    Summary

    Svetlana’s voice is tense, “Rose suggested I reach out to you. We have an omega here who needs a place to live and I was wondering if you’d be willing to house him.”
    “Me?” Shane blurts out, “Why me?”
    “Because, I believe having a familiar face will help him.”
    “A familiar face?” Shane is even more confused than before, “I mean I know I’m a hockey player-”
    “No,” Svetlana cuts him off. “The omega is a former hockey player, and there’s mention that you two have crossed paths before. Do you remember Ilya Rozanov?”

    -

    Right before the MHL draft, Ilya Rozanov went missing after presenting as an omega. Years later, he turns up at an auction house where he’s rescued after a police raid. However, due to his unpredictable nature, Ilya is sent to live with star hockey player, and former crush, Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Rose volunteers for a nonprofit that rescues sex-trafficked omegas, and Shane thinks it's a great cause. He even attends their fundraising galas.

    Then, one night, Rose calls to ask for a favor: She wants Shane to let a recently-rescued male omega live with him. In his apartment.

    His name is Ilya, Rose explains, and the thing is, despite omega hormone levels, he acts and smells just like an alpha. He can't keep staying in an omega group home because he's scaring the other omegas and endangering the staff.

    But he could live with Shane, Rose insists. "You're a big strong alpha hockey player, so he can't intimidate you physically. But also he needs to feel safe, which he can with you, because you're not like other alphas." She pauses. "You know?"

    By which she means Shane has never had a full rut, his scent glands barely work, he can't form a knot, and he has no interest in sticking his dick in anyone. Which, whatever. It's fine.

    But if being a failure as an alpha means he can help this omega, Ilya, who's apparently as much of a biological anomaly as Shane is…

    Shane says yes.

    And maybe it's a stupid decision. But he knows that it's also the right one.

    Summary

    “We do not say anything about the Hollander situation,” LeClaire tells them even though it sounds like he’s already resigned to what he knows is going to happen.

    After all, Roz gets extremely mad whenever it’s brought up. Not that Cliff can blame him, he’s pretty sure that Roz liked Hollander before this (wouldn’t chirp him half as much if he didn’t). Finding out that he’s such a bastard must sting.

    Not to mention that Roz does not mess around with people that disrespect girls. Or women. Or kids. Or dogs. Or the elderly (excluding Scott Hunter). Or really anyone, if it’s for petty stupid reasons.

    “Of course,” Cliff agrees for both of them since Roz is still too busy texting someone.

    It’s apparently not good enough for LeClaire because he asks, “Roz?”

    “Just one second,” he answers without raising his eyes from his phone or stopping his typing. “Need to get my Jane to agree with something. She’s very stubborn.”

     

    Or. My take on the 'their text leak and now everybody thinks that Shane is an abusive bastard' premise. Featuring Ilya giving a presser, Marly realizing in real time who 'Jane' is and the internet reacting to the craziness.

    Summary

    They meet when they're just teenagers. They start fucking not too much longer after that. They also don't really allow themselves to get to know each other until much, much later.

    (In which your soulmate will one day say something that proves they understand you. Shane and Ilya don't exactly make a habit of talking.)
