    Summary

    Six years ago, Shane was taken in a raid and bonded to the wrong Alpha.
    Six years of forgetting, of breaking.

    Now Ilya has him back.

    “The mark…” Ilya’s voice remained quiet. “What they put on you can be overwritten. I found a cure. Your body still carries our original bond underneath it. I can bring it back. Bring you back.” He paused, letting the words settle. “But it won’t be easy. Your instincts will fight it. Some days will feel impossible.”

    “What… what do you mean?”

    Summary

    Ilya was born a powerful Alpha. He was taught that an alpha’s worth was measured in dominance, victories, and the ability to bend others to his will.

    So when the chance came to claim a disgraced omega as a mate, an omega whose knowledge could lift his struggling team, the Centaurs, he took it.

    That omega was Shane Hollander, once a phenom in the Omega League.
    Until the scandal.

    Accused of throwing a game for an alpha he’d been seeing, Shane was banned from the sport he loved. The Alpha walked away unscathed. Shane bore the punishment alone.

    As part of his atonement, he was forced to attend every match, chained in a public place called the Penalty Box, a humiliating spectacle where he had to watch the game he could no longer play. Fans jeered. Former teammates looked away.

    And Ilya saw an opportunity.

    To become Shane’s mate meant gaining full access to Shane’s tactical mind. Omega knowledge was instinctive and deep and, in a bonded pair, fully open to the alpha. For Ilya, it was a career move. A shortcut.

    Their marriage began as a cold transaction:
    An ambitious alpha and an outcast omega bound by law, not love.
    But the universe had other plans.

    Summary

    "“That was rude.” His murmur was uneasy, and he shifted when the alpha rolled his intense hazel eyes.

    “I’ll ask you again, omega.” The man flicked his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it, glaring at him once more like someone who was used to having his questions answered immediately. “Why are you upset?”"

    Or where Shane is a player forced to retire due to injury, and Ilya is a mobster obsessed with hockey.

    They try to baby trap each other because they conclude that Shane needs to get pregnant so they'll be stuck together.

    They are slow to realize that their obsession with each other stems from being fated mates.

    Summary

    Ilya was Ilya, he was never going to be anything else, but he was never quite the same as that night in Vegas. And Shane… Shane was starting to crave it. It didn’t help that in the weeks or months between hookups, he kept watching videos, and his mind kept unhelpfully mixing reality and fiction in this strange, dreamlike swirl and it was slowly driving him insane.

    -

    After Ilya wins the MVP Award and what happens in the Las Vegas hotel room, Shane works up the courage to ask Ilya if they can try more BDSM.

    My Long Game. by

    Summary

    This fic lives in the spaces Rachel Reid leaves quiet. It follows Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov from the end of Heated Rivalry through The Long Game, then imagines a future shaped by love, community, and consequence.

    Chapters 1–16 focus on the four-year gap between Heated Rivalry and The Long Game. These chapters trace the long, uneven process of staying in love while being forced apart by careers, secrecy, and fear. They linger on stolen moments, missed calls, private rituals, and the emotional labor of choosing each other over and over again after committing exclusively to each other.

    Chapter 17 is a deliberate rewrite of a key scene from The Long Game that I couldn’t live with as written.

    Chapters 18–45 imagine what comes after The Long Game in the upcoming Unrivaled era through my thoughts. This section centers on Shane and Ilya learning how to live publicly, build a community. Luca Haas becomes a vital part of that future, not as a threat, but as proof of how love expands rather than divides. Together with their growing chosen family, they confront an antagonistic podcast, TopShelf.
