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
It is an unremarkable, dreary March morning in Ottawa when Ilya Rozanov’s life swiftly burns to ashes around him. Ilya had intended to spend the rare morning off of training sleeping off the lingering exhaustion from the seemingly endless stretch of away games as long as Anya would allow.
Instead, it is barely past six in the morning when armed agents pound on his front door.
(Or, a remix of the FanMail incident.)

Summary
Yuna Hollander is a pragmatist above all else. She thrives with logistics and spreadsheets, weighing probabilities and outcomes and risks and rewards. She can handle the people-coralling of it all, if she treats the schmoozing and handshaking as moving chesspieces instead of navigating a social minefield.
She knows that Shane is the same way, except that his tolerance for people-coralling is even less than her own.
What Yuna does not know, and what has bugged her for the past nine months, is what the fuck happened on Boxing Day to blow up Shane and Ilya’s relationship past the point of repair.
It doesn’t really matter, now. Right now, she is simply glad that she has quietly remained an emergency contact for Ilya Rozanov for the logistics of what they are facing at this very moment, because it means that she knows the address of his new place, and so she can race to it after her phone had damn near overheated and exploded during her morning Pilates class with the notification overload.
Someone has hacked Ilya's iCloud account. Ten years of text messages have been published for the whole world to see.
