    Summary

    At twenty-five, Shane works from home in cyber security. He gets all his groceries delivered. He avoids the outside world whenever possible. Finally—finally—he caves to his parents’ insistence that it’s time to purchase an omega.

    Ilya is supposed to be difficult. That’s what the auction house warned him, anyway. They aren’t wrong. Between the language barrier, the violent mood swings, incessant noise, and feral behaviors, Ilya is nothing like the obedient omegas Shane is raised to expect. Half the time, Shane can’t tell if the man hates him, fears him, or is losing his damn mind. Probably all of them, all the time. The other half of the time, Ilya watches him like he’s waiting for Shane to spring a trap. News flash: there isn’t one.

    Shane doesn't have any inkling of what he’s doing. He’s never shared space with another human being before. Let alone an omega who doesn't understand personal space. As the walls crack between them, Shane notices things he never questioned before. He realizes there is something deeply troubling in the world he grew up in.

    Summary

    “Baby, you’ll never find someone if you’re that scared of meeting people.”

    “Leave him alone, Rosy,” Jackie waves a hand in the air: “He’ll find someone when he’s ready.”

    “It’s not that—” Shane’s words wobble out like a whisper, like his tongue turned to rubber because of the alcohol.

    Rose is too invested in her thesis to even pay him attention: “I’m just saying! It’s for his health! I don’t think he should be spending all of his heats alone, that’s it. It can’t be healthy.”

    It’s not that—I have this—this thing—

    “I don’t think I can orgasm,” he blurts out.

    Or the one where Shane Hollander, at twenty seven, is the first male-omega captain of the Montreal Metros. Under his belt, he has two Stanley Cups, forty million dollars of net worth and zero orgasms. This must change. (Rose suggests a check up might help). (Jackie knows a great gynecologist downtown).

    Summary


    “If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?” Quickly, Ilya adds, “Don’t say that you want to know if you win the Cup.”

    “Why not? What if that’s my answer?”

    “Is so boring, Hollander. Of course you want to know this. But Ilya Rozanov and Boston Raiders exist in this world, so crystal ball says, so sad, but no.”

    “Fuck off. What are these questions even for, anyway? Are you interviewing me for something? Wouldn’t you have to, like, tell me if you were?”

    Ilya is quick to assure Hollander before his paranoia takes him right out of this phone call. “It is not for interview, Hollander. I am just wondering. Answer the question.”

    “And I can’t say that I would want to know whether I win the Cup.”

    “Yes, other than that.”

    “I guess… I guess I would want to know, like, am I happy?”
