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
Rejected to be His Luna 228. First day of winter
[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
Rejected to be His Luna 229. Repentance
[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 232. The golden light
[Zeve’s POV]“What should we do now!”Lily, Lola, and Laila screamed together, panicking. Smile was gesturing something to Lead which I couldn’t interpret. Wake was still sleeping and Rage kept on glaring at the shadow eater who had pulled seventy percent of his fume body out of the invisible barrier.‘Zeve, look, they are working individually and not in groups. The others of his kind are trying to pull him inside,’ Ria said.“Yeah. But what can I do with that information right now?” “Luna. I will try to push him back into the magic circle using Yuki,” Hikari said.“No. Don’t do anything like that. What if they come at Yuki? No, we can’t afford to lose Yuki,” I said.“Luna, Yuki has no shadows when he is in his light form. Light creates shadows, but doesn’t have a shadow of its own,” Hikari said.“Right. Lead, can they devour light or mana?” I asked.“No, they can’t devour anything that they can’t touch,” he said.“But you said that the souls get trapped in the gloom hole for eternit
Rejected to be His Luna 233. Sirenity shores
[Zeve’s POV]I teleported near the seashores of Phantoria. After spending so much mana on the crater that was the farthest, I could teleport myself. The pitch black sand finely spread all around me, with the dark blue waves spreading white foam on the black shore like white paint that ultimately went back to the sea, seeping through the fine black grain of sand.There were huge rocky terrains beyond the shores. “I wanted to teleport in Uhnim…” I sighed, breathing out fog from my lips. As expected, Phantoria was freezing cold.Heavy clouds loomed over the ocean as if a storm had just passed by. I looked around and there was no trace of living beings anywhere near the shore. The shore had memories of storms that kept hitting it over the years. Maybe that was the reason there were no settlements near that shore.“Zeve… where will we go from here?” Lead asked.The dragon fairies fluttered around me. They looked excited seeing the magnificent sea shore. It was indeed eerie, yet pictures
Rejected to be His Luna 234. Weapons and tragedy
[Zeve’s POV]I lost Red and then that crap showed up. Great.I looked around once again and the number of soldiers Mayavi had brought clearly showed Derek had overestimated me. Or maybe he didn’t want to take chances.“Return my sword, you lowborn thieves,” I said, standing calmly as they slowly came closer to me.“Someone has learnt how to speak. You won’t tremble and call for your Amor to save you?” Mayavi said in a mocking tone. “Oh! Oh! He threw you out of his pack,” she chuckled. “You are not only less informed but delusional too,” I said. “Anyway, give back my sword to me. I have to return it to Hikari. If you want alms, beg and I might throw some snacks before you.” I mocked her.Mayavi scowled at me. “That pretty mouth of yours will soon beg me for mercy,” Mayavi said obnoxiously.“Delusional,” I shrugged. “Quietly come with us and I promise the only thing you will lose will be your magic,” Mayavi said.“Quietly return my sword to me and I promise the only thing you will no
