[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?’

[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

[Zeve’s POV]His words set my whole body on fire. His leg parted my legs. My body arched away from the wall. He gripped my hips. “How did you go through your heats during this time, Zeve?” He asked, licking two of his fingers and running them gently over my folds. “Have you been touching yourself or did you get some—”“Amor! How could you even say such a thing?” I was filled with an excruciating rage. How could he say something like that in a moment like this?“What I was going to say was, did you get some medicine to stop your heats, but I think my wife thought of a completely different thing, hmm?”“Don’t play with me. I know what you were going to say. Did I let someone else touch me? No, I didn’t. No matter how desperate I am… if it’s not you, I will repel every other man in this universe. What about you? Did you get yourself someone to get you through your ruts, or did you go to the courtesan court?” I asked daringly.He entered his fingers inside me and I tried to close my leg

[Zeve’s POV]“Do you want to meet Ez?” I asked. We went back to Ez’s castle.“Not really,” Amor said.He hugged me from behind while I buttoned my shirt. He helped me button up my shirt. “I know you hate vampires, but Ez is different. Trust me, if you meet him and get to know him, you will understand that his vision is ages ahead…”“I know how much he likes you. If you keep praising him like this, I will get jealous,” he said, licking my neck. I shuddered as he nuzzled against my nape.I turned around and looked at Amor. “How did you know?”He pulled me in roughly and kissed from my throat to my cleavage. “I didn’t mean to witness your romantic time together with him, but things kind of led to it…”“Then I hope you also heard my reply…” I gasped as he picked me up in his hands, made me wrap my legs around his waist, and pinned me against the wall.“Of course, your polite rejection saved his life that day,” he said, peering at my lips.I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
Rejected to be His Luna 249. Deciphering the key
[Zeve’s POV]I set off with Aria to the Ichor palace’s ruins. There were already several of Ez’s vampire soldiers and Aria’s team on the site. Some were taking care of the debris and others were digging out precious items from it and Aria’s team was looking for the door that could lead us to Derek’s underground palace.The problem was the magic around that palace that didn’t allow me to enter it through teleportation. There was definitely something that Derek wanted to hide from everyone, and maybe the Nyx scythe was there, too.Through Mayavi’s memories attached to the key, I came to know about the door that could allow me to enter Derek’s personal palace. There, I was also expecting to find some clue about who had Derek reincarnated into.

[Zeve’s POV]“Check mate,” Amor said.“Oh man! I lost again!” Ez ruffled his hair, looking at the chess pieces in front of him.Amor sat leisurely, folding his hand across his chest.“You are only concentrating on your strategies, but you should also be able to comprehend what your opponent is thinking and then make probabilities. Chess is a lot more than just being good with your pieces. You will win once you can play the game not just with your pawns, but with the pawns of your opponent as well.”Ez dropped his head on the table. “All my life was a lie. I want a refund from life.”Amor laughed. “Keep playing. One

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
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
