Elára snapped a salute. “Yes, sir.”

“Now all of you come back with me,” Merrick said. “Base housing got wrecked. There’s a lot to do. If any of you stir up more trouble, I’ll deal with each of you one by one. You know I have plenty of ways.

His low voice made the backs of their necks prickle. It was just their bad luck that he had them dead to rights.

Gillian stood off to the side with a sweet smile. Her sisters were brilliant, but they sometimes acted without thinking things through, and it drove her crazy too. She thought they deserved the punishment. Locking them up in the Legion where they couldn’t go anywhere sounded perfect.

“Merrick.” She tugged at his sleeve, cutting into his stern and secretly satisfied mood. She knew it was time to quit while they were ahead, because once her sisters caught on, Merrick would be the one paying for it “We actually have one more thing to discuss with you.”

Merrick, gracious in victory, took her hand. “You’re the only sensible one. What do you need to discuss? Go ahead.”

Then he heard her out. And suddenly he decided she was the one who needed the most punishment.

Where did the Sterling family get these three stubborn mules? The source of the taint-does she really think she can just walk in there?

Freya’s mouth pulled into an ugly smile. She stepped forward and hugged Gillian.

Gillian caught Freya’s scent and felt a wave of calm.

The next second, a sliver of blue gem cut into her palm. A soft blue glow bloomed between their clasped

hands.

Freya felt proud and heartbroken all at once. She pressed the pure blue metal tip into Gillian’s wrist terminal with her own hands.

A tiny Blue Phoenix appeared on Gillian’s shoulder. It looked peaceful and content.

“Gillian, Blue really likes you.”

“Freya.” Gillian caught the metallic tang of blood from Freya’s chest.

Did she dig out the Blue Phoenix chip just now?

“It’s fine,” Freya said. “That thing’s been inside me for years. It was actually suppressing my primal core. Why do you think I’ve been stuck as a level-two beastman this whole time?”

Pulling out the Blue Phoenix’s main core had revealed her cleric identity too. She had dual psionic power -purification and metal. That metal chip had been feeding on her metal ability for years. That was what had held her down.

Merrick looked at Gillian’s two sisters and let out a mocking laugh. “What’s this? Now you’re not going to `stop her? You’re just going to let this little idiot walk off to her death?”

Even he couldn’t guarantee a safe return from the taint’s source.

Every commander in Wasteland City’s history had died there. Countless beastmen had died there. Better men than him were dead and gone. How did Gillian think she stood a chance?

Elara stepped closer and slid the metal tip of the Cryolotus Terminal System into Gillian’s wrist terminal

“Gillian.” She met her eyes. “Do what you need to do. Freya and I believe in you.”

“Elara.” Merrick shook his head. “I really misjudged you. Thought you’d be the one to talk some sense into

her.”

He scooped Gillian up and carried her off the warship. She let out a gasp and clung to his chest.

Over his shoulder, she waved at her sisters, signaling them not to worry. Merrick wouldn’t hurt her.

Freya touched the wound on her chest. It was already healed. Gillian had fixed it. “She’ll be okay, right?”

Elara shook her head. “All I know is that bastard Merrick has been secretly in love with her for five years. He’s no less protective of her than we are.”

Not long after, Merrick had Gillian on the Griffin Warship. Then he tossed her onto the bed without a second thought.

His hot body pressed down on her. Punishing kisses rained over her, and she couldn’t dodge a single one.

“Merrick, I’m not going alone. I have all three top-tier wrist terminals… mmph… I’m just going to look. Ah… just to look. Don’t be mad. Stop that!”

“Don’t talk. I’m not listening.”

His voice was pure sulk. He wasn’t hearing a word.

“Vivienne said no sex for three months.”

Gillian made one last desperate grab, watching her bio-armor buttons scatter across the floor. She felt a cool breeze hit her below.

“You’re about to march my children to their deaths, and you’re worried about whether we can have sex?”

Merrick cupped her face and took his time with her lips.

“Mmph-Merrick, I’ll bring you with me-”

Right at the last possible second, Gillian scrambled for a lifeline.
