    Summary

    mar·ces·cence /mɑːrˈsɛs.əns/ noun
    The phenomenon where a plant retains its dead, withered leaves through the winter instead of dropping them in autumn. The state of un-shed foliage losing its colour, drying out, and breaking apart under harsh elements while remaining rigidly attached to the branch.

    *

    No one can know Shane's an omega, and no one can know he's slowly falling apart. So Shane puts his gear on, locks his trembling knees, and steps back onto the ice.

    His mate doesn’t want him. His mate doesn’t want him. Ilya doesn’t want him.

    Summary

    Ilya wakes up disoriented and overly hot. He blinks his eyes open and slowly comes back to the land of the living as he notices that he isn't even tucked under the blanket. Then why is it so damn hot? The answer lies in the omega lying half on top of him.
    "Oh shit," Ilya mumbles, realizing that Shane is burning like a furnace. "Hollander? Hollander, can you hear me? Shane?"
    The only response he gets is a garbled whimper, half-buried in Ilya's chest.
    "Okay, you said heat was bad, let's knot you again, will make the fever go down," Ilya says and slides his hand between Shane's thighs to his wet hole. He doesn't get much further before Shane clamps his legs shut, closing his eyes with a pained expression.
    "What is happening?" Ilya asks into the room as Shane starts sobbing and writhing on the bed.

    _________________

    When Shane has to get off his suppressants for medical reasons, he is advised to spend his next heat with an alpha, otherwise the strain on his body might leave permanent damage. When he asks Rozanov, he tries to explain the severity of his heats, but the alpha thinks he is overreacting, expecting a week of easy heat-sex. He should have believed the omega when he warned him.

    Summary

    ‘We didn’t even kiss.’

    The text stared up at him from his phone, growing shakier the longer he looked at them. He blinked and felt a tear escape.

    “Fuck,” he breathed. It took him longer than it should have to realize that it wasn’t the words that were shaky, it was his hands.

    —--

    Three shots and a mixed drink later —some sort of cocktail he couldn’t be bothered to taste— Shane found himself being dragged along again. The air outside was warm and humid, and he undid the top two buttons of his shirt.
    The group corralled him into a club further down the strip, and Shane had barely a moment to adjust to the blaring music and the colourful lights before he was at the bar. His fourth shot of the night went down much easier than the first, and the blessed, blessed heat continued to circulate through his body.
    —-
    OR; Shane leaves the penthouse and finds his way back to the MVP banquet. A few drinks later, he sends the text. He doesn’t know what he expected, but it certainly wasn’t being rescued by his arch-rival turned situationship after accidentally getting wasted on the Las Vegas strip.
    My take on ‘What if Shane subdrops after the Vegas MVP scene?!’ Wherein he gets wasted. Bon Appetit.

    Summary

    Rose convinces Shane to go clubbing with her again. Someone spikes their drinks. Ilya is not having it.

    -

    It was supposed to be mindless fun. If Rose didn’t take Shane out for his birthday, he would spend the whole weekend moping that his secret boyfriend was playing against Dallas instead of engaging in whatever illicit activities the two got up to in their spare time. Rose did not account for the sadistic fucker of the week deciding they would make ideal targets. Of course, with Shane high out of his mind and her own judgement hanging on by a thread, the only one she can think to call is Ilya.

    Summary

    Alphas are considered brutes that need to be tamed. They are separated from the real world, living in training centers until they learn how to be useful and chosen by a beta or omega.

    Eighteen year old Shane recently lost both of his parents, leaving him without a pack. He is lost and hurting, and his health is declining rapidly from years of suppressants and losing his pack. He is told he needs an alpha to balance out his hormones, reduce stress, and help him get through his irregular and painful heats. He gets given multiple options, but he can’t help but be drawn to a particular Russian alpha.
