Aella POV

The portal opened directly into the heart of the Void, and I stepped through first, expecting to find another army waiting for us. Sol came immediately behind me, followed by Chaos, Order, and Hunter, but the cavern was empty. At least, it looked empty.

The lake was perfectly still. The glowing stone at its center pulsed steadily, brighter than when Althea had first brought me here, and every beat sent silver light across the cavern walls. Nothing stood between us and the core. There

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Belong to the void

    Aella POV.Something changed in his expression."Sol."My husband glanced toward him. "What?"Chaos stared at the blood before looking at Elias. "I need yours."Sol didn't hesitate.That surprised me more than it probably should have. Apparently, being married to me had permanently destroyed his sense of self-preservation."How much?" Sol asked.Chaos smiled. "Not much."Sol extended his hand, but I grabbed his wrist. "Could someone explain before we start exchanging blood during a battle?"Order's eyes widened slightly.He understood."Binding."Chaos nodded. "Elias knows the Void. He knows its pathways, its weaknesses, its old laws. He spent centuries learning how my power worked."His gaze shifted toward Sol. "But he doesn't know Sol."Elias's expression changed.Barely.But I saw it.Chaos did too.His smile widened. "Oh."Elias attacked.Order intercepted him before he reached us, their powers colliding violently across the cavern."Now would be excellent!" Order shouted.Sol dra

    Aella POVThe portal opened directly into the heart of the Void, and I stepped through first, expecting to find another army waiting for us. Sol came immediately behind me, followed by Chaos, Order, and Hunter, but the cavern was empty. At least, it looked empty.The lake was perfectly still. The glowing stone at its center pulsed steadily, brighter than when Althea had first brought me here, and every beat sent silver light across the cavern walls. Nothing stood between us and the core. There were no mutants, no shadows, no signs that anyone had entered.Chaos frowned as he studied the cavern. "He isn't here."Order's amber eyes swept across the chamber. "Nothing has breached this place.""But we felt something," I said, staring at the core."We felt him searching for it," Chaos corrected quietly.Sol went still beside me, and I understood at the same moment he did. "Another distraction."Hunter cursed, and I spun toward the portal, but it collapsed before I could reach it. The entir

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Flesh and Bone

    Aella POVWe arrived at the Academy ready for war. Chaos came through first, Order immediately behind him, followed by Sol and me with Riot in his arms and Althea against my chest.And then Xander appeared beside us.I stared at my son as the tiny portal behind him closed. "How— Xander!"He smiled at me, completely pleased with himself. Apparently, my infant son had decided that being left somewhere safe was merely a suggestion now that he knew how to create portals.I didn't have time to deal with it.The Academy was under attack.The beautiful island we had spent weeks transforming into a home for the students was surrounded by darkness. The Sanctuary's sky had changed. The beautiful streams of magic that normally danced through the air were colliding violently with waves of black energy.Monsters were everywhere.They weren't inside the Academy. Not yet. They were attacking the space surrounding it. Mutants clawed against the barriers while creatures I had never seen before threw t

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Brothers

    Aella POVBrothers.Order and Chaos were brothers.I stared between them as that single piece of information rearranged nearly everything I knew about both men."Brothers," I repeated.Chaos glanced at me."Yes."I pointed between him and the enormous golden statue that apparently contained his brother."That explains so much."Sol nodded beside me."An uncomfortable amount, actually."Chaos looked offended."I don't know what that's supposed to mean."The entire underground Academy trembled again before Sol could answer.The golden statue began to glow.Riot, still perched proudly on its shoulder, squealed."Riot!"Sol immediately reached for our son.This time, thankfully, Riot allowed himself to be removed.The moment Sol had him safely against his chest, the golden statue changed.It shrank.Slowly at first.The massive structure contracted as streams of golden light spiraled around it.Twenty feet.Fifteen.Ten.Five.Until there was no statue anymore.There was a man.He stepped

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Other Half

    Aella POVApparently, we were going downstairs again.Only this time, Althea wasn't the only child determined to come with us.The moment I picked her up, she reached for Riot.Not Xander.Riot.At first, I thought she simply wanted her brother.That wasn't unusual. The three of them were almost always together.But when Sol tried to take Riot back to the nursery, Althea grabbed his little hand with both of hers and refused to let go."Althea," I said gently. "Riot can stay upstairs."She glared at me.Actually glared.Riot, completely unaware that he was apparently essential to whatever ancient mystery awaited us, laughed and tried to grab his sister's hair.Chaos crouched in front of them."Little Queen, does Riot need to come?"Althea nodded.Immediately.Sol sighed."Of course he does."He picked Riot up."I don't suppose you'd like to tell us why?"Althea stared at him.Sol stared back.Nothing."Wonderful conversation."Chaos laughed.So our strange little expedition consisted o

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Chaos Reborn

    Aella POVI don't know how long Althea remained connected to the stone.Seconds.Minutes.Hours.Time had stopped meaning anything inside that cavern.I remained beside her the entire time, one arm around her little body while colors continued flowing across the cave walls.Then, finally...Her hands separated from the stone.I exhaled so sharply my chest hurt."Althea."I immediately reached for her.But the stone pulsed.Once.Twice.Then brighter than ever.The entire cavern filled with silver light.A portal ripped open directly above the lake."What—"Althea floated upward."Absolutely not!"I jumped after her.She disappeared through the portal.I caught her ankle at the last possible second, pulled her against my chest—And the portal swallowed me too.The world spun.Then my feet hit solid ground.I stumbled forward, clutching Althea tightly."Do not do that again."She giggled.Of course she did.Then I looked up.Everyone was there.Sol.Hunter.Marcus.Pamela.Queen Samanth
