The atmosphere in the Grand Hall shifted from shock to a heavy, simmering tension. While the rest of the students were being herded toward the Moon and Heir towers, Pamela and I stood in the center of the atrium, looking at our digital assignment badges.

"There must be a mistake in the logistics," I muttered, tapping my tablet. "We invested millions into the Silver Tower. Our suites were designed specifically for our encryption needs. We have board meetings scheduled for tonight."

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Surprises

    Aella POVThe room remained silent except for the sound of the heartbeats echoing softly through the monitors.Fast.Slow.Alive.I couldn’t stop staring at the screen.Neither could Sol.Something in my chest had completely unraveled the moment I heard them for the first time. The fear, the pressure, the endless responsibilities waiting outside these walls—None of it mattered for those few seconds.Only them.Only our children.Beatriz, however, suddenly frowned.Not lightly.Deeply.The kind of expression doctors made right before delivering terrible news.My stomach tightened immediately.“What?” Sol asked sharply beside me.Beatriz looked between us slowly.Then blinked.“Wait,” she said carefully. “When exactly were you planning on informing me that you were pregnant with triplets?”Silence.Complete silence.I felt my entire body go cold.“What?”Beatriz stared at us.“You’re having triplets.”Sol paled instantly beside me.Actually paled.I turned toward him so fast I nearly s

    Aella POVThe moment Beatriz finished speaking, the castle reacted.Glowing arrows appeared on the floor instantly, bright silver lines forming across the polished stone before extending down one of the hallways.Pamela jumped.“Oh come on,” she complained. “Why does the castle keep doing that?”Chaos laughed loudly beside us.“Because it enjoys being dramatic.”The arrows pulsed again as if offended by the delay.Chaos pointed toward them with a grin.“You should probably follow those.”Marcus sighed deeply. “I miss normal buildings.”“There is no such thing anymore,” Pamela informed him gravely before immediately following the arrows.The rest of us moved after her.The castle corridors shifted subtly as we walked, walls widening and lights brightening the farther we advanced. The sanctuary itself seemed eager now, almost excited, guiding us deeper inside its structure.Then the hallway opened.I stopped.Because what waited beyond looked unmistakably like a hospital wing.Not ancie

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Magical existential crisis

    Chapter — The Mark of the SanctuaryAella POV“Get in line,” Sol said calmly.The authority in his voice made everyone actually obey immediately.Marcus moved first, guiding Beatriz forward while Pamela remained behind him, still looking equal parts nervous and fascinated by everything happening around her.The clearing had changed again.The sanctuary itself seemed alert now, awake in a way it had not been before. The flowers shimmered brighter, the air carried visible traces of light drifting lazily around us, and the portal behind me pulsed steadily with silver-blue energy.Sol stood at the center of it all.Steady.Grounded.Powerful.He looked toward Beatriz first.“You’re first.”Beatriz narrowed her eyes slightly. “I’m beginning to question every decision that led me here.”Chaos grinned immediately. “That means you’re adapting wonderfully.”She ignored him completely and stepped in front of Sol.To my surprise, Sol gently took both her hands in his.The moment they touched—Po

    Aella POVChaos clasped his hands together, looking far too entertained by the entire situation.“Well,” he said brightly, “normally this would involve ancient rituals, blood offerings, sacred vows, and enough dramatic chanting to satisfy even me.”Pamela visibly paled.Chaos grinned wider.“But since the sanctuary has not had active monarchs in centuries…” He gestured lazily toward Sol and me. “You two have to determine a new method of swearing them in.”Marcus blinked slowly.“So you’re telling me there’s no actual procedure?”“There was a procedure,” Order corrected calmly. “It simply no longer applies.”“That sounds deeply unsafe,” Pamela muttered.I ignored them and focused instead on what my essence had told me earlier.Recognition.Binding.A fragment of power.I inhaled slowly before stepping forward.“I know how to do it,” I said quietly.Everyone looked at me.“I’ll infuse a small amount of my Monarch power into them,” I explained. “Not enough to truly alter them, more like…

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The fun part

    Aella POVThe bond pulsed sharply.Closer.My breath caught as the silver-blue portal shimmered violently for a moment before stabilizing once more. I could feel Sol approaching through the connection now, steady and determined, carrying multiple presences with him.Then—The portal opened fully.Sol stepped through first.And behind him—Beatriz.Pamela.Marcus.The moment Pamela crossed the threshold into the clearing, she froze.Her eyes landed directly on me.Or more specifically—On my stomach.My pregnancy belly was no longer small enough to hide beneath flowing fabric. The sanctuary had accelerated the babies’ growth, and even though I had not gained much weight elsewhere, the curve of my stomach was unmistakable now.Pamela gasped softly, her hand flying to her mouth.“Oh my God…”Emotion flooded through the bond instantly as Sol moved closer to me, instinctively positioning himself at my side.Marcus looked equally stunned, though far quieter about it.Beatriz, however—Beatr

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Gate Reopens

    Aella POVI felt the bond stretch the moment Sol stepped through the portal.Not painfully.Not dangerously.But undeniably.The connection between us pulled taut like a living thread, extending through the silver-blue doorway as he crossed back into the castle. I could still feel him—his heartbeat, the cold flame within him, the steady determination radiating through the bond—but there was distance now.Real distance.And yet—The connection did not weaken.If anything, it became clearer.More deliberate.Like we were finally using something that had always existed between us.The portal shimmered before me, silver and blue light intertwining with the iridescent darkness flowing from my heart. The clearing around us glowed softly in response, the jeweled flowers trembling faintly as power spread through the sanctuary itself.My essence watched the portal carefully before turning toward me.“The sanctuary is changing,” she said softly.I frowned slightly. “Because of us?”She nodded.

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   3 hours training

    The middle of the day was a grueling marathon of mental gymnastics. Finance Class was a joke; I ended up correcting the professor's tax-haven models while Sol watched with a smirk that said he’d already moved his gold to my recommended accounts. Theater was even more surreal—the "Acting Method" was

    The walk to the first class was an exercise in power. We weren't just students moving through a hallway; we were a parade of apex predators. The King and Alpha Linus led the way, their presence so overwhelming that other students—including several Alphas from the lower towers—literally backed into

    The Academy was silent, the stone corridors lit only by the flickering glow of ancient torches and modern security beams. At precisely 22:00, the heavy iron doors of the Sovereign Training Chamber groaned open. The air inside was different—colder, pressurized. Linus stood in the center of the mas

    The aftermath was a blur of steel and shouting. Within seconds, a phalanx of the Royal Guard had surrounded us, their shields forming a shimmering wall of reinforced silver. Marcus didn't let me stand until we were deep within the stone corridors of the Imperial Wing, his hand a heavy, grounding we
