    Summary

    Based very loosely on events from The Long Game that my brain wanted to put into the first book, somewhere between Shane’s injury, and before Scott Hunter wins the cup - for maximum angst, obviously.

    What if Ilya’s plane had actually crashed? And what if it had happened before he and Shane had the chance to confess their love and know what it was like to be together.

    Or

    A fic so I could write a really needy Shane who can't hide his feelings anymore, and an Ilya who is faced with the undeniable truth that someone cares for him.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent years building a quiet, careful life for himself and his daughter. No dating, no risks, no alphas.

    Just work, parenting, and keeping Yuki safe in a world that has not always been kind to omegas. Everything changes the moment Yuki slips away from him at a crowded public event and is found in the arms of star hockey player Ilya Rozanov, who handles her with a gentleness that leaves Shane unexpectedly unsteady.

    What should have been a brief, awkward encounter becomes something far more complicated. Yuki adores Ilya on sight. Ilya keeps showing up, offering small kindnesses, sending messages that turn into late-night conversations, and slipping into Shane’s life with a warmth that feels dangerously easy. Shane, who promised himself he would never relay on an alpha, finds himself drawn to the one man he should not want.

    Neither of them understands why their connection feels so instinctive or why being together feels like stepping into a life they have somehow already lived. As their bond deepens and Yuki pulls them closer with fearless certainty, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: some families form themselves long before you realize you are part of one.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a confident dancer at a club that's gotten darker since Ilya Rozanov bought it three months ago however Shane thrives on the edge.

    What he doesn't notice is that his new boss is completely obsessed with him.

    Ilya tests the waters methodically: coffee ordered just to watch Shane work, conversations that linger too long, gifts chosen with unsettling precision. Shane interprets it all as the mark of a meticulous employer. It takes threats, violence, and Hayden spelling it out in brutal detail before Shane finally understands: Ilya doesn't want his labor.

    He wants him.

    Summary

    When a human head of state publicly insults the ancient Vampire King, the price of peace is a political union. Shane Hollander, high school teacher and assistant hockey coach, is one of the only humans in the world with a rare bloodline. He’s given an impossible choice: become a Tribute Consort to vampire Crown Prince Ilya, or watch the human race burn.

    Their union is meant to be a symbolic gesture to prevent war. Shane tells himself he can survive the vampire court's deadly politics, the centuries-old intrigue, and the weight of being a living apology for his species' mistakes.

    What he doesn't expect is the way Ilya looks at him when no one else is watching.

    When a secret society abducts Shane to drain and auction his rare blood to the highest bidder, the carefully constructed facade shatters. The vampire Crown Prince the world fears isn't cold at all, he's been holding something far more dangerous in check. And what Ilya is willing to destroy to reclaim his Consort will reshape the balance of power between their worlds.
