HIVE. MIND.

Forget everything you know about the Season.

Because the Monarch didn’t just announce the Luxe at the ball tonight.

She CREATED one.

Miss Marigold Gardener

Yes, THAT Marigold.

How? Why? I’m still wondering that myself.

There was no list of runner-ups. Not even a whisper beforehand.

Just a name.

Spoken.

In front of everyone.

And then—BOOM.

The Luxe Omega was named.

Do you understand what this means? Because I assure you the room certainly didn’t at first. I got word that at least three Alphas forgot how to breathe properly, which is always entertaining.

The Monarch definitely is creating buzz with this move.

How very unlike her.

Do you think she’s trying to keep me on my toes, or is this an attempt to take back some of her power?

Hmm…

But don’t you worry your pretty little wings, Hivemind.

The Season is still ours. It just has a new center of gravity now.

And I for one am delightedly terrified.
