Summary
Shane Hollander is 18 years old and a beta when he first competes at World Juniors in Saskatchewan. Shane's only expectation is to bring home gold. Instead, Shane unexpectedly presents as an omega during the gold medal game against Russia. Luckily, his rival Ilya Rozanov is there to help Shane, which is a good thing because Shane knows nothing about being an omega. Rozanov kindly offers to extend his stay to help Shane through his first heat.
Only months later, Shane discovers that he came home with a whole lot more than a silver medal and an unwanted new designation. Somehow he's carrying the baby of a man who lives on the other side of the world. A man who never offered his phone number and doesn't have any social media to speak of.
Somehow Shane is going to have to find a way to explain why he's suddenly pulling out of the 2009 draft, come to terms with giving up hockey and caring for a baby completely alone. All while desperately wishing he could share the joys of first smiles and the stress of sleepless nights with the alpha he's never quite been able to forget.
Or
Shane gets pregnant the first time they meet, but doesn't find out until Ilya is back in Russia with no way to contact him.

Summary
Shane Hollander has built his life around discipline, legacy, and winning—on the ice and off it. A secret relationship with his rival, Ilya Rozanov, was never meant to become more than stolen nights and unspoken promises. It was never meant to leave Shane staring at a positive pregnancy test in a hotel bathroom.
When Ilya chooses to end things for what he believes is the greater good, Shane is left carrying a secret that could change everything, and a love that refuses to die quietly. As the season presses on and the ice becomes the only place they’re allowed to meet, both men must live with the cost of a decision made in grief, fear, and love.
Some endings are clean. This one is anything but.

Summary
Shane says he’s fine. He always does.
Ilya doesn’t believe him.
When the early signs of pregnancy start showing up — the nausea, the fatigue, the little tremors Shane refuses to acknowledge — Ilya notices everything. He notices the way Shane pushes through practice, brushes off concern, and insists he doesn’t need help. And he refuses to let him do it alone.
Between ice rinks, drives home, and quiet evenings in their apartment, they learn to navigate this unexpected pregnancy together. Ilya takes care of Shane with careful hands and steady insistence, and Shane, despite himself, starts to realize maybe he doesn’t have to handle everything on his own.
Hockey doesn’t stop. Life doesn’t pause. But slowly, stubbornly, the two of them adjust — learning to balance routine, responsibility, and each other, one small, intimate moment at a time.
Because some things — like care, trust, and each other — aren’t optional.
