Rejected to be His Luna 26. Trampled roses
[Zeve’s POV] I took in a deep breath, shutting my eyes, and fell to the ground. Memories from my past came crashing on me. All overwhelming me at the same time. I cupped my palms around my mouth, but breaths wouldn’t go in. Blood rushed through my veins as if they would rush out, tearing them apart. I clenched my chest. It’s suffocating… “Zeve!” Amor rushed to me. He knelt in front of me as he held my shoulders. “Zeve! What’s wrong?” “I can’t…” I gasped, tears slithering away from my eyes without control. “... breathe.” “What?” He looked around frantically. “I am hugging you, ok?” I nodded once. He hugged me. “Calm down… it’s ok. I am here.” He caressed my hair, stroking my back. “You are breathing completely fine. It’s just a panic attack. Take a deep breath, hmm? Come on, do it with me.” We parted and looking into my eyes; he took a deep breath and so did I with him. “Keep it in. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Now release your breath through your mouth…” he said, and I exhal
Rejected to be His Luna 27. His wound
[Amor’s POV] “Let me see,” she almost yelled at me. I took my hand back. “What do you want?” I asked her vexingly. “To apply this medicine on your wound,” she said. Giving her a look, I got up from the rock and headed near the river. She followed me. “Amor, I don’t care about you.” I shut my eyes, then skimmed it from the river to her. “Then show me you don’t care about me. You can’t come with medicine in your hand for a wound in my hand and tell me you don’t care.” She gaped at me with blank eyes. Her eyelids soon became heavy with tears that she dried off, blinking. She dropped her gaze and was about to turn to leave. “Why the hell are ‘you’ crying now?” I sighed, annoyingly. “I am hurt. I should be crying. What is wrong with you? What in the world do you want? Why is it so freaking difficult to understand you? I told you I don’t need your medicine. My wound will heal on its own. I don’t like anyone touching my wounds. Do you get it?” Her lips trembled as she spoke. “I am s
Rejected to be His Luna 28. Her lie, my truth
[Amor’s POV] I hid behind a tree and observed her for some time. I would catch her right when she would try to escape. Maybe all that wishing on the flower was a facade to hide her true intentions from me. “It must hurt, right?” I heard her talk to Vaayu. “I shouldn’t have wasted time on him. He says he can’t understand me, huh? I can’t understand him. Who enjoys pain? No one in their sane mind will.” She was cleaning Vaayu’s wounds on his back, neck, legs, and knees. Vaayu neighed, moving his tail as if he was agreeing to everything she said. She squatted near the river and cleaned the cloth she used to clear Vaayu’s wounds in the running water. “I will apply the medicine to your wounds. It might burn a little, but this medicine is magical. May is a really amazing doctor. You should meet her. She speaks less, but speaks wisdom. Like Lucella, she is the ideal lady, fearless, intelligent, caring, cold, but warm at the same time. When I speak of caring and affectionate, lady Ella c
Rejected to be His Luna 29. Half Freedom
[Amor’s POV] Venus breathed in through her clenched teeth when her rose collided with someone else’s and veered from the path. Only Zeve’s rose was travelling in a straight line to the centre, isolated from all kinds of interruptions happening around it. Venus squatted near Zeve, following and cheering for her rose. “Your rose is so aloof from the others, as if it has its own intelligence and knows where it should go.” She said with amazement. There was a lotus floating in the middle of the pond. That was the destination for all the roses. I stood behind Zeve, stoically peering at the rose. I crossed my hands across my chest. My wrist was bleeding less, so I tightened my grip around it, reopening the wound. God knows why I wanted that wound to not heal. It was as if I was waiting for something to happen, but didn’t know what. The blood stained my shirt, too, but who cared? The rose race was more intriguing to watch. Several other roses headed to the lotus too, along with Zeve
Rejected to be His Luna 30. Why marry me?
[Amor’s POV] She forced a smile on her face. “I will never love again. Love can only get a true meaning from one’s mate. My mate is gone and on that rose I wished for his peaceful end and afterlife. I won’t love again. And… you think a girl’s only goal is to sleep with a man? That is the value and meaning of a woman in your eyes. But don’t you think we can have goals, too?” “Goals? What other goals can you have other than having kids, raising them, cooking for your family, keeping your husband and family happy? That is what women have been doing, and that is what they will do. What other goal can you possibly have?” I completely disagree with every statement I made, but I knew it would enrage her and that was exactly why I said those words. My plans for women and my definition of women were unfathomable, but I wanted to know what women meant in her eyes. The disgust in her eyes was clear, yet she couldn’t speak a word. “Come on, tell me what your goal is, except the ones I said.
Rejected to be His Luna 31. Her wishes
[Zeve’s POV] “What do you mean, if I am living? Of course, I am.” He said, tilting his head as he narrowed his eyes. “What is the purpose of your life? What keeps you going?” He peered into my eyes for a long time, then said with a subtle smirk, “told you right now. It’s to change this world. That’s the only goal of this life of mine.” “But how? By killing countless people. By being merciless and heartless. By violence? If that is what you are living for, then what are you living for?” “At least I have a goal, a purpose defined for my life. Right, wrong, I don’t care. Bad, good, I don’t care. Humane, inhumane, I don’t care. I am much better than a-living-nothing like you. Empty from inside like a puppet. As if you were tam…” he stopped speaking. My heart sped up as I expected hearing that word ‘tamed’ again. That word. That one word had ruined my whole life. He cleared his throat. My body turned stiff. “You are easy to manipulate.” He avoided using that word. But why? Did he
Rejected to be His Luna 32. Worried about him?
[Zeve’s POV] “Ah! Amor…” His grip on my arm tightened. I dropped my gaze, trying to push him away from me. “Please let go. Why are you suddenly like this?” I stopped struggling and my body relaxed when he left me and stepped a few steps back. Holding my arms, I looked at him, panting. More than me, he looked confused. He looked puzzled and restlessly looked into nothingness. Tensing his brows, he glared at me. “Forget about it.” I gulped. I wanted to ask him about what I should forget, but didn’t. I was still scared of him. I stepped back from him, clenching and unclenching my fists. He walked to me, and I stepped back in a hurry. He held my wrist. “No!” I yelled. He glared at me. “Please shut up. You know better than anyone else, I am neither going to hurt you nor do something unethical to you. I am not in the right state of mind right now, so please obey, ok?” What other option did I have? I nodded. He gently wrapped his palm around my wrist. I walked behind him, looking a
Rejected to be His Luna 33. The unknown melody
[Zeve’s POV] I turned around and Venus was there with her husband, Zahir. Why the hell did I hope it to be Amor? I smiled at her. “Venus.” “Everything ok? Your partner, what was his name? Chaz! He left without a word and then you ran off in a hurry too…” I averted my eyes nervously and said, “he is not my partner and his name is not Chaz. His name is Amor.” I said, avoiding eye contact with her. “Oh, I am sorry. I didn’t know.” She said in a confused tone. “I shouldn’t have pried in your personal matters,” Venus said, and I dropped my gaze to the ground. “That is why I tell you to keep your mouth shut,” Zahir whispered to her. She hit his biceps. “I thought they were a couple. Anyone would think that.” She whispered to him, then looked at me. Holding my hand in hers, she said, “I am sorry, Zeve. But what happened? Why do you look so worried? Can we help you?” “No. Everything is fine. Umm. Actually, do you know a place that is isolated and few people go there?” I asked her.
