Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy The Academy
Audrey's POVThe F1 Academy ran on two things: adrenaline and gossip. Not necessarily in that order.By Thursday morning the Margot situation had evolved past its original shape into something the academy could collectively chew on, which meant it had been combined with at least three other rumors, assigned motivations nobody actually had, and was now apparently part of a larger narrative about Lyon Academy transfer politics that Coach Harlan had to address at morning briefing."Training assignments are final," Coach said, in the tone he used when he wanted everyone to understand the conversation was over before it started. "Miss Duval's reassignment was requested and processed. We're moving on."Nobody moved on.The track at nine AM had a specific energy that wasn't about racing.I noticed it the second I got there. The way people clustered differently than usual, the particular quality of attention that meant everyone was watching something without looking like they were watching i

Audrey's POVI didn't sleep badly. That was the thing I kept turning over at seven AM, staring at the ceiling of my room with the early light doing its thing through the curtains. I'd expected to sleep badly. I'd expected to lie awake running the thirty seconds on a loop — the door opening, Margot's face, Luca's hands on her shoulders already pushing back — but I hadn't. I'd slept fine. Six hours, clean, no loop.Which meant I'd processed it. Which meant I trusted him. Which meant my stomach had finally gotten the memo my brain had been sending for weeks.That should have felt like a complete resolution.It almost did.I got up, pulled on the first hoodie I found — Theo's, obviously, it was always Theo's — and went downstairs.Luca was already in the kitchen. Of course he was. Six forty-five AM and he was at the stove with the timing reference list, the over-engineered eggs, the whole system running like nothing had happened.Except he'd made tea instead of coffee. My tea. The exact t
Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy Surprise Kiss
Luca's POVThe storage room door jammed at six PM, which was the kind of detail that should have made me suspicious immediately, except I was too busy being annoyed about missing dinner to think about it properly.I'd been in the equipment room sorting tactical gear for the next training cycle, alone, because Coach had asked me to do inventory and I'm bad at saying no to direct requests. Margot had come in ten minutes earlier looking for a spare helmet, and somewhere between her finding the helmet and me finishing the last shelf, the door had swung shut and refused to open again."It's the ward," I said, pushing against it a second time. "Academy security wards lock external doors automatically after six. It'll release in the morning or someone has to manually override it from outside.""So we're stuck," Margot said."We're stuck."She didn't seem bothered by this the way I would have liked her to be bothered by it. She sat down on a stack of crates and pulled out her phone, found no

Adrian's POVIsadora found me in the workshop on Thursday, which I should have predicted because she'd been finding me everywhere since Wednesday with the kind of consistency that wasn't accidental."I've been thinking about the rune-suspension idea," she said, setting her bag down on the bench like she'd been invited.She hadn't been invited."It's a flawed concept," I said, not looking up from the panel I was recalibrating. "Rune stabilization requires a fixed reference point. A suspension system is, by definition, in constant motion. The math doesn't hold.""What if the rune moved with the suspension instead of against it?"I stopped what I was doing.It was a good question. That was the problem. Isadora asked good questions, the kind that made me want to actually answer them instead of redirecting her somewhere else, and I'd spent the last day and a half being annoyed at myself for finding her interesting."Theoretically possible," I said. "You'd need a rune that updates its refer
Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy Untimely Crush
Luca's POVCoach Harlan put up the pairing sheet at eight AM and I already knew before I looked.Margot Duval. Black Ridge circuit, full lap, head to head.I stared at the sheet for a second longer than I needed to. Not because I was nervous about the race. I wasn't nervous about races, that wasn't a thing that happened to me anymore, not since September, not since I had three other heartbeats running through my chest at all times telling me I was fine even when my brain hadn't caught up yet.I was nervous about Audrey's face when she saw the sheet."Oh, this is going to be great," Theo said, way too loud, reading over my shoulder. "This is going to be so great.""It's a training exercise," I said."It's a training exercise where you're racing the hot French girl who's been looking at you like you're a problem she wants to solve," Theo said. "Audrey's going to lose her mind.""Audrey is not going to lose her mind.""Audrey is one hundred percent going to lose her mind," Theo said, gri
Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy Competition
Audrey's POVThey arrived on a Wednesday, which felt wrong. Bad news should arrive on a Monday. Mondays were built for it. Wednesdays were supposed to be harmless.I was in the garage when I heard about them. Knee deep in the Hellcat's engine bay, completely content, listening to Theo's playlist through the villa speakers, when Ji-yeon appeared in the doorway with the expression she wore when she had information she knew I wasn't going to like."Three transfers just checked in," she said."Okay," I said, not looking up."From the Lyon Academy."I looked up. Lyon Academy was the other serious racing program in Europe. Smaller than Black Ridge, more selective, better funded. The kind of place that produced drivers who won things."All three?" I said."All three. Mid-year transfer, which apparently the new council approved last week." Ji-yeon leaned against the doorframe. "They're already at the track."I went back to the engine. "And?""And they're gorgeous," Ji-yeon said. "Like, aggres

Vivienne took a breath.It was such a human thing to do that it almost broke Audrey's concentration. She'd spent so many years building a version of her mother in her head — carved from ice and intention, something that didn't require oxygen — that the simple rise and fall of her chest felt like a

Audrey's PovThe door closed behind her with a sound like a verdict.She hadn't heard it open again. She hadn't heard anything—no heels on marble, no rustle of coat fabric. One moment the living room was empty, and the next she was simply there, the way a weather system is simply there when it arri

''Luca’s POV''The villa felt smaller than it had an hour ago. It wasn't the physical dimensions—I knew those by heart, every joist and load-bearing beam—it was the pressure. The air was thick with the scent of Audrey’s mounting panic, a sharp, metallic ozone that tasted like a coming storm.I look

Audrey's PovThe morning didn’t start with a cinematic swell of music or a revelation. It started with the smell of expensive Earl Grey and the sound of a very precise teaspoon clinking against porcelain.I woke up slow, the kind of heavy-limbed warmth that usually only happened after a win, and fo
