Rejected to be His Luna 35. Eating together
[Zeve’s POV] We reached the inn. While going upstairs, we met Zahir and Venus, who were also staying in that inn. “Oh! Are you two staying here, too?” Venus asked with a warm smile. “No, we are here for sightseeing,” Amor said mockingly. “Of course, this is an inn. Travellers come here to rest during long journeys.” Venus broke out into laughter. “You have such a great sense of humour. Of course, it was foolish of me to ask you that question. Have you two had your dinner?” She looked at us. “No,” I said. Zahir wanted to stop Venus, but she said out anyway, “why don’t all of us have dinner together? It’s difficult to find people from our culture in these foreign countries. If you two join us, it will be really amazing.” She looked at both of us with hopeful coaxing eyes. “Venus, we mustn’t disturb them…” “No. I think it’s a great idea. Let’s have dinner together.” Amor looked at me. I nodded once, and he gave them a confirmation nod. We sat in the lawn area of the inn on chairs
Rejected to be His Luna 36. Lock your door
[Zeve’s POV] “Hmm, yeah.” Amor said with a slight nod. “Our Alpha has the same name. What a cruel coincidence.” “Alpha Amor Blaze. My goodness, I get chills just hearing his name. I have heard so many tales about his cruelty and mercilessness…” Venus said and Amor stopped eating for a while, then continued. He was calm even though they were talking about him.“But I think it is because of him vampires have come under control and our Arginieth, which was a hell because of those blood sucking creatures, is livable now.” Venus said.“That’s how kingdoms and rules of a kingdom work. Based on fear. Many have different opinions about him becoming the Alpha of such a large pack at such a tender age, but things he has achieved in just a few years of his rule are beyond commendable. Like his father couldn’t create a monolithic pack, but he did…” “But at the cost of so many lives.” Venus interrupted Zahir. “If you look from my point of view, nothing much has changed for women in our society.
Rejected to be His Luna 37. Self defence
[Zeve’s POV] I shifted back, “what do you want? You say you don’t want my body, so why do you keep touching me?” “Because I want you to stay safe. And I want to teach you self defence so that you wouldn't feel the need to call out for me to protect you. So remember a few things."I peered at him pressing my lips together. I tensed my brows as he started speaking."First, lock your room. Forget yourself, but don’t forget to lock your room. Be it while we are travelling or when we are in my palace."I literally had my heart in my throat while he lectured me. I placed my hand over my chest, feeling my erratic beats."Second, scan around the room when you enter. Sharpen your senses. Stop saying to yourself you can’t and start visualising yourself already doing it. If you are ever pinned on a bed forcefully by anyone — man, woman — anyone. Try to get on your side and curl your body in a foetus position…” He laid on the bed and then showed me how to do it. He laid flat on his back and the
Rejected to be His Luna 38. Do you trust them
[Zeve’s POV] The morning began, but what happened last night was like a stubborn hangover. His words kept on repeating in my mind. I was constantly thinking about him and it was annoying. His thoughts were supposed to fill me with rage, bitterness and an eternal bloodlust for revenge — they did. But something about those emotions building in my heart was strange, faltering and unfathomable. “Why did he teach me self defence out of blue?” I talked to myself. Questions were all over my mind, but I knew Amor wasn’t straight enough to give me a straight answer. He would make them twisted, might even lie. He was definitely not doing all that for me. Deep down, I knew he had some ulterior motives. How can teaching me self defence help him? I thought, peering outside the window as the grey clouds took abstract forms with the dark clouds. I was sitting on a chair. “It all started after I told him I wanted to see the day. Or maybe not? Tsk! Why is he doing what he is doing? Does he not
Rejected to be His Luna 39. Wild cat
[Zeve’s POV] “What do you mean by if I trust them? They are so in love. They are a perfect couple. Why do you doubt them? They are just enjoying themselves, right?” I asked him. He kept peering at me for a long time, then said with a strange smile on his face. It wasn’t exactly sad, but painful in a teasing way. “Second question: who do you trust more? Them or me?” He asked as his gaze bound mine with his. “Who do you want me to trust? Them… or you?” I asked him. There was a smooth silence between us. A silence that felt as if every word we spoke reverberated into a fading abyss. We kept peering at each other, worshipping the silence until he said, “well played, Zeve Freedom. But it’s not about who I want you to trust, it’s about who could earn your trust. I think I know my answer, but I will ask this question again. Who do you trust, them or me?” “Them.” I said and a satisfactory smile appeared on his face. As if he was expecting me to trust them and not him. I don’t know wh
Rejected to be His Luna 40. The strange book
[Zeve’s POV] The next day, the four of us set out for Phantoria. It would be a long journey, so Zahir and Amor agreed to hire a public carriage. All Amor did was sleep for most of the journey, while Zahir was reading some kind of book. The book had a red cover with beautifully calligraphed golden words and design on its leather cover. It was in a language I didn’t understand. Venus kept talking to me about various things. Most of the time I tried dodging her questions and the other times I had to make tricky answers so that what I said wouldn’t be a lie, but not a complete truth either. I had learnt this from Amor when he answered about his profession to Zahir. We travelled for two weeks. Stopping now and then in inns and resting before setting off on the journey. I could tell one thing for sure — Amor might have said this journey was a pre marriage ritual, but all he wanted to do was sleep day and night. How could a man sleep so much? He woke up to eat, freshen up or to get me
Rejected to be His Luna 41. Friendship built on lies
[Zeve’s POV] “Amor. What happened earlier was not because of them… I-I don’t know why I panicked…” I said. He looked at me with tensed brows, “are you blind or you just don’t want to see?” “See what? What are you talking about?” I said, trying my best to not offend any of them. Amor sighed and looked at Venus and Zahir, “you will speak on your own or should I tell her?” Zahir and Venus looked at each other. The frenzieness in their mind was clearly visible on their faces. Zahir dropped his gaze and looked at the floor. Venus was sweating and gulping again and again. Both of them didn’t say a word and restlessly pondered into nothingness until Amor spoke again. “It was somehow related to the winner of the Black Light festival, right?” He asked, leaning on the back of his chair with his hands crossed across his chest. Both Venus and Zahir looked at him as if he had caught their darkest secret. Venus was breathing heavily, fidgeting with her fingers and biting her lips. I understo
Rejected to be His Luna 42. The ruined castle
[Zeve’s POV] Venus stumbled, got up, then rushed to Zahir. She stood in front of Amor before he kicked Zahir’s chest. “Please stop!” she begged. “Out of my way, Venus. If you don’t want to get hurt… out of my way.” Amor warned her, his eyes were glowing neon blue. The memories from when Amor attacked my pack came crashing into my head. Recalling his destructive powers, I got up and rushed to him. “Amor, stop! Please!” I held his hand. Amor looked at me. “You are stopping me? They hurt you more than me and you come to stop me. Huh! I can’t believe you.” “It’s not important that you hurt the person who hurt you. Violence will solve nothing. Let’s just leave, ok?” I said in a coaxing voice. He jerked off my hand. “No, now I want to see where they would have taken us. No one parting ways with anyone. Take us — take me where you were going to take me. It was a trap for me, right? So not a problem. As long as Zeve isn’t involved, I don’t care what you plan against me. I would also lo
