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

[Zeve’s POV] “Amor!” I got up and held him. “What’s wrong?” “Tsk!” He breathed through his clenched teeth. “As usual. The spine pain. I think I am on my five-hour limit again.” “I told you there was no need for all this. You even made these. Don’t tell me you collected the flowers on your own, too?” He looked at me and smiled playfully. “How do you know? Do you have spies?” “I can’t believe this. Why? Why would you?” “For the luna of my pack and for a friend.” He said, peering into my eyes. I didn’t know what to say anymore. “Lie down on the bed and rest a little. Did you take your medicine?” I helped him lie on my bed. Others didn’t know about Amor’s condition and they shouldn’t. “I will call Lucella…” I was about to leave when he held my hand. “No, I have taken my medicines. Calling Lucella is only going to create talks. Remember, eyes are always on us from now on. A quick massage could do a better job,” he shrugged, raising his brows as if he was asking me to give him a
Rejected to be His Luna 93. Hope to find love
[Zeve’s POV] The temple was majestic. Tranquil, as if even the walls had reached the highest level of salvation. Safe as if as long as I was there, even death couldn’t touch me. And though there were no torches ablaze, it was lit with a glowing white light. I stood outside the temple with Amor, adoring the monumental wonder. According to the traditions, the bride and groom reach the temple first and only once they have paid tribute to the deity of the temple, their families enter the temple. The high priestess stood in front of us in pure white robes. Her eyes were covered with a white blindfold. Her hair and eyebrows were white as snow. She looked in her forties. A white translucent veil covered her face from nose and below, but neither the blindfold nor the veil could hide the divine aura she was emitting. Her closeness felt like home. In her hand was something that looked like a silver staff with the top designed like two snakes intertwined with one another and in between the
Rejected to be His Luna 94. The only world
[Zeve’s POV] “I think you should rest and prepare yourself a little more for the marriage because it’s going to be real…” he said, licking his lower lip. “Nothing about our marriage is fake, Zeve. The vows we take, the rituals we perform, will bind us together for life. It’s just a little more twisted than normal marriages… so if you need more time to get ready…” “No. I know and I am completely prepared mentally, physically, in every manner. It was just that when I stepped—” I was about to tell him about the memories that the temple transferred to me. It was nothing new for me, but it took its toll on my body. “The temple was so grand and lit even without the torches that I was a little dizzy. That’s it! I am not stressed about marriage at all.” It was a lie. I was nervous. Wasn’t that normal, though? For once I thought he was going to call off the marriage. And now I am worried he might think I was too desperate to marry. “But…” “Let’s get married!” I sprung up from the bench.
Rejected to be His Luna 95. You will regret it, won't you?
[Zeve’s POV] We followed the priestess to the deity room to pay our tribute. The blue light radiating from the grand statue of the moon goddess welcomed us. The statue was carved out of pure white marble. Who could not recognize her? Her beauty, her elegance, her gravity, her serenity and her unmatchable divinity. But beside her was the statue of a male deity I didn’t recognize. The statue was dull, grey and had cracked all over on it. It wasn’t ugly; it was broken as if the statue was dying. Just looking at the statue made disturbing agony crawl to my throat. Even the holy light emerging from the moon goddess’ statue couldn’t remove the gloom from the statue that was right next to hers. “If you are wondering whose statue is beside the moon goddess, it’s of the sun god Solariz,” the priestess said in a sad tone. “How did this happen?” I asked, and a scary silence fell in the room. I shifted closer to Amor. He glanced at me, then at the priestess. “When natural balance in the
Rejected to be His Luna 96. Day-desiring her
[Amor’s POV] I was wearing a white and red military tunic with white breeches. The red royal mantle draped over my shoulders was secured by golden chains in the front. The marriage would be sealed in the banquet hall of the temple. The stage was prepared where the marriage rituals would be fulfilled. The priestess was making last-minute preparations with the help of her disciplines. Only family members were allowed in the temple. Men were seated in the hall in front of the stage. The ladies were all upstairs getting ready. I was sitting near the wedding stage on the golden royal sofa with Morfan beside me. “This is the twentieth time you looked at the stairs, alpha,” Morfan said. I glanced at him, then at the balustrade. Morfan sighed, “I will bring some water for you.” “No need,” I said. “I know that’s not what you need, but water will help suppress your other needs.” Morfan had started talking gibberish from the time we set foot in the Trimontum islands. He kept saying th
Rejected to be His Luna 97. Beauty and the alpha
[Amor’s POV] “Amor!” Uncle Elio brought me back to reality. “Amor Blaze knows to smile. Haha. Now I am eager to see the beauty who melted our beastly alpha.” He chuckled. I wondered if his smile was real or fake. This royal family should become actors in the theatre. How effortlessly they could change characters in a second. “I wasn’t expecting you to show up, uncle. How have you been? How’s it on the borders?” “Oh, come on now. How could I not come to such a historic event? And no talk about work on your wedding day. But since the alpha asked, things are as usual on the borders, but we have been able to hold back the vampire army. They tried to sneak in so many times that I am sick of them already. I have sent the reports of the last four months to Arginieth.” “Oh, ok. I’ll check them as soon as I reach Arginieth. These vampires are like leeches. Anyway, thank you for your hard work, uncle. If it wasn’t for my family looking around the new territories, I wouldn’t be able to cre
Rejected to be His Luna 98. Abiding order
[Amor’s POV] I didn’t even realise that I gave out an abiding order. Abiding order was a special power wielded only by the ruling alpha of a pack. This power enabled an alpha’s words to be followed by every member of that pack without explanations, conditions, and exceptions. Be it an omega or a high-ranking alpha. As soon as they heard the abiding order, they were bound to follow it. If such orders were issued through mind-link, even the werewolves who were far away from the alpha would be bound by this order. Such great power came with its restrictions too, like the ruling alpha couldn’t use it recklessly. It could be used with majority support from the Alpha Cabinet and, only in an emergency, the majority vote could be neglected. The ruling alpha couldn’t use it for personal matters. If he did, he could be stripped from his alpha position if the majority in the Alpha Cabinet and werewolf public council supported his expulsion. After using it, he needed to submit a proper expla

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

[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

[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

[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
