    Summary

    Alphas aren't supposed to want other Alphas.

    For Shane Hollander, that unspoken societal rule doesn't ring true. It's fine, though. He has everything under control, and the people around him are none the wiser.

    Unfortunately, he never counted on Ilya Rozanov seeing right through him.

    Ilya and Shane meet using a government ABO matching agency. Shane is drawn to the process because he can be open about his genetic mutation while remaining anonymous. The A3O2 genetic mutation presents itself as having both Omega and Alpha secondary sex characteristics. Three time winner of the Stanley Cup, Ilya Rozanov has cemented himself as a titan of the NHL. But it's lonely at the top and he craves the companionship of a partner - a mate.

    Summary

    He gets bottled water for them both from the fridge, watching the kid. Didn’t dry his hair properly after the shower, didn’t even try, and it’s probably made the inside of his hat wet. Kids going to make himself sick. He watches as Shane meanders around his lounge, reading book spines, looking at the pictures. Ilya likes his apartment, but he wonders what it looks like through Shane’s eyes. He wonders vaguely if Shane likes it.

    Ilya just leans against the kitchen counter, waiting.

    The kid stops in frontthat picture, his head tilted as he studies it. Frowns at the Boston team. Frowns at the team posing on the ice, the cup front and center. Sees it on the kids face when he turns, a look of dawning comprehension on his face, “Ilya. Ilya Rozanov?”

    Ilya lets it happen, just nods, pretends like that other life was nothing to do with him.

    “I...I’ve seen you play. Used to go to games sometimes, with my Mom, when I was a kid. She wanted me to be a hockey player, when I was young,” Shane shrugs, “wasn’t for me though too...aggressive.”

    Ilya raises an eyebrow, gesturing with his water, “and you so small. You would get killed.”

    Summary

    2014: Ilya Rozanov shocks the world and breaks Shane Hollander’s heart by disappearing without explanation, and without a goodbye kiss.

    2024: A devastating injury forces Shane to retire early, so he moves to a small town to coach girls hockey and figure out what the hell to do with the rest of his life.

    When recently divorced Ilya Rozanov walks into the rink with his twin girls, Shane has to decide if he’s brave enough to risk a second chance on a broken heart, and a rekindled romance with the first and only boy he ever loved.

    ***

    “So.” Ilya cleared his throat. “Should we tell the girls their Papa and their coach used to date?”

    “We didn’t date. We hooked up a few times, then you disappeared.” Shane looked away to hide his heartbreak as he lied, “It doesn’t even matter. It’s not like I loved you or anything.”

    “No, of course not.” Ilya tried to smile through a lie of his own, “I didn’t love you either.”
