Chapter 26 - THE NEWBORN BORN TO RULE
Marcus stepped forward cautiously, his large, strong hands surprisingly gentle as Clara placed the newborn baby into his arms.
The baby cooed softly, resting his tiny head against Marcus's chest as if recognizing his protector's steady heartbeat.
"What are you going to name him, Clara?" Evelyn asked, brushing a strand of brown hair from Clara's forehead.
"His name is Alexander," Clara announced warmly. "Alexander Marcus Vance."
Marcus looked up at Clara in deep surprise, his eyes shining with emotion at the honor she had bestowed upon him.
"Thank you, Clara," Marcus whispered, his voice thick with unexpressed feeling. "I promise to protect him with my life, just as I protect you."
