David sat at his desk, staring blankly at the pile of reports in front of him. His mind was miles away, consumed with the truth Beatrice had revealed. His office, once a place of order and control, now felt like a chaotic storm of emotions and unanswered questions. The revelation about Daniel's lineage—the fact that his true mother was the Moon Goddess herself—had turned everything David thought he knew upside down.
His mind flashed back to the last time he had seen Daniel. The boy had been distant, tormented, wrestling with emotions that David had misjudged. He should have known something deeper was wrong, something beyond the pain of the prophecy or the weight of his father's death. But David hadn't seen it. He hadn't seen the manipulation or the loneliness that Daniel must have felt.
The door creaked open, and Beatrice stood there, the lines of fatigue etched even deeper into her face. She had lost the cold, calculated facade that David had always known. Now, she was a broken woman, stripped of her deceptions, but still holding on to one last thread of purpose: helping to find Daniel.
"We're ready to move," Beatrice said quietly, not meeting David's eyes. David stood up, his resolve hardening. "Let's find him."---The pack had already spread out, combing through the woods surrounding the estate. Wolves with heightened senses scoured the land, searching for any trace of Daniel. David and Beatrice followed closely behind, coordinating efforts through radio communication. The tension was palpable as hours passed without any sign of the boy.David kept his emotions in check, though his heart raced with fear. The longer Daniel was out there, the greater the risk. His mind replayed Beatrice's words—Daniel wasn't just a troubled boy, he was the key to a prophecy. The weight of that knowledge was suffocating."Any leads?" David asked through his headset, hoping for even a shred of good news."Nothing yet," came the static-filled reply from one of the scouts. "We've searched through the eastern woods. No sign."David gritted his teeth. This was taking too long."Wait," Beatrice suddenly said, her eyes narrowing as she stopped in her tracks. She seemed to be focusing on something far off, something only she could feel. "I sense him. He's close."David's pulse quickened. He wasn't sure if he could trust her instincts after everything she had admitted, but at this point, it was the only lead they had. "Where?" David asked, his voice urgent.Beatrice closed her eyes, her fingers twitching slightly as she concentrated. "Southwest, by the old clearing."
David immediately radioed the others. "All units, regroup near the southwest clearing. We think Daniel's close."
Without another word, David and Beatrice took off, moving through the dense forest at a fast pace. The trees loomed above them, casting long shadows in the fading daylight. David's senses were sharp, but all he could focus on was finding Daniel. He couldn't afford to let anything happen to him, not after everything.
As they neared the clearing, David saw a flash of movement—a figure hunched by the edge of a small stream. His heart leapt into his throat. It was Daniel.But something was wrong. Even from a distance, David could feel it. Daniel wasn't alone.---Daniel sat by the water, his reflection rippling in the stream. His mind was a mess of anger and betrayal. Everything he had known, everything he had believed in, had been a lie. His mother, Beatrice—the one person who was supposed to protect him—had never truly cared. And now, the truth about his real mother, the Moon Goddess, loomed over him like a shadow he couldn't escape.
The weight of the prophecy was crushing him. He could feel its pull, like a dark tide, pushing him toward a destiny he didn't want. He clenched his fists, feeling the energy crackle around him. He didn't want any of this. He didn't want to be a pawn in some cosmic game.
"Daniel," a voice called out behind him.
He didn't turn around. He knew who it was.
"Go away, David," Daniel said, his voice hollow.
But David didn't leave. He walked slowly toward the boy, his heart breaking at the sight of him. Daniel looked lost, defeated, as if the weight of the world had already crushed him."I'm not leaving without you," David said softly. "You shouldn't be out here alone."
Daniel finally looked up, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and hurt. "Why not? That's what I am, right? Alone. My whole life has been a lie. My mother never cared about me. I was just... just a piece on a chessboard for her."
David knelt down beside him, unsure of what to say. "I'm sorry, Daniel. I should have seen what was happening sooner. But you're not alone. You've never been alone."
Daniel shook his head. "You don't get it. It's not just Beatrice. It's everything. The prophecy, my real mother... It's all too much."
David placed a hand on Daniel's shoulder, trying to ground him. "You don't have to face this alone. We'll figure this out together. Prophecy or not, you're still in control of your life."Just as Daniel was about to respond, the atmosphere around them changed. A strange tension filled the air, and a low growl echoed from the forest. David's instincts flared, and he immediately stood up, shielding Daniel behind him.
From the shadows, a figure emerged—a man with glowing amber eyes and a menacing smile. "Well, well," the stranger said, his voice dripping with malice. "I've been looking for you, Daniel. It seems your time has come."
David's blood ran cold as he recognized the symbol etched onto the man's neck—the mark of those who sought to exploit the prophecy.
"Stay behind me," David growled to Daniel.
The hunt wasn't just about finding Daniel anymore. Now, it was about protecting him from those who wanted to use him for their own twisted purposes.And David wasn't about to let that happen.
