Chapter Ninety

****

The next morning, Morwen was absent from the training yard, nobody heard from her. Her absence hung in the air like a held breath.

Kieran, however, was there.

Bruised, arm in a sling and nose crooked from where it had shattered. He moved stiffly, eyes shadowed, lips pressed into a thin, furious line. Acolytes whispered as he passed. Some laughed quietly.

I watched from the edge of the courtyard, with my arms crossed, I was silent.

I knew what happened last night.

Nobody else knew.

Jason and Kael found me after breakfast, pulling me into the shade of the old ash tree.

“What did they do to you last night?” Kael asked, voice low, urgent. "I felt the shift in the air, it was deep. Blood-level. What happened,Aria?”

"Morwen and Kieran summoned me last night, I was really walking to where they were, but I didn't go there."

Kael's eyes widened. 'You mean they summoned you?" " So how did you break free from them?"

Both Kael and Jason stared at me, waiting for the answer

  • Academy Of Cursed Hearts    The Deadly Curiosity

    Chapter Ninety-Six:****I left the mirror chamber with the Twin’s warning still humming in my bones.“They're watching you,” she’d said. “And curiosity is the first step into the grave, be careful.”I knew Kieran has been following me for days. He's been following my shadows, like a dog that’s been kicked too many times but still hopes for scraps.He wanted answers, he really wanted to satisfy his curiosity.He wanted to believe I was still human.Poor fool.I stepped out of the hidden passage behind the old tapestry in the west wing,and turned down the hall towards the courtyard.That’s when I saw him.Kieran stood near the archway, half-hidden in shadow, eyes sharp, posture tense. He’d been waiting for me.“Aria,” he called, voice careful, almost polite.I didn’t stop. “Kieran.”He fell into step beside me. “You’ve been doing a lot of sneaky movements lately.”I kept walking. “I like to walk.”“Only at night? Through sealed corridors?”I looked at him. “Are you following me?”He di

  • Academy Of Cursed Hearts    The Serpent in Silk

    Chapter Ninety-Five:****That same night, in Morwen’s chamber.Kieran paced like a caged wolf. Morwen sat rigid in her chair, fingers digging into the arms, eyes sharp with betrayal.Veyran stood by the window, calm as stone, watching the moon like it held answers to her questions.“Explain yourself,” Morwen hissed. “You stood with her instead of standing with us. After everything we planned.”Veyra didn’t turn. “Plans fail when built on sand.”Kieran whirled on her. “You lied to us!”“No,” Veyra said, finally facing them. “I adapted.”She stepped into the candlelight, her iron-beaded braids glinting like blades. “I’ve watched Aria for three days now. Not just her power, but her patterns. She doesn’t react, she anticipates. She didn’t just survive the Veil Chamber tonight, she used it to make us expose ourselves.”Morwen’s eyes narrowed. “So you abandoned us out of fear?”Veyra’s laugh was dry, cold. “Fear? No. Strategy.”She walked to the table, tracing a finger over the map of t

  • Academy Of Cursed Hearts    The Iron Hand

    Chapter Ninety-Four:****Three days after the binding and humiliating Kieran in the library, the academy was sort of calm. Everyone went about their daily activities with no fear or intrusion.That morning, after training. There was change in the atmosphere, the weather was cold and sharp, like steel dragged across bone. The wards didn’t flare. The runes didn’t warn. They just… bowed.Someone new entered the academy.And they weren’t here to watch.They were here to break me.I saw her at breakfast.She sat alone at the High Table, where only masters and visiting dignitaries dined. Robes the color of dried blood. Hair braided with iron beads. Eyes like gray, unyielding, and very ancient.Morwen stood beside her, speaking low, respectful. Kieran hovered nearby, face pale but hopeful.Their weapon and last hope.After drills, Jason pulled me aside. “That’s Lady Veyra,” he said, voice tight. “Commander of the Obsidian Guard. She served the Queen’s court before the Veil fell. They say s

  • Academy Of Cursed Hearts    The Broken Challenge.

    Chapter Ninety-Three****I met Jason and Kael on my way to the dorm.“You saw him right?” Jason asked.“Yes."Kael crossed his arms. “He’s still going to summon the Watcher?”“He should go ahead,” I said. “It’s already coming.”Kael smiled. “Then Morwen and Kieran are in trouble.”I smiled faintly. “They have no idea.”Deep below, in the catacombs, Morwen finished the final chant.The circle blazed crimson. The ground trembled. Wind howled through the tunnels.Kieran stood at the edge, watching and waiting.“Now,” Morwen breathed. “It comes.”But the presence that rose wasn’t wrathful.It was… quiet.A figure emerged from the dark,not tall, not monstrous, but cloaked in shifting shadows, eyes like twin voids filled with stars.The Hollow Watcher.It turned upward.As if listening to something only it could hear.Then it spoke, a voice like stone grinding against time: “She is already here.”Morwen was angry. “Who?”The Watcher didn’t answer.It simply turned and walked away towards t

  • Academy Of Cursed Hearts    Binding of Fire and Shadow.

    Chapter Ninety-Two****I went to the mirror chamber that evening.Everyone in the academy slept. But I knew. Morwen and Harry, yes, I would call him that now,were done with games. They were summoning the Hollow Watcher.And while they thought they were calling a weapon.The Watcher wasn’t a weapon.It was a judge.And it had already chosen its verdict.But before it came, I had one last thing to do.When I entered the chamber,the Twin stepped closer to the glass.“They’re going to use one of the boys again,” she said, voice urgent. “Not just to hurt you but to get through you. If they can’t reach you, they’ll break what you love.”“I know,” I said.“Then bind them,” she said. “Not with wards but with you.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”“Transfer a thread of your power into them,” she said. “Not enough to change who they are,but enough to make them untouchable to liars. Let your fire live in Kael’s flame. Let your silence coil in Jason’s shadows. Once bound, no stolen magic, no soul-

  • Academy Of Cursed Hearts    The Broken Mask

    Chapter Ninety One****Morning drills ended with sweat and silence.Jason found me before I could walk out of the training yard. His eyes were sharp, but a bit worried. “Last night,” he said, voice low, “what really happened?”I exhaled. “Morwen and Kieran tried to summon you. They thought if they controlled you, they could control me.”Kael, who’d been sharpening his dagger nearby, looked up. “They what?”“They built a circle,” I said. “Used blood sigils. Tried to pull you like a puppet.”Kael stood up so fast his blade clattered to the stone. “Let's confront Kieran.”“Not yet,” I said. “He's watching. Waiting for us to react.”Jason’s jaw tightened. “They touched me, Aria. Even for a second… that’s too far.”I nodded. “I know.”Breakfast was tense.We sat at our usual table,me in the middle, Jason on my left, Kael on my right. The air hummed with unease. Students were enjoying their meals and talking with one another.Then Kieran walked in.Smiling like he owned the room.He carried
