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 87. Declaration of marriage
[Zeve’s POV] Lucella and Morfan looked at the snowystal in Amor’s tunic and had an undecipherable expression on their faces. The soldiers too averted their eyes as soon as I looked at them. What does this mean now? Did I do something strange? I thought. But I couldn’t ask any of them because no one was talking. Even the horses were silent. More than the cold, that silence was bone-chilling. In an hour, we reached the stately palace built on the curves of the mountains. The horses and the soldiers went to rest in the cavalry quarters of the palace. The palace itself was a piece of art for being on a mountain like that. I couldn’t stop looking around because the palace looked like it was carved out of crystals. It made me feel I had teleported inside a fantasy novel. No matter how much I tried to concentrate, I was always distracted by something or the other. Sometimes it was the designs carved on the walls, sometimes the still life and landscape paintings, sometimes the unique
Rejected to be His Luna 88. I wanted peace
[Zeve’s POV] Amor didn’t sit beside me on the throne. I was sitting there alone while he stood beside me the whole time. I tried to avoid those glowing eyes that were burning with questions, but whenever I looked at them, I got goosebumps all over my body. “Calm down, don’t be nervous,” Amor whispered. “Easy for you to say. I am shivering with my bones right now. Why are you doing this? Why won’t you sit on the throne? I am not even your luna yet.” I looked at him. “Don’t look at me,” he said, and I shifted my gaze to the gathering that was enjoying the gentle music flowing into the room. “There are reasons you won’t understand. Just play along, ok?” “You didn’t even tell me there would be a ceremony like this when we get here,” I whispered to him with a fake smile that addressed the glaring eyes on me. He stretched out his hand in front of me. “May I have the honour of having the first dance of the ceremony with you, Princess Zeve Freedom?” “What? A dance? But I am not prepa
Rejected to be His Luna 89. Bury my love
[Zeve’s POV] “Amor didn’t tell you about the Sylvia purification ritual?” Lady Ella asked. Lady Ella came to my room early in the morning and it had been three hours since she had been preparing my room, clothes, and bath. I sat on the bed in a thin white bathing gown, and she sat beside me. “Sylvia purification ritual? What is that, your highness?” I asked her, tilting my head. She sighed. She looked angry. “I don’t even know if he is planning to honour our rituals and culture or marry you just for the sake of marrying you. I don’t understand, Zeve. Why are you still with him? When he said he would go on the premarriage journey with you, I thought maybe you would escape…” I slowly slid my hand over hers. “Your highness,” I smiled faintly. “I consent to this marriage.” She furrowed her brows. “Even after what he did to you and your pack? Even after he disrespected you in front of our entire family? How can you?” “Your highness, he didn’t mean to rip my clothes. It was an acc
Rejected to be His Luna 90. The first slip
[Zeve’s POV] “Don’t worry, Zeve. If he doesn’t come? I will get you ready. My florists are already creating the flower jewels. I know Amor should be the one doing this, but his representative can do it as well. There is no problem.” Even though she smiled, I could see disappointment and sadness in her eyes. “Mother. I am happy,” I smiled. She returned my smile. “Your highness, the holy bath is ready,” a maid said with a bow. Lady Ella held my hands and led me to the grand bathtub. There was a faint scent of lavender fuming from the hot bath. It was covered with rose and jasmine petals. I descended the stairs holding lady Ella’s hand and submerged myself in the comforting, warm and tranquil bath. The water felt different from normal water. It was as if I was in the Healer pool. “We’ll leave now, Zeve. Let your hair dry on its own, ok?” “Yes, mother.” Mother and the other maids left my room. Rethinking about the Healer pool brought back all those memories with Amor. Heat and
Rejected to be His Luna 91. Adoring her
[Zeve’s POV] “What do you mean, Amor?” I asked, holding my breath. His eyes changed instantly. “Don’t get me wrong. But what do you want us to mean in front of the world? Husband and wife, right?” He cocked an eyebrow. I let out my breath, licking my lips. I was a little confused by the sudden change in his aura. “That’s what the contract wants,” I said. “Cool. So, that means I should fulfil all our marriage rituals with all my heart to achieve that, even though it’s fake. But who decides if the fake is real or not?” I tensed my brows, peering at him. “Stop confusing me…” I murmured to myself, lowering my head. My hopes that reached sky high were crushed in less than a second. “What did you say?” He asked. “Shut up and do whatever you want. It doesn’t really matter if you perform these rituals or not. I don’t care, you don’t care…” “Woah! Woah! What’s up with that attitude now?” He frowned. The bitterness in my chest was flowing out into my words. I took a deep breath. “N

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
