Rejected to be His Luna 239. Masquerade
[Amor’s POV]An empty heart, an empty room, an empty tomorrow, a brush of longing and memories filled with her colours can make any normal man an artist, and that’s what had exactly happened to me over these three years. There was no forgetting her for me. She was still burning my soul the same as she did three years ago. At times, I had powerful urges to give up everything and just find her. Every time I desired to see her, to have her glimpse, I used to shut my eyes, and she was there right in front of me.I tried to picture her as she was in my memories in those portraits, but none of them were even close to the real Zeve. Over time, my paintings got better, but still none of my portraits could be compared to Zeve in my memories.I tried my best to not think of her so often that I became sick, but sometimes I couldn’t help but miss her and long for her. I kept cursing myself for letting her go and then questioning myself if this wait would ever end.All those portraits were my fut
Rejected to be His Luna 240. Those five minutes
[Amor’s POV]“Are you deaf? I asked something. Who are you?” the vampire princess yelled rudely.“Umm. Actually, I was trying to find my way to the ball, but I lost my way.”Thank god she didn’t see me come through the secret door, I thought.She squinted her eyes, her red eyes glowing. “A werewolf?” she grunted. “You must have gotten the invitation letter from the lottery, too. Holy blood! I wondered where such a delicious smell was coming from? It’s you, your kind, tsk! I told brother Ez that food shouldn’t be dancing in a ball, but served in a bowl or perhaps a bed.” I stood quietly, looking at her.She crossed her hands over her waist and walked closer to me. She circled around me, checking me from all sides. “Hmm. Take off your mask,” she said, and I almost glared at her. “Take off your mask, you deaf! I, princess Stella Elvira, order you.”I was sure she would recognize me if I took off my mask because my portraits were published in royal magazines all around the world. “Par
Rejected to be His Luna 241. Beginning of Falls
[Amor’s POV]Everything looked quite normal in the palace. I got to know that the party was held to celebrate Kaltain’s birthday. The ball began with Ez making an entrance with Zeve and both of them started the party with a dance.Yes, I was about to leave after seeing Zeve, but I don’t know why I stayed for a little longer.“I can’t see brother Kaltain anywhere,” Stella said, dancing with me to the slow song playing in the hall.Zeve was dancing with Ez.“It has never happened before. Brother Kaltain and brother Ez have always been like body and shadow. I wonder why they have been drifting apart recently,” Stella said.‘Does this girl not know that personal royal matters shouldn’t be discussed with strangers?’ Rian was especially irritated by her.“Brother Kaltain even opposed this coming together of vampires and werewolves tonight, but brother Ez wanted this to be a new beginning for both the species,” Stella said.A burning scent irritated my nose. I looked around and everything w
Rejected to be His Luna 242. Nexuses of darkness
[Amor’s POV] Aria and her people created a circular fire wall around Zeve using some kind of metallic tube, and the hellhounds backed off. Zeve rose above the fire in the air, looking down at Kaltain with her nonchalant eyes. “Show me your best today, Kaltain. This entire palace is our little playground where I have nothing to lose and you only have your life to protect. Anything less than your best will cost you your life,” she said in a rather impassive tone. That was a warning for him, but I got goosebumps. It would be impossible to get out of there unnoticed, and if I jumped in the middle of them, I would only end up becoming Zeve’s weakness. I should have gone while I had time. “Someone’s getting cocky. Impressive. Last time I saw you, you were trembling beneath me. If it wasn’t for that Amor Blaze, I would have crushed you already. Well, I have some personal grudges against that man. It’s because of him I wasn’t able to inherit lord’s spirit. Yeah. You got the wrong man, an
Rejected to be His Luna 243. Last speck of light
[Amor’s POV]Nyx Scythe? Like the grim reaper’s scythe?“How do you know about the scythe?” Kaltain asked.“Do you really think all I had been doing in the past few years was play hide and seek with you and your lord? The magic that was used to bring night to this world wasn’t dark magic, even though it included living sacrifices. It was a curse. And Nyx Scythe is the only weapon gifted to the sorcizens by the god of death himself. That weapon can cut through and tear apart any curse…”Kaltain broke into laughter. “You are such a clown. To use the scythe to cut through a curse, you need to provide more mana to the scythe than the mana that was used to being that curse to life.”“I know.”He laughed even louder. “And you think you can pull that off? Even clowns know when to stop kidding around. That’s not even funny anymore.”“Remind you, Kaltain. The curse that your lord put on this world isn’t complete yet. The second sacrifice is still left and if I succeed in cutting through this a
Rejected to be His Luna 244. Out of body experience
[Amor’s POV]I could see myself sleeping on a bed in a room royally decorated in the typical vampire colours and aesthetics. Aria, Ez, and vampire doctors were all around my body on the bed.My mask was long gone. They were wiping my body, dipping white cotton rugs in the iced water. “What has happened to him?” Ez asked. “A werewolf’s body shouldn’t be this hot, right?” He looked worried. “Indeed, king. But we cannot find the cause of his condition. His wounds were normal and have healed already. He should have gained consciousness by now,” the doctor said.I was seeing them from the corner of the ceiling. It was then I realised that I was floating. I looked at myself and my hands were translucent yellow.‘Wait! Did I die?’ I panicked, but then looked at my body on the bed again and my body was breathing. ‘Is it what people call out-of-body experience? Maybe I suffered a concussion.’I looked around, and Zeve wasn’t there. ‘Right! What happened to Kaltain and Zeve’s fight? Who won?’
Rejected to be His Luna 245. Back to you
[Amor’s POV]“Is it what I am thinking it is?” Rage said, fluttering around Zeve’s hand, holding the key.“Yes, it is. The key to Derek’s underground palace,” Zeve said. “The place he so desperately wanted to erase from everyone’s memories that he built the main palace of the Elvira family over it.”“That is why you destroyed the Ichor palace?” Laila asked.“Yes,” Zeve said. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go inside the underground palace,” Lily said excitedly.Zeve’s legs were literally shivering from exhaustion.‘No, let her rest,’ I said, grabbing the attention of the dragon fairies. ‘Tell her to go back to safety, get her wounds treated, and rest before proceeding further.’Lead nodded. “I think you should rest before…”“No need,” Zeve said, getting on her feet. “All of you, get back in my veins and rest. I don’t have time to waste.”‘No! Zeve! Don’t be an imbecile. You are in no condition to keep going like this. Holy goddess! The time taken to rest and reboot oneself is no
Rejected to be His Luna 246. Let's get pregnant
[Zeve’s POV]When the dragon fairies told me about how they could see Amor as a glowing yellow light, I understood something was going on with him. They told me that Amor wanted me to rest before doing anything further, so I went where Ez and others were. As soon as I saw Aria’s guilty face, I understood she had done something. She told me everything that happened in Arginieth and also about Amor’s unstable condition.I couldn’t believe that all that time Amor had been around me and I was so preoccupied with executing my plan that I didn’t even notice his presence. To save my mana for fighting Mayavi and Kaltain, I didn’t even create my spy butterflies. Maybe I should have done that, but I had no time to regret.I rushed to the room where Amor was with Ez and the doctors.They had made him lie on a bed of ice, but even that was melting, as if Amor’s body was hotter than the red heated iron.I touched Amor’s body and tried to read his recent memories, but I didn’t get any clue why his

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
Rejected to be His Luna 289. It's just... cold
[Zahir’s POV]Why don’t you smile?Why don’t you cry?Why don’t you fight?Why don’t you get angry?Why don’t you get scared?What the hell is wrong with you?You are my son, and you cannot be the monster they say you are.Feel!Feel something!Feel anything!Feel everything!‘If nothing, then feel the pain!’That face of a person I was supposed to call my mother.Those glowing eyes floating in sheer darkness.Those words were like pure acid, pouring in my ears.Those snarls of pure hatred and screams and cries, those slaps and whips.The dark bathroom flooded with water everywhere and blood dissolved in it through my veins.I remember.Maybe I felt nothing but cold. 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
Rejected to be His Luna 287. Nightmares
[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
