2024-10-29 19:42:56TYSON’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

Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
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 and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
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
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
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
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
TYSON’S POV We had been following Aurora for what seemed like forever. I was tempted to leave her alone but I didn’t want to take any chances with her safety.“Does she even know what she is doing?” I grumbled, taking ye another turn.Caleb snorted and replied, “So, the great king can’t digest the fact the someone is better than him…”My eyebrows furrowed as I thought about it. Was I jealous of Aurora? I don’t think so. If she could take us out of the maze, I would feel proud; just like I felt proud whenever Aslan outwitted me in childhood.Letting out a deep sigh, I caught up with Aurora who was staring at a tiny passage. Her face lit upon seeing me. “I have been marking all the trees along the way. We have been passing the same trees again and again. These two are the only ones that are not marked. Let us try taking this path.” She gushed excitedly.I didn
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
CALEB’S POV I watched in awe as Aurora fended off the lion with the torch. It was evident from her face that she was terrified of the lion but she tried to protect us all the same.Today I understood the real meaning of ‘bravery’. It doesn’t mean not being scared, it means fighting for the ones you care about even if you are shaking with fear.Tyson and I were just trying to save our huge egos from getting hurt. It was Aurora who embodied bravery today.The moment the lion left, Aurora fainted. I rushed to hold her but Tyson made it there faster.My eyes widened with horror as I saw her skin turn slightly blue. Tyson sat on a rock and made her lie across his lap, all the while trying to wake her up.My heart skipped a beat when I saw two teeth marks on her ankle. “Holy crap!” I exclaimed as I kneeled to the ground and examined her wound,“What happened, Caleb?”I
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN
TYSON’S POV “We are here looking for something. I was wondering if you could help us…” I said leaning forward.“Paranoid and impatient as ever… You didn’t even ask how this grandma is… How rude…”Clenching my fists I gritted out, “How are you grandma?”She chuckled and replied, “Now that the great king of dragons has called me ‘grandma’ I should be fine, shouldn’t I?”My eyes widened in surprise as I hadn’t expected her to know my identity. She didn’t seem as ordinary as she looked.“Please don’t mind him, grandma. He is helpless by nature..” Aurora said, flashing her a wide smile. Ah! That smile… it could drain you of all anger and pain.“Why would I take offense to my grandson’s behavior?”“Thank you so much, grandma. We are here
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT
CALEB’S POV “Does that mean ‘The Heart of Magic doesn’t exist at all…” I asked in a shaking voice.“Unfortunately, yes son…”My heart sank. What would I tell the Dark Lord, now? He had promised to resurrect my pack on the condition that I will give him the stone once it is recovered.We decided to stay back in the cottage till the morning. Worry and apprehension kept me awake all night. Once I returned, the Dark Lord will find out the truth and God knows how many werewolves will become his prey.Aurora hugged the old lady before leaving. She even promised to bring Tiara here once she had grown older. It was heart-warming to see Aurora form such a wonderful bond overnight.My heart remained cold though. I wanted to feel the warmth, the happiness but there was only darkness; deep and unending...I couldn’t help but wonder; would the things have been differen
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
TYSON’S POVI sat there dumbfounded for a long time. What was wrong with this girl? It took every ounce of my willpower to confess my feelings for her but in the end, she just ran away without listening to me.Exhaling deeply, I went in search of Caleb and Aurora. The sun had reached close to the horizon and would set soon. I had to find both of them before sunset. It wasn’t a good idea to stay alone in the forest especially at night.After about an hour of toiling, I found Caleb standing at the edge of a steep valley.“What are you doing here?” I asked sneaking upon him. Startled, he turned around so quickly that he almost fell into the valley.“Damn it! Tyson… Can’t you be more thoughtful? Look at the valley… if I fall down... I will be turned into pulp,” Caleb said regaining his balance and taking a few steps away from the edge.Catching his breath he asked, “W

AURORA’S POV Three months later…My lips spread into a wide grin as I watched Tyson play with the keys nervously. “What the hell is taking so long?”Bumping my shoulder against Tyson’s, I said in a teasing voice, “Is the great Dragon King afraid of being spotted at the clinic of Gynecologist?”His face turned red and he almost shouted, “How can you joke about this, Aurora? 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,
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT
AURORA’S POV I watched in horror as blood gushed out of the wound. It took me a few moments to realize what he had done.“Why the hell did you do that?” I shouted, making him lay in my lap.I was about to use my magic to assess him when he held my hands and shook his head.He gasped for breath and muttered, “I… I have to die…”“NO! 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
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER FORTY SIX
AURORA’S POV I closed my eyes and focused on the place I had seen in my memories and tried to teleport there. 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 and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
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
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
TYSON’S POV “I went to the Roxiant today.”“What the F***! Why did you go there personally? You should have sent me or Zarina. Don’t You know how dangerous that place is? 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
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER FORTY THREE
CALEB’S POV It had been six months since I saw Aurora. On a whim I texted her to meet me near the bar. 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
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER FORTY TWO
ASLAN’S POV Aurora touched my soul once more through her kindness. There could be no one else like her. I was determined to help her find all the happiness in the world.“How the hell did you switch the babies though…” Aurora’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts.“Aslan gave me the locket to his sanctuary. 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
Aurora and the Heart of Magic CHAPTER FORTY ONE
ASLAN’S POV My heart sank when I saw Aurora leave. Did that mean Zarina had truly killed the baby? My heart beat like thunder as I moved to the front of the cage.“Zizi, Don’t tell me you killed the baby… You just wanted to use her as leverage right…” I asked in a shaking voice.“So what if I killed her… What do you care?”My knees gave way and I fell to the ground. 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. I should have let h
