The calm that had settled over the Eunoia clan was deceptive, masking the storm brewing on the horizon. Taehyung, Jungkook, and the council worked tirelessly to uncover more about the prophecy, but answers were elusive. Meanwhile, Hyun's powers continued to grow, becoming more unpredictable and powerful with each passing day.

One evening, as the sun began to set over the forest, Jungkook stood at the edge of the clan's territory, watching the distant tree line. His senses had been on high alert ever since the rogues' first attack, and he could feel something shifting—something dark approaching.

"Luna," a soft voice said from behind him. It was Yoongi, his usually calm expression now clouded with concern. "I found something."

Jungkook turned to face him, his heart racing. "What is it?"

Yoongi handed him a small, weathered book. "I went back through some of the oldest records. This prophecy... it's more complicated than we thought."

Jungkook quickly flipped through the pages, his eyes scanning the ancient text. It spoke of a child with the power to unite or destroy, just as they had learned before. But there was something new—something darker.

The ancient blood carries a curse. The child of prophecy will be hunted by those who seek to control its power, but beware—the power of the blood can corrupt even the purest heart.

Jungkook's breath caught in his throat. "A curse?"

Yoongi nodded gravely. "If the wrong people get to Hyun, they could twist his power for their own gain. And once it's corrupted... there's no going back."

Jungkook's hands trembled as he clutched the book. The weight of his responsibility as Luna had never felt heavier. He had to protect his son—not just from the rogues and enemies that sought him, but from the dangerous power within him.

"We need to tell Taehyung," Jungkook whispered.

Later that night, Jungkook and Yoongi met with Taehyung and the rest of the council. The revelation about the curse left everyone uneasy, but Taehyung's resolve was unwavering.

"We'll protect him," Taehyung said firmly. "No one will touch our son."

Jungkook glanced at his mate, his heart swelling with love and admiration. Taehyung was always so strong, so confident, but Jungkook could see the worry in his eyes. The burden of leadership weighed heavily on him, and Jungkook wished he could take some of that weight away.

"We'll need to strengthen our defenses," Namjoon said thoughtfully. "The rogues aren't the only ones we need to worry about. If word of the prophecy spreads, others will come for him too."

Jungkook nodded. "I can sense them. There's more out there—waiting for the right moment."

The room fell silent, the gravity of the situation pressing down on everyone. The Eunoia clan was strong, but they were facing enemies they didn't fully understand. And Hyun's powers were still a mystery.

But no matter what, Jungkook knew one thing for certain: he would never let anyone take his son.
