Audrey's POV

I noticed it at breakfast.

Nothing dramatic. Just Luca, who had spent the entire previous day existing in whatever room I was in like it was his personal mission, suddenly sitting at the end of the table like I had a restraining order.

I noticed. Said nothing. Made my coffee and watched him pretend to read his phone with the convincing performance of a man who had never once actually been bad at anything and was discovering today was the exception.

Through the bond I felt it. Not p

  • 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

    Adrian's POVThe email landed in his inbox at 6:47 AM, right as the villa kitchen filled with the low hum of the coffee maker and the rustle of Theo raiding the fridge. Adrian read it twice on his laptop screen, the cursor blinking steadily like it was mocking him. Academic probation warning. Sopho

    Audrey's POVThe academy's rest day notification arrived at seven AM as a formal memo, which was exactly the kind of thing that happened at an institution run by supernatural bureaucrats who couldn't even declare a day off without a document.Audrey read it once, put her phone face down, and went b

    Luca's POVShe talked for eleven minutes.Luca knew the exact count because his eyes kept flicking to the glowing clock on the dashboard. Old habit. Eleven minutes from the estate gates until the academy road swallowed them. Audrey’s voice stayed level, almost clinical, laying out everything that h
