Summary
After Shane Hollander suffered a career ending injury in 2013, he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. It wasn’t until 2018, when he connected with a surrogacy agency, that he finally felt like he could do something that would give him meaning and purpose once again.
Oh, and by the way, his relationship with Ilya Rozanov also ended in 2013. That was because he fucking hated him.
Oh, and by the way, It just so happens that Ilya, planning ahead for his unexpectedly early retirement, is looking for a surrogate to have his baby.
A.K.A: the fic where Shane and Ilya never officially got together because they’re idiots, and now Shane has to decide whether or not he’s willing to carry a baby for a man he can’t stand.

Summary
Shane Hollander works at a coffee shop, plays hockey, keeps his head down, and doesn’t ask questions he doesn’t need the answers to.
So when a new regular starts showing up—quiet, watchful, Russian-accented, and conducting invitation-only meetings in the back—Shane notices. When that same man takes an unsettling interest in Shane’s closing shifts, his routines, and his safety, Shane does what feels sensible: he adjusts his behavior and keeps his mouth shut.
Ilya Rosanov orders an Americano. He reads, but only in Russian. He worries when people work late alone.
They are operating with very different definitions of danger.
If he didn’t ask questions, he couldn’t be lied to.
The rules were simple.
1. Do not ask questions you don’t need the answer to.
2. Do not share personal information freely.
3. Do not be alone with Ilya Rozanov.
4. Do not give him a reason to think you’re afraid.Series

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.
