    Summary

    Shane is hiding something that could end his career.

    Ilya is the kind of person who doesn’t stop until he finds it.

    What starts as rivalry turns into fixation.

    Because something about Shane doesn’t make sense,
    his control, his scent, the way he reacts.

    And Ilya doesn’t like unsolved patterns.

    He likes breaking them open.

    Even if it breaks Shane with it.

    Not instinct. Not luck. Not being an alpha.

    Control.

    So when he watches Shane play, he sees it immediately, something precise, something careful, something just out of reach.

    Something hidden.

    And Ilya has never been good at leaving things alone.
