Chapter Twelve

****

The corridors of Blackmoor seemed endless. My footsteps echoed, and each step only fueled the fire boiling inside my chest. They hadn’t seen me—Kael, Raven, Jason. All their power, all their fury, and not one of them could hear me walk away. Not one of them cared enough to stop their fight.

The air was heavy, the Veil’s whispers brushing against my skin like spider legs.

“Little heir,” they rang in my head, faint but constant. “Little fire, little hunger.”

I bit down hard on my lip until I tasted blood. I wouldn’t let them inside. Not tonight. Not when everything in me already threatened to break.

“Running away from boys fighting over you?”

The voice was sharp. Feminine. Smooth as glass and twice as cutting.

I froze.

Headmistress Morwen stepped from the shadows like she’d been waiting there all along. Her black robes trailed across the cracked wall. Her eyes shone under the dim torchlight—green, but not human. Too bright. Too cold.

“Headmistress,” I said, forcing m

    Chapter Sixty-One****The next disaster didn’t come with fire.It came with silence.Not the kind of silence that follows thunder, but a very deep, unnatural sound of magic withdrawing like breath held for too long.It began in the west cloister, where the healing wards has been for over three centuries, rotating softly under the engraved arches like a sleeping heartbeat. At exactly 3:17 in the morning, every glyph along the corridor got dim, no reflection of light. Dimmed as if it was drained from within.By dawn, five acolytes were unconscious. Not injured but deeply asleep. And not the kind sleep that comes from tiredness. This was deeper and unreachable. Their chests rose and fell, their eyes darted behind closed lids but no spell could wake them. Not even Morwen’s voice, filled with command, could pull them back.She stood over one of them,Lysa, a second-year healer with her hand pressed to the girl’s forehead, lips moving in low, urgent incantations. Nothing answered.No fore

    Chapter Sixty****That night, Morwen stood before her scrying mirror in the sanctum, her eyes were fixed on the image glittering in the glass,me.I sat by the north window of the library. A book opened across my lap turning the pages with deliberate calmness.Looking innocent, still and harmless.She stared at the image of me for nearly ten minutes. I could feel the weight of her eyes, the silent accusation forming behind her narrowed eyes. But what could she say? What proof did she have? None.Because every disaster that has shaken these halls since the bell tower rang had happened after I apologized and promised to be a better student.Two days after the reservoir explosion, the eastern ley-line conduit sparked without cause. Sparks became surges, surges became blackouts across three wings. Lights were shaking, shields wavered, and deep below, in the crypts, the Veil Hounds cried again,short and sharp, then it went silent..Again, no trace, no magic signature. But this time, someon

  • Academy Of Cursed Hearts    The Unforeseen Danger.

    Chapter Fifty-Nine****The next morning there was a storm, not the usual storm in the sky. But in the heart of the academy.The eastern bell tower that has been silent for centuries rang, once, it rang again,then seven consecutive times.It was a forbidden signal.Sentries scattered everywhere. Students were confused in the halls, wide-eyed and breathless. Wards spread across the lower corridors, not from intrusion,but from collapse.The ancient seals, that have been stable for generations, cracked like dry bone. The library’s shadow-locks burst open. The armory’s fire vaults screamed with unstable energy. And deep in the crypt wing, the Veil Hounds, Morwen’s prized trackers cried in unison, then fell silently.But no one was hurt, no one was missing, and no magic signature was traced. Just chaos and silence.Morwen stood in the central chamber, her face was very pale, her staff shaking in her hand.Lira knelt before her, head bowed. “No intruder detected. No breach. No known spell

    Chapter Fifty-Eight****The next day, Morwen didn’t come to the training yardBut her presence was everywhere.Sentries doubled, wards reinforced, and the lower halls sealed.And in the high tower, the archives burned with candlelight long into the night.She was searching for answers,names and proof.And I knew, deep in my bones, that it was only a matter of time.So I did the one thing she was never expecting from me.I walked into her office.Uninvited and unannounced.She turned, startled with an ancient scroll in her hand,brittle, and covered in runes I knew.It was the Covenant of the Twin Flame.But I didn't bother to look at it in order not to raise her suspicion.I looked at her.“Headmistress,” I said. “I wanted to apologize.”She paused. “For what?”“For being distant. For being… difficult. I know you’re only trying to protect me and the entire academy.”Her eyes narrowed. Aria, "did you suddenly change your mind or you're up to something?”“I had time to think,” I said. “

    Chapter Fifty-Seven****Morwen stormed the training yard the next morning, her boots striking the stone like a hammer. She didn’t call for formation.She commanded it.“Line up!” she roared, her voice slicing through the quietness like a sharp blade.We obeyed silently, rigid with eyes forward.She moved up and down before us, holding her staff so tight that her knuckles turned white. Then she stopped.And pointed at Jason.Come her!He stepped forward with a straight calm face.“You were held in the upper tower,” she said, voice low and dangerous. “Bound and marked under my personal guard. No one entered. No alarm sounded yet by dawn you were gone. Found unconscious in the infirmary, your wounds healed, the suppression runes erased.”She stepped closer. “How did you escape?”Jason didn’t move. “I don’t know, Headmistress.The only thing I remember was pain,then darkness. When I woke up, I was there. Maybe the bindings failed. Maybe the magic burned out.”“Impossible,” she stamped her

  • Academy Of Cursed Hearts    The Shadow That Sees All.

    Chapter Fifty-Six**** I stood there scared and confused.The mirror remained cold and silent.I pressed harder, my breath started racing fast. “Twin? Can you hear me? Answer me please!”Then she laughed.The mirror blinked, and her face appeared smiling, her eyes burning with fire.“You should’ve seen your face,” she said. “Like the world had ended.”My heart was pounding. “You scared me.”I wanted to, she said, still smiling. “Fear keeps you sharp. And right now, Aria, you need to be sharp like a razor.I exhaled, trembling. “Don’t ever do that again.”Then stop underestimating me, she said. I didn’t go silent because I was gone. I went silent because she was listening.”Who? Morwen“Yes,the mirror isn’t just a door,” the twin said. “It’s a conduit. And if she focuses enough, she can hear whispers from the other side. So I stayed quiet. Let her think she’d broken the link. Let her believe what she's seeing.”“And now?”“Now,” she said, her smile starting to fade, “we move. Because
