Summary
Rumi once heard that if the alpha was the beginning, the beta the middle, then the omega was the end.
She doesn't remember where, maybe some half-remembered scripture or idiom Celine had quoted, maybe somewhere in a book she had read. It was the kind of ancient wisdom that sounded profound the first time but never really stuck, not until you lived it.
Alpha, the first note.
Beta, the bridge.
Omega, the silence, the final note.
It wasn't until she met them that the words stopped being abstract, that the saying suddenly had faces, had meaning beyond theory.
OR
Secrets kept for protection become the thing that destroys. When Rumi's truth comes out during the mission to seal the Honmoon, the three of them are left standing in the wreckage with every wall down and every lie exposed. Now they have to figure out how to be a pack when isolation, control, and self-erasure are the only blueprints they have.

Summary
"You need to call Mira"
Zoey’s eyes narrowed at the mention of Mira’s name.
“I’ll make that promise. But only if you tell me the truth about her too. When you ran out on me last night, you ran to her. You were gone all night and somehow, Mira knew more about it than I did. And now you tell me that she’s the one to call if you’ve lost control of yourself?” Zoey’s voice had started off angry, but the notes of sadness were undeniable at the end.
“Zoey… I can’t tell you. Not everything. About Mira.” Her mouth twisted, not quite a smile. “It’s like how I couldn’t tell you directly that I was a vampire.”
“So Mira’s a vampire too?!”
Rumi huffed softly, a bitterness in her laugh. “No. God, no. Unfortunately, she’s not. But...she’s not human either. She could keep you safe. From me"
Or:
Alt Universe featuring Vampire Rumi, Werewolf Mira, Human Zoey, inspired by a little bit by the movie Twilight and a lot by the spicy snippets written for #polytrix.

Summary
The issue Alicent has with Rhaenyra’s ego is simple—as a driver and a mechanic they have two very different jobs. Alicent’s job is to understand Rhaenyra’s relationship to the car and how it affects the build. Then, she has to accommodate. Alicent is always watching. Every turn of the wheel, every crash, every race start, every press of the pedal, Alicent is watching. It’s her job to count the flecks of rubber flying off the tyres at 360 KM/H. Rhaenyra, despite this, thinks she knows every fucking thing there is to know about her car. Alicent knows you can only see so much from inside. That’s something Rhaenyra refuses to understand.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the most outstanding drivers in the world, with three F1 championships to her name and another season just kicking off. Alicent Hightower is the woman behind the car itself—the Number One Mechanic. Every build goes through her from chassis up. For two years, she's been working with Ferrari—specifically on Rhaenyra's car. The only problem with this is the two of them spend most of their time in the garage trying not to bite each other's heads off.
