The battlefield roared around me.

Explosions.

Clashing steel.

Screams that blurred into something almost unrecognizable.

And yet—

I couldn’t focus on any of it.

Because I knew.

This wasn’t the real fight.

I stood still for just a moment, letting the chaos pass around me like a current in a river.

Sol was a few feet ahead, golden energy flaring around him as he redirected another wave of explosives, his movements sharp, controlled, unstoppable.

Marcus and Linus held the line to the left.

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Opening the Gate

    Aella POVI turned toward my essence, the urgency returning all at once now that Sol was finally here with me.“How do we do this?” I asked. “Because we need to grant access right now.”The moment the words left my mouth, both essences exchanged a look.Not worried.Knowing.My essence stepped forward first, the shimmering air around her shifting softly with every movement.“The sanctuary cannot be reached blindly,” she explained. “Not even now.”I frowned slightly.“Then how do we bring someone here?”“You anchor them.”The answer came from Sol’s essence.I turned toward him.“To open the sanctuary to another person,” he continued calmly, “one of you must remain connected to it while the other walks the outside world.”Understanding clicked immediately.My gaze snapped toward Sol.“No.”His expression shifted instantly.“Aella—”“You just got here.”“And Beatriz is needed now.”The words landed heavily between us.Because he was right.I hated that he was right.The babies shifted fa

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The King Beside Me

    Aella POVSol did it.The realization settled over me slowly, almost too large to fully grasp at first.He had actually done it.Not because someone guided him there.Not because the castle opened the way for him.Not because I pulled him through the bond.He found his own path.And standing there now, in the middle of that glittering clearing, I could feel the difference.Something about him had changed.Not dramatically.Not in a way the eye would immediately notice.But I felt it.In the way the air moved around him.In the calmness radiating from his body.In the steadiness of his power.His aura had changed.Before, Sol’s presence had always felt warm, intense, burning like fire barely contained beneath skin and bone. Even when calm, there had always been heat beneath the surface, something restless, something constantly pushing forward.Now—Now there was balance.The cold blue and silver power flowing through him softened the flames without extinguishing them. The fire remained

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   A choice

    Sol POVI let everything go.The noise. The urgency. The need to catch up.For the first time since Aella disappeared, I stopped chasing.I stood in the center of my memories, surrounded by every moment that had shaped me, and instead of measuring them, instead of judging them—I accepted them.All of it.The loss. The rage. The responsibility. The choices I had made and the ones that had been forced upon me.I closed my eyes.And I listened.At first, there was nothing.Then—A pulse.Faint.Steady.From my chest.From my heart.It wasn’t like the fire I knew. It didn’t roar. It didn’t burn hot and consuming. This was different.Colder.So cold it burned.My breath slowed as I focused on it, letting the sensation expand instead of resisting it.The space around me dissolved, and I found myself standing within my own soul once more.And there it was.My fourth power.It didn’t blaze.It glowed.A deep, shifting mixture of blues and purples, threaded with veins of silver that shimmered

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Path That Was Always Mine

    Sol POVI stood there long after the Queen released me.Her words did not fade.They settled.Heavy. Unavoidable.For the first time since Aella stepped into that path, I wasn’t reacting—I was thinking.I turned slowly toward the castle, toward the place that had answered her, chosen her, taken her somewhere I could not reach.“Then tell me,” I said, my voice steady despite the tension coiled inside me, “what do I have to do to meet her?”Silence followed.Then the blackboard lit up.No hesitation. No delay.The words appeared in glowing script.Follow your own path.I let out a slow breath.Of course.Before I could speak again, the ground beneath me shifted. Light spread across the floor, forming a path—different from hers. Not shimmering with that iridescent darkness that belonged only to Aella.This one burned.Gold and red intertwined, alive like flame contained beneath glass.It pulsed once.Like a heartbeat.Waiting.I didn’t hesitate.I stepped forward.The moment my foot touc

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   What You Already Are

    Sol POVI trained harder than I ever had before.Not because I wanted to improve.Because I couldn’t stand still.Because the longer Aella was gone, the harder it became to ignore the pull of the bond, the quiet, muted connection that reminded me she was still there… just out of reach.Ten hours.More than ten hours.Time had stopped outside, but not for me.Not in here.Every second stretched, heavy and relentless, pressing against my patience until it cracked.I pushed myself harder.Meditation. Reading. Repeating the same exercises over and over until my mind stopped fighting me and started listening.But it wasn’t enough.It didn’t feel like enough.The bond flickered faintly again.Distant.Muted.Still there.At least she was still there.I exhaled slowly and stood, running a hand through my hair before turning toward Order.“Can you get me a book?” I asked, my voice rougher than I intended. “Something that teaches me how to match Aella’s power.”The words sat heavy between us.

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   SOL POV - Do Something With It

    Sol POVI stayed seated in front of the path, staring at it as if I could force it to give her back.Then the books dropped.Not gently. Not by accident. They hit the ground in front of me with purpose, the sound echoing through the library like a challenge thrown at my feet. I didn’t need to look up to know who had done it.“Your Majesty,” Order said calmly.I closed my eyes for a second, already feeling my patience thinning.“Wouldn’t it be a better use of your time to learn something and better yourself instead of moping around while you wait for Queen Aella to return?”My jaw tightened as I opened my eyes and looked at him.“Moping?” I repeated, my voice low.Chaos snorted from somewhere behind him. “Oh, he’s definitely moping.”I ignored him and looked down at the books. Their titles stared back at me, heavy with meaning I didn’t want to admit I needed.Advanced Realm Stabilization. Path Forging and Sovereign Access. Soul Gate Theory. Power Integration and Identity Recognition.S

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Sensors

    Maxwell was gone. Truly gone.For a flickering second, a memory I had tried to bury surfaced. I remembered his laughter as a pup, high and bright. I remembered him rolling around in the dirt with Caleb and Jax, four children making a mess of the world. He used to help me in ways no one else dared,

    The announcement arrived via a royal scroll at breakfast: a Medieval Masquerade Gala. Attendance was mandatory for all towers. The King’s decree was clear—this wasn't just a party; it was a showcase of the hierarchy. "A group entrance," Marcus proposed, leaning back with a grin that was all sharp

    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
