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 83. Tattered ends of fate
[Zeve’s POV] I stepped back. I wasn’t able to process what I just heard. It hit like a numbing shock that corrupted all my senses. I gaped at Morfan, blankly. “Are you in your right mind? Do you know what you are saying?” Amor growled, holding Morfan’s collar. “Please trust me, Alpha. I will never lie about something like this. Yes, I hid the truth about Polaris’ death, but it was important back then. I was waiting for Zahir to tell the truth to you since he was the one who asked me to keep it a secret from the two of you.” I numbly peered at Morfan. Hoping for him to part his lips and tell that this was a lie. Amor left Morfan and held his head. He tried to blink off his tears, but still I could see the glint of tears in his eyes. “I apologise for keeping this from the two of you, but I hope you understand why Zahir asked me to do it and why I did it. Bringing back both of you in your best conditions was our priority, and it was important for our future, too.” Morfan held his
Rejected to be His Luna 84. Amor's past-1
[Zeve’s POV] Lucella still didn’t talk to me, but it seemed her anger had subsided. Her tone had become calmer, and she slowly approached me. She was worried about my health because I got motion sickness on the ship. That was my first experience of sailing on a ship and it was anything but pleasant. Lucella was gentle to the patients except Amor, who gave her a hard time. I bet she would even cure her enemy gently if he was weak and needed aid of any kind. That was the divine spirit of doctors who were called the shadow of gods. “Keep sleeping and eat lighter food, ok?” she said, and I nodded, lying on the wooden bed of the ship. From the time we set off on the premarital journey to the time we reached the Trimontum islands it took us almost three months. So many things had happened that I felt like I had lived my whole life in those three months. It took only three months to not only change my life but also me. The amount of waves that had hit the shore of my life were to
Rejected to be His Luna 85. Amor's past-2
[Zeve’s POV] “Amor or lady Ella never talk about the forest. They just say that the forest is for the strong to get stronger and for the weak to die. They spent twelve years in the Frost Forests, completely abandoned by Alpha Diell…” I peered at Amor. People were like icebergs. What they showed to the world was nothing before the depth they hid from the world. It was impossible to tell how broken someone was just by looking at them. I was lonely because I had no parents, but Amor had been all alone even after having parents. It made me wonder who was the unlucky one here. Me or him? “Amor never received his coming of age ceremony. Because Alpha Diell had decided that his kid from Dawn would become the next heir. But every time Dawn got pregnant, something or the other led to her miscarriage…” I shifted my gaze to Lucella. “People say that she was deliberately inducing those miscarriages, and this created another rumble of rumours. But her last miscarriage was the one that took
Rejected to be His Luna 86. Wanderlust
[Zeve’s POV] The picturesque snowy terrains were like a white paradise. They had the flowy wisps of snow scattering in the air like fog even at the slightest winds. The snow had blanketed the grounds in shades of grey and black, like cotton. Sometimes my eyes were on the highest peak, faintly visible on the horizon and sometimes around me, on the fir forests where the viridian leaves looked as if they were painted with pure white paint. I was so busy looking around everywhere else that I missed my footings several times, either tripping on rocks beneath the ankle-deep snow or sliding on grounds covered with ice. Amor wrapped intertwined his fingers with mine and a wave of warmth ran through my body. I was once again looking around restlessly, but this time to distract myself from what his fingers locked with mine did to my heart and soul. He didn’t ask me to stop looking around, nor did he scold me when I almost fell face-down. He just held my hand tightly as we walked and saved

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

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
