Chapter 18: Both Sides Reject Her

last update publish date: 2026-07-05 06:00:00

The silence that followed the awakening of the Hollow Sentinels lasted less than a minute, then the academy erupted into chaos. Students poured from the Grand Atrium, voices overlapping in fear and confusion. Professors shouted instructions that few bothered to follow. Some wolves shifted partially, unable to control their instincts, while younger vampires instinctively retreated into the shadows lining the corridors.

  • Blood Oath Academy    Chapter 22: A Scent That Shouldn’t Exist

    The seven warning bells echoed across Noctis Academy long after the sound itself had faded. No lessons were held the following morning. Instead, every student was ordered to report to their respective Houses for emergency instructions. Professors moved quickly through the corridors, their calm expressions hiding an unease none of them could completely disguise. For the first time in generations, the academy prepared for war.Virelle stood alone outside Hollow Residence, watching older students reinforce shimmering silver wards around the buildings. Ancient runes glowed beneath the stone pathways before fading back into the earth, as though the academy itself had awakened from a long sleep “It’s strange.” Soreya joined her, carrying two mugs of steaming tea “What is?”“Everyone was afraid of you yesterday.” She handed one mug to Virelle “Today they’re afraid of something worse.”Virelle accepted the tea with a grateful smile “The Veil Hunters.” Soreya nodded “My grandmother used to tel

  • Blood Oath Academy    Chapter 21: First Clash Between Heirs

    The academy awoke beneath a sky veiled by thick silver clouds. The usual rhythm of Noctis Academy had vanished. Instead of discussing examinations or upcoming combat trials, every conversation revolved around the same three names, Virelle Ashthorne, Theron Blackmoor and Kaeldryn Voss. Students whispered in corridors, crowded around dining tables, and lingered outside classrooms, each version of the story becoming more unbelievable than the last.“They say Theron’s wolf bowed to her.”“No, it attacked him because of her.”“My cousin swears the vampire prince has been living in the Blood Library.”“I heard both heirs are hiding something.” Virelle kept her eyes fixed ahead as she crossed the Grand Hall with Soreya

  • Blood Oath Academy    Chapter 20 – Theron’s Wolf Reacts

    The whispers had changed; only a few days earlier, students had whispered because Virelle was different. Now they whispered because something ancient had recognised her; Noctis Academy had never felt quieter. The grand corridors still bustled with students rushing to lessons, but conversations stopped whenever Virelle walked past. Eyes followed her from every balcony, every doorway, every classroom.Some were curious; most were fearful. Virelle had learned to keep her head high. If she showed the loneliness weighing on her heart, the academy would mistake it for weakness; she refused to give them that satisfaction. Across the eastern training grounds, Theron wasn’t watching the combat demonstration. He was watching her; she crossed the courtyard with Soreya beside her, laughing softly at something her friend had said.

  • Blood Oath Academy    Chapter 19: Kaeldryn’s Obsession Begins

    Morning arrived beneath a sky the colour of polished steel. For the first time since Virelle had arrived at Noctis Academy, the academy bells rang without the usual rush of students filling the corridors. Conversations were quieter. Laughter was rare. Every glance lingered a little too long. Word of the Hollow Sentinels kneeling before her had spread far beyond the academy walls. The stories had already begun changing.Some claimed she had commanded the Sentinels with a single word; others believed she had awakened an army buried beneath the Hollow Grounds. One particularly imaginative rumour insisted she was older than the academy itself. Virelle wished even one of them were true. At least then she’d have answers. Instead, she walked alone toward Combat Strategy with a satchel over one shoulder and questions that refused to leave her mind.

    The silence that followed the awakening of the Hollow Sentinels lasted less than a minute, then the academy erupted into chaos. Students poured from the Grand Atrium, voices overlapping in fear and confusion. Professors shouted instructions that few bothered to follow. Some wolves shifted partially, unable to control their instincts, while younger vampires instinctively retreated into the shadows lining the corridors.Virelle stood rooted where she was, the image of every Sentinel kneeling before her replayed over in her mind. “They remember their Queen.” Headmaster Edric’s words echoed louder than the panic surrounding her. Queen. The title felt impossible; she wasn’t royalty, she wasn’t even accepted. She barely understood the strange power growing inside her. How could ancient guardians mistake her for someone else?

  • Blood Oath Academy    Chapter 17: The Hollow Grounds

    The first rule of Noctis Academy was simple: never enter the Hollow Grounds after sunset. The second rule was even simpler: if the Hollow Grounds called your name, pretend you never heard it. Virelle learned both rules before breakfast. She stood in Ancient History while Professor Maelis carved glowing silver runes across the black slate wall. The elderly scholar rarely raised his voice, yet every student in the lecture hall watched him with unwavering attention.“The academy,” he began, “was not built where it is by chance. Every stone beneath your feet was placed to guard something far older than these walls.” His silver eyes swept across the room before settling, just for a heartbeat, on Virelle “The Hollow Grounds are forbidden because they remember.” A murmur rippled through the students. One boy near the front laughed nervously. “Ground can’t remember, Professor.”Professor Maelis smiled faintly “No?” With a flick of his fingers, one of the runes ignited, the classroom vanished

    TThe Hollow Grounds were quieter than the rest of the academy. Not peaceful. Not calm. Just quieter in the way abandoned places were quiet, as if sound itself hesitated before entering. Virelle followed the stone path away from the main courtyard, each step carrying her farther from the grand towe

    The doors did not open like doors; they parted, slowly and silently, as if the stone itself had decided to let them pass. Virelle stood at the threshold, her body still humming faintly from the oath, her palm tingling where the wound had already sealed.

    No one told Virelle where to look. But every instinct in her body told her not to look down.Not at the glowing sigil beneath her feet. Not at the silver-veined stone that still hummed with the aftershock of whatever had awakened below the academy. Not at the mark on her collarbone, which had final

    The world did not disappear all at once; it shattered. Virelle felt it in fragments, like glass breaking in slow motion, each piece of reality splintering away from her as she was dragged through something that had no shape, no direction, no end. The crimson light surrounded her, but it wasn’t jus
