All Chapters of Academy Of Cursed Hearts : Chapter 171 - Chapter 179

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-One****The words hung in the air like sparks before a storm.Just as Jason opened his mouth to answer.Lira stepped out from behind the moon-bloom arbor like she’d been hiding into the shadows all along. Her eyes were gray as storm clouds moved over each of us, sharp and unreadable. She hadn’t heard our plan. But she’d heard enough.“You don’t have time to debate,” she said, voice low and urgent. “Morwen and Veyra are gathering the Coven of the Hollow Veil. Every dark-aligned student, every blood-sworn adept, and they’re summoning them all. They’re going to force the Queen’s Door open. Not with grace but with violence.” “They can’t. The Door rejects coercion.” I said unfolding my hands like I was unbothered but deep down I was shaking.“They don’t care,” Lira snapped. “They’ve sanctified Elian’s ash with forbidden rites. They believe his lineage makes him the perfect key,a soul torn between loyalty and ruin. If they spill his essence on the threshold

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Three****The black feather lay there like a brand.I didn’t need to think long. It's Morwen. Of course it was her. She couldn’t resist the theatrics,always draping her threats in feathers, ash, and riddles. As if I hadn’t already seen through every one of her petty games.I exhaled slowly, brushing the feather aside with two fingers like it might burn me. “Too wise?” I muttered under my breath, a dry laugh caught in my throat. “You’re not wise, Morwen. You’re desperate.”I lay back down, pulling the blanket up to my chin. The pendant hung on my neck like a dead weight. My eyes were heavy with sleep. Just a few hours. That’s all I needed. The Rite had taken more out of me than I’d admitted. My bones ached with the echo of storm and fire, and my soul still hummed from the triple bond we’d forged.Just when I wanted to doze off.The pendant started glowing with Gold, pulsing like a second heartbeat against my skin. I gasped, sitting upright as the glow

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Five****We sat quietly in the obsidian chamber without talking to each other, we let the silence stretch so we could enjoy the calmness.Hours melted like wax. Outside was busy and filled with noises and chaos but here, time bent around us like smoke. Jason, Kael, and I sat in a triangle, palms hovering just above the floor, eyes closed, hearts synced to the same silent rhythm. Every breath pulled power from the air,not just ours, but the world’s. The storm in my blood became calm. Jason’s shadow curled around my ankles like a loyal hound, no longer separate, but part of me. And Kael’s flame didn’t burn,it guarded. A living seal around our trinity was humming with ancient loyalty. When I opened my eyes, the obsidian mirrors showed our essences. Mine: a vortex of blue fire and silver lightning, coiled like a sleeping dragon. Jason’s: a depth of night, not empty, but alive,eyes blinking in the dark, watching, waiting. Kael’s: a furnace of crimson r

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Seven****At midnight I couldn't sleep, I stood at my window again, but this time, the air felt totally wrong, everything stood still as if time itself had paused.And then the screaming started.Not one voice. Dozens of voices,echoing from the west dorms to the Ash House. I ran out of my dorm even before Jason even knocked.By the time we reached the courtyard, the chaos was already spreading like fire through dry grass.“Five students are missing,” a sobbing first-year stammered to a circle of panicked students. “They were just here, and suddenly they were gone."Kael’s face went blue. “Not gone. Taken.”Jason grabbed my arm, his voice low. “Morwen is escalating.”I nodded my head in agreement.I looked towards the far end of the courtyard, Morwen was dressed in black mist and flanked by three Ash-Wraith, and she was smiling.Her eyes were void-black, dotted with dying stars,she looked at me across the chaos and gave me a clear message."I can tak

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Nine****The sky bled silver.The Eclipse is finally here.The moment the moon swallowed the sun, and the entire world .The ground of the academy became heavy. The Great Bell that was already cracked scattered into dust. Students screamed, professors vanished into hidden wards, and the air itself turned thick with ash and static.Morwen walked through the chaos like a queen returning to her throne.Behind her, the Pit of Echoes vomited forth everything she’d summoned: Ash-Wraiths howling in dead tongues, Bone Speakers chanting from rib cages, the Hollow Flame writhing like a serpent made of smoke and spite. The Heartstone pulsed in her chest, its hunger finally satisfied now, it burned with purpose.She was going to the Door.And she wasn’t asking anymore.The pendant burned against my chest before I even opened my eyes.I gasped, sitting up in the obsidian chamber as Jason and Kael jolted awake beside me.“She’s going there,” I said, voice raw. “To t
