I remember you mentioning in Patreon about liking the idea of a kinda rivals to lovers romance, if mc antagonized with Alessa in book 1, but reading the last ask can we assume that idea is scrapped?
(ofc, not a problem if it is! Don't feel pressured to do anything! <3)
It can still happen, but I can't tell for sure because I haven't written it. As I said, the possibility came to mind after writing one of Alessa's rival scenes, so that route is not in my outline. For now, the official answer is that you can't romance Hadrian and Alessa unless you started their romances in Book One.
If that changes… it'll be a pleasant (?) surprise. 😊
