady but sharp, like a blade honed to perfection.

“I think you already know,” he said, his voice calm, but beneath it lay something darker, something waiting to be acknowledged.

Raelynn exhaled, her chest tightening.

“Say it.” His eyes flickered with something she couldn’t name.

He took a step forward, then another, stopping just within arm’s reach.

“I am not human, Raelynn.” The words, though spoken evenly, sent a shiver down her spine.

Her breath hitched, her pulse quickening.

She had suspected, yes, but hearing it—hearing him admit it—made it real in a way she wasn’t prepared for.

She shook her head, gripping the sheets tighter.

“That’s not an answer.” Elion tilted his head slightly, his lips curving into something that wasn’t quite a smile.

“It is.” Raelynn clenched her jaw, frustration rising within her.

“Then let me make it clearer.” She lifted her gaze, meeting his eyes with determination.

“What are you, Elion?” A beat of silence stretched between them, thick with tension.
