Alpha Hockey Player, Ilya Rozanov, Lets Beta Husband Carry The Groceries All By Himself
[Photo of Ilya going out of Walmart with Shane. Both of them are not wearing anything to cover their faces. Ilya is wearing a short-sleeved white t-shirt that is tightly fit on his body with jeans, Shane is wearing a similar t-shirt in black with jeans. The two are smiling at each other with grins so big it could reach their ears. In this angle, Ilya looks completely smitten with a little blush on his cheeks, presumably in response to something Shane said earlier.]

"Ilya, come on!"
Shane is already outside bringing both of their bags, waiting for Ilya to get off his phone so they can go to practice.
It first started when Ilya got rough checks after rough checks in one of their first games together. Shane has always been a worrywart, even before they got together, but it's gotten even more intense after they got married.
Ilya didn't think much of it. Hockey is a very physical game and he's gotten used to it.
Shane, however, does not.
His dear husband keeps insisting on bringing bags, groceries—anything he deems heavy on Ilya's behalf even though his shoulder has long healed.
As an alpha, Ilya was raised to care and provide and protect his mate by his father. It is as ridiculous as it sounds now, considering that his father failed to do that for Irina. He was taught to be strong and to never yield. Alphas are superior, his father said, and you are entitled to everything in the world. Thirteen-year-old Ilya believes in his father who says that he is born to win (despite always losing against his father), to protect (even though he doesn't receive it because he's a 'strong alpha' who needs to be able to protect himself), and to crush everything beneath him (although he is always the one getting crushed both when he wins and loses on ice).
"Give me my bag, sweetheart."
And as expected, Shane does exactly the opposite of that.
"Nope!" he says cheekily.
"Oh well, if that's what the hotel staff wants."
"That's right, Mr. Rozanov, I need to take care of you or my boss will be mad."
Ilya catches up and both of them walk to practice. It's one of Ilya's favorite thing to do. The spring air is finally getting warmer and Ilya can enjoy it with his husband by his side.
"Your boss?"
"Yes, my boss is Shane Hollander."
"Oh! Your boss is my husband."
"Exactly, that's why I have to take good care of you."
"Do you want a reward?"
It's their third kiss of the day (the first one being a wake up kiss and the second after both of them brush their teeth) and Ilya loves this type of kiss the most, where their lips don't meet perfectly because of how much both of them are laughing.

Ottawa Centaurs' Captain Ilya Rozanov was seen crying on the sidewalk last night.
Our source did not say anything that could have caused it, but commented that it was weird to see an alpha crying so openly.

Ilya feels like his tearducts haven't been able to close since the first time he cried in front of Shane.
The last time he cried before Shane was probably when he was twelve and his father only told him to 'be an alpha'. It was hard for young, impressionable Ilya to not take his father's words to heart as he buried his emotions deep—especially when his older brother insulted him, 'pathetic', under his breath as Ilya tried so hard to fight back his sadness at Irina's funeral.
Ilya never found crying to be embarrassing or shameful whenever he saw others do it, but he could never see himself crying.
And, well, Shane happened.
Shane is safe. Shane doesn't laugh at his ugly crying faces (and even tells him that he's handsome and pretty without even meaning to flirt), Shane cries when he does (saying that seeing Ilya sad makes him also sad), and Shane kisses his tears away whenever he cries (even if they're on a sidewalk).
"My love," Ilya whispers, "Will you marry me?"
"We're already married, Ilya."
Ilya pouts at his husband's rejection.
"So you don't love me."
"I love you, my darling. But I really don't like paperwork."
"Fair," Ilya says, grimacing at the amount of paperwork they had when they got married.
"Breakfast?"
"Kiss me first."
Shane is so beautiful like this, body fully on top of Ilya as he crawls to give a rushed peck. Does his husband think that Ilya will let him go? Of course, no. Ilya has gotten into the habit of peppering kisses on his husband's freckles until his husband's face is semi wet with spit and then, Ilya will pick up his husband to the sink as Ilya washes off his morning breathe from his husband's face and kisses his husband's pink lips after they both brush their teeth.
"I could cry happy tears," Ilya says while eating breakfast.
Shane smiles, "I could, too. Should we cry together?"
"We should have another sad movie night."
"With Hayden?"
"Yes, I love Jackie and her kids. Her husband is okay, I guess."

Do alphas like being treated as a princess?
Ilya Rozanov, a beast on ice, seems like he would say yes according to these newest fan-taken pictures.
