BEWITCHED BILLIONAIRE

CHAPTER 1 : Bonded By The Womb And The Blood

ARYANA GREEN'S POV 

8 years later .......

" Momma " I heard two familiar voices shouting while running in my direction startling me from my  concentration. I was meditating in the royal gardens of Aelston near the crystal lakes, letting my powers be one with the nature and feeling the energy pulsing throughout my body when my kids' shouting and running broke my concentration and I hurriedly opened my eyes and stood up on my feet expecting for the worst.

My Power is the biggest boon and bane for me, I have to always be alert and ready for any attack on me, my kids or my kingdom. I am strong and I strive everyday practicing hard to make sure I don't  have any physical weaknesses but I can't help with the emotional ones-my lovely kids, they are my biggest weaknesses and my enemies will definitely try to use them to get me down.

This is the very reason why any powerful witch is discouraged to fall in love, marry or to have kids. I am the first powerful witch to commit such a stupid mistake of sleeping with a man but I don't regret getting pregnant, my kids are my beautiful mistake. Although I am very glad that I didn't know their father or he too would have become my weakness. 

As I looked around for any possible signs of danger, two most beautiful figures came in my view. My son Adrian Lucas Green and my daughter Adrianna Lily Green.

My son looks disturbingly like his father, he even inherited his silver-grey eyes instead of my family's mesmerising forest green which has always been a family trait in our bloodline. He has his hairs, eyes, nose, lips and his everything, he did not even inherited the magical blood of my family.

Yes my son is the first ever witch born human that too, born from the womb of a powerful witch like me. I am the most powerful witch born in the past ten millenniums and thus the next heiress of the witch kingdom- Aelston, which makes the birth of my son as human nearly impossible even though his father is a pure human. 

My daughter on the other hand looks exactly like me and has inherited my forest green eyes and magical blood of my family bloodline. She is very powerful even at the young age of seven.

Although Adrian and Adrianna are twins but still they are polar opposite in their personalities and ofcourse there is the matter of Adrian's lack of magical abilities, which he is always distressed about. He always feels that he is inferior than the rest of witch borns because of his lack of magical abilities. There are other witch or wizard borns with one human parent who still have their magical abilities, which disturbs him because inspite of being born from the womb of the most powerful witch in the world he doesn't possess magical blood or the family trait of my bloodline-the green eyes.

How should I tell my son that he is special when he refuses to believe so ? How should I tell him that not possessing magical blood doesn't make him weaker ? How should I tell him that I am proud of him not inheriting magical blood ? My son is special and in this world of magical blood and it's power he is a breath of fresh air and has the ability to resist magic and the power that comes alongwith it. 

Because I was busy in my thoughts I didn't feel the presence of my babies' near me, it was when they both hugged my legs that I become aware that my heartbeats have finally caught up to me. 

With a breathtaking smile I asked them " what are my favourite babies doing here ? " And also softly admonishing them I said a little sternly " How many times have I told both of you to not wander around without a adult or your guards ? You both know how important you are to the kingdom, still you both pull these stunts. " I shake my head disappointed at them and their careless behaviour, but with a wince I remembered about my days and my careless and carefree attitude and where it landed me. They were still kids but I was a grown ass adult. 

I sighed at the disappointing turn my thoughts were taking and instead smiled at them and held their hands taking them to the shore of the crystal lake. 

We all sat down basking in the calmness that nature provided and enjoying our togetherness and family bonding time.

" Now will you both tell me about your sudden visit to the lake when you both knew it was time for my mediation. " I asked both of them breaking the silence and looking at both their faces expectantly.

" Mom I feel that I am not important and useless and a burden to you and the Kingdom " my son tells me with a stone cold expression on his face but I am his mother I can tell the hidden sadness and hurt behind his words and that stone cold face. 

I gently placed my son on my lap and just silently stroke his back to comfort him and soothe his unvoiced hurt, I try and make my son feel that he is important to me and Adrianna too joins the hug and try to tell her big brother that he is very important to her too. I gladly embrace both my kids and silently reveal in their warmth and try to provide both of them my soothing warmth.

After our little family moment I decide to talk with my son and clear all his misunderstandings and insecurities which he has started developing since Adrianna started receiving her powers one by one. We already had this talk several times in the past but today I am determined to make my son accept his uniqueness and rest his insecurities once and for all.

" Lucas " I lovingly called my son with his middle name " Who told you that you are a burden sweetheart ? " My son remained silent but this statement flared my my daughter's temper instead " that evil witch Sabrina told Rian all these stupid things mother, she said that Rian is useless to the kingdom because he is not a wizard and told him that he was just a burden you carried in your womb because of me, that I am the heir of Aelston and he is just a unwanted bonus you got while giving birth to me. " 

Listening to my daughter my blood boiled and I mentally decided the ways I will use to punish that witch but for now I decided to console my son.

" Lucas look at me " I ordered my son in my mom voice and when he looked at me I could see the vulnerable and innocent child that my son is. " Do you believe these stupid things that Sabrina told you ? " I questioned my son in a soft voice when he didn't reply I felt my heart break and my anger on that evil witch increased ten folds.

" Lucas sweety, you know in your heart that everything that evil witch said was a lie, don't let the insecurities of your mind cloud the truth from you. You are no burden on me or the Kingdom, instead you are a very precious gift to me and a very precious asset to the kingdom." I told him in a soft but firm tone letting him feel the truth and honesty behind my words.

" Lucas you are a very special child sweetheart, you have the power to resist the temptations of the magic and the quest for power that comes with it. " I let my words sink in the mind of my son and continued " You know the more powerful witch you are born from, the more powerful blood flows through you and the more power you desire but look at you born from the womb of the most powerful witch in the past ten millenniums and you still had the will-power to resist the temptations of my magical blood and powers while still in my womb. " I told my son in a proud tone letting him feel the the pride and love I have for him.

" Me dear son will-power is the greatest power in this world and to use it to resist the desire for power is the most difficult thing to do " I explained the most important lesson of life to my seven year old son and at the same time letting him know of his achievements at such a young age. " You have accomplished this difficult task at such a young age which many fail to do even after years of practice, this makes you the most strongest and the most powerful person I have ever known " my pride was clearly showing from my facial expressions and tone and when my words finally sank in the mind of my son and his face lit up with happiness and pride I was the happiest person in the whole wide world.

" You are right Mom. I am sorry for feeling this way and upsetting you and Anna, I will never let my insecurities take the best of me and will always remember that my strength lies in my will-power to resist power. " My son said in a apologizing tone which was filled with determination and I was the most proud mother in the whole wide world at that moment.

" You both forgot about me, am I not special ? " My daughter asked both of us in a teasing tone deflecting the serious atmosphere that was created because of our conversation. " How can I ever forget you my royal highness, the future Queen of Aelston ? " My son replied back in a teasing tone and just like that all insecurities were gone and the mood became light again when both of my kids started fighting with each other like normal siblings do and I watched both of them, laughing at their silly fights and joining when necessary. 

This situation made me realise that at the end of the day we will find our way back to each other overcoming every small or big obstacles, misunderstandings and insecurities together afterall we all are bound by the womb and the blood.

But at the back of my mind I remembered one more person who was bound to us by the sacred thread of womb and the blood.

A person who I was bound to by my womb and my kids by their blood.
