    Summary

    I’m sorry. Please call me.

    Shane stared at the message, hoping to see it read and then see Ilya start typing or see Ilya’s name pop up on his screen with an incoming call. He waited five seconds for the fairy tale to come true. Ten. Thirty seconds, breathing getting harder with every passing second.

    Fuck it.

    He pressed Ilya’s photo, and then after just a moment of hovering, his thumb tapped the call icon. The ringing was worse than staring at an unchanging text screen.

    “Hi, this is Ilya. I will never listen to your voicemail.”

    “Ilya-”

    Fast-approaching light blinded Shane via the rear-view mirror, and a loud metallic explosion followed immediately after, like thunder booming a half-second after a lightning strike.

    -

    After their fight on Boxing Day, Shane spirals while driving. Literally everything gets worse from there.

    Summary

    Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.

    More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.

    He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?

    I already chose you, Hollander.

    Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.

    And then he crashed.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent years making sure no one knows he is an omega.

    Suppressants, scent-neutralizing products, careful routines, and sheer force of will have gotten him all the way to the MHL without anyone finding out. As far as the world knows, Shane is a beta. A good, reliable, unremarkable beta.

    Then his suppressants fail during a game against Boston, and fortunately for Shane, Ilya Rozanov is close enough to notice.

    Summary

    Over the years he thought maybe, just maybe, being knotted by an alpha semi regularly might change something, like his biology would one day answer Ilya’s despite their ups and downs. He even helped Rozanov through a rut one time, and at the time he thought surely his inner omega would finally respond to his pheromones and the teeth shaped bruises on his nape that almost resembled mating bites and give him a heat.
    But nothing.
    Heats are the last thing on his mind right now though. Ilya is spending two weeks with him at his cottage, alone. Completely and utterly alone. Together.

    __________________________

    Omega Shane has never had a heat. Over the years, he has given up on expecting to have one, but when he spends two weeks with alpha Ilya in the comfort of his cottage, something unexpected happens: he is thrown head first into his very first heat. Luckily, Ilya is there to help.

    Summary

    Ilya’s heart shattered. Tears sprang to his eyes, and he buried his face in Shane's neck to hide them, kissing him and whispering how much he loved him as Shane whined and begged and whimpered for something he couldn’t give him. It lasted for hours, no matter how hard Ilya fucked him or how many times he used the knotting toy. Shane was delirious, could not seem to comprehend that Ilya was a Beta, no matter how many times he reminded him, apologized to him, begged him with his eyes to please stop. When Shane finally passed out, Ilya sat up staring at the wall for hours.

    He’d finally figured it out, the one thing he could never give Shane, no matter how much he tried. There was no substitute, no toy that could compare. Ilya was lacking, and Shane knew it now, would come to his senses and realize Ilya couldn’t give him what he really needed. For the first time since his childhood, Ilya thought about dying. Not killing himself, never that, but maybe somehow going to sleep and not waking up.

    Or, Beta Ilya Rozanov loves Omega Shane Hollander so much it hurts. A hit on the ice changes everything between them, but not the one thing that matters.
