Ep 3: The Office of Shadows
[Scene: Valestryn Estate – Grand Hall]
The grand hall echoes with silence. Ornate columns rise high, polished marble reflecting legacies older than centuries. Only the rhythmic sound of boots breaks the hush.
Rowan and Zypher walk side by side, approaching the heavy double doors of the Alpha’s office.
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
*Stops*
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
*Places a firm hand on Zypher’s shoulder*
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
All the best. And… don’t make it worse.
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
His decision’s already at the edge. It’s up to you now, Zypher.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Jaw tightens, silent nod*
Rowan watches him enter. The massive doors close. His whisper follows softly down the corridor.
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
*whisper* Please… let the moon keep him safe.
The Evric's Private Office – Dim Firelight
The room glows faintly. Bookshelves tower like silent judges, firelight licking across leather-bound secrets. Evric Valestryn stands near his desk, posture unreadable.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
*Turns as the door shuts* You’re late.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Unbowed* Did you reopen the land deal?
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
*Circles his desk, calm* It’s good for you. That’s all I want to say.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Fists clench* If you knew me at all, you wouldn’t say that.
The fire cracks sharply. Evric studies him, silent.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
Our people died protecting that land. We lived with them like family—ate from the same earth, fought the same war.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
They believed in us. In you.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*His voice breaks slightly*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
How can you forget them in just four years?
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
You’re not the man I once looked up to. You’ve changed.
Evric’s gaze narrows slightly, shadows deepening across his features.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
People change, Zypher. And so does the world.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
You are next in line to lead. You cannot rule with your memories clinging like chains.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Snaps* I never wished to rule! I never wanted to carry this title!
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
*Voice hardens* It is not a choice. It is in your blood.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
And blood is not negotiable.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
I didn’t ask you to come here to talk about the Alpha seat.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
I know but before that, i need to tell you something.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
What?
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
*Arms fold, sharp gaze*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Steps closer, voice tight* last night… I saw her.
The room freezes. Air heavy. The fire hisses.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
Crimson hair. Silver eyes. It was her. Fiora.
Evric doesn’t flinch. His silence speaks louder than words.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
She called herself Monic. Didn’t remember me. Didn’t remember herself. But I know what I felt. What I smelled.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
You taught me to trust the bond.
Evric moves. Slow. Deliberate. Until they stand face to face.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
[Coldly] Then let me ask you this.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
If she doesn’t remember you, doesn’t respond to her name, and flees from your touch… is she still your mate?
Zypher’s breath catches. The words cut like steel.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
The bond doesn’t die with memories. And I won’t let her vanish again.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
*Voice like iron* And what if she was meant to vanish?
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Blink*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Stunned* What?
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
You don’t know everything about her. Or about what was done.
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
What she truly is.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Wolf stirs beneath his skin, restless*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
What do you mean by that?
Evric Valestryn (ML Father)
There are things in this world older than blood. Powers that tamper with fate. Sometimes forgetting… is survival.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Wolf growls deep*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*voice trembles with anger*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
Did you know she was alive?
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*Eyes darken, voice sharp, each word striking* Did. You. Know?
