Noah marked him against his will so now he's mate bonded. He doesn't know who the omega that marked him was. Took him awhile to possibly figure out Noah turned, if that is a setting in this universe and then tracked him down. Meanwhile Noah did a good job of hiding. And well....Noah was the one that ran off w/o telling Ian. Got pregnant and hid the pregnancy and the kid afterwards. Dunno what happens during those years. Plush the kid right fully belongs to the BOTH of them, not just Noah?
I didn't mean parental rights, he has full right to know the kid since he's also the father. What I meant was, seme is acting like pressuring Noah with his pheromones while knowing how uncomfortable it is, forcefully taking him home, inducing his heat, not giving Noah a chance to refuse, sleeping with him without much consent -- he has no right to wreck his life like this. He could have had a gentle approach too, instead of being an asshole. He has the right to know his son, but he's absolutely not entitled to Noah's wellbeing or whatever. I get it, Noah is his mate and all, but that doesn't mean anything if Noah himself doesn't want it anymore. If seme is pissed about the mating thing, I don't think he should induce his heat and force himself on Noah.
Well, ok for the sake of the argument we don't know if Noah wants it anymore or not. I just know be ran away when Ian said let's end this. Noah probably mistook it to mean I don't love you, when in fact Ian probably broke off the FWB relationship once he's been marked. And since he's been marked w/o his consent he's pissed off. He said that although he's now marked it doesn't matter but the good thing is his rut is now more stable. I'm gonna assume he still likes Noah. But Noah did such a good job of evading that Ian never found him and maybe if this verse is one where betas can turn into omegas then maybe he had that thought to go after Noah.
Anyways, I'm on board with everything you've said. The story could have gone that way but it didn't. It's either good or bad approach. But anyways, Ian probably does feel entitled and he's probably pissed it's Noah. Let's say he does like Noah and Noah disappeares on him. Yeah, of he doesn't like Noah then prob wouldn't have sex with him in the first place. Being that betas cannot handle sex w/ alpha's. But now that he's caught up he wants sex. Hahaha. Hmmm...to be fair, Noah is ACTING as if he's really scared of being found out to be an omega and for some reason also very possessive of the child. I mean, let's say Ian's actions are over the top, but what makes Noah so um, paranoid. I mean, he must have gotten over the "oh, I'm am omega so he's not going to love me". Unless he did something shady like sleeping w/ Ian while Ian is in rut and did it knowingly that he is himself in heat ... And then accidentally or intentionally get pregnant. I don't know Ian's motivation full well. I mean, it's easy to take the Ian is an evil bastard rapist and condescending jerk, but that's not what we see of the flashback though. So maybe what we see now is presented to us in such a way that it would seem he's a jerk. But what was Noah's part in the whole thing? We only see up to the point where they developed their FWB on the first day. There's the rest of the time and the five year lapse...and then on into the future. It's true he can't just suddenly insert himself like that. But just as suddenly, Noah took off and disappeared too. It's not like, oh, let's part ways part ways. And Noah kept all that info to himself. Alpha is now tethered.
Um excuse mE SIR- why do you have to be such a pretensions asshole whose face just radiates "I'm better than you" I would respectfully sucker punch you if I were Noah. Like Noah just spent 5 years as a single father, living his life away from you, and you swoop in wrecking the life he's tried hard to build as if you have all the rights to do so??
