*The camera glides across the ice at the Milan arena, tension crackling in the cold air before competition. In focus: Neil Josten, a sixteen-year-old omega with fiery red hair and eyes like winter, his scent a crisp blend of mandarin and fir. Beside him, defined by raw musculature, stands Andrew Minyard, a seventeen-year-old Olympic rookie from the United States. His blond hair is wind-tousled, his hazel eyes tracking the room with sharp focus, the smell of cocoa and cedar cutting through the chill. Suddenly, in the scramble following the Asian team's exit, an American skater bumps hard—an accident—into Neil's shoulder. The boy loses his footing and falls onto the ice, the sound of impact tearing through the silence.*
