MxM

In the brutal world of professional hockey, where alphas dominate the ice and omegas are sidelined or hidden, enforcer Jax Harlan has always played as a beta tough, unyielding, invisible to scents. Until one brutal check during a heated rivalry game shatters everything. His body betrays him mid-shift: pheromones flood the rink, heat crashes in waves, and the league's suppressants fail spectacularly. Jax isn't a beta. He's a late-bloomer omega, and the revelation hits like a body slam identity crisis, shame, fear of losing his career in a sport that chews up "weak" secondaries. Enter Ronan Kane, captain of the rival team, the Ice Wolves. Cold, commanding, and haunted by his family's dark legacy his father was banned from the league after a scandal involving pheromone manipulation and fixed games that ruined their pack. Ronan swore off omegas to avoid the same downfall, burying his instincts under layers of control and victory. But Jax's sudden, intoxicating scent during that game? It awakens something primal Ronan can't ignore. Forced into proximity by a league investigation into "tampered suppressants" , the two enemies clash on the ice in brutal checks, off it in locked locker rooms and quarantined hotel suites during Jax's first uncontrollable heat. Jax fights his new biology, refusing to be claimed or pitied. Ronan battles his possessive urges, terrified bonding will expose his family's secrets and destroy them both. As playoffs loom and the truth unravels corrupt pack politics rigging trades, hidden mpreg risks for omegas in pro sports their rivalry ignites into something deeper: slow-burn trust, raw vulnerability, and a knot that could either save or ruin them. In a world that demands alphas conquer and omegas submit, can two broken players rewrite the rules... or will the ice crack under the weight of their claim?.

Has potential, but a lot of inconsistencies that make it impossible to enjoy completely.

Chapter 1: The Hit
Chapter One: The HitThe puck slammed into the boards with a crack that echoed through the arena like gunfire. The impact shuddered up Jax Harlan’s spine, but he didn’t flinch. He never did. That was the job. Be the wall. Take the hits, give them back harder, and make damn sure the other team remembered your name the next time they thought about skating too close to your goalie.Tonight it was the Ice Wolves.Their captain Ronan Kane had been in Jax’s space since warm-ups. The guy skated like he owned the ice, all controlled power and cold precision, movements economical and lethal. During face-offs, Jax caught Kane watching him from across the red line, dark eyes sweeping his line like he was sizing up prey.Rivalry bullshit, Jax told himself. Nothing more.He crouched for the next draw, stick down, skates biting into the ice. The ref dropped the puck and chaos exploded. Jax surged forward, shoulder-checking one of Kane’s wingers clean out of the play. The crowd roared—home ice advan

Chapter 2: Locker Room Static
Chapter Two: Locker Room StaticThe locker room reeked of old sweat, Bengay, and panic.Jax slumped onto the bench, elbows braced on his knees, head hanging low. The medic some kid who looked barely old enough to shave hovered like a nervous gnat, pressing a cold pack to the back of Jax’s neck as if ice could fix whatever the hell his body was doing.“Temperature’s one-oh-two point eight,” the kid muttered, checking the thermometer again like it might rethink its life choices. “That’s not normal post-hit. You sure you didn’t take anything? Supplements? New pre-workout?”Jax barked a laugh that turned into a cough. “Yeah. Chugged omega juice this morning. Forgot to tell Coach.”The medic blinked.Didn’t laugh.Probably because Jax’s scent was flooding the room now thick, syrupy, unmistakable. Even the kid’s nostrils flared before he caught himself and looked away.Jax scrubbed his hands over his face, pressing his palms into his eyes until sparks danced. The heat was still there. The s

Chapter 3: Aftershocks
Chapter Three: AftershocksRonan didn’t go back to the bench.When the whistle blew, he skated straight for the tunnel, ignoring the assistant coach shouting his name and the ref waving him toward the penalty box like two minutes mattered worth a damn. The crowd buzzed behind him cheers and boos bleeding together but it all sounded distant, smothered beneath the roar in his head.That scent.It clung to his jersey, his gloves, the padding inside his helmet like it had been burned there. Sweet and sharp. Dangerous. He could still taste it on the back of his tongue honey over cedar, threaded with something raw and green, like fresh-cut grass after a storm.Omega.Late bloomer.Jax fucking Harlan.Ronan ripped off his helmet and slammed it into the concrete wall. The clang echoed down the tunnel. A couple of equipment guys flinched. Nobody said a word.Smart.He braced one forearm against the cool block wall and dropped his forehead onto it, breathing through his mouth like that would he

Chapter 4; Home Ice
Chapter Four: Home IceThe drive back to his apartment passed in a blur of red lights and clenched teeth.Jax kept the windows cracked, hoping the cold night air would cut through the fever haze. Instead, it only made the slick between his thighs feel colder, stickier. He shifted in the driver’s seat every few seconds, muttering curses under his breath as the leather creaked beneath him. His gear bag sat in the passenger seat like an accusation still reeking of the rink, still carrying faint traces of pine and smoke.He told himself it was an adrenaline crash. Post-game shock. A bad hit.Bullshit.By the time he pulled into his underground parking spot, the cramps had started again low, rolling waves that made him grip the steering wheel until his knuckles went white. Not unbearable. Not yet. Just insistent. Like a fist wrapped around his insides, slowly twisting.He cut the engine and sat in the dark, breathing through his mouth. The dashboard clock glowed 1:47 a.m. The game had ende

Chapter 5: Nightshift
Chapter Five: Night ShiftJax didn’t sleep.He tried. Curled on the couch beneath a thin throw, lights off, TV muted on some late-night sports recap he wasn’t watching. The screen washed the ceiling in flickering blue. Every few minutes the cramps eased just enough to let him think maybe it was breaking then rolled back in stronger, like a tide that refused to recede.By 3:30 a.m., the blanket lay kicked on the floor. Too hot. Too scratchy. Too much. He peeled off the hoodie and lay there in sweats, skin feverish and damp. The apartment air felt thick, stale. He cracked a window, but the city noise distant sirens, a lone car horn only made the silence inside louder.His phone stayed dark after that one text to Kane.Good.Let the asshole stew. Jax didn’t need pity checks from the guy whose hit had triggered this mess.Except the mess wasn’t going anywhere.Another wave hit around four. This one wasn’t a warning flutter. It started deep, like a muscle locking hard, then spread hot, ins

Chapter 6: Breaking point
Chapter Six: Breaking PointMorning came like a slap gray light leaking through the blinds, phone buzzing somewhere on the floor like an angry hornet.Jax hadn’t moved from the bathroom tile in hours. Back stiff, ass numb, legs cramping from being folded too long. The waves had merged into one long, grinding ache that never peaked but never let up either. Like being stuck on a bad shift on the ice, waiting for a line change that never came.He dragged himself upright using the tub edge. World tilted. Caught himself on the sink, stared at the reflection again. Eyes bloodshot. Lips chapped. Neck gland swollen, pulsing, sticky. Fresh slick was already seeping through his sweats.He splashed cold water on his face. It ran down his chest, mixing with sweat. Didn’t cool anything inside.The buzzing started again. He fished the phone out from under the towel rack.Missed calls: Coach Ramirez (3), Team Trainer (2), Unknown Number (1).Texts stacked like bad news:Coach: Hospital. Now. No argu

Chapter 7: Threshold
Chapter 7 Threshold Ronan didn’t rush. He stepped inside slow, like the floor might crack under him, and closed the door with a soft click that sounded too loud in the quiet apartment. The lock turned. The world shrank to just the two of them—Jax on the floor in a towel, skin flushed and damp, breathing shallow; Ronan still in his coat, frost melting on the shoulders, eyes fixed on Jax like he was afraid to blink. Jax couldn’t look away either. The alpha’s scent rolled in with him—pine, smoke, leather, something darker underneath like storm clouds over a forest. It hit Jax’s gland like a punch, made the ache between his legs clench hard enough that he had to press his thighs together. Slick leaked fresh, soaking the towel under him. He hated how obvious it was. Hated how much he wanted Ronan to notice. Ronan crouched, slow, keeping distance at first. Knees on the floor, coat pooling around him. Close enough now that Jax could see the tension in his jaw, the way his hands flexed

Chapter 8: Morning After
Chapter 8 Morning AfterJax woke alone.The sheets on Ronan’s side were cold. No arm across his waist. No steady breathing against his neck. Just the faint echo of pine and smoke clinging to the pillow and the dull, satisfied ache between his legs.For a second relief flooded him—then irritation chased it right out.He dragged himself upright. Body protested every movement: thighs sticky, gland tender, muscles sore in ways that reminded him exactly how many times Ronan had pushed him over the edge last night. He hated how good it felt. Hated that his first instinct wasn’t to shower it all off and pretend it never happened.He found Ronan in the kitchen.Fully dressed—jeans, dark sweater, coat already on like he was halfway out the door. Leaning against the counter with one of Jax’s chipped mugs in his hand, staring out the window at the gray morning light. The coffee maker gurgled behind him.Ronan didn’t turn right away.Jax stopped in the doorway. Crossed his arms. Felt exposed ev

Chapter 9: The Drive
Chapter 9 The Drive The elevator doors slid open to the lobby with a soft ding. Jax stepped out first, shoulders squared like he was heading into a fight. Ronan followed a half-beat later—close enough that Jax could feel the shift in air pressure behind him, far enough that no casual observer would think they were anything but two strangers sharing the same space. Outside, the cold bit hard. Jax tugged his hoodie collar higher, hiding the still-swollen gland. His breath fogged white. Ronan’s did the same a second later, the two clouds mingling for a split second before the wind tore them apart. Ronan nodded toward the parking garage. “My car’s closer.” Jax shot him a sidelong look. “I said no.” “You said no to driving your car. Not to riding in mine.” Jax’s jaw ticked. The aftershocks were still there—small, rolling tremors under his skin, a low, constant tug toward the alpha that made his thighs clench involuntarily. Walking away right now would feel like trying to outrun his

Chapter 10: The Hearing
Chapter 10: The HearingThe league office lobby smelled like stale coffee, printer ink, and too many alphas in one room trying not to breathe too deeply.Jax pushed through the glass doors first. The receptionist glanced up then did a double-take. Her nostrils flared once before she caught herself and pasted on a professional smile."Mr. Harlan. Mr. Kane. They're expecting you. Conference room 3B. Down the hall, left at the copy machine."Jax nodded once. Didn't speak. He could feel Ronan a few paces behind him close enough that the air between them hummed, far enough that they weren't touching. Every step pulled at the invisible thread the knot had left behind. Jax hated it. Hated how his body still wanted to lean back into that warmth.He kept his eyes forward. Hoodie collar up. Hands shoved in pockets to hide the faint tremor.Conference room 3B had a long glass table, six chairs, and a projector screen already lit with the league logo. Two suits waited inside this time Investigator
