Summary
Prince Ilya Rozanov, the second son of a Russian Knyaz, who loves nature more than his title - does not need another leash.
Mr Shane Hollander, an Omega Diamond of the past season, who prefers to train fencing over attending balls - does not need a husband.Both men, due to some inconceivable circumstances, are forced into marriage.
One that is supposed to save the reputation of their families, as well as their own.Between fake identities, political intrigue and lurking danger, they are forced to pretend to be deeply in love. But perhaps 'pretending' won't be as difficult as it may seem...

Summary
It's not like Ilya being an omega is some big dirty secret. In the NHL, every player has to self-identify their secondary gender for safety reasons. Shane's always considered himself lucky to be a beta. No mating cycles to worry about and only the occasional amount of hormonal bullshit when things get tense in the locker room. Otherwise, he's grateful his instincts don't impact him as much as they seem to impact everyone around him. He's the only beta on the Metros and he's lost count of how many times he's had to get between other players to stop them from posturing or attempting to bite each other over hockey.
Ilya's one of three omegas on the Raiders, which is probably why their team is known for violence. There's nothing more terrifying on the face of this Earth than a pissed off omega, Shane would know.

Bookmarker's Notes
"If it ever happens, if you ever feel yourself going somewhere I can't follow, you call me. From a payphone at two in the morning, or a supply closet, or the bathroom floor. I want you to inconvenience me for the rest of my life, Ilya. Even with the hardest parts. Especially with those."

Summary
Ilya starts calling Shane boring regularly after that, not cruelly but persistently, the way you press a bruise you know is there just to confirm it still hurts. Shane's cereal is boring, Shane's training schedule is boring, Shane's shoes lined up by the door are boring, and Shane responds with variations of "fuck off" and "you're an asshole" that become increasingly creative and occasionally surprising. They do not talk about anything that matters. They talk about groceries and whose turn it is to take out the trash and whether Ilya's music is too loud at midnight, which it is.
On the ice, Shane is someone else entirely. Ilya watches him from the upper stands every morning with vending machine coffee going cold in his hand and doesn't tell anyone.
Or: Shane asked Ilya once how you know when it's the right person. Ilya described Shane to him, and Shane didn't recognise himself.
