Summary
It took only a few minutes for Violet to figure out what purpose she served.
No one said it out loud—not yet, but they’d get there—but they kept throwing out words like formalizing alliances and uniting two groups, and she understood.
Violet was a sacrificial lamb, and Xaden Riorson was the wolf, and her slaughter would be their marriage.

Summary
I start to drift back across the rink towards the boards so I can set down my earbuds — they’re the cheapest ones I could get, which means they go flying at any significant movement, and my leggings don’t have goddamn pockets — when I realise I’m no longer alone, now abruptly face to face with another human being.
Worse, it’s a human being I recognise. And certainly not one I’m thrilled to see.
It’s one of the hockey players. Captain of the men’s team, to be specific. He’s twice my size, broad-shouldered and brawny, with dark hair and russet skin, a single white scar bisecting his brow that’s dramatically rumoured to be a souvenir from a backwater bar fight. He’s the sort of athlete that never fails to reduce women into giggling caricatures falling over themselves, and more infuriatingly he knows it.
Xaden Riorson.
Or: the hockey player/figure skater AU that nobody asked for!
