Rejected to be His Luna 119. The family dinner
[Zeve’s POV] After a warm bath, both of us retired on the bed. I was too tired to think about anything else. We slept the whole day and when I woke up, Amor was gone. A maid informed me about the family dinner that was compulsory for me to attend with Amor. Amor was taking care of the work that he postponed because of me the previous day. I wanted to treasure all those precious memories with him for the time we wouldn’t be together, so I planned to write a diary again once I reached Arginieth. I dressed up with the help of maids. Since it was a family dinner, I had to wear clothes and jewellery according to my rank. The sky blue and white gown was furry, high neck and full-sleeved. I draped a white shawl around my shoulders. Amor rushed in as soon as I was ready and with the help of several butlers he got ready too. His workload had increased because of me and I felt so bad. Only if he didn’t postpone his work yesterday, he wouldn’t have to rush like that. “Are you ready?”
Rejected to be His Luna 120. Amor, stop!
[Zeve’s POV] Amor glared at her and she smiled back at him victoriously as if she was successful in gaining his attention. Amor rolled his eyes and looked away from her. He looked disgusted and honestly I was too. I smiled at Hazel, as genuinely fake as I could muster. “That’s right, princess. The richness of your culture is unparalleled. I hope I can learn more about your culture as it adds more value to my life.” Hazel smiled at me, but the glare in her eyes wasn’t hidden. “Whatever be the case…” Amor said, looking at me. “No food can compare to the food my wife makes.” I felt like an entire building crashed on me. Where did that come from now? Why did that come now? I would literally get on the bad side of the head maid and other low ranks, which was the last thing that I wanted. I didn’t care what high rankers thought of me, but I had to get low rankers on my side. I had to start with the maids because honestly, for my survival plan; I didn’t need people who stood out.
Rejected to be His Luna 121. Hikari's challenge
[Zeve’s POV] Aunt Helene. I hadn’t interacted much with her. Mother said she spoke little and hated anything that was against royal etiquettes and elegance. Her black hair and crimson eyes gave her a beauty equal to vampires, but it was her tanned skin that differentiated between them. She had a daughter, Ava, nineteen, and a son, Aibek, twenty-five. Both of them took after aunt Helene. Red eyes, but their hairs were silver. Her husband had silver hair and black eyes. They were all a piece of art straight out of the fantasy books. Elegant, talented and shining like jewels. Just by looking at the way they ate, I could say how well they had been brought up. My eyes met princess Ava’s. She smiled faintly, and I smiled back. I didn’t know how or what to feel about aunt Helene and her family. They seemed to be on the neutral side. Neither harmful nor helpful. They were dangerous. People who could conceal their emotions so effortlessly were definitely on my red list. Since there
Rejected to be His Luna 122. The silent order
[Zeve’s POV] Hikari pulled his Katana from its scabbard and ran his finger over the blunt edge. I looked at his Katana and then into his eyes. “What?” I cocked my eyebrow. He smirked slightly. “What I want to say is if you can snatch my Katana from me in the royal duel, I will teach five of your people my Kazumi sword skills from a to z. But if you fail, luna had to grant one of my wishes. Do you agree…” Amor clenched his jaws with a grit. The table tremored. Glass clinked. The next second, Amor grabbed Hikari’s neck, lifting him in the air. Panicking, a few maids screamed, dropping the plates in their hands. Everyone around the table came to their feet. Jade broke out in tears. I could feel the bloodlust reeking of the two of them and flooding the entire dining room. It was suffocating and pungent, like burning bones and blood. I covered my nose and mouth with my hands, stepping away from them. Morfan and the knights who stood outside the hall rushed in, but didn’t hin
Rejected to be His Luna 123. Decline the duel
[Zeve’s POV] Although it was awkward, everyone finished their share of food. What else could one expect from a royal dinner where brothers were ready to slit one another’s throat, the family was messed up worse than enemies and where alphas did not know what they should talk about and when? Amor and I got up and only then did others leave. The maids cleaned the hall and the table in pin drop silence. The knights were still positioned in the hall in case something happened after the meal. Amor was talking to Morfan, and I was with mother. Hikari was still sitting in his seat at the table, peering into nothingness. The maids behind him looked at mother. Mother nodded, and she took away Hikari’s plate. “You must be tired. You should rest, Zeve,” mother said. I nodded, “once alpha is done with his work, I will go mother. You worked hard too. You should rest.” “Are you sure?” Mother asked as she glanced at Hikari, and I nodded. Two knights were standing beside me for my protec
Rejected to be His Luna 124. Manipulating the court
[Zeve’s POV] Morfan looked at Amor. Amor gave a curt nod. “You have the permission to present your views to the court,” Morfan said. Hikari stepped forwards and said. “First, I want to clarify a few things related to the duel and its terms and conditions. Like I said before, I have no ill intentions. I proposed this duel to welcome her highness into our family. It’s not a duel to death, so except for a few cuts and scratches, neither of us should be severely hurt…” Hikari looked at me with a subtle smile, then looked at Amor. “In case his highness feels like the duel is getting deadly, he can immediately call it off and I vow to lower my Katana instantly. It’s a game where all luna needs to do to win is get my Katana from my hand and the same goes for me.” He chuckled, looking at his Katana. “If I were to attack, I know I would hurt our fragile luna, so I will attack to defend myself. This pack had been deprived of mother’s love for years now. I am sure it’s time we experience
Rejected to be His Luna 125. Hikari's wish for duel
[Zeve’s POV] The tensed scowl on Amor’s face clearly showed how displeased he was about what I said. Morfan reciprocated his alpha’s expressions. I knew he hadn’t given me the permission to make decisions on my own, but everything would go down the drain before something could even start. Convincing Amor would be a formidable task, but I had to do it, anyway. “What is this?” “What does this mean?” “Did she mean to say she accepted the duel with prince Hikari?” “Silence!” Amor said, and the buzzing immediately stopped in the hall. His wrath poured into his deep voice and darkening eyes. “I will request the luna to say what you want in simple words.” Amor said in a tone that I had never heard him use it with me. Right, my friend Amor wasn’t talking to me. It was Alpha Amor. “Regardfully, I accept the duel request of Prince Hikari. But I think I will need some time to prepare for the duel so that I am not defeated in just one slash,” I said. Amor stared at me with cold eyes.
Rejected to be His Luna 126. Convincing him
[Zeve’s POV] He held my shoulders as we parted from the hug. “Hit you?” He took a few seconds to process what I said. He licked his lips and gave the most awkwardly baffled look. “Why would I hit my luna? My wife? Why would I even think of such a horrendous thing? I take pride in calling myself a man. Why would I do something so unmanly?” Amor ran his fingers through his hair. “Forget about being a man. Even devils respect the feminine power. We are mere mortals. Real men protect their women from monsters. They don’t become one for her.” I dropped my gaze to the floor, holding back the flood in my eyes. “Why did you think that I’d hit you? Did I unconsciously do something to make you feel that way? Were actions not right? Please tell me, I’ll correct myself.” I licked my lips and shook my head, “no… you didn’t. It’s just… in my head.” I forced a smile, barely holding my tears. “Has today’s stress taken a toll on you? Should I call Lucella? Did your mind go for a jog? Do you
