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
Rejected to be His Luna 262. No coincidences
[Zeve’s POV] I returned to the Aura palace. Amor wasn’t in our room. So I asked Lexi where he was and she told me he was in the torture cells in the dungeons. I took a bath, where I talked a little more about what had happened while I was gone. Lexi informed me about the riots that had broken out in various parts of the pack. Amor had been enforcing law to maintain peace and also using army and force to neutralise the violent elements in the population. Amor hadn’t returned since the time I left the palace. He asked Lexi through a mind-link about me and she told him where I was, but after that, Amor hadn’t contacted her again. I could understand how busy he would have been. The situation was indeed concerning. How did riots break out? Could they be related to the civil disputes Amor was talking about earlier? I thought. “Alpha had recently got his hands on the people who are suspected to be the initiators of the riots. He is questioning them himself,” Lexi informed. “Is LKS loo
Rejected to be His Luna 263. Mood swings
[Amor’s POV]I wiped the blood off my hands in my white handkerchief. The only thing I abhorred about torturing was blood splattering with no sense of direction. I didn’t want Zeve to see me like that, although she had already seen me slaughter her entire pack, but the torture differed from killing people. Torture was killing their hopes, which was far worse than killing itself. But then again, she could easily read my memories. I sighed. There was nothing I could do about my dark side. It was what it was, and I knew my wife would accept it and love my dark sides like she loved my bright side. She would, right? Or maybe not. I sighed. I shouldn’t expect too much.I entered our room and Zeve was sitting near the window, peering outside as her elbow rested on the table.I stayed near the door, not wanting to go near her stained in their filthy blood. I took off my tunic.Zeve turned and looked at me. She got up from the chair as her gaze travelled over my clothes and body that was sta
Rejected to be His Luna 264. The battle's begun
[Zeve’s POV] I walked over the fallen walls of the public library and picked up a book that was buried under the debris. I dusted off the dust just to see the book cover stained with blood and the pages half burnt. As far as my eyes could go in that area, all I could see were demolished houses, fallen walls, burnt trees, dug up roads and a heavy haunting silence blanketing the riot affected area. I couldn’t stop the fear from clenching my chest even when I was surrounded by heavy military forces and, above all, Amor himself was standing beside me. Amor said we would visit an area that was affected less badly. If that was less bad than I wondered what would be the condition of the badly affected areas. Trent and my knights were keeping a watch around us at all times. Yet… even after all that security, I felt vulnerable and defeated as the memories of the people being slaughtered and sheer demonic violence rushed into my head as I leafed through the burnt pages of that book. The bo
Rejected to be His Luna 265. I will fight!
[Zeve’s POV]‘Aria. The time has come. Get ready,’ I mind-linked Aria. Vaayu always knew where I was. He would easily bring her to me.How many are there? Hundred? No, there are more than a hundred ultimas. One ultima was strong enough to take down twenty normal alpha werewolves. It won’t just be a battle against them. It will be a… war.They were definitely dead. The powerful stench of death and doom war erupted from their army, darker than the gloom over any graveyard. I could sense it even from the sky. But even if they were dead, I mustn’t forget what they could do. My grandfather and grandmother and half of the ultima population were wiped off because of them and now the army of the dead was in front of me.Amor and others were far away from the army of dead ultimas but not for too long. I expected to face them one day. I knew they would be the first major attack from Derek now that I had taken away the vampire’s support from his side.I had to ensure Amor’s safety before the war
Rejected to be His Luna 266. Father-in-law
[Amor’s POV]Even though I stood far away from Zeve, I could see her every move using Rian’s vision. She looked distracted and I don’t blame her. She had a lot going on in her head with the pressure of doing all of that on her own.I stopped Aria before she entered the playground that had now become a battlefield. She told me what Zeve had planned all along. Zeve already knew that one day she would face the ultimas army.But she didn’t want to fight them. She just wanted to sever the strings of all these marionettes and let them rest in peace forever. That was the best thing she could do for her fallen people.I understood that battle wasn’t my battle; it was Zeve’s. Only she had the right to make her people rest in peace. So, I backed off. Because it was an emotional war for her. But I knew she would need me soon and maybe even she knew that.She was seeing her kind in front of her. They were dead, yet moving around as if they were alive. She had the power to bring them back to life
Rejected to be His Luna 267. Soul's cold warmth
[Amor’s POV]I woke up to a charcoal-like sulphurous scent. My head hurt when I opened my eyes to the mass cremation of all the skeletonised bodies of the ultimas.Fire was spread all over the ground. Among the raging flames that lit the entire city stood her pensive silhouette. I was sitting with my back and head resting against the lower trunk of a tree.A few steps behind Zeve’s silhouette were silhouettes of Lexi, Morfan, Vance, Aria, and the members of LKS. It filled my heart with solace to see them standing beside their luna, sharing the most important and painful moment of her life.I wondered if any of them except Morfan knew the details about the ultimas and their tragic death. But still they stood beside her, mourning for her kind. They held their heads low because she held her head low. They were sad because she was hurting. They had tears in their eyes because she did.I smiled, feeling the warmth of those flames reach me even though I was far away from it.My wife has fin
Rejected to be His Luna 268. A huge step
[Zeve’s POV]‘Burn us. That is the only way,’ father’s soul had appeared in front of me on the battlefield as I held Trent’s body in my lap. Life fleeted from his body like his breaking breaths. “Luna, it’s my honour to have served you and to die for you. Thank you for everything you have done for me.” Trent’s voice faltered and my heart tightened in my chest. The ultimas had risen again. Their heads hung limp from their bodies as Derek forced their bodies to move.“How low… how low are you going to steep!” I yelled. “DEREK!”I used my mama threads to bind all the skeletonised ultimas in their places and commanded the knights and everyone else to leave the battlefield. Vance took Trent’s body with him. “You will pay… you will pay for all this… I will make you pay, you bastard!” Father’s soul smiled at me. ‘Calm down, daughter. Always keep a calm mind. No matter what life throws at you, stay still, think, and then rage. Keep your mind in the eye of hurricane-like life and let your

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

[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

[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
