Chapter — The Mothers of the Castle

Aella POV

Apparently, the castle could sense urgency.

And desperation.

Because the moment the thought fully formed in my mind—we need help, we need answers, we need to be ready—the library reacted.

Books began moving.

At first it was only one shelf. Then another. Then an entire section of the room shifted with elegant precision. Volumes slid free on their own, scrolls unrolled in midair, ladders glided across rails, and stacks of books floated from distant co

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   A new home

    The moment we stepped through, we found Marcus standing in the center of the Academy courtyard.His face was pale.His breathing was uneven.In his arms, he held a young woman no older than nineteen.She clung to him, trembling uncontrollably.Around them, students were gathered in frightened silence.Hunter and Molly were already securing the area while professors calmly ushered the other students back inside the Academy buildings.Marcus looked at us."She's safe."I immediately knelt beside the young woman."What happened?"She struggled to breathe for several seconds before forcing herself to answer."I..."Her voice shook."I was walking back from the eastern gardens.""I knew about Elias.""I knew what to do if I ever saw him."She closed her eyes tightly."So I fought."Her hands began trembling again."I used my bloodline.""It... disappeared."I frowned."What do you mean?"She looked directly at me."His shadows...""They wrapped around me.""They weren't only holding my bod

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   No Place Is Untouchable

    Aella POVThe attack came three nights after our children shifted.There was no warning.No eclipse.No announcement.One moment, Sol and I were reviewing evacuation reports inside the Sanctuary's council chamber.The next...Every crystal chandelier flickered.A deep vibration spread beneath our feet.Not through the castle.Through the Sanctuary itself.Queen Genoviva appeared immediately, her usually peaceful expression filled with concern."Someone is trying to force their way into the Sanctuary."The room fell silent.The Sanctuary did not exist in the physical world.It rested in another plane of existence, hidden from every kingdom.No one should even be capable of touching it.We hurried into the Hall of Mirrors.At the center of the room stood the Ancient Mirror, the artifact that allowed the Sanctuary to observe the outside world without revealing its own location.The surface of the mirror rippled.Then...We saw him.Elias.He floated in the empty sky where the Sanctuary

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Sweet return

    Aella POVThat night, I returned to the Sanctuary.For the first time in days...I simply wanted to hold my babies.Queen Genoviva was already waiting for us.She was no longer truly alive, not in the way the rest of us were.She had become something beyond that—a spirit bound to the Sanctuary itself. Yet her presence was as warm and comforting as ever."I have witnessed many strange things across the ages," she said with a gentle smile."But tonight... something feels different."The nursery was peaceful.Xander was sitting on the floor, carefully stacking wooden blocks.Althea was turning the pages of an old picture book, studying every illustration as if she could somehow understand every word.Riot was trying very hard to climb onto a chair far too large for him.Three perfectly ordinary babies.Then...A pulse of magic spread through the room.Every protective rune carved into the nursery walls glowed.I immediately looked toward Sol."Did you feel that?"He nodded.Before either

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   What Was Lost

    Aella POVThe Academy no longer resembled a school.It had become a city.Thousands of shifters now lived behind the protection barriers.Tents filled every open field.Dormitories overflowed.Training grounds remained occupied from sunrise until long after sunset.The constant noise of children laughing, warriors sparring, healers shouting instructions, and construction crews expanding the Academy somehow created an odd sense of hope.Life continued.Even during war.Sol had become busier than anyone.Every morning before dawn he stood on the largest training field, facing hundreds of Alphas.Some had ruled their packs for decades.Some had never answered to anyone.Now...They answered to him."Again!"His voice echoed across the field."No.""Your title means nothing here.""You are warriors before you are Alphas."One older Alpha frowned."I've commanded my pack for thirty years.""And today," Sol replied without raising his voice, "I'm commanding you."The training resumed immedi

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The First Night

    Aella POVThe first thing we confirmed was both reassuring and terrifying.The Void remained untouched.Every mate bond inside my kingdom was exactly as it had always been.Not a single connection had weakened.Not a single pair reported feeling the emptiness that plagued the outside world.The Sanctuary reported the same.Queen Genoviva personally contacted us before dawn."The bonds are stable."She sounded exhausted, but relieved."Not one has been affected."Order quietly wrote another note into his growing journal."Protected territories are isolated from Elias' influence."Chaos crossed his arms."So the barriers are working.""They are."I nodded."But he's never been interested in attacking where we're strongest."A heavy silence followed.We all knew what that meant.He would strike somewhere else.He didn't make us wait.The attack came that very night.Communication crystals began ringing one after another.The first report arrived just after midnight."Alpha River Pack req

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Earth's Bond

    Aella POVThe following days became a series of experiments.There was no other choice.If we wanted to understand what Elias had done, we had to stop reacting and start observing.Order and Chaos coordinated the tests while Sol and I volunteered alongside several mated couples from the Academy.The first experiment was the simplest.Both mates stood inside the protection dome."How does it feel?" Order asked.The Luna smiled immediately."Normal."The Alpha nodded."The bond is exactly as it has always been."Order carefully wrote the results into one of the Sanctuary's records."Good.""Next."The couple walked toward the edge of the barrier.The Alpha remained inside.The Luna stepped outside.The reaction was immediate.She gasped softly."My bond..."The Alpha closed his eyes."I can still feel her.""But..."He searched for the words."...it's behind a wall."The Luna nodded."I know where he is.""I just can't reach him."Again.Blocked.Not broken.Order looked pleased."The p
