Aella POV

The Sanctuary was unusually lively that morning.

For once, the throne room wasn't filled with discussions about mutants, barriers or bloodlines.

Instead, everyone seemed... excited.

Order had announced the previous evening that Marcus and Pamela were returning from the Spirit Realm.

Even though only a relatively short time had passed for us, the Spirit Realm flowed differently.

For them...

Two years had gone by.

Two years of training.

Two years of learning.

Two years of growing.

    Hunter POVElias snapped.For the first time since I had met him, the man who always seemed to have ten plans prepared completely lost control."No!"He slammed the binding book shut and stretched both hands toward the laboratory's portal."Open!"Nothing happened.Again."OPEN!"The laboratory trembled.His magic surged wildly through the room.Still...No portal appeared.The silver cracks spreading across the gateway only widened.The connection to the ley lines had been severed.The anchor was gone.Molly had done it.Elias staggered backward, breathing heavily.His expression twisted from disbelief into pure rage."You..."He looked directly at us."...what have you done?"I smiled despite the shadows still binding my arms."What you never thought possible."His eyes became bloodshot."You ruined everything!"He threw both hands forward.Shadows exploded across the laboratory.They rushed toward us like a tidal wave.Only...They weren't obeying him completely anymore.The severe

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Last Anchor

    Hunter POVMolly's fingers trembled against my arm.To anyone watching, it looked as though she was simply clutching her hands together in fear.Only I knew the truth.Hidden between her palms...Was the final anchor crystal.It had become so small that even I could barely see it.She was absorbing it.Slowly.Painfully.Far too slowly.I tightened my arms around her as Elias's shadows forced us to our knees.If he noticed...Everything we had endured inside the ley lines would have been for nothing.Around us, the mutants formed a perfect circle.Dozens of them.Some growled.Others watched silently with lifeless eyes.None dared move without Elias's command.The laboratory was unnaturally quiet.Only the soft hum of machinery and the distant breathing of the creatures filled the room.I kept Molly behind me as much as the shadows allowed.She understood immediately.Without looking at me, she pressed the crystal harder into her palm.Keep going.Just a little longer.Elias laughed.

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

    Hunter POVWe waited.One hour.An entire hour without daring to move.Molly and I remained hidden inside the cave, barely breathing as Elias walked through his laboratory.He moved with unsettling calm, stopping at different cages, writing notes, occasionally injecting one of the mutants with another glowing serum.Not once did he look toward the portal.Not once did he suspect we were only a few meters away.I counted every second.Molly counted the mutants.Neither of us spoke.Finally...Elias closed his notebook.He gave a few quiet orders to the creatures nearest him before disappearing through another steel door.We waited another five minutes.Just in case.Only then did I nod."Go."Molly didn't hesitate.She summoned thin streams of water that wrapped around the final crystal still anchoring the portal.Slowly...Carefully...The crystal loosened.It lifted from the stone.She caught it before it could fall.We both looked toward the portal.Nothing.The shimmering gateway r

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Right Portal

    Hunter POVIt took us eight days.Eight days of following Molly's maps.Eight days of crossing worlds that had nothing to do with ours.Eight days of hoping each green and yellow tunnel would finally be the right one.On the morning of the ninth day...We found it.The moment we stepped into the mouth of the cave, I felt it.The air.The smell.Decay.Blood.Chemicals.I immediately grabbed Molly's arm."Wait."She nodded silently.We crouched near the entrance and carefully looked through the portal.Neither of us spoke.We didn't need to.Monsters.Dozens of them.Mutants.Some slept inside enormous cages.Others wandered aimlessly between metal tables.Several were chained to the walls.This was one of Elias's laboratories.We had finally found the portal connected to the antenna."Elias..."Molly whispered."I don't see him.""Neither do I."Which didn't make me feel any better.If he wasn't here...He could return at any moment.I slowly studied the cave surrounding the portal.U

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Mapping the Ley Lines

    Hunter POVA week.We spent an entire week walking through the ley lines.One week of glowing tunnels.One week of impossible worlds.One week of opening portal after portal, hoping the next one would finally be the one connected to Elias.It never was.Each cave revealed another reality.Another history.Another version of what shifters could become.The ley lines truly connected worlds.Not kingdoms.Worlds.And each portal felt stable, as though it had existed for thousands of years.The realization made me even more determined not to destroy the wrong one.The first portal we entered that week was unlike anything either of us had imagined.The cave glowed with a soft green light.We carefully stepped close enough to look through.Towering buildings stretched into the clouds.Metal.Glass.Lights.Hundreds of strange vehicles flew silently through the sky.People hurried through the streets carrying glowing devices in their hands.No wolves.No dragons.No bears.Nothing.We watche

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Caves of Time

    Hunter POVThe moment Molly and I stepped through the waterfall...The world changed.The deafening roar of the water disappeared behind us as though someone had closed a door.I turned around instinctively.The waterfall was still there.Flowing endlessly.But from this side...Not a single drop entered the cavern.It formed a perfect curtain of shimmering light, separating whatever lay beyond from the place we now stood."So..."Molly whispered."There really was something behind it."I nodded slowly."I don't think that waterfall was ever the exit."We stood inside a wide cavern unlike any we had seen before.The walls were smooth, almost polished, covered with veins of glowing crystal.Unlike the tunnels behind us, however...These crystals weren't all the same color.Several passages branched away from the central chamber.Each one glowed with a different light.One shimmered blue.Another green.One burned with crimson light.A violet tunnel twisted sharply to the left.Farther
