AURORA’S POV
When the spinning sensation ended, I found myself in a dark alley. I had forgotten to visualize the place where I wanted to be. As a result, I had teleported to a random location.
Letting out a deep sigh, I walked in the only direction I could see light coming from. It led me to a huge two-storeyed building. The strong pungent stench of alcohol indicated that it was a nightclub. It was a pity I couldn’t drink.
I was about to leave but a blood-curdling scream made me stop dead in my tracks. Venturing inside I saw a young boy of about twelve being bullied by a group of strangers.
The boy’s face was pale and his body was trembling. The man in the center looked at him with distaste and said. “Is this the way a man should behave? If someone tries to pick on you, you should know how to retaliate. Come fight me.”
Was this man addled? How could a young, weak boy stand against his muscular, large f
AURORA’S POV I paced up and down the room, wringing my hands, glaring at Aslan every few seconds. That idiot had declared me as the Queen of Dragons… What was he even thinking?“Can you please slow down… My head has started throbbing.” Aslan said massaging his head.I stood right in front of him and gritted out, “Serves you right! If you hadn’t saved my life I would have used my magic and turned you into a mouse and put you in one of those boxes we get… you know the ones in which the rat keeps running one a wheel…”“Calm down Little Witch… I just announced the truth…” His face turned pale and stopped talking suddenly.“What did you just say?”“Ummm… nothing…” He said looking away.He was hiding something from me and I intended to get it out of him. I used my power and suspended against
TYSON’S POV I had the habit of imagining scenarios and preparing to meet them headlong. Never in my wildest dreams had I thought that I would be mated to someone. It wasn’t deliberate but it did happen. I had started caring for Aurora and our baby. This scared the shit out of me.After we teleported back to the Pearl Palace, I lifted Aurora in my arms and carried her slowly to my bedroom. Whenever I saw anyone, I would lower my head as if I am whispering something in her ears.I could hear the thrumming of her heart and her labored breathing. My lips spread in a natural smile realizing that my proximity affected her. The moment I closed the door to my bedroom she exploded, “What do you think you were doing? This was supposed to be acting!”I bit the inside of my cheeks to keep my expression stoic and said, “Wasn’t this acting?”She got flustered and scowle
TYSON’S POV I stirred in my sleep to the most wonderful sensation in the world. I felt so complete and warm. My lips spread into a contented smile and I cracked open my eyes.Then, it struck me like a bolt of lightning. I had never intended to sleep with Aurora. I couldn’t let her come any closer to me than she already was!I got out of my bed and glanced at Aurora. Thankfully, she was still sleeping. I didn’t want her to think that I had any feelings for her. I left before Aurora got up.“Aslan! Zarina! Caleb!” I called out as I entered the hall.Zarina was the first to teleport in front of me. She seemed particularly happy that I had allowed her to use magic inside the palace. Aslan arrived a few moments later.“I am going to Typhoon. Zarina, it will be your responsibility to take care of Aurora. Help her learn how to control magic. Aslan, it will be your duty to manage the affairs behi
CALEB’S POV I carried Tiara outside so that Zarina and the healer could change Aurora’s clothes. She looked so much like Tyson; same copper eyes, sharp eyebrows but her lips were like Aurora’s; soft as the petals of a rose.She was the kind of baby one instantly fell in love with. I could fight with the world for her. I placed my finger near her tiny palm, My heart danced with joy when she gripped my huge finger with her tiny hands.My time with the little angel was cut short when I heard Aurora’s anxious voice.“Where is my baby?”Her face lit up with a million-dollar smile on seeing Tiara in my arms. Tiara started wailing loudly as if on cue.“Teetee is missing moma too, is it?” I cooed handing her over to Aurora. I watched in wonder as Tiara stopped crying the moment she was in Aurora’s arms.Zarina came in with a feeding bottle and handed it to Aurora. Soft sucking so
TYSON’S POV Exhaling loudly, I sat with a thump on my bed. I had foiled probably the two hundredth attempt of my enemies to kill Aurora. Though this time something seemed off. It was a very easy win almost as if the man was trying to test something rather than fighting. I had to be more careful in the future.The screen lit up with a notification, ‘Tiara’s milk was spiked with poison in Pearl Palace.’Hell! That attack was just a ploy to keep me distracted while they carried out their original plan. Those M*****F******! It was time for part B of the plan.I would soon put an end to all of this. There was no way I would let them hurt Aurora or my little angel. I would keep her safe and protected no matter what I had to do.I picked up the skin-colored mask and wore it on my face. Soon, the person staring at me had a wheatish complexion, no scar, and a huge mole top of the lips. I put on blue contacts to comp
ASLAN’S POV “Zarina, tell me honestly. What do you know about the recent attack on the baby?” I asked, gripping her shoulders.“Are you getting worried about that tiny tot now, brother? I have already written death in her destiny. It is just a matter of time.”It took every ounce of my self-control to speak the next sentence. Zarina was trying to test my intentions and I couldn’t fail her. “We have been pretending for FIVE whole months to care for Aurora. Now, if Tiara dies before we get the Heart of Magic, won’t our efforts go in vain?”“Don’t worry, brother. I have already warned Logan not to attack Tiara again.”I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. “What the F***! Did you say… Logan?”“I often forget how little you know about witches. Celeste’s soul was bound to Logan’s body. So, she can channel him as a
AURORA’S POV I felt so restless at the thought of taking my little girl on a dangerous expedition. Unfortunately, I had no choice.Caleb stood up and took out a scroll from his pocket. The paper looked so thin that I was scared it would tear just because we tried to open it.Spreading it out on the table Caleb explained, “This was given to me by a very powerful seer who owed me a favor. This is an ancient map that shows the location of the portal. It is nestled in the nucleus of a dense forest. This forest is surrounded by concentric stretches of seas, deserts, and high mountains.”“Dang it! Caleb, we can’t possibly think of taking my newborn baby to such a place! I don’t think she can bear the unending journey and climatic fluctuations…”“Who said we have to travel? We can teleport.” Zarina said shrugging her shoulders.I smacked my forehead. I had forgotten that
TYSON’S POV My heart swelled with pride as I saw Aurora perform a hex and spell checker. Living with a witch sister, I had learned to tell one spell from another.My grip on Tiara tightened slightly. I had almost risked my angel’s life. I vowed to be more careful in the future.“Everything is fine now.” Aurora cooed taking Tiara in her arms.Tiara gurgled and flashed one of her best smiles which I believed she had reserved for her mother. It was like being hit by sunshine after weeks of snow.When Aurora took Tiara close to the tree, she raised her hand and touched the tree of her own accord.We waited in anticipation for some signal that the portal was open; maybe a rumbling sound, a storm, or maybe a blinding light but nothing happened.When everything remained the same even after five minutes I had to accept that my idea hadn’t worked.“I tried now it is your chance, Auro
