Rejected to be His Luna 75. Lucella's outburst
[Zeve’s POV] I teleported us back into Amor’s room, on his bed, in the royal inn almost an hour before Lucella and Morfan returned. I dried his body with a towel and changed him into his bathrobe. Even though he was the alpha of the great Aurora pack, I noticed he reused several of his clothes. Chaz never wore the same cloth a second time because clothes were not just clothes they spoke much more about the status of the person, their rank, their value in royal society. But Amor had been using the same bathrobe for as long as I knew him. Black silk with cloud patterns in grey at the hem and end of sleeves. Maybe it was because from the time I met him, he had never been at any extravagant event. Except for the time when he was in the palace, he wore royal and expensive clothes, but that too was repeated on other days. I am sure he didn’t lack money or resources for him to have a new cloth every time he blinked, so why did he wear the same clothes several times? I sat by his sid
Rejected to be His Luna 76. I need to stop
[Zeve’s POV] I was naked with Amor in the Healer Stagnum again. But this time, I tried so hard to not feel anything because of that proximity, but was there a way to stop my heart from pounding? Was there a way to stop the bolts of currents from rushing throughout my body when our bare bodies united? Was there a way to stop my stomach from tightening and clenching, with heat rushing between my legs? If there was a way to stop feeling everything I was feeling for him… I would have mastered that already. Because I needed that art of hiding my heart, my heat, my attraction that was pulling me slowly but surely towards him. Sometimes by inches and sometimes by miles. That pull was irresistible and painful to repel. But I knew I had to stop soon before it was too late for me to return with an intact heart. Lucella’s word reminded me of my authentic place, which was nowhere in this world… especially not near Amor. Dreams were for dominants and not the doomed. I had started buildin
Rejected to be His Luna 77. Where were you?
[Zeve’s POV] Scared, I sat on the bed. Before I could turn to look at the door… “Isolation!” My heart skipped a beat at Amor’s growl. I snapped my head in his direction. His darkened eyes bore into me. I clenched the blanket into my fists as my breath hitched. The maids left at once, lowering their heads. He stumbled and shut the door, locking it from inside. “A-Amor?” I was happy to see him back on his feet again. But my mouth dried up because of the dark aura looming around him. I felt like a prey waiting to be hunted under his scrutiny. Does he remember everything from the pool? Is he mad at me? I know how much he hated accepting others’ help? Is he mad I saved him? Nervousness pulsated in my veins as I peered at him with my flickering gaze. He didn’t say a word and trudged to me. I swiftly got down from the bed. He stepped closer while I stepped back from him. He grabbed my arm and yanked me closer. My breasts pressed against his chest as I yelped. “Ahh!” Did I do som
Rejected to be His Luna 78. You can't shift
[Zeve’s POV] “Amor!” I held on to him. “Does it hurt? Where?” I helped him lie down on the bed. Panicking, I called a maid and asked her to call Lucella. Lucella stormed into my room. “I told you not to move. Just because your mind has started working doesn’t mean your body is ready to handle the strain too. Why even bother for someone who doesn’t even care?” Lucella’s sharp words cut through me, and I lowered my bleary gaze. She made Amor lie on his stomach and examined his spine. The wound where the poison was injected was still there. Half healed, it looked like a star-shaped bruise. Why hadn’t that healed? I should take him to the healer pool once again, but I don’t think it is possible after he regained consciousness. ‘Why even bother for someone who doesn’t even care?’ Lucella’s words echoed in my head and I couldn’t help the fisting pain building in my chest. That was the problem. Even if I didn’t want to… I cared. “What’s up with your tone?” Amor’s voice came out as
Rejected to be His Luna 79. You are special
[Zeve’s POV] I woke up to Amor sleeping at one hand’s distance from me. How long did I sleep? I had seen him sleep several times, but never from that close. His effortless breaths, his intoxicating scent, brushed past my cheeks, making my heart pound. Heat built in my stomach, setting butterflies free. I reached out to touch his eyelashes, but stopped. What the hell am I doing and why? Keep sleeping, Amor. Just don’t wake up. Drinking his features through my eyes, I smiled unreasonably. I know how cold you are to love, but I want to see you fall in love. I want to witness the Amor Blaze immersed in love and affection. Will you smile when you wake up beside your better-half? Give your love morning kisses. Or maybe make love to them. Do you have some sexual fantasies? I guess not. You might not hesitate in killing, but you sure are a monk in these matters. I chuckled. Such thoughts strolled through my head while my eyes were busy contemplating him sleeping with his head re
Rejected to be His Luna 80. Marriage contract
[Zeve’s POV] Because I am special? “What do you mean by that?” I looked at him, demanding him to elaborate, but he didn’t. It reminded me he had called me special before too, several times. What does he mean by that special? Does it mean I am special to him? No, never in a light year. In what sense did he mean I was special? I knew he would not explain it to me. If he had to, he would have already done it. “Amor, one more question… when you said you hated me because I looked like lady Dawn. You weren’t lying, right?” “Not at all, but trust me, I never hated you because you looked like someone. I was just irritated by how much you resembled that woman. That outburst was something I still regret and trust me, I had no intentions of ripping your clothes or hurting you. But I was so confused, irritated and frustrated that it all came out on you. I have apologised before too and I will apologise again. Please forgive me Zeve, my actions were condemnable.” “I forgive you,” I said,
Rejected to be His Luna 81. Signing the contract
[Zeve’s POV] Hearing he was already preparing for the heir created a strangling suffocation inside of me. I don’t know why my heart hurt just at the thought of him being with some other woman. Of course, he had a life before meeting me. No wonder he has someone he loves, and here I was thinking Amor couldn’t love someone ever. What a ridiculous thought! “Preparing your heir? Does that mean you are married secretly? I-Is she your mate or secret lover? I mean, do you have someone you love? Since it’s business between us, it’d be great if we are as transparent as we can… to each other…” I said, hesitantly. “Wait, what?” Amor tensed his brows. Morfan had a faint smirk on his face, making me even uncomfortable. Was it true then? “Where is all this coming from, Zeve? A secret marriage? A secret lover?” He chuckled in his dark tone. “Do you think with my rank it is possible to have a secret marriage or a lover or a mate without public knowledge?” Nibbling my lower lip, I lifted my g
Rejected to be His Luna 82. Polaris' truth
[Zeve’s POV] A week passed since that day I contracted my fate with him. Amor was slowly recovering from his wounds. Thanks to Lucella, he was gradually getting back to his normal self. He could walk around for a maximum of five hours, but after that, his spinal pain would kick in. Whenever that happened, he came into my room, and I understood he needed a back massage. Sometimes my heart would flutter at his angry pouts just like a kid. I wanted to pull his cheek and pat his head, but I dared not. Even though he hated taking others’ help, I was glad he could ask me without hesitation. It made me feel special knowing that he was opening up to me. That didn’t mean he wasn’t suffering internally. I was worried about his mental health because not being able to shift into one’s wolf was a big deal. Through his words, I learnt he was worried he might never shift again. If that happened, he would have to retire from his Alpha’s position, and that was something Amor wasn’t looking forw

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

[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
