CHAPTER 35

~Author's POV~

In one of the highest floors of Noxshade Academy, tucked behind a hidden wall panel, the Student Council Room buzzed with tension.

It was sleek, with glass panels, a thick oak desk, velvet seats in a circle, and chandeliers. 

The sigil of the academy, etched into the table's surface, pulsed faintly with magic that only high-ranking students were allowed to touch.

Storm Draven sat at the head of the table, back straight, arms folded behind his chair. The President's seat. A position he never asked for, but one no one dared challenge.

To his right, Jace Raith lounged with a casual sprawl, spinning a silver coin between his fingers. His Student Council badge flashed gold—Head of Discipline.
