Rejected to be His Luna 110. Feral winds - Hikari
[Zeve’s POV] The man strutted into the hall as if he owned the entire pack and didn’t actually care about who the actual alpha was. He stopped before stepping on the stairs that led to us. He lifted his arcane gaze. My eyes met his eyes. I couldn’t show it on my face, but his gaze made me self-conscious. It was as if I had already read him through and through. All that’s left was to decipher him. His straight, dark blue hair was longer than mine, fluttering behind him as he stepped on the stair. He was dressed in a white shirt, pants with cloud pattern and no accessory, and a long black kimono coat with the prints of a golden dragon on back and on its long sleeves. His kimono coat and sleeves fluttered like dark waves behind him. The katana sword hung from his sword waist belt, peeked now and then from behind his kimono coat. His iris were dark blue in the centre and were outlined with a golden colour. He had a unique eye colour I had never seen before. His aura was warm and w
Rejected to be His Luna 111. Lovers to friends
[Zeve’s POV] No one dared stop Hikari. It was as if everyone in the hall knew Hikari wasn’t a force that could be stopped with swords or power. Like Morfan said, Hikari was the feral wind from the North. But according to me, he was already a storm with a broken, hurting and unmended heart. “That’s enough for the reception!” Amor yelled and scooped me up in his arms. I panicked, seeing all gazes on us as he walked down the stairs. But I thought resisting to be picked up in a bridal style would only cause more chaos so I just lowered my gaze. We left the hall with Morfan, mother and Lucella joining him on his way back to our room. He laid me on the bed. Amor clenched and unclenched his teeth, sitting beside me on the bed while Lucella checked me. “Does your chest still hurt?” She asked. Amor’s impatient gaze made me more restless. What did Hikari say to Amor? Why was Amor so restless and scared? What happened to me? What was that sharp pain in my chest earlier? I shook my
Rejected to be His Luna 112. In my sleep
[Zeve’s POV] Did I really roll all the way into his arms, using his biceps as my pillows while sleeping? Yes, I did. I incoherently screamed at myself in my head. I held my breath and stared at Amor, sleeping almost on the edge of the bed. I quietly got up from his hand. It was so embarrassing that I didn’t want him to wake up before I could get far away from him. But he was on the edge of the bed. If he moved an inch more, he would fall on the floor. He tensed his brows while sleeping. Fearing he’d fall off the bed, I held his arm on the floor side. “Amor! You’ll fall!” He lethargically opened his eyes. He widened his eyes and flinched back. “Waah~” he tumbled off the bed on the ground with a scream. He crossed his hands over his bare chest. “W-what are you doing?” I stared at him with a stoic smile. “You were about to fall from the bed and now you have already fallen.” I almost sang my words. “I was trying to save you, but maybe falling was your fate.” I gave a shrug. He
Rejected to be His Luna 113. The Kazumi skills
[Zeve’s POV] “Luna, it is the pack secret of the Kazumi culture. It would be indecent for us outsiders to interfere,” Morfan said. “Really? Outsiders? But I thought their pack was a part of the Aurora pack.” “Yes, they are a part of our Aurora pack, luna,” Morfan said. “If so then, they are not outsiders, they are family. And families don’t keep secrets from one another.” He looked at me blankly, as if he had nothing to counter what I said. “They don’t accept us as family, luna.” “Acceptance is from both sides. You don’t consider them as family either. Right now, you said they were outsiders. But it’s ok. We aren’t creating a family, anyway. It’s business.” “May I ask why do you want to know about his training and swords?” Morfan asked. “Simple. If we add even a bit of their sword skill to the training regime of our soldiers, what happened yesterday would never happen again. Strength is strength, and knowledge is knowledge. They don’t have culture or pack. You borrow them from
Rejected to be His Luna 114. Something to say
[Zeve’s POV] We stopped at a considerable distance from one another. His gaze skimmed from the floor to my eyes. With a straight spine, I held his gaze. My heart instantly caught an erratic beat. Calm down, Zeve. He can’t hurt you in front of so many people. There’s nothing to fear. Keep an impassive face like you practiced. My maids sunk their heads into a bow, stiffening their bodies. There were no guards in the hallway, of course, for the privacy reasons of the family. I thought he left yesterday. What the hell was he doing there? Maintaining our eye-contact, we stepped closer to one another. Finally, we stopped at a hand’s distance from each other. I smiled, “greeting alpha Hikari.” He peered at me with an unruffled face. He was wearing a black shirt and pants with a white belt and shoes. A white kimono coat with wind patterns on the back and on its long sleeves fluttered around him while he strutted. He bowed, “greeting to her highness the luna.” He looked around me.
Rejected to be His Luna 115. Blind to light
[Zeve’s POV] I let out a sigh and stood in front of him, face to face. “I want your skills.” He tilted his head, squinting his eyes. “Your sword skills fascinated me yesterday, so I want you to teach ten of my people all the skills needed to reach your level.” He crossed his arms across his chest and peered at me with his eyes having a golden glow. Was it his wolf again? Like yesterday? He had the same glow in his eyes. My body broke into a cold sweat. But I didn’t waver from my facade. I know he was glaring at me and I stared back at him, standing firm, waiting for his response. I let out a cold sigh. “I will take your silence as no. I expected so, albeit thank you for hearing me out.” I walked past him when he said. “When you knew my answer, why did you embarrass yourself by asking?” He said without looking at me. My back faced him as I faced the endlessness of the hallway. “If you don’t ask, it’s always a no. But if you ask, chances of that ‘no’ tuning to ‘maybe’ or e
Rejected to be His Luna 116. Stay away from him
[Zeve’s POV] I took the last turn in the hallway leading to my room and saw Amor with Morfan and the four maids I sent. Amor’s gaze met mine. Not caring about the bloodlust reeking from him or the daunting aura around him with the unsheathed sword in his hand, I dashed to him and hugged him tightly, almost crashing into him. “Zeve?” I heard his hoarse voice. I clenched Amor’s sleeping robe on his back in my shaking fists. Maybe because I was with him, I felt it was ok to be weak. Because it was him, I didn’t need to feign anything because he knew me through and through. His arm blanketed my back with his free hand. “Morfan, cancel everything for today. Make sure no one disturbs us.” He ordered Morfan. “As you wish, Alpha. I will take care of it,” Morfan left. “Make sure no one enters our room today. No one, not even my mother. Don’t come until called,” he ordered the maids. They bowed and left. The hallway was empty, with me hugging him. I had no intentions of parting from
Rejected to be His Luna 117. My wolf's name
[Zeve’s POV] We sneaked out of the palace. Yes, not walk out like alpha and luna, but sneak out like heist masters. Amor picked me in his arms and like a free wind, we blew out of the palace. I take my assumption back, Hikari wasn’t faster than Amor. No one in this world could be as fast as Amor. It was good to know that he was returning to his normal conditions. Lucella said that Amor could now transform into his wolf with no risk. His spine pain had also improved because of his wolf becoming stronger. I understood now how important the wolf spirit was to a werewolf. The strength they provide was unbelievable. It can only be experienced from within. I had experienced it only once and I couldn’t even imagine how far my wolf’s powers could take me. But the problem remained. My wolf wasn’t responding to my calls. I let out an exasperated sigh, trudging through the snow, holding Amor’s hand. “You ok?” Amor asked. I lifted my head to meet his gaze and nodded, “yeah.” “You do

Rejected to be His Luna 290. The First Sunrise
[Zeve’s POV] As I plunged into the magma, I had no thoughts in my head. My body was being consumed by the flames, while my heart almost stopped. It was cold inside the volcano. My clothes and armour melted away, but neither the flames nor the magma touched my skin. They flowed inches away from my skin. I held my breath. The bright red glowing magma flowed magnificently inside the volcano. It was scary how I could feel its heat yet not get burned. It was like one of those dreams came to reality, except this time the one to be burnt in flames was me and not Amor. The magma behind me started taking some kind of form. I felt Amor’s presence and my heart skipped a beat. I felt hands warped under my waist and knees. I shut my eyes with a shudder. The next thing I remember was I was sitting far away on the ground and watching the magma, ashes and rocks explode out of the volcano like fireworks. There was a dazzling figure hovering above the volcano, suppressing it back into the ground

[Zeve’s POV]“Mother, stop!” Killian yelled.“Venus, calm down… we can make things right, ok? Trust me. Put down the blade…” Zahir coaxed Venus into his manipulative tone.Venus distanced the blade from her throat as if Zahir’s words were controlling her on a mental level. Her hands were shaking as she held the blade to her throat.Her eyes were frozen, as if she was in Zahir’s control. She shook her head with a gasp, “no, not anymore. You can’t control me anymore…” her voice came out hoarse and shaky.And she put the blade against her neck again, this time cutting her skin and bleeding.“NO! NO! Stop!” Zahir panicked and stepped back from Venus, raising his hands.“What the hell is going on here? Venus!” I called out and was about to go to her when Hikari held my hand.I looked at him and frowned. Hikari shook his head.I looked at Venus again and the blade was Hikari’s katana.“Your katana?” I felt a strange fear take over me as I stared at Hikari for an answer.“I must have dropped

[Zeve’s POV]‘I see him burning and these nightmares just don’t stop. Day after day, it’s always the same thing. I try to save him, but the flames always find their way to him. His body… it’s like it’s melting. I couldn’t get these nightmares out of my head and it’s disturbing. A lot. So, I came to you for guidance. Do these nightmares mean something?’‘Dreams are often a window for the future. We just need to interpret them rightly,’ priestess Melantha said when I met her in my third year in Phantoria. ‘For a seed to turn into a sapling and then into a huge tree, the seed coat needs to break. He’ll burn for you and this world.’‘No, he won’t. I won’t let death touch him, not because of me — especially not because of this world.’ This was what I told her, and then she replied with a subtle smile.‘What is the definition of death for you, luna?’ She asked.‘I don’t know. Death for me is what it’s for everyone else. Bad, painful and gloomy and… end.’‘When the right time comes, you will
Rejected to be His Luna 286. Cutting the curse
[Zeve’s POV]There were two souls active inside Killian. One was of Derek and another of Polaris. Killian decided based on the soul that dominated him at a time.That was the only sane explanation I could give to why he was using Celeste as a hostage when Killian saved her, risking his own life.“Fine,” I said, calmly. “Let them go. But I don’t know how to get the core out of my body. Extract it yourself.”Killian frowned. “No hidden tricks, Zeve. I don’t have time for that.”I raised my hand to my shoulders as if I was surrendering myself. “I am telling you the truth. I was born with this core and never took it out. I am not playing any tricks.”Killian thought for some time and then stretched his palm towards me. Four black magic circles appeared around me. One above my head, one below my feet, one in front of my chest, and one behind it.“I am already stuck here. I can’t escape. Please let them go now,” I said. The hellhounds backed off from Lucella and Celeste.The suction from
Rejected to be His Luna 285. Luna he forgot
[Zeve’s POV]The sound of gunshots, along with screams of the knights getting attacked, mashed up with the howls of the hellhounds dominating the road. Killian coughed vigorously and threw out the broken pieces of rock with his teeth and blood from his mouth. “Oh, I know what devilishness it takes to create a utopia. But you really piss me off whenever I see you…” Killian snarled at Amor.Killian created a dark energy ball between himself and Amor, who was pressing him against the ground. The energy ball exploded, flinging Amor far away from Killian.Amor jumped back to his feet and drew out his sword. The armour worked. Amor wasn’t hurt badly. But I could just stand and wait for him to be hurt.I looked at the sky with my apprehension increasing with every second.On the training grounds, the screeches of shadow eaters were tackling the fire wall, keeping them locked within the magic circle. It was as if their screams were summoning the rain because heavy clouds had started looming
Rejected to be His Luna 284. The war has begun
[Killian’s POV]Dark clouds stirred over the ruins of the Aura palace and its training grounds. The land had prepared to devour the souls and vomit a curse in the darkest shade of black to open the portal to the dark world from where the creatures of hell would flood the land, turning it into their grazing field. They would feed on souls and lock them in timeless gloom — in a world of nothingness and doom. Their minds were under my control and their souls on my command would set themselves ablaze on the magical ground.I was prepared and so was the enemy.Heavy military and army of hundreds guarded the boundaries around the precinct of the Aura palace and its land. The knights were armoured and ready with their swords, defending the boundaries of the palace from outside.Warriors were ironclad in their wolf forms. The wolves of darker colours were standing on the front lines and surrounded the training grounds.The soldiers created a wall of shields on either side of the criminals’ p

[Zeve’s POV]“Should I take off this gown now?” Celeste asked, walking to me and then standing beside me as we peered at the air where Killian stood seconds ago.I looked at Celeste and caressed her cheek. “I know it’s uncomfortable, sweetie, but wait a little, hmm?”Celeste looked into my eyes and nodded once.“You did a good job. I am proud of you,” I said.A week without the key core and Celeste already looked so fragile. I had to get back the key core from Killian after the plan played out the way I wanted it to.I looked at the sky. The chess board was laid out, the only thing left was the game to begin.“Zeve, I don’t like this at all. You are pregnant and even if everything goes according to your plan, it’s still dangerous because we don’t know what might happen when things actually start happening,” Amor said.I looked at Amor and smiled.“I have heard kids take after their parents. I want my child to be brave, and for that, I have to be braver today. I am going to be a mother
