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 257. True motives
[Zeve’s POV]“An invisibility barrier… it’s ok, I respect his privacy. Could you please call him here?” I said, looking at Hikari.He nodded and using the muter ring; he told Zahir to come to the palace.“Overlord said he would be here by tomorrow. Until then, luna, please give the Kazumi pack an opportunity to serve you,” Hikari said, getting up from his seat and bowing slightly with his palm over his chest.“Yes, luna. Hikari sensei cooks some really amazing food,” Morfan said excitedly.“It would be my honour, but I do not wish to bother you…” Hikari interrupted me before I could complete. “You are never a bother and everyone in our palace has actually been waiting for this opportunity. Please accept our hospitality.” He said and this time I couldn’t say no.“It will be my honour,” I said with a slight bow. “I am in your care.”Hikari showed me to the room where I would stay. It was a room right in front of Hikari’s room. He said for security, it would be best if I stayed close to
Rejected to be His Luna 258. Attachments
[Zeve’s POV]Zahir sat quietly, peering at the table while Hikari, Morfan and I waited for Zahir’s reply.“Overlord, there must be a strong reason for doing it, right? Please tell us what it was?” Hikari said.Zahir glanced at him and then looked at me. “I fell in love,” Zahir said. “That was my reason to take luna to Mayavi. To protect my son and my wife. I knew about Alpha Amor’s strength and also I thought you might be able to use magic in a dire situation like that and help me protect Polaris and Venus. That was my reason. It was an impulsive decision, and I didn’t think it through. I just hoped things would work out.”“Oh. But it’s a little difficult for me to believe that Zahir, who was so protective of the cores for so many years, put them on the line for love that he felt for one or two years. That’s so not you. The way you trained Hikari and made him stay away from attachments doesn’t really go with this love concept you are giving me right now,” I said.“But that’s what lov
Rejected to be His Luna 259. Venus' freedom
[Zeve’s POV]Zahir widened his eyes. He looked around restlessly then said, “it’s for her safety. Once this fight against Derek is over, I will free her. But… how did you know…”“Oh, I guessed, but thanks for confirming,” I said with a smile. “But aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You have locked up your wife in a cage, taking away her freedom and existence, and you say you did all this for love? Love is not bondage, it’s freedom, Zahir.”“I know, but I have lost far too much to be strong enough to take the right path to love.”“Your definition of love has gotten twisted over all these years…”“You think I am enjoying locking her up like that? It’s excruciating to see the gaze that once had unconditional love for me, filled with hatred and hostility. But I have no other option. I have fallen in love with Venus, after all,” he said in a quavering voice.“And I can’t let Venus stay with you after knowing how you are treating her. So I am sorry, Zahir… but your love is only coming in my wa
Rejected to be His Luna 260. His unhealthy obsession
[Zeve’s POV]Zahir set the coordinates of the place in his mind and Hikari used his magic to teleport us in front of a gable house constructed in aesthetics of blackish green, black, white and golden. I looked around and there were over twenty houses identical in design, but different in colour and precincts.A thing that stood out about Zahir’s house was — golden spells beautifully and aesthetically carved all over the house in the Maziki language. That house had small windows but no doors.“How do you enter this house? It had no doors,” Morfan asked.There was a magic circle drawn on the entrance platform. We walked into the circle with Zahir and were teleported inside the house. We didn’t need to supply magic into the circle to activate it.Such magic circles were known as conscious circles. They were connected to the consciousness of the one who created them. Such magic circles were used in ancient times to watch over dangerous criminals and also to safeguard higher officials and
Rejected to be His Luna 261. Trap to freedom
[Zeve’s POV]We sat on the sofa arranged in circular fashion in the living room. Venus talked normally, as if she was happy with Zahir and that made me sick to my stomach because I knew the truth she was hiding behind that smile.I didn’t know what made me angrier — the way Zahir silenced her or her decision to remain silent. I was there, Hikari was there, and even Morfan. I knew my knowledge about magic and curses wasn’t as vast as Zahir’s, but I was confident that if the three of us worked together, we could free her.But then again, I was unsure about Hikari. The way he considered Zahir as his mentor and respected him regardless of how coldly Zahir treated him was no joke. There was a strong possibility that Hikari would take Zahir’s side.Meanwhile, my relationship with Hikari was neither too shallow nor too deep. Making either Zahir or Hikari an enemy at the moment could cost me a lot, but I couldn’t leave Venus alone either.“Venus, do you know how to get out of this house?” I
