[Amor’s POV]I touched my beards looking at my face in Zeve’s dressing mirror.“I think I need a shave.”We had taken a bath after sleeping for a few hours and dressed in nightwears.“No, you look sexier in beards,” she said, combing her hair sitting in front of the dressing table. We looked at one another through our reflections in the mirror. I was standing behind her chair. I crouched and rubbed my cheeks with hers. “Ouch! Your beard pricks!” she yelped.“You said I looked sexy in them. Now bear my sexiness.” I rubbed my cheeks on her neck.She giggled, trying to escape me. “Amor, stop… haha.” she sang in laughter.She got up from the chair and tried to glare at me, holding back her laughter. I reached out to catch her when she teleported behind me, tickling me all over.I broke into laughter, “stop… hahaha… Zeve! Fine! I won’t rub my beards on you again… ok… haha… stop!”I caught her hands and pulled her in front of me, hugging her as I kissed every inch of her neck. “Amoris, y

[Amor’s POV]“You said if we knew where your Katana was?” One of them stood on her palm and looked at her, lifting his head.Zeve nodded.“Well, we are your Katana. I remember your scent. It was your blood that awakened us.”“I don’t understand,” Zeve said, tensing her brows.“We feel the same scent from him too…” the three fairies glued to my chest said together in a dreamy voice as they snuggled against my sternum. It literally gave me chills down my spine.“Don’t lie. The three of you are all over him because he is handsome.” The sleepy one said and fell asleep again.Zeve held the three of them by their wings and tore them off my chest.Zeve’s eyes glowed as she said, “don’t ever touch him again or I will break your wings…” her voice was hoarse. Ria!The three fairies flinched at her words.Thank God! Ria to the rescue. I love you Ria!“Who are you guys?” Zeve’s glowing silver eyes turned to normal and so did her voice.“We are dragon fairies. Simply put, we are the blood cells o

[Zeve’s POV]Hikari silently peered at the dead raven. Amor had mind-linked everyone in the palace to stay on high alert and inform him instantly if they felt anything odd. Meanwhile, he called Hikari, Morfan, Lucella and Zahir in our room to see the raven’s blood letter from Derek.By then Red had taken their Katana form.“Lady Ella?” Morfan said with a tensed expression. Amor glanced at him with a blank, uncertain face. “I will stay with her just in case…” Morfan ran out of the room. His voice had a slight shaking. He was disturbed. Everyone in the room was.“Call all the members of the royal family in the courtroom,” Amor told his butler. But then he mind-linked to the royal family himself. I could clearly see him panicking. I could see it on his face and in his body language.Meanwhile, I had sent as many spy butterflies as I could create all around the palace, but I had found nothing strange.“Forget about it… I will go get them all myself…” Amor said, and Hikari held his hand.
Rejected to be His Luna 227. Life goes on
[Zeve’s POV]The otherwise gloomy sky looked gloomier that day as I peered out of the silent hospital balcony.The dark clouds hovered in the sky as if they were determined to block even the grey light of hope and happiness to reach our pack. The precinct of the hospital was silent a few hours ago, but now it was filled with sobs and cries. A mother had died during childbirth. The child was healthy and alive, but he hadn’t stopped crying since he was born.Birth and death both occurred at the same time. “I told her, her weak body wouldn’t be able to handle the strain of childbirth,” her husband was sobbing, sitting helplessly beside her dead body. “She wanted to be a mother. But what is the use now? She didn’t even see her kid and left this world. It wasn’t worth it! It’s all my fault. I should have stopped her.”I wondered if her death was tragic or satisfactory because before she left this world as a mother. Since she was weak, she would die eventually anyway, she chose to die aft

[Zeve’s POV]Everyone in the royal family had gathered in the royal funeral mortuary and everyone waited for aunt Lozbi and her husband.Jade’s body was placed on a white bed carved out of pure white marble on a high platform. Marble bed was surrounded by all kinds of white flowers, especially the white lilies. The whole mortuary was lit up with white light.All of us were dressed in simple pure white dresses.The royal priest was carrying out the funeral ceremony, performing all the purification and holy rituals before burial. I stood beside Amor on a platform lower than the marble bed. Amor had been standing with his head held low.Mother’s, aunt Helene’s and a few princess’ subtle sobs were the only sound except the chanting.Aunt Lozbi and Duke Knox finally came into the mortuary, and my heart rate increased.Aunt Lozbi trudged into the hall. Her every step looked so heavy that it was excruciating for her to take them. Duke Knox walked behind her, his face paler than ice, as if h

[Zeve’s POV]The guards near Talia’s cell became alert. I took off my hood, and they bowed.“Open the cell,” I ordered. They did.I entered the cell. Talia was shackled with the stone walls, her hands chained to the ceiling and her feet nailed to the floor.The guards entered, and I gestured for them to leave the cell.Her hair hung over her face.“What is she?”“Who is she?”“Demon.”“Kill her.”I heard the dragon fairies speak in my head.“Talia,” I took her name. The chains jingled, and she broke out of her sleep.“You! You came…” I grabbed her mouth. All she could do was grunt and take out incoherent sounds from her throat. Her recent memories transferred to me. “So, Lynx is indeed in the Regina mountains, huh?” I left her mouth, pushing her back as I stood at a safe distance from her.“Free me!” she said, as if she was entitled to order me.“Why should I?” I asked, folding my hands over my waist.“Because I can be useful to you. I can take you to the one who is behind all this…
Rejected to be His Luna 230. Future plans
[Zeve’s POV]“Finally, Lexi delivered the reports to Amor, Morfan and gamma Nash,” I talked to myself while my butterfly monitored Lexi.I had prepared a report on all the knowledge I had gathered on mana, my own experiments I had conducted on mana, and also planned a rough draft of a training regime for the soldiers.I had a lot to do in so little time, so I asked Lexi for help. The news that I left the pack would soon spread all over Arginieth. But in the letter I wrote to Amor, I requested him to make an official announcement about it. Amor was still standing near Jade’s grave when he received the report from Lexi. Mother and aunt Lozbi were there too.Hikari had left Yule with Duke Knox. I had a feeling he was on his way to see me.There was so much on my mind, yet my thoughts were redirecting to my meeting with Talia.“What the hell was he trying to do?” I questioned myself, rethinking my twenty-two years in the Enver pack and my time with Chaz. I felt Hikari’s warm winds surro
Rejected to be His Luna 231. The shadow eaters
[Zeve’s POV]The fire of the from the bomb blasts cracked into the ground, spreading all over the crater in huge glowing lines of flames. I broke into cold sweats, seeing the fire take the form of what looked like a giant magic circle.Hikari stepped in front of me, drawing his Katana as he peered at the circle.I sent my butterflies to see what was going on in the crater. The tents were all set ablaze, flesh, blood and bones scattered all over the ground. The ones who were alive were trying to escape. Lynx was alone in his tent, screaming for someone to come and save him, but everyone was trying to protect themselves.“HELP ME! PLEASE HELP ME!” Lynx called for help. “YOU SAID WE WERE SAFE HERE! LIAR! YOU ARE LIAR…” that was the last thing he said before being buried under his ablaze tent.‘The portal to the dark world. It’s the portal to the dark world. Do not offer it more lives! Put off the fire. Put off the fire before the circle completes!’ The magic voice inside me screamed in m

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

It was unbearably cold.That time, that’s all I felt. A cold that made my spine shiver.I wanted to feel, but how?Everything I locked up within me and in the magic and key core came back.It all came back, but I think it never left in the first place.Even after hundreds of years, I could still feel her presence by the s

[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

[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
