Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King Bloodlines
Aella POVNobody spoke for several moments.The ancient book rested on the table before us, its yellowed pages almost glowing under the Sanctuary's light.Althea, satisfied that she had accomplished whatever mysterious task she had set for herself, leaned comfortably against my shoulder while watching us with unusually bright eyes.I kissed the top of her head."You knew this was the one, didn't you?"She smiled.Not a baby's smile.A knowing one.Sometimes I wondered if our children understood far more than they could express.I carefully opened the first chapter.The book was unlike any genealogy I had ever seen.It wasn't organized by kingdoms.Nor by families.Instead, it catalogued magical bloodlines.Their origins.Their gifts.Their evolution through the centuries.Some abilities had strengthened.Others had disappeared entirely.Some had merged into different families after generations of marriages.The author had meticulously tracked every known hereditary gift.Order moved c
Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King A Queen's Jealousy
Aella POVThe attention stayed on Xander.Not intentionally.No one was praising him.If anything, everyone looked mildly terrified that my son had accidentally developed the ability to summon people across realms.Still...He had become the center of every conversation.Apparently, that was unacceptable.At least according to my other two children.Riot was the first to protest.The little menace, who until recently had only been crawling and climbing, suddenly decided that walking was beneath him.Running, however...Running was perfect.He took off across the infirmary with a delighted squeal."Aurora!" Queen Samantha called.My eleven-year-old sister-in-law gasped."Oh no."Riot disappeared beneath one bed.Aurora dove after him.The little boy emerged from the other side laughing triumphantly."You little monster!" Aurora cried as she chased him around the room.Riot only laughed harder.Hunter, still lying in bed with his head wrapped in bandages, watched the chase with wide eye
Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King Called Home
Aella POVThe laughter slowly faded.Poor Hunter still looked thoroughly offended, his head wrapped in enough bandages to make him resemble an oversized mummy.Xander, meanwhile, floated happily around the infirmary, completely unaware that he had just become the center of one of the strangest rescue operations in history.I opened my arms."Come here."The little boy immediately floated into them, smiling as though he hadn't accidentally dropped my aide headfirst onto the Sanctuary's throne.I kissed the top of his head."You scared me."He blinked those bright little eyes at me.Then placed both tiny hands against my cheeks.The familiar warmth spread through our bond.Not our mate bond.Our mother and child bond.It wasn't words.Not exactly.More like emotions wrapped around images.A feeling.A memory.A thought.Everyone around us grew quiet.Chaos tilted his head."He's trying to explain."I closed my eyes.The images became clearer.Darkness.A forest.Hunter walking ahead.Th
Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King An Unexpected Rescue
Aella POV"Hunter!"The word tore itself from my throat as the portal snapped shut.One second he had been smiling at us.The next...Gone."No!" Sol tried to stand, but the moment he pushed himself off the ground, his knees buckled. I wasn't doing any better.The sixteen-hour ritual had left us with barely enough strength to breathe, much less fight.I planted my hands against the earth and tried again.Nothing.My arms trembled violently before giving out.We both collapsed back onto the grass.Chaos was already beside us."Don't move.""We have to—" Sol protested."You can't," Order interrupted.For once, neither spirit sounded calm.Hunter had been taken.Order looked toward the place where the portal had appeared, his expression unreadable."There is no residual magic.""What?" I whispered."It disappeared completely."Chaos cursed under his breath.Without another word, the two spirits placed a hand on each of us.The world blurred.The Sanctuary.We reappeared inside the throne
Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King The Trap Springs
Aella POVFive hours.Five hours of walking.Five hours of bleeding into the earth.Five hours of repeating ancient vows until the words no longer felt like words, but part of my breathing.Step.Blood.Promise.Step.Blood.Promise.The ritual had become almost hypnotic.My palm no longer hurt.It had gone numb hours ago.The earth beneath our feet glowed faintly wherever our blood touched it, ancient runes awakening one by one as the Academy slowly accepted our oath of protection.Order's prism light continued to bend around Sol and me.To anyone watching, the forest appeared completely empty.Only the footprints forming in the dirt betrayed that someone had passed.Even those disappeared moments later.At the five-hour mark, fatigue finally began catching up with us.My shoulders ached.My legs felt heavy.Every step required conscious effort.I could feel the same exhaustion through the Bond.Sol was hiding it.Poorly.Ahead of us, Hunter and Chaos continued walking as if nothing
Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King The Second Barrier
Aella POVThe Academy adapted.It wasn't something I wanted to admire.Most of the students were between fifteen and twenty-two years old. They were no longer children, but they were still far too young to become accustomed to war.Yet that was exactly what was happening.The Academy had become a fortress.Not because of its walls.Because of its students.As Sol and I walked through the campus after the attack, I watched the future leaders of the shifter world doing exactly what they had been trained to do.Senior Alpha students organized defensive patrols around the damaged buildings.Older Beta students established communication stations, handing out phones so younger students could contact their families and reassure them they were alive.Gamma trainees coordinated supplies, distributing food, water, blankets and first aid equipment while directing volunteers toward the infirmary.The warrior cadets were already rebuilding barricades and repairing defensive positions.No one had o
Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King A dragons rejection
Two months had passed since the cafeteria incident, and the hierarchy of the Imperial Tower had shifted permanently. Amelie had leaned fully into her "victim" persona, limping through the halls and wearing silk scarves to hide bruises that had long since healed. She whispered to anyone who would li

The arena was a theater of carnage. Maxwell stood on the sands, his chest heaving, his wolf pushing so hard against his skin that his eyes were a constant, unstable amber. Sol stood opposite him, calm and immovable. Before the first blow was struck, Pamela stepped onto the lower ridge of the stand

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

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,
