    Summary

    The act is unceremonious, in the end. The sealing of a sacred bond crumbles under the weight of the black market gamble that led to this moment.

    She does not see his face.

    All Alina knows of her Alpha is the sweep of her hair over her shoulder and a rough thumb dragging across a mating gland on the back of her neck that will not bear sensation for years to come. Not until she matures, until she is on the cusp of her first heat. A second death of adolescence that will follow her first.

    All she knows of her Alpha is warm breath fanning the skin of her neck, followed by the puncture of an abrupt bite. Her whimper and the sob building in her throat are snuffed as a dangerous euphoria floods her; poison fed to prey. That which allows the predator to feed without resistance.

    All she knows of her Alpha is a large hand squeezing her frail shoulder as she slumps back against the chair.

    A whisper breathed against her ear.

    “That’s a good girl, pup.”

    --

    When Alina fails to go into heat, she is sent to live with her Alpha five years prior to their arranged wedding. Her Alpha, who is the King of Ravka and who she has shared a dark connection with since he marked her a decade ago.

    Summary

    Shane is in a post-game interview when his world stops.

    He’s just answered a question about Montreal’s offensive strategy going into the game. Clean passes, avoid penalties, draw defenders wide. It had worked and the Voyagers had beat Colorado soundly, 4-1. Shane had scored two of the goals and assisted on a third.

    Usually, Shane would be eager to boast about the win to Ilya. But ever since their fight- since Ilya told Shane to leave- winning feels hollow. Losing feels better, somehow. As if Shane deserves to lose after being so selfish. Ilya gave up everything for him- his home, his team, and to some extent- his happiness. Hockey. Ilya gave up hockey- good hockey- for Shane.

    A ripple goes through the room of reporters. Shane swears he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘crash’. But no one is paying attention to him anymore.

    “What’s going on?” he asks into the microphone, feeling strange at the role reversal. Usually, he’s the one being asked questions.

    No one answers. And this time he knows that he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘Centaurs’.

    ------------------------------------------

    Shane rushes to Ilya after the almost plane crash. Their secret is no longer a secret.

    Best laid plans.
