The Secret of Luna and Her Baby

"Is he my child?!" Demeter's face turned crimson as he beheld the undeniable truth. There was no denying that the tiny baby resembled him greatly, especially with those light blue eyes that mesmerized anyone. The woman holding the baby took a step back immediately. "Don't avoid me, Eloise!" The woman with long hair shook off Demeter's hand, causing the baby in her arms to cry softly. It was as if the infant sensed that a battle was about to unfold between the two adults. "Let go of me, damn it!" Eloise truly stepped back, even now keeping a considerable distance from the man. Honestly, she cursed her foolishness for getting involved with a man who had shattered her future. He is a man who has no sense of responsibility. Eloise was about to step forward, but the baritone voice made her tremble. "If you take another step, I will utterly destroy your life and that baby, Eloise!" Eloise's lips quivered. She wasn't afraid for her own disrupted life, but not for her child. However, before Demeter could say more, Eloise truly left him and ignored all his hard words. "Forgive Mama, Sweetheart." Eloise kissed the one-year-old baby and tried to comfort him. Her heart ached to hear Dariel's cries. The one-year-old boy looked at his mother with a disappointed expression. "Mama will never let you meet the man who abandoned us, Dariel. In this world, it's just us two. That's Mama's promise. Your happiness is my priority." Seemingly understanding, Dariel leaned his head against his mother's chest and fell asleep with soft sobs. On the other side, Demeter still clenched his fists. His head was instantly throbbing due to the unexpected encounter. He had lost Eloise for two years without knowing her whereabouts, but now there was something the woman needed to explain. A baby? The baby had grown, and he was incredibly adorable. A warm feeling spread through Demeter's heart as he looked at the rosy cheeks of the little boy. Demeter closed his eyes, attempting to push away all the unpleasant memories of the past two years. His mind turned to the painful events. The man couldn't evade when he found a woman in shabby clothes standing in front of his room. "What are you doing here, Eloise?!" It wasn't a question, but a disapproving exclamation. Eloise lifted her head, gazing at Demeter with a fearful expression. She clenched the worn-out dress she had probably worn countless times. Eloise bit her lip. "Answer my question before I punish you!" Eloise grabbed Demeter's hand, examining the muscular arm. There were numerous scratches there, and it pained her heart. "You just did it, D?" Eloise's gentle hand caressed the wounds. Demeter immediately pushed Eloise, making her stumble. "That's none of your business!" Demeter's eyes expressed his dislike. "Know your place, Eloise. Never interfere in my affairs!" "What's going on, darling?" The soft voice of a woman interrupted their argument. A woman wearing a seductive maroon nightgown emerged from behind the door. "What's making you angry in the middle of the night, darling?" The woman leaned affectionately on Demeter's chest. "Did I wake up your beauty sleep, Kyra?" Demeter kissed her temple. Meanwhile, Eloise's heart ached even more at the painfully evident signs of Demeter and Kyra's love. The traces of affection were all over Kyra's body, and it was clear that they had just experienced an intense love affair. The red marks on Kyra's neck convinced Eloise that the couple had just consummated their love. "What's with this woman? Why is she kneeling in our room?" Kyra looked at Eloise with a curious gaze. "Or does she want to disturb our first night together?" Demeter was dissatisfied. "She's a servant you brought from the town, right? You said she's your classmate." Kyra squatted down and helped Eloise stand. "Are you okay, Miss?" Kyra asked, tucking a strand of Eloise's hair behind her ear. "What do you want from Demeter?" "Ignore her, Kyra." Demeter embraced his lover's shoulder. "How can I ignore another woman who seems to be tempting you, Demi?" There was jealousy in Kyra's eyes. "We just got married, and you've been elevated to the position of the Alpha King, but why is there another woman on the first day of my status as your wife? I don't like it." "Kyra...." "I'll tell Alpha Dixon to let this woman leave the palace. Your father will surely agree with me." Kyra kissed Demeter's lips as if flaunting their intimacy. "The man you call a husband is my mother." "You can leave!" Demeter expelled Eloise. He also returned Kyra's kiss and carried her into the room. Demeter even slammed the door to make Eloise leave quickly. "Did you find her, Alpha?" The voice snapped Demeter out of his reverie. The man in front of him was carrying a suitcase. "You've been searching for her for two years, but it turns out she's in another country, far from England," Beta Lucius said. Demeter didn't respond; he was still watching the escalator take the woman and the baby away. "The baby's name is Dariel White, born on August 31, 2022. Miss Eloise raised her child in Lyon." Lyon is one of the cities in France, covering an area of more than 6 thousand square kilometres. Lyon was also known as a centre for chocolate and ice cream, making it a summer tourism hub with a stunning nighttime skyline. No need for many comments; Demeter was satisfied with the information from Lucius. "Why is she at the airport? Is she waiting for someone or planning to travel?" Demeter looked at his watch. "Ah, she's waiting for someone." Lucius nodded. "Yes, you're right, Alpha. Miss Eloise is waiting for someone arriving from abroad." Demeter glanced at the airport announcement board. A plane would arrive in a few minutes. "Always keep an eye on Eloise and Lucius, especially the baby. I am very sure of that. You can even see it, can't you?" Demeter sought affirmation to strengthen his resolve. "What about Luna Kyra and your future child, Alpha? Luna Kyra will give birth soon, and you will become a father." Lucius objected. "You've rejected Miss Eloise for a long time; there shouldn't be any relationship between you anymore." "There's blood flowing in that child, and it comes from me." Demeter looked at his phone one last time before boarding the plane. Kyra's name was there, and it made Demeter smile. I miss you. It was a very brief message, but it made Demeter grin. Especially since Kyra sent a picture of her pregnant belly. "Am I wrong to feel joy when I see that baby, Lucius? It seems like the little boy has taken the first place in my heart for now." It was indeed crazy, but Demeter couldn't deny it. He wanted to meet Dariel and maybe Eloise. "You're making a mistake, Alpha," Lucius warned. "I've been making mistakes from the beginning, haven't I?" Demeter walked away as the voice of that information echoed again. "I will take what rightfully belongs to me." "But he belongs to Miss Eloise." "There are conditions to be met if Eloise wants to see her child." Demeter grinned. "Complicate her steps, and she won't hesitate to give Dariel to his father. Isn't Dariel's happiness the priority? What if Dariel's happiness is with me?"
