Adrian's POV

I hadn't been waiting.

That was the thing I told myself, standing at the window of the villa's front room with a book I hadn't read a single page of in forty minutes. I hadn't been waiting. I'd been there first, already settled, already doing something that had nothing to do with the fact that Audrey had left with Raphael two hours ago and hadn't come back.

I heard the gate.

I didn't move toward the window. I was already at the window. That was different.

They were walking close. N

  • Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy    Chapter 56

    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 five AM thinking about what Zara Osei had said to Audrey in the courtyard and what it meant and why it had made Audrey's face do the thing it did when she was filing something under handle later with extreme urgency.So when I activated the reinforcement sequence on the villa's isolation ward and the runes locked in the wrong order and the ward sealed itself with all three of us inside, I want to be clear that this was a translation error and not a competence error, which are categorically different things."Theo," Luca said, from the doorway."I know," I said."The ward is—""Sealed. Yes. I know.""For how long.""Twenty-four hours," I said. "Unless I can find the release sequence, which is al

    The scent of fresh snow and burnt rubber is a weirdly specific vibe, but it was the official fragrance of the January intake at the Black Ridge Academy. Most years, the mid-term transfers were a handful of strays—kids whose packs had moved or who’d been kicked out of lesser schools for "disciplinary lapses." Usually, they spent their first week looking terrified and trying not to get mauled during combat practice.This year, we got Zara Osei.Zara didn't look terrified. She looked like she owned the mountain and was just waiting for the rest of us to realize it. She was from the London supernatural circuit—a world of polished silver, high-stakes underground racing, and pureblood politics that made our rugged academy look like a summer camp.Within forty-eight hours, she had effectively set the school on fire without using a single match."Did you see the board?" Theo asked, leaning against my locker with a grin that was far too wide for ten in the morning. He smelled like peppermint a

  • Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy    Chapter 54: Just a normal Tuesday

    Luca's POVTheo bought a go-kart.Not a racing go-kart. Not a serious piece of equipment with a purpose and a justification. A recreational go-kart, electric blue, with a horn that played a seven-second clip of what I was told was a popular song, which he drove through the academy car park at eleven PM on a Thursday making that sound repeatedly until Adrian appeared at the villa window and told him to stop.He did not stop."Where did you get that," I said, when he finally came inside, hair wrecked, completely unbothered."Online," he said."You bought a go-kart online.""It was on sale.""Theo.""It was significantly on sale," he said. "It would have been irresponsible not to."I looked at Audrey, who was sitting on the kitchen counter watching this unfold with the expression of someone who was absolutely going to ask for a turn and was calculating how long to wait before asking."Don't," I said."I haven't said anything," she said."You're thinking loudly.""That's not a thing.""It

    The gym echoed with the sharp whistles of Coach Harlan and the thud of sneakers on polished wood. I stood at the center of the sparring circle, sweat slicking my ponytail to my neck, trying to focus on the drill. Three senior wolves circled me—standard academy exercise for control under pressure. My trybrid blood had been humming all week, a restless vibration beneath my skin that no amount of meditation or rune-work could quiet."Again!" Coach barked. "Audrey, hold the line. Don't let them flank."I nodded, but the vibration surged. It wasn't the familiar spark of my witch fire or the cold pull of my Werewolf speed. This was deeper, like three rivers crashing together into something new and hungry. One wolf lunged. I sidestepped, but my hand came up instinctively. Instead of a shield of blue witch-light, something else ripped free.The air cracked. A pulse of raw energy exploded outward—not fire, not shadow, but a rippling wave that folded space itself. The three wolves froze mid-lea

    Theo's POVI noticed it first on Tuesday.This was not surprising. I noticed most things first, which was either a gift or a curse depending on the day and the thing being noticed. Luca noticed threats. Adrian noticed feelings people were trying to hide. I noticed everything else, which covered a significant amount of territory and occasionally kept me up at night.Tuesday was the toast incident.Not the original toast incident, which had become something of a foundational text in the villa's shared mythology. This was a new toast incident, distinct and alarming in its own right.Audrey was making breakfast. Standard Tuesday morning, nothing unusual — she was in her oversized academy hoodie with her hair doing the thing it did when she hadn't decided what to do with it yet, which was approximately everything simultaneously. She put bread in the toaster. She turned around to get the coffee. The toaster, which was a normal toaster with no supernatural modifications that I was aware of,

I hadn't been waiting.

I was already at the window. That was different.They were walking close. Not touching — there was a foot of space between them, reasonable, normal — but with the specific ease of two people who had just spent several hours in each other's company and had not found it difficult. Raphael was saying something. Audrey's head tilted slightly in the way it did when she was listening properly, not just waiting for her turn.I set the book down.Outside, they stopped at the villa steps. Raphael said something else. Audrey laughed — the real one, the unplanned kind that she di

  • Driving The Alpha' Brothers Crazy    Chapter 46: Elder Marcus

    Adrian's POVThe shift happened before I hit the bottom step.This was not recommended. Shifting mid-motion at full speed with dress shoes still on was the kind of thing that resulted in destroyed footwear and a very undignified landing, and I managed both with what I felt was admirable efficiency

    Luca's POVMy father arrived at eleven forty-three AM in a black car I recognised because it was the same one that had collected me from every school break for the last six years.I knew it was him before the door opened. The bond told me nothing useful — it wasn't designed for fathers — but someth

    Adrian's POVI walked the last two kilometers of the cliff road.This was not as dramatic as it sounds. My car was in a barrier, the recovery vehicle wasn't coming for another ten minutes, and the finish line was closer on foot than the nearest marshal point. Practical decision. Nothing cinematic a

    Adrian's POV"She knows," Audrey said, through the comms, approximately four seconds after the lights went out."I see her," I said."She was never watching the Hellcat. She was watching me the whole time.""Audrey. Drive.""I am driving, I'm capable of driving and talking simultaneously, I've been
