Rejected to be His Luna 277. The broken cage
[Zeve’s POV]Killian had broken out of the cage.Vance and the knights who were guarding him were all lying unconscious on the ground. I checked Vance’s pulses. He was still breathing. They just passed out from the impact.“How was he able to break our resistance barrier? We worked so hard to create it…” Aria said, examining the broken pieces of the cage. “Simple, Aria. To break that cage, Killian had to emit dark energy beyond the resisting power of the spells we used to create that cage. I can’t even imagine the amount of dark energy he used to break this cage. No wonder we felt the tremors.”I mind-linked Lucella and asked her to send the medical help for them.“What should we do now, leader?” Aria asked.“Breaking this cage would have taken a toll on his body. He is weak right now, we can cage him again…” I said.I activated my butterflies all around the palace. Soon they found him. But…Celeste stood impassively in his way that led to Venus’ room. Maybe he wasn’t able to telepor
Rejected to be His Luna 278. Voice from the moon
[Zeve’s POV]Hikari teleported us in the sky as we hovered at some considerable height from the Aura palace.I looked at him for an explanation, “put me to my feet and explain yourself.” I ordered.Hikari’s eyes were fixed on the Aura palace. A few minutes of stark silence crept into the gloomy sky. There was a shrill, high-pitched noise, as if several beasts were howling in a distorted harmony. I shuddered, grabbing Hikari’s kimono coat and shutting my eyes tightly. Hikari shut my ear with his palm as he buried my face in his chest. The noise slowly turned fainter and fainter. “What the hell is happening here?” I asked.It was then Hikari put me to my feet, his hands still wrapped around my waist. “I can fly on my own,” I said.Hikari’s gaze met mine. “I know.”I frowned, “answer me what is…”I stopped speaking when my eyes went to the Aura palace and the sky above it.The sky cracked as if it was made of glass and its shards started showering on the palace. The places of the pala
Rejected to be His Luna 279. Still holding on
[Zeve’s POV] The full moon’s light became fainter and fainter until there was no moon in the sky. The voice said it was her last ounce of power she used to stop the dark gravity. Did that mean this world would not have moonlight anymore? The messengers of death, ravens and owls were sitting all over the ruins of the Aura palace. They mourned the death while we were looking for the remnants of the dead. Bodies had turned into dust and we could only make out that the pile of dust was once a person by the pattern it was lying on the ground as if a person had been buried under black sand. There was no skin, flesh, blood, or bone. Just dust of the dead and its daunting odour in the air. The hallways that once beamed with life, gossips and giggles had turned lifeless. We were looking for survivors even though we knew there might be none. Morfan and Hikari were looking at the conditions of places beyond the palace. Amor was walking ahead of me. Mother was walking beside me. She took e

[Zeve’s POV]Hikari and my paths collided as we looked around the palace ruins.We peered at each other, standing at some distance.The night replayed in my head when I read his memories and when he kissed me. The way he saw me wasn’t that of a friend. Now, every time our gaze met, I knew what his gaze meant when his eyes fell on me.As awkward as that whole situation was, I wanted to talk to him. Have a clear conversation.I walked towards him as he stood in the same place, seeing me approach him.He lowered his gaze and was about to pass by.“Can we talk?” I said, and he stopped and looked at me with a nod.After a long stretch of silence between us, both of us blurted out at the same time…“I am sorry.”“I am sorry.”Hikari looked at me, confused, “uh… why are you apologising, Zeve?”“For my rudeness earlier when I blamed you, even when this wasn’t your fault. I called you selfish and…”“I don’t mind. I mean, I am selfish.”I let out a nervous breath, “why did you apologise?”“Umm.
Rejected to be His Luna 281. Good news
[Zeve’s POV]“Everything I created is all gone within minutes.”He raked back his hair with his fingers, taking a deep breath. He gulped.“What do I share with you? How someone can end everything I am protecting within seconds and I am so weak that I can do nothing but watch. Trust me, I feel like if I would have turned into dust with all of them, my life would have had a worth!”I looked at him, tears filling my eyes.“A fucking alpha who couldn’t even protect his own palace, his own family. That’s what people will say. Politically, financially, emotionally in every way I am ruined today. It’s all over! Nothing’s left anymore. Nothing’s worth fighting for. You, Hikari. I feel like crap when I compare myself to the two of you. I was just trying to be something when I knew I was nothing.”Amor held his head and sat on the debris of the fallen walls. “I was trying to create a paradise and Killian was trying to create a hell. We aren’t different. His is a dark utopia and mine was a utop
Rejected to be His Luna 282. Gown and key core
[Killian’s POV]I wonder where it all began.Maybe it was that day. When mother reached out to him when Adron brought Zahir to our house for the first time. Silent and timid — that was my first impression of Zahir.He was just sitting there with us, but didn’t speak a word. So, my mother broke the wall between them. ‘Zahir, would you like to go grocery shopping with me? I will buy you sweets on the way. Derek and I go to the nearby market every evening. We stop by the park and play a little, too. We’ll be happy if you join us. You are a part of our family from today on.’Those were the exact words she said with her exquisite smile. Zahir took her hand, and that was the moment everything went wrong.What if mother hadn’t reached out for him?What if Adron never brought him to us?What if I had separated him from mother before his obsession reached that level?‘Derek, stop loitering around. Look at Zahir, he is always reading books or practising magic. Learn something from him. Why don

[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
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
