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 251. Hecate's wrath
[Amor’s POV]More than a week has passed since I returned to Arginieth. I had been having dreams of bright light every night. But that wasn't a bother because somehow I felt I was a part of that light. I was that light.But reality seemed darker than my dreams.I don’t know why I thought it would be a good idea to have a coming of age party for Celeste. I just wanted to change the environment of the palace that had been unbearably heavy for three years. Jade’s death, Yule’s disappearance, and Zeve’s decision to leave the pack saturated the gloom looming over the palace.I thought it was time Celeste socialised with the other kids of the nobles and made friends of her age, so I invited them to the party, but I think I was wrong about it all. Maybe I should have given Celeste more time.After a lot of coaxing from mother and aunt Lozbi, Celeste was ready to attend the party, yet she clearly looked upset.Celeste entered the party hall dressed as a boy. That was enough to create a seve
Rejected to be His Luna 252. My biggest fear (18+)
[Zeve’s POV]There was forever in those portraits, and the love Amor had poured into them was glittering brighter than the paint.All my nude portraits had a translucent robe covering my body, although it barely hid anything. In one portrait, I was lying on my stomach on a messy bed with my head propped on my hand. Another had me posing on a sofa with my legs drawn to my chest.Another had me lying on the bed in a red dress that had slid down from my chest to my waist. My one hand covered my breasts while the other was tucked between my legs.One had me completely naked against the wall with my hands slithered over one another as if someone had pinned my hands over my head against the wall. All my portraits had me in messy hair stuck all over my body with my white strands fluttering gracefully.I was awestruck by how realistic those portraits looked. It was as if I was seeing the perfect version of myself in a mirror.I am so pretty, I thought, gaping at my portraits.I didn’t know
Rejected to be His Luna 253. Evil in Arginieth
[Zeve’s POV]“... that’s how LKS was formed, luna. The only wing of the army that is created for female werewolves. From the time this was announced, we have got thousands of applicants from all over Arginieth. All the five members who got trained by sensei Hikari have designed a training regime for the recruits, which included the balanced combination of the Kazumi skills and normal combat with swords and rifles.” Lexi said, brushing my hair.“I understand. But Lexi, shouldn’t you be at the LKS headquarters? Why are you serving as my maid again? You have a greater responsibility,” I said.Lexi smiled at me through the reflection of the mirror, “you are right, luna, but serving you is my foremost duty. The same is for Vance and the others. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have even thought of reaching where I am today. Above all, alpha wanted everything like it was before you left, so I can’t really go against his will.”She looked more excited than before. Lucy and the other maids lo
Rejected to be His Luna 254. The key core
[Zeve’s POV]Ian was brought into the isolation chamber attached to the courtroom where I read his memories. The memories he had of the time at the party were completely messed up. They were anything but normal memories. I could easily tell that there was an outer interference with his thoughts during that time.I checked Vin’s and Liam’s memories too and found the same pattern of external interference with their thoughts, but that didn’t mean everything they did was because of complete external interference. The external energy influenced them only after the thought of bullying Celeste originated in their minds.Knights took the three outside the room. Amor and I were the only ones in the room.“So, how was it?” Amor asked. “It was Derek. There was an external influence on their minds that catalysed the process of turning their thoughts into action. But the three of them thought of hurting Celeste first, then there was the external factor that turned those thoughts into this whole s
Rejected to be His Luna 255. Depression is miracle
[Zeve’s POV]After the tea party, I went back to the training grounds where Hecate was still with Killian. They were just sitting on a wooden bench with a towel around each of their necks.“Celeste,” I called out. She looked back and then got up, and so did Killian.“Lady Zeve,” Hecate said. “Pardon me. It’s Luna now, I suppose.” I smiled, “are you Celeste or Hecate?” I asked.“Hecate, your highness. Celeste needs some time,” Hecate said nervously.“Were you practising with Killian?” I asked, looking at Killian. He lowered his gaze and nodded once.“I will take my leave now, luna,” Killian said.“No. No need. You can stay here,” I said with a smile. “Since you are her friend, I think you know her much better than I do. So, please stay. She will be at ease if you do, isn’t it, Hecate?” I asked.“Uh, yeah. I think it would be better with you here,” she said, looking at Killian.“If that’s what you and luna want,” Killian said. He wiped off the bench with his towel. “Please sit, luna.”
Rejected to be His Luna 256. His beautiful lie
[Zeve’s POV]I turned around and Hikari was standing holding the umbrella.“You returned,” he said, and I affirmed with a smile.“I guess I did,” I said with a shrug. “You were nearby?”Hikari looked towards the forests that led to Mayu’s grave, and I needed no more words to understand what he was doing there.In snow, in rain, in every season, he promised he would always stay by Mayu’s side.“I think I came at the wrong time…”Hikari’s eyes, that always carried an unknown longing, didn’t have that painful sadness anymore as he peered at me with warm eyes.“I am happy to see you again,” he said in a deep voice with a smile.He had put the umbrella over me while drenching in the rain himself.Hikari was still unreadable, his aura, his eyes. But by then I had understood one thing: that there was a limit to how long one could hold on to anything — be it love or longing.Eventually, everyone had to move on and continue with their lives. That was exactly what Hikari wanted to do, but could

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
Rejected to be His Luna 288. Eternal curse
[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
Rejected to be His Luna 283. Light and Hope
[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
