Page 86 of The Lycan King's Secret Child

One evening, as she and Xander sat beneath the starlit sky, she turned to him.

Amelia: "Do you think we'll ever be able to stop running?"

Xander: "I hope so. But for now, we're where we need to be."

Amelia: "Liam seems happy."

Xander: "He's embracing who he is."

She leaned against him.

Amelia: "Maybe this is our new beginning."

Xander: "Together, we can face anything."

They watched as Liam played with the other children, his laughter echoing through the night.

The awakening of his abilities had brought challenges, but also a deeper understanding of who they were as a family. Amidst the uncertainty, they found strength in their unity, ready to face whatever the future held.

Chapter 9: The Search

The moon hung low over the city skyline, casting silvery shadows across the bustling streets of Silvercrest. Xander stood atop a high-rise building, the wind tousling his dark hair as he surveyed the world below. It had been months since he last saw Amelia and Liam, months filled with restless nights and an unshakable sense of longing.

Marcus approached quietly from behind, his footsteps barely audible.

Marcus: "You called for me?"

Xander didn't turn around.

Xander: "I did. Have you found anything?"

Marcus hesitated before responding.

Marcus: "There's been... whispers. Rumors of a child exhibiting unusual abilities in a coastal town called Crestwood."

Xander's eyes narrowed.

Xander: "Tell me more."

Marcus: "The child is said to possess remarkable agility and strength beyond his years. Some claim he's been seen communicating with animals."

Xander's heart quickened.

Xander: "Do we have a name?"

Marcus: "No name, but descriptions match that of a boy around five years old."

Xander turned to face Marcus, his expression intense.

Xander: "It's him. It has to be."

Marcus: "Are you certain? There could be others."

Xander: "No. Liam is the only one of his kind at that age. I need to find him."

Marcus shifted uncomfortably.

Marcus: "There's something else."
