Sol refused to stay in the infirmary another hour. The moment the King’s back was turned to consult with the High Healer, Sol was on his feet, his jaw set in that familiar line of stubborn pride despite the paleness of his skin.

"I am not spending the night in a room that smells like antiseptic and defeat," he grumbled, though I could see the slight tremor in his hands as he reached for his discarded tunic.

I sighed, stepping in to steady him. I hooked my arm through his, providing a solid anch

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Remember

    Chapter — The Castle TeachesAella POVThe shelves moved.Not subtly.Entire rows of books slid aside, gliding across the floor with perfect precision until the center of the library stood completely open. Tables rolled back on their own. Chairs tucked themselves neatly against the walls. Floating lights gathered overhead, brightening the cleared space until it felt less like a library and more like a lesson waiting to begin.I remained seated for one stunned heartbeat.Then I stood.“Of course,” I muttered. “Why would anything in my life ever come with normal instructions?”Chaos looked delighted.“Oh, this is new.”Order folded his arms.“No. This is efficient.”A sound like old wood creaking filled the room.I looked up.A large school board descended from the ceiling on silver chains, stopping directly above the cleared floor. It swayed once, then stilled. Chalk appeared from nowhere and hovered in front of it.Then it began to write by itself.White letters scratched across the d

    Whenever one problem ended, this place seemed determined to answer with books.Chaos perked up.“Oh, excellent. Research montage.”Sol, however, had already moved to another line of thought.He looked toward the private doors leading back to our chambers.“What about the portal in our room?”All eyes turned to him.He continued.“If Beatriz and other doctors need to come, can they use the portal there and enter through the void?”For one heartbeat, the idea seemed brilliant.Close.Direct.Private.Then both Chaos and Order answered at the same time.“No.”Sol frowned.“Why not?”Chaos spread his hands dramatically.“Because your castle is possessive.”Order was more precise.“Because your castle will not allow anyone access to your room.”I blinked.“My room?”“Your room,” Order corrected. “Plural. Yours and Sol’s.”Chaos nodded solemnly.“It has categorized that entire wing as protected territory.”The central queen tried and failed to hide a smile.The second queen did not bother t

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Mild screaming

    Aella POVI looked between them all, then toward the mirror standing across the room.The same mirror Sol and I had used the first time we left.An idea struck fast enough that I spoke before anyone else could.“Can we bring them over using the mirror Sol and I used the first time?”For one hopeful second, no one answered.Then the middle queen sighed.Queen Alors.It was not an irritated sigh.It was the sigh of someone who had watched many people discover that magic still came with inconvenient rules.“Child,” she said gently, “it is not so easy.”My shoulders dropped.Of course it wasn’t.Nothing had been easy since the day I learned my life belonged to several realms at once.Queen Alors stepped closer to the mirror, her fingers hovering over its frame.“The mirror is a passage for the bound and the recognized,” she explained. “It responded to your crowns, your bond, your inheritance.”She looked back at me.“It was never meant to be used as a transport gate for anyone you please.

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   What next?

    Aella POVI sighed.It was not elegant. Not regal. Not the controlled exhale of a queen receiving difficult counsel.It was the sigh of a tired pregnant woman on her honeymoon who had somehow inherited ancient political disasters, prophetic children, and the responsibility of stopping a broken man with godlike ambition.“What next?” I asked.The question fell into the room heavier than I intended.Because I was not asking only about Elias.I was asking about the babies.About safety.About where we should stay.About what future we were actually building now that every answer seemed to create three new dangers.No one spoke immediately.The queens looked thoughtful. Chaos looked intrigued. Order looked, somehow, more Order than usual.Then Sol answered.He stepped closer until his shoulder brushed mine, grounding me with simple contact before he spoke.“Maybe,” he said carefully, “it would be best to stop thinking about leaving.”I turned toward him.He held my gaze steadily.“Instead

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   What killed his soul

    Aella POVNow that Chaos and Order were there, and no one had yet stormed out or transformed the room into a battlefield, I decided to use the opportunity.I looked at the queens first, then at Chaos, then at Order.“While everyone is gathered,” I said, “I’m sharing what the queens told us about Elias.”Chaos immediately sat in a chair that had not existed a second earlier. Order remained standing. The queens straightened. Sol moved behind me, one hand resting lightly at my waist.I recounted everything.Darius.The murders during eclipses.Marissa.The public cruelty.The second chance mate.The exile.The sanctuary gates closed against him.The original purpose of the Eclipse group before it became something twisted.No one interrupted. Even Chaos listened without theatrics.When I finished, I looked directly at him.“I understand how Elias was broken,” I said quietly. “But I still don’t understand how the man we saw passing the void’s trials became what he is now.”The room grew st

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   One More Secret

    Aella POVSilence still lingered after the queen’s revelation.Heirs of the sanctuary.The words moved through me like prophecy and comfort all at once. I could feel Sol thinking beside me, weighing risk against wonder, practicality against possibility.But another thought struck harder.Sharp.Immediate.I turned slowly toward Chaos and Order.Both of them froze in the subtle way powerful beings do when they realize they are about to be questioned.I narrowed my eyes.“How is it,” I asked carefully, “that you two can access the sanctuary?”Chaos smiled too quickly.“Excellent weather today.”“No.”I took one step forward.“The queen just said Sol and I needed portals to come here.”I pointed between them.“So how are you walking in and out of this place whenever you feel like it?”Order looked at Chaos.Chaos looked at the ceiling.The three queens became visibly interested.The second queen actually pulled a chair closer and sat down.“Oh, I’d like to hear this.”The healer queen fo

    We walked quickly toward the access doors of the Silver Tower. Bruno—the Tiger Alpha—was already speaking into his comms, his voice clipped and controlled. “Monarchs have arrived. Repeat—Monarchs have arrived. Maintain barricade positions. No one breaks formation without direct authorization.”

    Pamela stepped forward, her face pale beneath the smears of soot and blood. Her hands were shaking—not from fear, but from sheer, baffled frustration."Again?" she hissed, looking between Linus and the empty horizon. "He was half-dead when we left the site! Sol practically charred his lungs and I s

    The transition from "Ascended Monarchs" to "starving shifters" happened remarkably fast. For hours, we were buried in vellum and leather. We moved through stacks of ancient scrolls, but it seemed the Great Library of the Queens had a sense of humor—or a very mundane side. We found "The Little Drag

    The castle halls were silent, but the walls themselves seemed to vibrate with a hum of recognition. We didn't find ghosts or monsters; we found the truth.In the heart of the great hall, massive tapestries and stone friezes stretched from the floor to the vaulted ceiling, glowing with an internal l
