Rejected to be His Luna 43. Save the kid
[Zeve’s POV] “What’s wrong with you now?” Amor asked. “Get in.” My head was heavy, as if the air above me had grown a thousand times heavier. Giggles. Screams. Cries. Sobs. Laughter. Screeches. Everything hit me all at once, making it difficult to even understand what Amor was saying or why he looked angry. Darkness flashed in front of my eyes. “Allarya! Don’t go there, you will fall…” “You can’t fly yet…” “Oh my goodness, she inherited the word sorcery. Maa. Papa. Come here… look at her…” “Little enchantress! Little Allarya. You can’t go beyond the boundaries at night. Let’s go back…” It was a man’s voice, but whose? I couldn’t recognize any of those voices. “Papa! Maa!” someone was shouting frantically. “Take Allarya to safety! Go!” Was there an attack? “Little Enchantress needs to be saved at all costs. Please run, my queen. Save our future… the divination can’t be wrong… run, my queen, run!” What is divination? Is it the voice of the king? And… who is Allarya? “Zeve!
Rejected to be His Luna 44. Deception
[Zeve’s POV] “Amor!” I yelled. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Those chains swam like snakes into thin air and clutched Amor in themselves. Mayavi glared at me without saying a word. I kept peering at her, trying to decipher her gaze. “Who are you?” She asked. Venus stood in front of me, “s-she is his p-partner. B-but you don’t need her, right? Please let her go.” Mayavi landed a disgusted look on Venus. “Filthy blood. How dare you open your—” “Please forgive us, Mayavi.” Zahir stood in front of Venus, who had their son in her arms. “Oh, hello!” Amor said, gaining everyone’s attention at the same time. “Will someone tell me why am I hovering in the middle of air with these creepy chains wrapped around my limbs?” He moved his body, the chains jingled, tightening themselves even more around his body. He groaned, wincing as the chain around his chest tightened to the point it could break his ribs. “Amor!” I didn’t know why or how, but my body sprinted towards him on its own. I was
Rejected to be His Luna 45. Vampire crown prince
[Zeve’s POV] “Zeve! Run!” Amor yelled impatiently. I looked back. The sharpness of the swords reflected in my eyes as two black-robed men raised their swords, aiming at me. Fear combined with numbness paralysed my body. That fear was different that the fear of dying. It was — fear of dying a useless death when there were people who had actual reasons to live other than living itself. Fear of failing people when they needed me the most. Fear of falling so low in my own eyes from where I couldn’t get up. Never. Fear of wanting to help but being helpless. I wanted to run, but my body wouldn’t move. I froze in my place, waiting for the sword to slash my skin. I heard a loud growl that soon transitioned into a deafening howl louder than the atrocious noises in the hall. Something faster than light swept from behind me, slamming the men attacking me on the wall. The same ripped off the necks of the men attacking Zahir and all other men in a blink of an eye. It lunged at Mayavi, bu
Rejected to be His Luna 46. Blood & lust
[Zeve’s POV] I stepped back, peering at him. My lips dried as my heart skidded in my chest. Right. He was dressed royally in a silver and black hussar jacket, black pants and silver aiguillettes. His night-like hair was coifed back. He had a body and stature that of the gods. His red eyes were bright red like a deep ocean of blood. His pale skin matched with his sharp looks, made him look like some fictional portrait of ancient emperors. Damn it! “I-I am so-sorry. I-I was looking for help. My friends… they are…” I felt ice wrap around my arm and the next second he pinned me against the door of the door of the mansion. I covered the baby in my arms, hugging him tightly as I brought my shoulders closer to my neck. I made a blunder. I shouldn’t have come here. I am definitely going to die today. “Why did you think a vampire would help a feeble werewolf like you rather than devouring you right away? Is this baby yours?” He caged me and the baby between his arms and the wall. His on
Rejected to be His Luna 47. Who is he to me?
[Zeve’s POV] The person who always reached me before the danger reached me because he was the greatest danger in my life. It was Amor, of course. Who else? But the crown prince’s question made me wonder who exactly was Amor to me? Killer of my mate? An alpha forcing me to be his luna? The person who pushed me to the edge where I wanted to end my life. Or just Amor Blaze, who mysteriously shattered my anxiety in his embrace, every single time. Who pretended to be cold as ice, but his small gestures were warmer than any words or promises. The one who granted me freedom and didn’t stop me from laughing or being me. His only condition was that I stayed by his side. I couldn’t even decide if he was good to me or bad? On one hand, he maintained all the limits and on the other hand crossed them all. For a second, he would be kind and the other a stone with no emotions. He would let no one hurt me, but would end up hurting me himself. Then he would eat the cold food himself and always m
Rejected to be His Luna 48. Fear of the future
[Zeve’s POV] Amor emerged, tearing through the darkness of the forest. Tears misted my eyes as I got on my feet and dashed to him, not even realising how happy I was to see him and how heartedly I was smiling. “Amor! I-I was looking for you…” I had never been that excited to see him before. Never been that glad he was alive and safe. It was dark. Despite that, I could see the bloodstains all over his body and clothes. “Amor… t-this… blood… are you ok? And Venus and Zahir…” “Shut up.” His glare and low grunt silenced me at once. I dropped my gaze to the dry fallen leaves on the ground. “A-are you mad at me? I know you must be. I was scared. And this kid… I ran away… I didn’t know what to do…” “Just shut up…” he said, annoyingly. “Follow me and not a single word from your mouth.” He strutted back into the darkness. He had a sword in his hand. He was looking for me, even when he himself was hurt that badly. I followed him quietly. Why is he angry now? Did he see me with the crown
Rejected to be His Luna 49. Torn petals
[Zeve’s POV] “Nothing, that’s a political matter. But how is it even possible, Zeve? How can someone control non-living things like that?” I was shocked too, but not from the fact of magic actually existing. But from the fact that it existed in someone else, too. Strange things had happened all around me ever since I was a kid. And that was the main reason people didn’t come near me. But what scared me more was — what would Amor do if he came to know that magic was all around me as well? Even though it was not as obvious as Mayavi’s, yet it happened several times when my emotions went out of control. Like burning that dress in the royal inn, then Amor’s sword swimming in my hand in that lake and then me teleporting on the rooftop when I jumped from it. He seemed to have not noticed those events, and I was grateful. There were so many questions, emotions, feeling all surging like a tsunami within me, but the person standing in front of me was falling apart because of his failure a
Rejected to be His Luna 50. Worried about you
[Zeve’s POV] But before leaving… “Excuse me,” I asked a lady who was churning the medicines in mortar and pestle. “Is there some medicine for deep bite wounds and bruises?” “For Alpha, right?” She asked, and I nodded once. She removed the leaf from the yellow ointment stored in a wooden bowl. She gave it to me. Maybe they had already prepared the medicine for Amor, but no one could actually muster the courage to tell him that. From a political point of view, Amor’s life was much more important than Venus and Zahir. But from Amor’s point of view, their lives were more important than his own. But the truth couldn’t change. Amor’s life was the most important for the werewolf kind because he was the only alpha in history who could create a monolithic pack. When he said he believed he could change the world, I understood he was trying to do something that could actually change the world. The proves were all his achievements in such a short period. “Thank you,” I said with a slight b

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
