Novel & Cerita Driven

Oh… Mara, what a cruel fate you suffered. “Drive faster,” he ordered. “I can’t wait to have a taste of her.” Adrian, or whoever was driving, pressed hard on the pedal, and the car ran at the highest limit… off to the SilverHowl Pack.

Our hearts pound out a frantic rhythm, a chaotic symphony underscored by the fear of discovery. "Drive," I mouth silently, unable to trust my voice. Jack nods, his hands finding the ignition with an urgency that betrays his calm exterior. The keys jingle, a tiny sound magnified to a roar in the quiet that has descended upon us. He turns them, and the engine sputters to life, breaking the spell of Ryan's scrutiny.

She gritted her teeth and yanked a pink USB drive from her neck. “This…this is the ‘Beast Mode’ key for that car…” she said, trembling. “That arms dealer said, unless it’s the end of the world, never…never use it…” Jack snatched the USB drive and plugged it into the control panel in the driver’s seat.

It was fed, it was strong, and it was driving the car. THE END.

Charlie and Nick drove with him and Nataly was next to me on her Aprilia RSV 1000R. I saw the light ahead turn green and I swung into the next lane and sped up. I cruised next to the window where Charlie sat and he lowered it. I glanced at him and lifted the front tire of the bike, sped up and raced through the green light toward Nataly’s apartment. She didn’t stand a chance at keeping up and I waited for five minutes before she arrived. Joshua’s car slowed next to the curb four minutes after her. “Show off,” Charlie said.

Irene exclaimed, glancing at her rearview mirror before continuing to drive. With a start, Irene's focus snapped back to the road ahead, her heart racing slightly from the unexpected jolt. She accelerated and merged into the moving traffic, grateful that the traffic jam was finally easing. As she drove, she couldn't help but steal another glance at the black sedan, wondering if the man inside had even noticed her distraction.

“I’m in the secured room off of Ethan’s office. I can hear them fighting in the pack house though. Kev is out there. I can’t hear him though and I don’t want to distract him by reaching out through the link.” My eyes narrowed in on the turn to take onto their territory. Holding tight, I started the turn early. The wheels, very loudly, protested against the sudden shift in trajectory. The whole back end of the car started to fishtailed but this car was a rear-wheel drive. Once I managed to lock in the wheels, the drift helped us continue down the road and I felt the shift of the territory in matter of minutes.

Not now. The city blurred past the car windows as Adrian drove, the engine a constant roar beneath the tense silence of his racing thoughts. His hands gripped the wheel with white-knuckled intensity, eyes fixed straight ahead, mind calculating, planning, fearing. Each red light, each honking horn, felt like an obstacle in his path to ensure his family’s safety. He whispered under his breath, words barely audible over the engine, “Elena… Aria… where are you?” The repetition of their names grounded him, giving shape to his panic but also focusing it into something purposeful.

-ADRIAN POV- I've built my career on the principle that control is everything. It's the only thing that separates the people who succeed from the people who get swept away by circumstance and emotion. Control is knowing exactly what will happen before it happens. Control is building systems that work regardless of external chaos. Control is keeping the world at arm's length so nothing can touch what I've carefully constructed. And I'm very, very good at control. Which is why the assignment Marcus just handed me is simultaneously the most strategic opportunity of my career and the most genuinely irritating thing that's happened to me in months.
