AURORA’S POV

I sat on the edge of the bed gripping it tightly. I tried hard to stem the flow of tears down my cheeks but in vain.

Tyson’s words kept resounding in my ears. His was filled with so much hatred. If I was given a chance, I would choose Caleb over Tyson anytime.

So what if he was the leader of the Mafia, he had been very kind to me.

“Thinking about my brother, are you?” A sweet voice sounded near me causing me to jump.

I raised my head to see an enchantress. Everything about her was perfection; deep, blue eyes juxtaposing her long golden locks, cherry red lips, and a perfect figure.

Her face flushed slightly and she said, “Thank you for your high appraisal. Some people think that my beauty makes me a weak person.”

“How did you know… can you read my mind?” I asked in an appalled voice.

“I can’t read minds but I can sense moods. With ye

    CALEB’S POVI was busy going over a few files when I sensed a sudden change in the environment. It was so silent that it seemed to be shouting in my ears.On a whim, I checked the CCTV footage. I was stunned to see that most of my den was empty. The place that was usually flooded with men was desolate.On instinct, I drew out both my guns and went to patrol the quarters. The few men who were left were of a low rank and couldn’t possibly know the whereabouts of the others.I ventured into the conference room to find it barren except for Lina. She was so engrossed in watching the screen that she didn’t even sense my presence.“Lina! Where is everyone?” I called out as I walked in.“Alpha Caleb! What a pleasant surprise!” Lina said in a sweet voice, turning towards me.My heart skipped a beat at her tone. What was she up to now?I pointed my gun at her and said in a cold voice, “Don&

    ASLAN’S POV I was walking close behind Tyson and Aurora when I was obstructed by an invisible barrier. Tyson turned around and smirked at me. The next moment the barrier was gone.“What was that?” I asked, catching up with him.“I had a very powerful witch cast a boundary spell around this palace. The boundary is linked to me. So, no one can enter or leave without my wish.”“Does that mean we all are your prisoners now?” I asked him incredulously.“Don’t waste your time on unnecessary details. We have a trial to conduct.” He said as he trotted ahead of us.I stole a sideward glance at Aurora. Her face was pale and her steps faltered slightly as she walked.I fell into step with Aurora and said, “Are you alright?”She let out a long, deep sigh and replied, “I don’t know, Aslan… but thanks for asking.”She had

I wanted to hug you, from the day you saved me…”Her words turned my heart into mush. I tightened my grasp around her and said, “ You don’t have to go there ever again. We have Aslan, so we can keep giving you his blood.”“But, Caleb…” She started saying something but I placed my finger on her lips. I didn’t want her to worry about technical details.My head was buried in her shoulder and her phone was in the back pocket of her jeans. So, when her phone buzzed I was the first to see the notification.Aurora didn’t seem to have noticed the beep. I took out the phone to give it to her but halted when I saw Tyson’s name.I felt like a bolt of lightning had struck m

    ASLAN’S POV I had been waiting for a very long time for Aurora to arrive. Rowan had confirmed that she left the den about ten minutes ago.When ten more minutes passed, I drove the car towards the den. I knew it was risky but I had to find her.I had moved about a mile from the den when I saw a strange blue light. The light was so bright that I had to close my eyes. When I finally managed to open my eyes the light was gone and a girl was standing there.You can imagine my surprise when I realized that it was Aurora. I looked around but I couldn’t figure out the source of the light even with my keen eyesight.Whoever used that power wasn’t someone I wanted to mess with. I stopped the car beside Aurora, pulled her inside, and drove away from there at full speed.When we were at a safe distance, I stole a glance at Aurora. She was sitting like a statue, paler than the ghost.“Aurora…

What did she need the syringe for?My search for Aurora led me to Tyson’s room. My eyes widened in horror when I saw him lying unconscious on the floor. Aurora was standing beside him with a victorious expression.My heart skipped a beat when I saw the empty syringe in her hand. I grabbed her by her shoulders and asked, “You did not…”“Of course I did. Someone needs to teach this pig-head a lesson.” She said indignantly.“Are you crazy, Aurora? Do you know what you have done? You attacked the king of dragons! Did you stop to think what he will do once he wakes up?” I gritted out, shaking her up.“What is the maximum he can do? He will kill me or maybe inject me with the same serum… As if I care… I am already trapped in a

    AURORA’S POVI regretted my decision to inject Tyson with the serum, the moment I calmed down. I wasn’t the type to take revenge. God knows what had come over me!Tyson rolled over to his side and groaned in pain. His face was covered in a cold sweat.“NO!!!! Moma… please don’t leave me here… Teddy will be a good boy. He will always listen to you… Moma… please take me home….” Tyson kept repeating it like a recorder.His face contorted in agony. Whimpers and screams echoed in the room making me shudder.I sat down beside him and grasped his hand. This calmed him slightly and his body stopped convulsing.I wanted to comfort him but the only word that left my mouth was, “Tyson…”My heart twisted with guilt and grief as I watched him suffer. It was all my fault…“Aurora, there is a slight problem. The Crescent Pac

    AURORA’S POVI was about to leave for my room when the screen switched to another more familiar landscape. On close observation, I realized that it was the region in the front of the palace.Hundreds of men filed into the clearing. A man weaved his way through the crowd and came to the front.“Caleb…” I whispered as he took off his helmet.Another young girl came into view. She stood before him. I watched her lips carefully trying to decipher what she was trying to say. The only thing I could make out was ‘Aurora.’My heart accelerated and I moved closer to the screen hoping to understand Caleb’s reply. His face contorted with an ugly expression and he said, “Kill Her.”I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. How could he say that?I shut my eyes when I saw a missile come towards me. Realizing that it was only footage, I opened my eyes again.Missile

It had become very awkward to be around him, after the kiss. But, today I had no option but to face him.I bumped headlong into the pillar as I walked into the dining room. If Tyson hadn’t caught me on time, I would have kissed the floor.He led me to the table, even pulling out a chair for me to sit. His extraordinary behavior was driving me to the edge. I stole a glance at him to find that he was dressed in a brown, formal suit. It brought out the color of his eyes.Sensing my stare he looked at me. My face flushed and I instantly lowered my eyes.I decided to sip on the water just so that I could have something to do. My hands shook so much that I ended up spilling the water on the table.“Why are you so jumpy?” his voice with a tone o

I am worried about our baby.”“Excuse me, mister! Is this your first time at a hospital? Please keep your voice low!”I burst out giggling as I saw the nurse chastise Tyson and storm away. I gasped his hand before he could pursue the nurse.“Do you not want to see our baby?”“F***! Aurora. If I wasn’t so tempted to see our baby on the screen, I would have never come to this wretched place.”Exhaling deeply, I said in a rueful voice,

I am so sorry I blamed you earlier… I… I was just angry with myself…I…”He struggled to get up as he said, “You don’t understand… My soul is linked to The Dark Lord… Till I am alive, he can come back for you… for Tiara…”I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. I grasped his hand and said in a panicked voice “You don’t have to die… I will find a way to unlink you…”He groaned in pain and managed to mutter, “It i

    TYSON’S POVI was stunned when I didn’t find the stone in the locker. “I… had kept it here…” I stuttered.“I know you are not lying but where do you think it is?” Adam whispered a few inches from my ears sending shivers down my spine. It was too comfortable and dangerous to stay here alone with him.I gasped his hand and teleported back to the previous location before he could realize it.“If you want to save your daughter, tell me where the Heart of Magic is?” He gritted out grasping my neck.My eyes widened in surprise when I saw Aurora behind him. Without any warning, she thrust a dagger inside him. “Ahhhh!!!” His bloodcurdling scream sounded as he dropped to the ground.“Are you okay? Where is Tiara?” I asked jumping over Adam’s body to reach Aurora.Adam’s evil laughter sounded as he jumped to his feet. He pull

A few minutes later I had fallen on the ground, drenched in sweat and panting with exertion.My magical powers weren’t enough to penetrate the dark shield. There was only one way now…Teleporting to the sanctuary, I took out ‘The Heart of Magic’. I shivered at the currents of power coursed through me by just holding it.I was about to use it when my mind veered to the Old Lady’s words. ‘Every time you use this stone, you will lose a part of your soul. It will suck you of all happiness, love, kindness and all that will be left in a dark, cold corpse devoid of any feelings.’My hands trembled and my heart raced faster than horses. Aslan, Tyson, and Zarina had already taken their positions as per the plan.If I didn’t save Tiara on time, I would risk all of their l

    AURORA’S POV We sat on the four sides of the map and joined our hands together.“When we give you the signal you all have to cut your palm and let the blood drip on the map. No one speaks in between. Is that clear?”We all nodded our heads and held hands forming a circle. Zarina and I closed our eyes and started chanting the spell.A first everything was dark but as the spell advanced, I could see glimpses of visions between the darkness but it was all hidden behind some haze…Sensing the tug at my hands, I opened my eyes and slit open my palm. The others did the same. All the blood trickled to the center and then nothing…“Damn! I had so much faith that this spell will work!” Zarina said tearing her hair.“It did work… Not the way locator spell works but I saw visions. Tiara is on Earth. We can’t sense her because she is shielded by some dark magic.&rdqu

It is the meeting point of the most powerful seers in the world. What if someone decides to put a hex or a spell on you?”“You both were busy. Someone tipped me off about it and the lead was too good to wait.”“Tell me at least you found something useful, brother.”“I must say that the risk was worth it. I have a blueprint of The Dark Lord’s plan now. His plan is divided into phases. Phase one involves kidnapping Tiara.”“Damn! Is that why you sent Aurora to the sanctuary hastily?”“Hmm… I plan to keep them safe from this mess.”“If we don’t let him complete phase one, we could win easily,” Aslan said in a hopeful voi

I didn’t know if she would come but I couldn’t stop myself from waiting for her.I paced up and down the sidewalk waiting for her. Ten minutes passed then twenty. When she didn’t come even after an hour’s wait, I decided to leave.I had just turned to walk away when Aurora materialized before me. Startled, I took a few steps backward.Smiling at me, she said, “Sorry for the delay, Caleb. Tyson insisted that I should wait till you start leaving just to make sure… you know how paranoid he is…”“I am surprised that he even let you come to meet me.”She snorted and said, “I am not his slave. I don’t need his permission.”“Alright… alright… by the way where is our little angel?”“I left her with As

I put it around Tiara’s neck when I took her from you and teleported to the sanctuary. Raina was already waiting with our baby there… If only I knew Zizi could kill…”“Don’t you think we should tell her about Tyson before he burns the whole forest down?” Raina said abruptly.Letting out a deep sigh I said, “Tyson took whatever you said to his heart. He wanted us to give you Tiara and tell you that he is dead.”“Why would he do that?”“He loves you, Aurora. He doesn’t want to be the one who brings pro

Tears rolled down my cheeks and a scream erupted from my soul. This had to be a lie… She couldn’t do this…Tyson kneeled beside me and pulled me into a hug, “I am so sorry, Aslan. I… I am such a failure… I should have come up with something better…”“No, Tyson you didn’t fail… I was the one who failed.”Jumping to my feet I grasped the bars of the cage and roared, “I should have listened to Tyson.
