    Summary

    Scott's voice trails off as someone stumbling on the side of the road catches his attention. It’s a pale, omega teenager, with dead eyes, bruises covering his skin in mottled patches, his hair is tangled and greasy, and covered in blood that seemingly has no origin.
    “Uh, sorry… I need to go. Kip, I think, shit. I’ll just call you or text you. Love you.” He doesn’t wait to hear his husband’s response before he hangs up and rushes out of the car.

    OR

    12-year-old Ilya Rozanov was sold after presenting as an omega the day after his mother’s death. 2 years later, he escapes from his abusive alpha and finds himself wandering the streets of Ottawa when he’s rescued by Scott Hunter. Out of fear he accidentally creates a parental bond with Scott, turning the alpha into his new guardian.

    Now he gets to live a life never thought was possible. He’s in a home with parents who somehow love him even at his worst, and he’s in therapy learning how to cope with his traumas. Scott introduces him back into hockey, he has teammates and friends, and maybe something more with the Centaurs captain, Shane Hollander.

    Ilya just hopes this is a life he’s allowed to have. And hope is a dangerous thing.

    Summary

    Irina waded out until she stood waist-deep in the lake, and then she looked down at her son. Ilya was half asleep, his eyes slitted, mouth open. The lanugo had fallen away, and his pale skin was dotted with dark moles, a negative image of stars scattered across a night sky. She kissed his forehead, running a finger along his chubby cheek, and he turned into her hand. The moment hung between them—perfect, still. The whole world around them seemed, for a moment, to stop turning, to hold its breath.

    Irina looked up, inhaled and exhaled, and then threw him into the lake.

    At first she could not bear to look—she closed her eyes when she let go of him—but only for a moment.

    She opened her eyes, and smiled for the first time in five years.

     

    ***

    Ilya is not, and never has been, entirely human. (He gets his best qualities from his mother.)

    Summary

    There’s still a big part of him that wants all the same things he used to. The hockey, those other interests, the simplicity of the smaller circle. But there’s a twinge of something else now beside it when he considers it for too long, a bruise he can’t place the origins of. He’d been able to put somewhat of a name to it, after Rose.

    He only wishes he hadn’t filled in the rest of the blanks staring down at a grainy photograph of Svetlana Vetrova in a convenience store parking lot in Boston, a bag hanging off of her manicured finger just transparent enough to make out the logo of a First Response as she’d ducked into a sleek, black sports car, driving away with Shane's best worst would-have-been and, presumably, Ilya Rozanov's baby.

    Shane feels no particular way about this turn of events. He really, honestly, mostly is somewhat close to believing that, too. It's progress.
