    Summary

    “I lodged the forms online straight after the draft, so I’m not sure why there’s an issue. It’s clear that Rozanov is Shane’s enemy.”

    “Rival, Mom. He’s not my enemy, he’s just — a rival.”

    It’s not like soulmates, where your mark gives you an identifying clue of who the person is so there’s no doubt when you make it official. The two marks together form some kind of cohesive picture; two halves of a whole. They’re a lot smaller than they appear in movies, that’s what surprised Shane. The mark appears around the time you become acquainted with your soulmate, whatever that means. He found his tiny hockey stick mark on his inner elbow the day after the draft picks. He hasn’t told his Mom yet that his soulmate is hockey itself, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

    But the thing is. Every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. If you have a soulmate, you must have a rival. It’s some kind of karmic balance in the universe that no one can really explain.

    Summary

    Everyone knew that love could heal. With just a kiss to the cheek or forehead, it could heal papercuts and little scrapes. And there were rules, of course. It could only be healed by a kiss, the press of lips to skin of the injured person. The more kisses shared between two people, the more potent the magic became. The love had to be mutual and genuine. The intensity of love altered what one was capable of healing. Stronger love could heal wounds that were deeper, concussions and diseases and gashes large enough to need stitches. Nothing much bigger, though.

    Unless you were soulmates.

    Soulmates were supposed to create such a bond that they could heal anything that afflicted their soulmate. The love between soulmates still had to be there, but the magic was more potent. The stronger the bond between soulmates, the more they could heal. There were even a handful of cases where a person had brought their soulmate back from the dead. A love so pure, so strong, so genuine, that it reached beyond death, that it pushed air into lungs and restarted a heart. All healed with a true love’s kiss.

    These were just stories, though. And, besides, soulmates didn’t exist anymore.

    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.
