Announcer
Final round! Phantom vs Razor!
Crowd
PHANTOM! PHANTOM! PHANTOM!
Razor
You're breathing heavy. Tired already?
(Punch. Crack. Blood hits the mat.)
Announcer
AND PHANTOM WINS AGAIN!
(Ivaan stands still. No celebration. Just silence.)
Beta
Boss, Impressive stamina.
(Lorenzo’s eyes never leave Ivaan.)
Beta
He is just a debt fighter.
(Below, Ivaan slowly lifts his head.)
Silence spreads unnaturally.
Lorenzo Valtieri
(Quietly) He didn't bow.
Lorenzo Valtieri
Something rarer.
Loan Shark 1
Payment's late, Phantom.
Loan Shark 2
Interest grows daily.
(They shove him into the wall.)
Loan Shark 1
Or we collect differently.
(Amber flashes in his eyes for half a second.)
Loan Shark 1
(Whispers) Boss...
Lorenzo Valtieri
Why are my men raising their hands without permission?
Lorenzo Valtieri
I didn't ask what he owes.
Lorenzo Valtieri
I asked why you touched him.
Ivaan
I don't need protection.
Lorenzo finally looks at him.
Lorenzo Valtieri
You misunderstand.
Lorenzo Valtieri
I am not protecting you.
Lorenzo Valtieri
I am claiming territory.
Lorenzo Valtieri
(Softly) We will correct that misunderstanding soon.
Ivaan’s heartbeat spikes.
Something inside him reacts.
Lorenzo Valtieri
(To loan Sharks) Leave.
Lorenzo's gaze darken slightly.
Lorenzo Valtieri
Because my wolf reacted.
Lorenzo Valtieri
And it has never reacted before.
Ivaan
I don't know what you are talking about.
Lorenzo Valtieri
(Step back slightly) You will.
Lorenzo Valtieri
And when you do....
Lorenzo Valtieri
You won't be able to run.
Leaves Ivaan standing there.
You feel it too
[Next Night – 11:58 PM | Ivaan’s Apartment]
Unknown Number
💬 You're awake.
Unknown Number
💬 You know exactly who.
Ivaan stares at the screen for a long second.
Unknown Number
💬 You didn't ice your ribs after the fight.
Looks down at his bruised side.
Ivaan
💬 How do you know that?
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 (Typing slowly.) Because you're predictable.
Ivaan
💬 You're spying on me.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 I prefer the word observing.
Ivaan walks to the window.
Pulls the curtain slightly.
Ivaan
💬 Stay out of my life.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 You step into my territory.
Ivaan
💬 I fight in an arena. That's not territory.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 Including you.
Ivaan's breathing shifts.
Ivaan
💬 I don't belong to anyone.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 Keep telling yourself that.
Ivaan’s phone buzzes again before he can reply.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 Tell me something.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 Why didn't you bow?
Ivaan's fingers stop moving.
His heart pounds once. Hard.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 When you looked at me in the arena.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 You didn't lower your eyes.
On the other side of city, Lorenzo smiles faintly.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 Exactly.
Something about that response feels wrong.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 I'm curious.
Typing stops for a few seconds.
When the message comes, it’s different.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 About why my wolf reacted to you.
His fingers tremble slightly.
He deletes three different replies before sending one.
Ivaan
💬 I don't know what you are talking about?
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 You will.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 And when you do....
You won’t be able to ignore it.
The air in Ivaan’s room feels thick suddenly.
Like something invisible is pressing against his instincts.
A low growl slips from his throat before he can stop it.
His phone vibrates again.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 There it is.
Lorenzo Valtieri
💬 You feel it too.
But he doesn’t block the number either.
