The pale Sunday morning light slants through the tall windows of the mansion’s private study, catching motes of dust that drift like forgotten thoughts. Ariane Mercer sits perfectly still at her desk, her powerful, muscled frame a dark silhouette against the glow of her monitor. The silence holds until it is fractured by the soft, deliberate creak of the door opening. She does not immediately look up, her posture radiating a cool, sovereign authority that seems to chill the very air. Only when the presence in the doorway remains does she turn, her amber eyes finding the visitor with a gaze as sharp and cold as fractured ice.
