Aella POV

The moment we stepped out of the Academy—

The world was already burning.

Smoke clawed at the sky in thick, suffocating waves, turning daylight into something dim and sickly. The air tasted like ash and metal, every breath scraping against my throat like broken glass.

And ahead—

War.

The gates were gone.

Not broken.

Not breached.

Gone.

Where reinforced steel and ancient runes had once stood, there was now only twisted debris and a cratered entryway, jagged edges glo

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The wedding is tomorrow

    Aella POV I was pacing.Again.Back and forth across the room, my thoughts louder than anything around me.The wedding.Tomorrow.Tomorrow.It didn’t feel real.It felt rushed.Too fast.Too much.Too—“A walk would help.”I stopped.I turned to look at him.Order stood near the doorway, composed as always, his presence steady, grounding.“A walk?” I repeated.“In the sanctuary,” he clarified. “Your mind is unsettled. The void responds to that.”I exhaled slowly.He wasn’t wrong.Nothing inside me felt quiet.Not after everything.Not after—Everything.“Fine,” I said softly.Before I could overthink it.Before I could stop myself.The world shifted.And I was there.The sanctuary.The air felt different the moment I stepped into it.Lighter.Softer.Safer.This place had become something else to me.Not just a memory.Not just a location.A turning point.I walked slowly, letting my fingers brush against the leaves as I passed, grounding myself in something real.Something simple.F

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   SOL POV Before and after

    The world folded around me in a familiar pull of shadows and light.When it settled, I was standing inside the castle.Chaos appeared beside me almost instantly, hands already raised, eyes gleaming with excitement.“My King,” he said, “I have prepared at least seven different proposal scenarios. Fireworks, floating constellations, a dramatic sky—”“No.”I didn’t even let him finish.“No chaos, no spectacle,” I said firmly. “I need this to be simple.”He studied me for a moment, then smiled.“Ah… this is about her.”“Yes.”That was all the explanation he needed.“Aella?” I called.The castle shifted, guiding me, and a moment later the space changed—The sanctuary.Not a reflection.The real one.She stood a few steps ahead.Calm.Beautiful.Real.“Aella.”She turned, surprise flickering in her eyes before softening.“Sol?”“I need you to take a walk with me.”She studied me briefly, then nodded.We walked side by side through the sanctuary, silence wrapping around us in a way that felt

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   SOL POV The ring 2

    Sol POVEvery eye was on me.“He wants control of the void,” I continued. “And if he cannot claim it through Aella, he will try to use our child.”The room reacted immediately, shock and anger rising again.My father’s expression darkened. “He will not touch that child.”I held his gaze but did not respond.Because this was no longer about promises.“We are not facing a war we understand,” I said. “We are facing someone who has been shaping outcomes for centuries.”I let my words settle before continuing.“He has already lost once,” I added. “And he is not going to make the same mistakes again.”My gaze moved across the room.“So neither can we.”The room remained silent after my last words, the weight of everything settling over them.But we did not have the luxury of staying in that moment.I straightened slightly and continued.“This is not where it ends,” I said. “What we faced today was only part of it.”Their attention sharpened again.“After tomorrow,” I added, “we begin a full

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   SOL POV The ring

    Sol POVI turned to Aella, keeping my expression steady despite everything running through my mind.“I’m going to speak with my parents,” I told her. “About Maxwell. About what’s coming next.”She studied me for a moment, as if trying to read something deeper in my words, but she didn’t question it.“Don’t take long,” she said quietly.“I won’t.”The moment I stepped out of the room, the door closing softly behind me, I exhaled.“Chaos.”He appeared instantly, as if he had been waiting just beyond the threshold.“My King,” he said, a hint of amusement already in his tone.“I need to go to the Silver pack infirmary,” I said. “Marcus is bringing me something.”Chaos tilted his head slightly, studying me for a moment.“The ring,” he said.Not a question.A statement.I didn’t deny it.“Yes.”Something shifted in his expression, something almost approving.“Finally,” he muttered.Before I could respond, the void moved.It wrapped around us, folding space like fabric being drawn together.

    Aella POVWe didn’t assume anything.Not anymore.Sol stepped forward first, testing the threshold of the balcony, trying to walk through it as if it were nothing more than an open doorway.He didn’t cross.His body met resistance—subtle, almost invisible, but undeniable.He frowned slightly and tried again, pressing forward with more intention this time.Nothing.“It’s not a normal passage,” he said, stepping back.I moved forward, reaching out with my hand, letting my fingers brush against the edge of the doorway.It felt real.But also—Blocked.Like a boundary that required something more than physical movement.“It’s a portal,” I said quietly, understanding settling into place. “But it’s not open to just… anyone.”Sol’s gaze shifted to me.“Try it,” he said.I nodded.Closing my eyes briefly, I reached for the void.It responded instantly.Familiar.Obedient.I wrapped it around us, letting it fold over our bodies like a second skin.And then—I stepped forward.This time—We cro

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

    Aella POVSol took my hand, and together we walked back through the hallway, following the same path I had taken before.This time, I didn’t hesitate.When we reached the door—King Aella and King Sol—it opened on its own.I stepped inside.And stopped.The room was enormous.Not just large—Expansive.A round bed stood at the center, elevated slightly, surrounded by soft fabrics that moved almost like they were alive. The colors were muted, calm, a blend of pale blues, soft grays, and warm undertones that immediately reminded me of something familiar.My breath slowed.A river ran through the floor.Clear water flowed gently across smooth stone, dividing the room naturally. On the other side, I could see the bathroom space, open yet intimate, designed with the same soft tones that wrapped around everything else.It wasn’t extravagant in a cold, distant way.It was… intentional.Alive.I took a few steps forward, my eyes taking in every detail.“This…” I said softly, almost to myself

    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

    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 music faded into a lingering chord, and for a moment, the world was just the heat of Sol’s hand in mine. But as we began to step off the floor, the bubble of the dance burst. A tall, broad-shouldered man intercepted us. His hair was a shock of white, and his eyes had the pale, predatory still
