Chapter 94 Political Ambush

• The council's daily briefing started like any other. Seven members seated around the curved table. Observers taking notes in the corner. Darius and I in our assigned chairs, maintaining the perfect image of calm cooperation.
• Then Gideon walked in.
• He wasn't supposed to be there. Students weren't invited to strategic briefings. But he entered like he owned the room, carrying a leather folder and wearing the kind of smile that made my wolf snarl.
