Amelia: "Alright. Where?"
Xander: "I'll send a car."
After they hung up, Amelia felt both anxious and resolute. She needed answers.

That evening, the car arrived promptly. She was taken to a private estate on the outskirts of the city.
Xander greeted her at the entrance.
Xander: "Thank you for coming."
Amelia: "I need to know the truth, Xander."
He nodded.
Xander: "I understand. Please, come inside."
He led her to a cozy sitting room with a fireplace crackling warmly.
Amelia: "This place is beautiful."
Xander: "It's a family home."
They sat across from each other.
Xander: "There's no easy way to say this, but I owe you honesty."
Amelia: "I'm listening."
He took a deep breath.
Xander: "My family... we're part of a lineage that is ancient and, to many, unimaginable."
Amelia: "What does that mean?"
Xander: "We are Lycans."
She blinked, processing the word.
Amelia: "As in... werewolves?"
He nodded.
Amelia: Incredulous "Is this a joke?"
Xander: "I wish it were. But it's the truth."
She stood up, pacing.
Amelia: "This is insane."
Xander: "I know it's hard to believe."
Amelia: "You're telling me you're a... werewolf?"
Xander: "Yes."
