[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…

    [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

    [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

    [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

    [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

    [Zeve’s POV] She got up and doffed off her robe and looked at me with determination filled eyes. I lifted my brows. “What can I do with your body? And please stop getting naked all the time.” She quickly picked up the robe and wrapped it around herself again. “I do everything you tell. I use myself for you. Only help me meet my brother, please. I never become burden to you, Aria promise.” “Good grace. I don’t think he will attack me for a few days. If I have understood him properly. He will attack me again in a week, hmm…” I looked at her. “Fine. Help me find my sword.” She nodded and started hopping all around the place, looking for Red. “Do you know what my sword looks like?” I asked in an impassive voice. “No,” she shook her head with a pout. I don’t know why that made me laugh. I set the corpses of vampires ablaze and entered the borders of the Enver pack with Aria. I got her some clothes from an abandoned cloth store. We walked on the empty streets, still covered with

    [Amor’s POV]..{Three Years Later}.……..….“Who is he, Celeste?”I had come to the Frost Forest to take back Celeste to the palace. Her punishment was over and it was time to return, but there was an eighteen-year-old boy who had been with her for three years.My shadows had informed me about him. I told them to get rid of that boy, yet he was standing just fine in front of me.“Who is the boy standing beside you?” I asked Celeste again. Celeste was sixteen by then and had grown into such a fine lady. Although she was dressed in men’s clothes. But that didn’t bother as much as the boy standing beside her.She glanced at the boy. From his clothes, he looked like a commoner. His grey eyes had a slight red shade. From his scent, I could clearly tell he was a hybrid.“Don’t make me repeat a third time.” I glared at the boy.She kept ignoring me. I took a deep breath.“Alpha, calm down. Princess is in puberty. Rebellious hormones. And also she probably hates you now, so…” Morfan whis

  • 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.

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

    [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

    [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

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.
