Aella POV

I stepped forward.

The moment my foot touched the path, the world unraveled.

Light burst around me—not blinding, but alive. It shimmered like a storm of stars, wrapping around my body in a cascade of glittering brilliance. It sank into my skin, into my breath, into my very being, until I could no longer tell where I ended and it began.

For a single, suspended heartbeat—

I was nowhere.

Then—

I was somewhere else.

The library was gone.

The castle, the queens, Sol—

All of it vanished as

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Original Timeline

    Aella POVThe room remained painfully silent after my realization.No one wanted to say it out loud.That Elias was not simply trying to destroy kingdoms anymore.He was trying to rebuild reality itself.In his image.Under his control.The babies had finally calmed slightly beneath my ribs after Beatriz practically forced me to sit back down, though Sol refused to move farther than a few inches away from me.His hand remained pressed protectively against my stomach like he needed constant reassurance that all four of us were still here.Still safe.For now.But my mind refused to settle.Because something still bothered me.Something important.I slowly turned toward Sol.“When Maxwell trapped me…”The Bond tightened instantly at the memory.Sol’s expression darkened immediately.Honestly?Fair.I still wanted to throw Maxwell into the void personally.“He mentioned Elias several times,” I continued carefully. “Did he ever tell you anything else?”The room focused on Sol immediately.

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   A little late for that

    Aella POVSol returned less than twenty minutes later.The moment sunlight flashed through the sanctuary halls, I stood up too quickly from the hospital bed, relief slamming into me hard enough that my knees nearly buckled.The Bond steadied instantly.Alive.Safe.Tired.Concerned.Sol looked exhausted when he appeared, his hair slightly disheveled, sunlight still flickering faintly beneath his skin like the power had not fully settled yet.But he was alive.That alone loosened something painfully tight inside my chest.The moment he saw me standing, his expression darkened.“Aella.”His tone carried immediate disapproval.“You were supposed to rest.”I crossed my arms.“You disappeared into another realm.”“Yes, because apparently ancient magical disasters wait for no one.”Honestly?Fair.Still, he moved toward me immediately, placing one hand protectively against my stomach while the other brushed softly against my cheek.Grounding himself.Checking us.The babies shifted instantl

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   now you see me, now you don't

    Aella POVSol reacted immediately.The moment Order mentioned the spirit realm and the stolen book, the exhaustion disappeared from his expression completely.The King surfaced.Focused.Sharp.Dangerously calm.Before I could even process what was happening, Sol leaned down and kissed me quickly, one hand brushing protectively over my stomach.“I’ll be right back,” he murmured softly against my forehead.Then—He vanished.Sunlight flashed once through the sanctuary medical wing.And he was gone.It took less than three seconds.It took me significantly longer to process the fact that he had just left like that.I blinked slowly at the empty space where he had been standing moments before.The Bond still connected us faintly, enough for me to know he was alive and moving quickly, but the sudden absence still left something hollow in my chest.Honestly?Maybe he needed the escape.After everything that happened, after learning Elias was his father and John betrayed him and only Marcus

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   One sided story

    Aella POVIt took all of us to contain Marcus.Literally.At first, he only yelled.Then he paced.Then he started throwing things.A chair shattered against the sanctuary wall hard enough that even the castle dimmed in alarm.“I’m going to kill him!”Marcus’ voice echoed through the sanctuary halls like a storm barely held together.Hunter immediately stepped in front of the doors.“You are absolutely not leaving.”Marcus shoved him hard enough to send Hunter sliding backward several feet.“I’ll find John first,” Marcus hissed. “Then Elias.”His entire body trembled violently with rage.“I want answers.”No one blamed him.Not even Sol.Marcus had just learned that the father who raised him lied to him his entire life while the monster terrorizing the kingdoms was actually his biological father.Honestly?A little property destruction felt reasonable.But Marcus was dangerous when emotional.Always had been.And now that he knew the truth, something about him felt different.Sharper.

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Protecting lies

    Sol POVEverything stopped.Aurora stood near Leo, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. Her face was pale, her eyes wide and wet with tears she was trying not to shed.She looked so young.Too young for this.Too young for bloodlines and betrayal and fathers becoming enemies.My mother gasped softly.“Aurora…”Aurora took a step back.“Is that why I was taken?”Her voice shook.“Why they hid us all, Mom?”Leo stiffened beside her, suddenly looking terrified too.I felt something inside me crack.Because in all my own pain, all my own shock, I had forgotten that they were hearing this too.Children.My siblings.Maybe not Elias’ children.Maybe John’s.Maybe something else entirely.But children, still.And now they were standing in a room full of ancient Queens and broken adults, wondering if the monster who wanted my unborn child might also be their father.My mother moved toward them instinctively.Both Leo and Aurora stepped back.The pain on her face was immediate.But she d

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   A broken Queen

    Sol POVFor a moment, I thought she would refuse to answer.Then she whispered, “Because that was what he asked for in exchange for his silence.”The sanctuary went completely still.Not metaphorically.The air itself stopped moving.Aella’s fingers tightened around mine.Marcus laughed once.Not with humor.With disbelief.“What?”My mother opened her eyes again, tears spilling freely.“John knew,” she whispered.The words hit me like a blade sliding between my ribs.“He knew?” Marcus asked, voice dangerously quiet.She nodded weakly.“He knew you were not his sons.”Marcus staggered backward.I did not move.I could not.“He knew about Elias?” I asked.“Not everything,” she said quickly. “Not at first. I told him I had a mate before him. I told him Elias was dangerous. I told him he could never know about you.”Marcus looked like he might be sick.“And John agreed?” I asked.My mother swallowed.“Yes.”“At a price.”Her face crumpled.“Yes.”The frozen flame inside me stirred, cold

    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

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The arena

    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
