Rejected to be His Luna 60. Consent for marriage
[Zeve’s POV] The winds violently fluttered my hair as I stood contemplating Amor. He squatted near one lily, caressing its petals between his thumb and index finger. I averted my eyes, taking a deep breath. Even the insignificant things he did sent butterflies in my belly. Seriously! What the hell is wrong with me? “You said it wasn’t the fault of the lily if it expected rain, but faced the drought. You said that those tears on its petals were a sign that it survived and saved its kind. Right?” He looked at me. I nodded softly. “So… what should it do to prepare for the drought? What should it do so that no more scars add to its petals?” He asked, leaving the petals of the lily. I never thought those hands that were covered in blood almost all the time could, so gently, caress the petals of a flower without hurting them. “It doesn’t need guidance, it needs resistance, adaptability, new genes and mutation to keep up with the adversities it faces or the ones that are yet to come.
Rejected to be His Luna 61. Zahir's recovery
[Zeve’s POV] He said, and I tightened my fists. “What if I don’t agree? What if I am not as worthy as you think I am?” He rubbed his nape. “Until this day, my analysis about a person has never been wrong. I am sure of each word I have said.” He said. “Why did you suddenly tell me all this?” “Because ironically, the person who hates me the most was the first person to even try to understand me.” “Because I understood your vulnerability?” I said, and his stoic face froze. He squinted his eyes and nodded. “Maybe.” “I will not,” I said with a bitter fire occupying my chest. “I am sorry, I will do nothing for you, ever. You or your pack. I will not help you with ruling. Not because of my grudge against you, but because I don’t think I will do justice to your expectations of me as the luna of your pack.” He was marrying me because he wanted me to act like the mother of his child — his pack. That was the only value I had in his eyes. But would that make me happy? Never. Yes, it woul
Rejected to be His Luna 62. Amor's greatest struggle
[Amor’s POV] Zahir was recovering fine and Lucella had allowed him to sit and walk, but only a little distance. Most of the time, he was with Venus and Polaris. Seeing them together and happy once again gave me a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction as their alpha. But problems don’t stop coming. It was the harvest season and now that everything was fine; the villagers travelled to another village. Most of them had left for the harvest, and the village had aged people and kids. But they too stayed in their houses. We had been a burden on the villagers for weeks, so I decided to not bother them anymore. I was waiting for Zahir to get back to his normal health and Morfan to reach this village, then I would send this little family off to Arginieth with Morfan and Lucella. After that, I would continue on the pre-marriage journey. But in all this, the major problem was how can I cook food without burning it? I had never cooked before. Never needed to. Now that the villagers wer
Rejected to be His Luna 63. You want kids?
[Amor’s POV] “Zeve! You are going to be my luna… if you don’t care about your reputation, it’s ok. But don’t tarnish my reputation.” I rebuked her. I can’t explain what I felt at that moment. I was angry and frustrated and I felt helpless. Even after being the alpha of such a great pack, I wasn’t able to provide my going to be a wife with daily needs on that journey. How the hell would I feed my whole pack? More than her, I was enraged by myself. “Amor,” she smiled with a tranquil stillness on her face, “food is food. Each grain of rice is food. It’s their hard work. They are sharing it with us because you are their alpha. It’s not excess for them, they are cutting their hunger to feed us. The amount of rice you burnt was the amount of rice I cut when I was preparing the food. So that it manages over all. And sharing food increases love and communication with people. It’s not eating leftovers.” I felt like crying because of the rage and guilt filling me after hearing her words.
Rejected to be His Luna 64. Flames
[Amor’s POV] The handshake lingered longer than normal, casual handshakes. My hand engulfing her fragile, soft, warm hands. Even when she tried to take her hands back, I held it tight. She lowered her gaze. Her breaths hitched as I broke our handshake by leisurely brushing my fingers with hers. I dropped my hand beside my thighs. My fingers stretched out as I felt the tingle of her warmth sprawl all over my palm. It was a strange feverish sensation burning my palm, and spreading throughout my body like a flame spread on paraffin. We blankly stared at one another for a few minutes. No one was ready to break the silence. But even that silence between us had so much to decipher and fathom. It had to mean something, be it her, just breathing with her parted plump lips or me, just staring at her blankly. It wasn’t like that in the beginning, so why does it seem now that everything between us has meant something all along? “D-don’t forget your p-promise,” she stuttered. Her chest
Rejected to be His Luna 65. Enver's betrayal
[Amor’s POV] Vampires had been after Zeve. I knew it from the very beginning. They were there when I attacked the Enver pack and they followed Zeve to the cave she hid in. Although because of my presence they didn’t dare come out of their hiding, I could smell the stinking burnt blood in the air that day, a typical vampiric scent. I was expecting them to be some shady royalties, but— “What a pleasant surprise?” Coincidentally, Kaltain and I said the same words at the same time. He brushed back his hood, revealing his disgusting smile and even more disgusting face. “And I was wondering where did the greatest alpha of all time disappear in such a short time with his new toy he stole from my dear friend, Chaz Enver? Seems like our alpha knows the art of invisibility.” He yammered. “Seems like your mother forgot to feed you her blood so you don’t know how to behave with a lady.” I said. He smirked obnoxiously, “and your mother didn’t breastfeed you enough with the divine milk for
Rejected to be His Luna 66. Vampire's pet
[Zeve’s POV] While Kaltain dragged me upstairs, I saw Amor fall on the ground face-down. Blood drained from my body. The only thought running through my head was to dash to him. Mayavi’s menacing eyes met mine, and she smirked. Lifting her brows, she waved her finger in a goodbye gesture. She did something bad to Amor. I had a terrible feeling about it. But what did she do? My mouth turned dry as my heart thundered in my chest. My steps sometimes fell on the stairs, sometimes Kaltain just dragged me, never bothering if my legs hurt or sprained. Since Amor came into my life, I had never been dragged like that. It reminded me of the times I spent in the Enver pack and all those dark memories I wanted to bury and forget about. Being dragged like that was in my daily routine. I saw Mayavi strut towards Polaris, “no! Let me go! Leave me! Don’t touch Polaris! Leave him alone!” I screaming, trying to free myself, but Kaltain’s bruising grip tightened around my wrist. “Looks like yo
Rejected to be His Luna 67. Sheer will
[Zeve’s POV] “Hahaha! Who did you call? Your kidnapper? That thief who stole you from me? Tell me, my pet. Did he touch you? Can’t blame him. No man can resist your perfect, beautiful body? But I don’t enjoy sharing what’s mine with anyone else. Ever wondered why your mate never touched you?” He chuckled, and I gulped, panting in horror. “Amor!” My voice cracked. “Amor!” I cried out. It’s scary. I am scared. Please come, Amor. Please! “Ugh!” He sighed annoyingly and rolled his eyes. “Unfortunately, the person you are calling is already dead. Please try again. Never.” “NO, HE IS NOT! HE CAN’T! HE WILL COME, HE ALWAYS DOES! AMOR!” Like he once instructed, I curled myself in the shrimp position, covering my head with my hands. Kaltain gritted his teeth, “let’s see who saves you today…” He reached out for my breeches. I shut my eyes tightly. He grabbed my knees, forcing them apart. There was a strong gush, and I felt his filthy touch disappear. I heard a loud crash followed by s

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

[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
