Rejected to be His Luna 139. Struggling through
[Zeve’s POV] I lunged at them, slashing my sword. Both of them jumped above me and landed behind me. They had no weapons and were fighting with bare talons. Last time they had swords, but this time their hands were deadlier than the swords. They could tear off Arki’s hands so easily. I had to be careful with those talons. The enemy was becoming stronger while I was waiting for a miracle to happen that would make me happy. Not even realising that happiness was not something made for me. That would be something I wouldn’t search for anymore in my life. Happiness was only an illusion, not the reality. ‘Stop listening to the song. It’s manipulating you.’ “I wish I could shut my ears and stop listening while… defending myself from these jerks!” I murmured, dodging the two as they attacked together. ‘Use me!’ No. Not you. Not now. The knights are returning. I sense their scent. I need my wolf’s strength, not yours. ‘Use the Enver sword skills.’ I widened my eyes when the voice w
Rejected to be His Luna 140. Don't die
[Zeve’s POV] Panting, I gulped, staring into his stoic eyes that were fixated on me. His hair and clothes fluttered violently with the sails as he effortlessly stood on the wooden supports, completely unbothered by the chaos on the ship. I shut my eyes as another strong squall tore past me, pushing the attackers further back. Did he see me use magic? How long has he been there? Damn it! I kept resisting this power all my life and just when I used it a little, out of everyone in this universe, Hikari had to be there. I gritted my teeth. What the heck should I do now? The only way for me was to jump into the sea, but then there was that creepy, alluring siren song. I knew it was another trap, probably the real trap. “Damn it!” I groaned, gritting my teeth. I was out of breath, and those fuckers wouldn’t stop coming. More than those attackers and the attack, I was worried about Hikari’s presence. He saw me use magic. He will expose me. Everything will be repeated. T
Rejected to be His Luna 141. Warm breeze in the sea
[Zeve’s POV] Hikari’s voice completely cut off the whispers I was hearing. Maybe I was seeing things because of asphyxiation. A white dragon that felt like a warm breeze snaked around my whole body as I hovered in the sea’s depth. Hikari? I reached out my hand to him. Hikari held my wrist that floated away from my body and yanked me. My body floated to him as he blanketed his arms around my waist and pulled me to his chest. His hands slid on my back and under my knees. His warmth blanketed my cold body. He was warm, serene, like a warm blanket near a bonfire on a snowy night. Something so surreal, as if the life I had given up on was returning to me. My heavy eyelids slowly shut as Hikari’s face blurred. It felt — safe. My eyes opened to a quiet sound of water dripping on a calm water surface, like nature played a lullaby. The water was the harp, and the winds were the fingers that tenderly plucked its strings. Hikari’s kimono coat was wrapped around my body while he c
Rejected to be His Luna 142. A curse called love
[Amor’s POV] I wiped off the sweats over my lips and nose. “No. She can’t… she’s ok. She has to be…” I mumbled. Maybe she evacuated with the others. Maybe I am overthinking. Yeah. She must have reached the shore by now. Yes. But why can’t I feel her scent? Even if she was on the shore, I should get her scent… I could barely breathe when all my senses were looking for her. Her scent. Her voice. Her breaths. Her heartbeats. Anything… anything that could help me find her. That could assure me she was safe. “Zeve!” I cried out. I kept calling out to her frantically, searching for her everywhere on the ship. I even looked among the dead, but soon shook off those grim thoughts. “ZEVE!” I roared. I tried to mind-link her. It failed. My frenzied steps halted as a thought hit. “Who created the firestorm?” It was then I met Arki and the other knights. They informed me about Zeve’s orders. I almost killed them for not following my orders, but I didn’t have time to waste on t
Rejected to be His Luna 143. I can't be your luna
[Amor’s POV] Lucella checked on Zeve. She said that Zeve wasn’t in a condition to travel and we should stop by the seaside palace near the harbor. Everyone was tired and needed rest. I myself was not in a condition to carry out a journey to the capital smoothly. With Zeve still unconscious, I wasn’t feeling good about nothing at all. I knew she created the firestorm and maybe the magic took a toll on her body like any other power. On that she drowned and I don’t know what manipulating voice Hikari was talking about, but it surely contributed to Zeve’s current state. Our ship reached the shore. I ordered a royal cremation of the dead through mind-link. The royal family was already in the palace, resting. All the excitement had turned into a grim atmosphere. Everyone was recovering from the attack. We were still on the ship. I reluctantly looked around the ship matters and the report on the death of the knights, the injured, and the survivors. Once Lucella had checked on Zev
Rejected to be His Luna 144. You are my happiness
[Amor’s POV] Her words fell on me like a downpour in a flood-sick city. I was planning to tell her about what happened between me and Hikari. About the curse. But I didn’t know what to say anymore. I licked my lips — no — biting them until the corner of my lips started bleeding. “Amor… blood…” she reached out to touch my lips, but I stepped back, still biting on my lips. Should I fall on my knees and beg her to never leave me? To keep on loving me even when I wouldn’t return her love, even when I wanted to. But even if I was dying, I would never beg to be respected, loved, or needed. Everything was going back to how it was before Zeve came into my life. So be it! The reason her words were like shards of shattering glass was because I had expected too much from her, more than she could give me. It wasn’t her fault, but mine to expect anything at all. Expectations? I am Amor Blaze. I don’t expect; I get what I want. But often we expect the most from the person we expect nothi
Rejected to be His Luna 145. Deliver the food, alpha
[Amor’s POV] I took Zeve to an eatery I frequented whenever I was there. But… for very obvious reasons, Hikari was there, too. The problem wasn’t us being present in the same eatery as Hikari to eat; the problem was Zeve’s curiosity about the cuisine and chopsticks Hikari was using. There were two things Hikari absolutely hated — first, sharing food, and second, someone disturbing him during his meals. From the daunting expression he wore, when Zeve stared at him, it was sending chills down my spine. How do I control this girl when her curiosity kicks in? She becomes like a child hungry to learn about new things she was seeing, not caring about the consequences at all. Fortunately or unfortunately, Hikari was on the adjacent table as ours. I was sitting in front of Zeve and beside Hikari, with the aisle dividing our tables. Hikari picked the sushi with his chopsticks then kept it back on the plate, sighing as he leaned back in his chair, glaring into nothingness. “Zeve…” I w
Rejected to be His Luna 146. Magical butterflies
[Amor’s POV] Sensing my presence, Hikari got up. He was completely wasted. With an unstable footing, he walked past me. “Stay,” I said. He halted. His back faced me. I turned and walked closer to him, encountering a powerful stench of wine. I presented him with the food. “Luna sent this asking you to finish it. She said she doesn’t like people who waste food. She also apologised for staring at you. It was for no other reason than her curiosity about your culture and chopsticks. But if it made you uncomfortable, then she said she was sorry.” I said in a monotonous tone, constantly repeating just one sentence in my head — what the hell am I even doing! I peered at Hikari, waiting for a response. He stared at the food in my hand blankly. “Look, I know you don’t like my presence around you, but Zeve becomes scary when food is wasted. You witnessed it yourself at the family dinner. That is why I had to come.” Hikari still stood there silently. I knew it would be futile. He was th
