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.
Across from him sat Kael Kaiden, his legs crossed with precision, his eyes hidden behind tinted glasses. His role was carved into the brass plaque on his seat: Chief of Council Intelligence.
And finally, Tyrion Levir sat nearest the window, the soft moonlight casting silver into his hair. Before him was a plaque reading, Student Council Secretary.
A spot sat empty near Storm—the Vice President’s.
