Rejected to be His Luna 125. Hikari's wish for duel
[Zeve’s POV] The tensed scowl on Amor’s face clearly showed how displeased he was about what I said. Morfan reciprocated his alpha’s expressions. I knew he hadn’t given me the permission to make decisions on my own, but everything would go down the drain before something could even start. Convincing Amor would be a formidable task, but I had to do it, anyway. “What is this?” “What does this mean?” “Did she mean to say she accepted the duel with prince Hikari?” “Silence!” Amor said, and the buzzing immediately stopped in the hall. His wrath poured into his deep voice and darkening eyes. “I will request the luna to say what you want in simple words.” Amor said in a tone that I had never heard him use it with me. Right, my friend Amor wasn’t talking to me. It was Alpha Amor. “Regardfully, I accept the duel request of Prince Hikari. But I think I will need some time to prepare for the duel so that I am not defeated in just one slash,” I said. Amor stared at me with cold eyes.
Rejected to be His Luna 126. Convincing him
[Zeve’s POV] He held my shoulders as we parted from the hug. “Hit you?” He took a few seconds to process what I said. He licked his lips and gave the most awkwardly baffled look. “Why would I hit my luna? My wife? Why would I even think of such a horrendous thing? I take pride in calling myself a man. Why would I do something so unmanly?” Amor ran his fingers through his hair. “Forget about being a man. Even devils respect the feminine power. We are mere mortals. Real men protect their women from monsters. They don’t become one for her.” I dropped my gaze to the floor, holding back the flood in my eyes. “Why did you think that I’d hit you? Did I unconsciously do something to make you feel that way? Were actions not right? Please tell me, I’ll correct myself.” I licked my lips and shook my head, “no… you didn’t. It’s just… in my head.” I forced a smile, barely holding my tears. “Has today’s stress taken a toll on you? Should I call Lucella? Did your mind go for a jog? Do you
Rejected to be His Luna 127. His want, his need
[Zeve’s POV] I dropped my heavy gaze at his emerald jabot brooch, pressing my lips. Before I could let out the feverish breath, Amor lifted me off the ground, twirled me and made me sit on a table. “Amor?” I breathed him in as he leaned over me. I leaned backwards, propping myself on my elbows. His hand was on my knee, then on my thigh, and soon caressing my inner thighs. My breaths fastened as the heat from his hand seeped to my core. His other hand went up my back as he pulled up my torso closer to his. I pulled my shoulders closer to my neck, realising that he’d kiss my throat. But before he did, I placed my palm on his lips. “R-revenge kiss. It was a revenge kiss. You remember how many kisses you took from me that day in the name of one kiss? So this was one of them…” I said, averting my eyes from him. What the hell am I doing? He slid my hand down his lips. His warm fingers intertwined with mine. He leaned closer to my ear and whispered, “stop taking such sweet and inno
Rejected to be His Luna 128. Sword training begins
[Zeve’s POV] ‘Even though I am teaching you the sacred sword skills of the Enver pack, I want you to promise me you will never use these skills ever in your life and if you did, you’ll see my dead body.’ That was what Chaz said before teaching me sword fighting from the basics. ‘B-but why… are you teaching them to me when… I can’t even use them?’ I asked him and all he did back then was give me a smile. ‘Promise me, Zeve. This is our ancestral treasure. Promise me you will never use these skills, not even when your life is in danger. Never means never, and you will not break this promise as long as I live.’ He kept on insisting that I never use those skills. Back then, I was so madly in love with him that this was my reply. ‘I promise you, Chaz. I will never use these skills. I’d never want my mate to die because I wanted to save my life. I’d rather die than let anything hurt you. Moreover, you are always there to protect me, so I don’t need to remember these skills.’ Maybe I h
Rejected to be His Luna 129. Crimson melancholy
[Zeve’s POV] “Who taught you swords?” I expected that question from him. There was no point in hiding anything from him, anyway. “Chaz Enver,” I said. He frowned. “Why would he?” I shrugged. “I don’t know. Chaz taught me the basics for three months and then he made me promise to never use what he taught me ever in my life even if I was dying.” Amor thoughtfully contemplated my reflection in his sword’s blade. He tightened his jaws. “I shouldn’t have given him such a simple death. Damn it!” Amor growled, gritting his teeth. “Why didn’t you tell me you know the basics?” “Because I didn’t know what he taught me were the basics. I thought what he taught me was some random sword techniques. I didn’t intend to hide anything from you, but we had never had a conversation about swords before. You assumed I didn’t know the basics of swords. You never asked me if I did or not.” I said matter-of-factly. “That’s… well, that’s right. I hate to admit this, but that bastard taught you the b
Rejected to be His Luna 130. Reasons I saved her
[Amor’s POV] “Morfan! Where are the things we expropriated from the Enver pack?” I asked Morfan while we were going through the reports the dukes submitted about the current situation all over the pack. “You asked to burn them,” Morfan said. “As if you’d.” I looked at him. He smirked faintly. “Of course, I wouldn’t. There can be important secrets in those documents that can come in handy in the future, alpha. Enver pack was the most secluded pack even though it occupied less land. It was strong and its military was exceptional to have protected their pack from our first three attacks. Then those letters too…” Morfan was right. Enver pack had held back our three attacks. I wasn’t that interested in their land or territory because they were on the other side of the world, so all three times, I sent a troop along with one that aimed to confiscate Nialruz. Even though it wasn’t a full-fledged army that attacked the Enver pack, the troop I sent comprised extremely powerful warrior
Rejected to be His Luna 131. Thank the waves
[Amor’s POV] I had to do my research, anyway. It was better to not get too attached to a power. I exhaled. “Where are the things from the Enver pack?” I asked Morfan, rubbing my temples. “They are piled in your office in the Aura palace in Arginieth along with other works that have been pending for three and a half months,” Morfan said with a daunting smile. I knew what that smile meant. He was going to make me work overtime for several months to get those works done, along with the new ones that would keep adding up every day. I sighed, “you won’t show me any mercy, will you? Even if I am newly married?” I looked at him, blinking innocently. “Don’t even think about Mercy and as for newly married. No one knows better than me what kind of relationship you have with her highness. I wrote the contract, did you forget? So even if the god of death comes to collect your soul, I won’t let you take a day’s leave. Not to forget all the explanations you need to give for your abiding order
Rejected to be His Luna 132. Knight's hierarchy
[Amor’s POV] While I went through all the reports, Zeve had completed a hundred rounds of swords’ basics with the knight. She was drenched in sweat from head to toe when she came with the knight. I gaped at her heaving chest, proud smile and the shirt that stuck to her skin. Morfan gaped at both of them, panting like crazy with ruffled hairs and completely disoriented clothes. “What time is it now, Morfan?” I asked. “Midnight, alpha,” he replied. I had asked her to do a hundred rounds in the evening when the clouds were greyish red. Don’t tell me she had been training without a second’s rest. “You can call it a day, knight,” I said. He bowed. “Thank you for your great tutoring, Arki. I understand swords a little better now,” Zeve said, looking at the knight with a smile. Arki? I, being the alpha, never bothered knowing their names, and she had trained with him once and just look at her talking so informally with him as if they were old friends. Why is every freaking man
