Audrey's Pov

The 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 for a second, I forgot why the air in my room felt different. Then I saw Luca. He wasn't in my bed anymore; he was sitting in the armchair by the window, already dressed in a crisp black shirt, sunlight

  • 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 POVAdrian had the thing set up by nine, which honestly was kind of insulting given the scale of what it was about to do.It looked like the inside of a broken radio. Copper, some wires, a few runes etched around the edge. That was it. That was the device that was about to end a criminal e

    Theo's POVThe day after the empire ended, I woke up and immediately had a crisis.Not a real one. A scheduling crisis. Because for the first time in months — actual months — nobody had anywhere to be. No exam, no council summons, no mysterious black box on the doorstep. Just a Saturday. A complete

    Audrey's pov“Back in this bitch” I said out loud to no one. I dropped my bags in the middle of the living room, stood there like an idiot and stared at the tall glass windows of my father's villa.The place smiled like dust and my father's old Arabian perfume, and even though the housekeepers had
