All Chapters of Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Aella POVNobody tells you how exhausted you become after giving birth.Not tired.Not sleepy.Exhausted.Like your body simply decides it has done enough and would very much like to stop existing for a few hours.I barely had enough strength left to hold Xander before another contraction reminded me that we were not done.Not even close.One down.Two to go.Beatriz looked far too cheerful for someone witnessing my suffering."Good news," she announced.Nobody trusted those words anymore."The second baby is coming much faster."I stared at her.Then at Sol.Then back at her."Wonderful."My voice sounded completely dead.Hunter snorted from somewhere near the doorway.Pamela immediately smacked him.The next fifteen minutes blurred together.Pain.Breathing.More pain.Questioning every life decision that led to this moment.Then suddenly—Another cry filled the room.Loud.Strong.Demanding.The sound echoed through the sanctuary.And unlike his brother, who had arrived looking mil

Sol POVI had never been happier in my life.Not when I became Alpha.Not when I inherited the throne.Not when I awakened new powers.Not even when I discovered the sanctuary.None of those moments compared to this.Three tiny cribs sat only a few feet away from me.Three tiny lives.Three miracles.My children.Xander slept peacefully, completely unaware that the sanctuary itself had declared him its future King.Riot occasionally made tiny sounds in his sleep, as if he was already arguing with someone.And Althea...Althea was awake.Again.The little girl stared at the ceiling with wide eyes as if she was analyzing reality itself.Honestly, she reminded me a little of Aella.That thought made me smile.My gaze drifted toward the hospital bed.Aella was asleep.Finally.The labor had taken everything from her.She looked exhausted.Pale.Fragile.And yet somehow more beautiful than ever.Because she had given me something I never thought I would have.A family.A real family.The B

Sol POVThe transition into the Spirit Realm felt wrong.I noticed it immediately.Usually, the realm greeted visitors with colors so vibrant they almost hurt to look at. Streams of energy flowed through the sky like living rivers. The ground shimmered with silver and gold. Souls moved through pathways of light, guided toward their next destination.It had always felt alive.Now?It looked like a gemstone that had lost its sparkle.The colors were still there.Technically.But muted.Faded.As if someone had thrown a gray veil over the entire realm.The silver rivers looked dull.The golden lights seemed weak.Even the sky appeared exhausted.The moment we arrived, Chaos visibly relaxed.Not completely.But enough for me to notice.Hunter immediately frowned."Why do you look relieved?"Chaos released a breath."Because we're not too late."The answer did not make me feel better.Marcus crossed his arms."Care to explain?"Chaos looked around at the dying realm."The damage is severe.

Sol POVThe battle should have resumed immediately.It didn't.Because nobody could process what had just happened.Not Marcus.Not Hunter.Not Chaos.Not me.And certainly not Elias.The ancient monarch stood frozen in the middle of the corrupted chamber, staring at Marcus and me as though he had never truly seen us before.For the first time since I met him, he looked uncertain.Lost.Human.I hated that.Because it would have been easier if he remained a monster.Easier if he had known.Easier if all of this had been another manipulation.Instead, the shock on his face looked real.Painfully real.Unfortunately, reality didn't stop the Spirit Realm from collapsing.The massive diagram beneath us pulsed again.Silver energy flowed toward its center.The walls trembled.Cracks spread across the room.And Elias finally moved.Instinct taking over where reason had failed.Shadows exploded from the floor.Hunter jumped backward immediately.Marcus rolled aside.Chaos cursed.The room da

Sol POVI was done.Completely.Utterly.Done.The revelation should have changed something.Maybe it would have for someone else.Maybe another person would have looked at Elias differently after learning the truth.Maybe they would have felt sympathy.Compassion.Understanding.I didn't.Not anymore.Because none of it mattered.Not really.So what if he didn't know I was his son?So what if he spent centuries believing he couldn't have children?So what if John lied to him?None of that erased what he had done.The Spirit Realm trembled around us.Reality itself was beginning to crack.Silver light leaked from fractures in the air.The room groaned.The entire dimension struggling to remain intact.And somehow Elias still stood there.Still trying to justify himself.Still believing his goals mattered more than everyone else.My patience finally snapped.It didn't matter if he didn't know.He still tried to steal the Spirit Realm.He still stole from the Void.He still manipulated
