Audrey's POV

Living with three bonded mates at a racing academy was never quiet. Between investigating my father’s murder and dealing with a surprise guest, "normal" was hard to find.

But today was normal.

It started with Luca stealing my coffee. He didn't do it by mistake. He looked me right in the eye, picked up my cup, and took a sip.

"That's mine," I said.

"Yours is right there." He pointed at the machine where a new cup was brewing.

"That one isn't ready yet."

"This one is." He looked tota

  • Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy    Adrian has something to say

    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

  • Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy    Adrian Doesn't Say Things. Until He Does

    .Audrey's POVThe drama started because of a rune.Not a dramatic rune. Not a Nexus-level spatial displacement situation. A small, ordinary stabilizing rune that Adrian had etched into the doorframe of the garage back in October, one of about forty he'd quietly placed around the villa without telling anyone, and which had apparently been slowly degrading for weeks because nobody had recalibrated it.She found out because the garage light started flickering at eleven PM on a Tuesday and Adrian appeared from nowhere in his dark grey sweater with a kit she'd never seen before and crouched at the doorframe like he'd been expecting this.She leaned against the Hellcat and watched him work.That was the thing about Adrian that had taken her the longest to understand. He showed up. Not loudly, not with announcement, not in the Theo way that filled every room he entered. Just — quietly, consistently, in the specific place where something needed doing. The coffee at the right temperature. The

    Audrey's POVLuca asked me to dinner on a Wednesday morning, which was an unremarkable time for a remarkable thing.I was under the Hellcat. Not fixing anything specific — just doing the check I did every few days, hands on the components, making sure everything was where it was supposed to be. It

    Theo's POVThe playlist was a mistake.Not in the way that most of my mistakes were mistakes — loud, immediate, usually involving a rune going wrong or a tool ending up somewhere it shouldn't. This was a quiet mistake. A private one. The kind you make slowly over several weeks without noticing unti

    Audrey's POVRaphael called back in forty seconds.I know because I counted. I was standing in the kitchen with cold food going colder on the counter and three boys watching me with the specific attention of people who had heard half a dropped call and were doing the math, and I counted forty secon

    Theo's POVIn my defense, the ward instruction manual was in Old Norse.Not modern Norse. Old Norse. The kind that hadn't been in common usage since approximately the eleventh century and which I read at an intermediate level on a good day, and today was not a good day because I'd been up since fiv
