Rejected to be His Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 211 - チャプター 220

[Zeve’s POV]His footsteps kept getting louder and louder. He stood right outside the alley. The yellow light behind him coming from the street lamps created his black silhouette. I kept my head low, partially eclipsed by the hood. I saw his shoes as he stood in front of me.I tightened my grip on the dagger beneath my robe.He reached out to my hood.“Why were you crying earlier?” A familiar voice reached my ears. He placed his palm on my cheek under the hood of my robe and traced my eyes with his thumb as if he was wiping off my non-existent tears. I tightened the grip over my dagger, my heart pulsating against my chest.His icy touch wasn’t scary, but that wasn’t a strong enough reason for me to not kill him.I grabbed his neck. Twirled him around. By the end of the twirl, I teleported both of us in an abandoned meadow somewhere in the forests of Arginieth. I slammed him on the ground, pinning him on the grass as I sat astride him.“Who are you? Why were you following me?” I ask

[Zeve’s POV]Amor looked pale. He had grown stubble beards. It was clear from his face that he wasn’t eating and sleeping properly. I wondered if he had slept even for an hour since that day he came to who Dawn was to me. Dark circles had appeared under his eyes and he looked exhausted. His unreadable eyes were mysterious and dull, as if he was dead inside. I could clearly see how difficult this whole situation had been for him and somewhere I blamed myself for it, even though I knew I wasn’t at fault.He was there right in front of my eyes, yet… I couldn’t put my thoughts into words because I was blank. I didn’t know what to say, what to ask, or what to do. Maybe I was hurting him just by standing before him.I wanted to disappear, but his gaze on me didn’t give me the freedom to avert my eyes.I just kept peering into his eyes, waiting for him to say something. But he, too, had turned silent.I saw Jade and Yule peep from behind Amor’s legs and I immediately understood it was their

[Amor’s POV]I anxiously held her hands, “Zeve… what did you say?”“I am sure you heard it well enough,” she said, taking her hand back from me.“What does that mean?” I asked, licking my dry lips.“It means I am the only one with all the rights over myself,” she said, peering into my eyes.I nodded then smiled at her, “of course. You have all rights over yourself. If you don’t want to tell where you were, it’s ok. I am sure you needed some time alone too…”She dropped her gaze and walked back to her dressing table. I trudged behind her.She picked the comb to brush her hair. I took it from her hand. She looked at me, confused. I lowered my gaze, walked behind her, and brushed her hair.I tried not to overthink what she said. My mind and my body perhaps understood how scary those words were and how fearful their outcome could be, but my heart kept denying all of it. My fingers had turned cold within seconds. Beyond the roots of the haunting silence was a tree of words both of us wan

[Zeve’s POV] He kept hugging me without saying a word. I could feel his racing heartbeats, his heavy breaths. I hugged him back. Everything was said. I wonder how couples broke up so easily. I tried to break his love for me and he ended up adding more depth and strength to our bond. I didn’t want to leave him. That would be the most foolish decision I would ever make emotionally, but I had to think and act practically to save myself from any more regrets. There was no way I would use him, his pack, or my title as a luna as a shield anymore. There was no use of hiding anymore. I had to face everything, but before that I had to find the complete truth myself. Zahir told us the truth, and I confirmed it from the memories I saw on the islands, but there were a lot of loose ends to his story that I had to connect. If Amor expelled me in front of everyone, vampires would stop any future attacks on Arginieth, or at least I hoped they did, because the last ten years of the second sacr

[Zeve’s POV]The religious leaders were seated together on the left side of the blue carpet that led to our throne and the royal family was to the right. Amor was seated on his throne and priestess Melantha was seated closest to Amor’s throne.I entered the courtroom, and everyone got on their feet. Amor peered at me while I looked at him, then dropped my gaze. With my knights walking behind me, I walked to the stairs that led to our throne.Amor got up and walked down the stairs to me, stretching out his hand. I took his hand, and we sat on our throne. Everyone took their seats after an affirming nod from Amor.The look on the religious leader’s face was as if they were forcing themselves to show respect to the devil on the throne. That wasn’t my first time receiving such hostile glares, so it really didn’t matter. At least, I hoped it didn’t.Once I was expelled from the pack, the danger would come searching for me all at once. I was well aware of what I would face. First the vampi
