  As I exited the office,I sought out Ethan,finding him amidst the pack members who were going about their daily activities.His posture exuded a mix of newfound responsibility and the lingering shadows of concern for his father.Approaching him,I could sense the unspoken connection—the familial bond that now carried an additional layer of complexity.

  I motioned for him to join me in a quieter space,away from the bustling activities of the pack.As we found a more secluded corner,the words lingered on the tip of my tongue,awaiting release.A palpable tension hung in the air—a precursor to a conversation that would unveil a truth not easily grasped.
