Summary
“I- uh,” Shane started, then stopped. His throat felt tight. He reached up, tugging his gloves off with his teeth, needing something to do with his hands. “They picked the Olympic team,” he said finally.
Ilya’s eyes widened. “And?” he prompted gently.
Shane met his gaze.
“I’m going,” he said. “I made Team Canada.”
For half a second, Ilya just stared at him.
Then his face broke open into the widest, brightest smile Shane had ever seen.***
Shane is picked for Team Canada at the Winter Olympics 2026. Ilya couldn’t be prouder.

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
“A parcel? You misunderstand, Mr Rosanov, this is no parcel.”
Ilya’s eyes followed the man’s shoulder, trailing down his arm as the man gestured next to him, revealing a smaller body tucked behind his leg.
The kind façade dropped for a split moment, with Ilya hearing a short growl followed by a squeak as the small body stepped out from behind the man.
It was a child.
------
Alexei tries one last ditch attempt to ruin Ilya's life but ends up giving Ilya and Shane the chance to become parents.

Summary
It’s funny, if he doesn’t think about what it entails, that only three months after seeing Ilya play with those kids in the pool, Shane finds out he’s pregnant with Ilya’s baby.
