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

[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

[Zeve’s POV]In a blink, Hikari got up and punched Amor across his face. Amor stumbled back.“I have had enough of this shit now…” he growled. He lunged at Amor to punch him again when I teleported in between Amor and him.Hikari widened his eyes, his brows forming a deep furrow. I shut my eyes, expecting his punch to hit me. With that speed, even if Hikari wanted to, he wouldn’t be able to stop his attack on time.I felt his fist gush past my ear with the sound of a strike. I felt my back press against Amor’s chest. I opened my eyes just to see Hikari’s fisted hand hold Amor’s shoulder and Amor’s hand over Hikari’s chest to keep him from colliding with me.Hikari’s face was inches away from mine as he peered into my eyes, wearing a shocked expression on his face. The next second, I felt Amor’s hand wrap around my waist and Hikari hold my arms.“Zeve! Are you out of your mind?”“Zeve! Are you out of your mind?” Both of them growled at the same time. I looked over my shoulders at A
Rejected to be His Luna 270. Premonition or prophecy
[Amor’s POV]I don’t fucking know what the hell happened to him, but he was doing the same again. He was the exact Hikari who almost destroyed the entire pack after Mayu’s death. Not even a cent percent different.I thought over all these years he would understand and eventually move on, but no, he was still the same — no — he was worseHe demanded me to hand over all my shadows and rogues to him. His demands didn’t stop there this time… “Well… if you won’t hand them over to me, I will conquer them,” Hikari said.I frowned. “How the hell will you do that?”“I will become the alpha of the Aurora pack,” he said, and I let out a smirk. “There is no point in asking for justice from you. When I annex your throne and crown — your pack, your rogues… and your luna… will all be mine.”My knuckles cracked when I curled my fingers into fists.“Yes, I want Zeve, Amor. As much as I want my revenge. You asked me once if I liked her and I said I don’t know… but now I know… it’s not just like or lu

[Zeve’s POV]Somewhere or the other, I sensed Derek’s involvement in whatever was going on. Even if Hikari denied it was Derek’s doing, I knew he ignited this fire. I wasn’t overestimating Derek; I was just making sure to not underestimate him.Amor’s hands were tied. If Hikari rebelled, as the alpha of the pack, he would step on the battlefield to protect his pack, his crown, and me. Hikari wanted to make me his luna by taking Amor’s place in the pack. At a certain point I even blamed myself for what was happening, but then Ria talked me through that phase. But over all, if we see, Hikari was taking all the decisions emotionally. His love for Mayu was propelling him towards his revenge that he could get only by massacring all the rogues in the Aurora pack and destroying Zahir completely. Meanwhile, his love for me was strengthening his advancement towards the alpha’s throne.Hikari’s emotions were definitely being manipulated. And manipulation did not always need dark mana to work.
Rejected to be His Luna 272. Over the railing
[Amor’s POV]A week went by without much happening. The riots breaking all around the world were at a standstill ever since Venus entered the Aura palace. It confirmed our suspicion that Derek was indeed in the palace and somehow Venus’ presence had stopped him.Or maybe it was just the silence before the actual storm hit us. Derek, Hikari and Zahir. I wondered who among them was the real threat. Derek was after drowning this world in perpetual darkness and sorrow. Hikari was seeking justice and revenge for Mayu’s death, which was Zahir’s doing, a person he trusted throughout his life. No, Hikari gave his whole life to Zahir’s cause just to be betrayed by him in the end. His rage was completely valid, but the way he wanted to avenge Mayu was wrong.But again, Hikari’s motives weren’t just massacring the rogues. He was seeking my luna and my throne as well.Zahir’s motives were to stop Derek and protect this world. But why did he kill Mayu? To keep Hikari away from attachments? Then h
Rejected to be His Luna 273. A dark utopia
[Unknown POV]Darkness is an element, and it forges only a handful of souls.There are souls made up of light, and souls made up of a mixture of light and dark, good and evil. There are abundant of them in this world.Where there is light, there will be shadows, but shadows are everywhere. There is nothing in this world that doesn’t have a shadow. Technically speaking, this world exists in darkness. Light is just an imagination created by God to play chess with millions of pawns.People say whenever you are lost, seek the light. Light at the end of the tunnel, but I have a different approach to this. When you are lost, seek darkness. Stop at the entrance of the tunnel and drown yourself in the abyss dark and deep — silent and sweet.Light is the cause of all evil in this world.Light was the cause of all the pain in my world. Just imagine a world of pure darkness where colour doesn’t matter and faces — fake or real — remain hidden.Where darkness is respected and worshipped, where lig
Rejected to be His Luna 274. Madness
[Killian’s POV]It was funny how she thought those playing spells for toddlers could cage me.But in this game of hide and seek, she sought me and made me reveal myself even when I didn’t plan this revelation so early, I could at least give her the false satisfaction of winning this time.“You caught me, so what now? Are you gonna kill me?” I asked, tilting my head to my side. “Honestly, death would be a mercy for you,” she said, maintaining that cold stare while she had that faint, daunting smile.Ok, accepted. I was slightly, with a measure of a rice grain, scared when these ultimas were angry.Because their anger was never in their bloodshot eyes, it was in their smile.“What are you gonna do then? Play cards with me, drink tea and have a nice time?” I shrugged, crossing my hands over my chest, leisurely sitting on the ground folding my legs within that light rod cage. “Nice idea. Let’s have some tea.” She hadn’t blinked ever since she saw me. Ok, she was getting scary to the siz

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
