Chapter 270 Duel Of Wits

• POV: Luna
• The north tower was already crowded when we arrived at sunset. High Mage Cordelia had gathered maybe twenty people. Trusted individuals from different territories. Different packs. Different magical traditions. All united by common purpose and willingness to defend against hidden threats.
• My pack stood close. Nova scanning the assembled group. Aria identifying exit routes. Sienna analyzing magical preparations. Lyric observing interpersonal dynamics. Everyone doing what they did best. Everyone contributing unique perspective to collective awareness.
