    Summary

    This is new for him, the scent of it all. He presented early, before puberty, at the ripe age of ten. He had spent his life on the ice until then, living, breathing, dying hockey. The thought of never playing again, the thought of being shunted to the omega leagues, where it's less about hockey and more about mating rituals for the top A-lister alphas in Hollywood, was earth-shattering. Shane couldn’t imagine that, couldn't imagine his life like that, without hockey, without the ice, without, without, without. At ten, the decision of infertility versus the prospects of a long, fruitful career on the ice in the MLH was a no-brainer. Kids, family, pack, a mate, none of that would matter if Shane never got to step foot on the ice again.

    Except it does matter. It does matter because now he’s twenty-three, and there is someone else. There is someone else. There's someone else, but not really, because they didn’t kiss. It doesn't mean anything. He's all alone, and it's all one-sided.

    Shane has rejection sickness. He's avoided it for too long. What will persist in the aftermath?

    Summary

    “Ah,” Ilya said, grinning, going for the joke.

    Shane looked up, curious.

    “So being boring is genetic?”

    He expected laughter. Or the way Shane would roll his eyes even as he melted, the way that made the teasing feel welcome.

    Instead, Shane’s smile disappeared completely. It wasn’t dramatic. It just… went. Like a light switched off.

    “Yeah,” Shane said, clearing his throat, forcing the word out before it could crack. “I guess so.”

    He took a step back, creating space that felt suddenly necessary, like he might suffocate if he drifted any closer. Every instinct in him screamed to leave. To put distance between himself and this feeling and the source of it before it swallowed him whole
