Summary
“Uh, hello,” Ilya says when the cat rises up on its legs and stretches, back bending and paws curling down. Its ears flick and it gives him a dour sort of mwor in return. Witches have familiars, Ilya knows that. And this is a perfect spot for a familiar to be, on the stoop of the witch's house. Logic follows that the cat must be the witch's familiar.
So he says, very politely, “Shane is expecting us,” even though he has no idea if that’s true or not.
The cat yawns, tiny sharp teeth flashing at Ilya. Its ears flick again and then it curls up into a ball of fur, right there on the brick wall despite the fact that they’re hurtling towards the end of November and it’s fucking freezing outside.
“Is that good or bad, do you think,” Ilya asks Seryozha in Russian, gesturing at the cat when the familiar doesn’t move again except to curl its tail over the tip of its pink nose.
Seryozha’s phone screen flashes white in the darkness. That is a cat, he types, and Ilya scowls. It’s a fucking magical cat.

Summary
Alpha Ilya has been named Chief of Winterhaven, after the death of his father, the former iron-fisted chief. This territory, in the frigid north of a fantastical medieval world, prepares for winter with low food stocks, a fear of Ilya's inexperience, and an unspoken terror of what is the early signs of a long and cruel winter ahead. Ilya feels the weight of his village's entire life on his shoulders and threatens to crush him.
Omega Shane is is a traveling apothecary, who came to Winterhaven seeking knowledge of herbs and the hopes of temporary shelter from the winter to come. He's a man who has wandered for most of his life, fleeing a past of abuse, violence, and rejection. All because he refuses to placate Alphas with half-truths and lies, and instead always speaks his mind, especially when the lives of others are on the line because of foolish pride.
Sparks ignite between Alpha and Omega, as Ilya realizes Shane's wisdom can protect and improve his village's outdated customs and save the lives of his people and Shane realizes that Ilya might be the only Alpha who will hear and respect him, body and mind.

Summary
'Why do they compare Hollander to Serena Williams and Tiger Woods?' Ilya asks. 'Is it because they're boring sports? Are they insulting him?'
Svetlana looks down at him, raising an unimpressed eyebrow. 'You are not this dense.'
'What? I'm missing something?'
'Oh, you are that dense. My mistake.'
***
Once Svetlana teaches Ilya about the casual racism that's a part of Shane's every day life, he can't stop noticing it.Bookmarked by avidreader96
