Summary
He knew how that city worked, he had been warned over and over again, and he had come prepared, aware of what he would have to face when he accepted the job.
‘Gotham is dangerous, you can't trust anyone.’Charles certainly wasn't there to make friends.

Summary
Three races, three countries, and two people bound by something far deeper than the track. As the end of the season closes in around Max, the fight for the title begins to blur with pressure, jealousy, and a love that is becoming harder and harder not to notice. Charles tries to keep his composure, but when the cameras, the internet, and one question at a press conference start taking their relationship apart piece by piece, privacy stops being something they can easily protect.
Ferrari puts out fires, Red Bull adds fuel to them, and the paddock slowly begins to understand that Lestappen was not born suddenly over the course of one weekend. It has existed for years, and only now is the world beginning to look closely enough to see it. And Max and Charles have to decide whether they still want to pretend no one can see what has belonged only to them for a very long time.

Summary
In the Formula One world, every driver belongs to a tightly bonded pack, where alphas lead, betas stabilize, and omegas are nurtured, loved and protected. No omega is ever told to leave the pack room — to be cast out is to be cast out of the pack itself.
Max Verstappen learned that the hard way. At seventeen, wide-eyed and unpresented, he joined the grid eager to find his place. But instead of welcome, he was judged, dismissed, and pushed aside. The breaking point came after a heated clash with Charles Leclerc.
Tempers flared, words were thrown, and in a moment of anger, pack alpha Lewis Hamilton told Max to leave. The command couldn’t be taken back, and Max obeyed silently — never returning, never stepping near the pack room again.
And no one knew the truth. Max wasn’t an alpha. Not a beta. He was a omega, suppressing his scent, instincts, and biology just to survive.

Oh, all that I did to try to undo it
All of my pain and all your excuses
I was a kid but I wasn't clueless
(Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
All of my past, I tried to erase it
But now I see, would I even change it?
Might share a face and share a last name, but
