She crept down the hallway quietly, pretending she had urgent medical business with the doctor at midnight. She pushed the door open softly. Alex was not in the front room, but the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom. Stepping forward, Magda approached the shower enclosed by a thin plastic curtain. Through a narrow gap, she caught sight of Alex’s bare body. His broad shoulders and toned arms appeared mesmerizing in the dim light. And as her eyes descended upon his naked lower half, Magda swallowed hard, the heavy rush of saliva gathering in her mouth. She wet her lips with her tongue... and pulled the curtain open violently with both hands.

The water didn't fall; it formed a series of spheres around the Sisters of the Meridian. Inside the spheres, the Sisters began to scream. "She’s showing them the truth!" Leo shouted, trying to steady the child, but his own runes were turning a bright, rhythmic violet. I saw into the spheres. I saw the Blue Meridian—a paradise built on the literal bones of the 'Too Much' women of their own continent. I saw Naia, not as a queen, but as a butcher who had drowned thousands of omegas to keep her 'Blue' blood pure.

Aika interrupts my thoughts by saying, “girl, why are you so ballistic?” “What?” I say out loud, and the water of the river falls a little on us, while everyone shouts “Woo!” Eric says, “Calm down, calm down, we’re not doing anything.” Everyone with their hands up. “Shit, sorry.” Aika, silence. Let me concentrate. I close my eyes and start breathing slowly. I place my hand on my heart so I can feel it. My heart rate slows down, as does my breathing. I open my eyes and watch as the water slowly recedes, returning to its natural flow.

I found relief in the fact that they were probably just here to witness the trials as guests and after this, we would never see them again. Meridian had grabbed Pilly from my hands and checked him for any wounds, “Thank you so much for helping me find him! I owe you both two estates near the frozen beaches of The Northern Lands!” Her joyous laughter rang out, but it died into eerie silence when her eyes caught the men standing with us. My eyes widened in shock and my stomach dropped to the abyss when she rushed to offer a deep bow. “Apologies my king, I did not see you there.” She was bowing at Kaden.

I put the phone face-down and returned to the meeting. The Meridian debt notice had gone out thirty days earlier — thirty days that had been, from a distance, quiet, and had been, from the inside, the most structurally complex period of the entire arc. Damien's lawyers had fought it with the energy of people who understood they were fighting a losing battle but had been paid to fight it anyway. Three letters, two formal objections, one attempted injunction that Caldwell's legal team had addressed with the calm efficiency of people who had reviewed the same facts and reached entirely different conclusions about who was exposed.

The sharp noise echoes like a lightning strike, followed instantly by her loud, fake shriek of pain. "Meredith! Did the fat bitch touch you?" Caedmon storms inside, his timing too perfect, his claws already drawn. Right behind him, five news bards burst through the heavy doors, their magic recording stones glowing bright as they snap pictures of the broken crystal and Meredith’s bleeding leg.

“Just breathe. Get through the day. One step at a time.” Jefferson was waiting near my office. “Morning, boss. You good? You look like the weekend kicked your ass.” “Morning, Jeff. Rough weekend, yeah. The medication settled more slowly than usual. What’s the latest on Meridian?” I asked, dropping into my chair.
