He's not an underhanded person.
who? the seme? the guy who subtly threaten to take the kid away from the uke? and for what purpose than to keep the uke by his side? XD
He never wanted Uke as a mate definitely here for Kiddo.
He didn't actually...he only said that....it's about time he has kids so he went to look for his mate... Finds out it's Noah. Sees the kid, says he looks about the right age. Got DNA testing to confirm. If he HAD really wanted the kid (to himself) he would have done it already.... No need to involve himself in Noah's life.
Well yeah, neither of them were looking to mate and have a kid together. When the uke ran away he could've left it at that and moved on with his life. He even said the uke made his life easier by ghosting him and not making him take responsibility. But nope he couldn't leave it alone and was searching for him for five years.
The kid is a bonus and convenient tool to keep the uke tied to him. Not saying the seme is in love with the uke atm or doesn't realize it yet at least, but he's not letting him go either.
Seme said uke made it convenient for him for 'heat' purposes. Marked people can only go in heat in front of their partners. So we could say both never got into heat in these 4 years. Making Alpha's life breezy.
And yes Ian doesn't love Noah . He's Here mostly for kid and the marked person. Not for Noah.
Maybe he tried after uke left him to move on with life , to find someone else , in that process he came to know he can't make them pregnant so here we go.
He didn't say 'it's about time he has kids?' He never forgot about the uke and put two-and-two together and wonder if he knocked him up too. I think it was pretty well hinted that he found out the uke was the one he probably marked during his search for him. He just wasn't able to confirm it until he met him again and did the tangle and with the dna test to solidify everything. He is using an underhanded tactic in that he's dangling the kid to keep the uke by his side.
I'm saying he didn't drop the inhibitor on purpose. That is all. At the time they mated, he wasn't ready for a kid. Actually, he wasn't ready for anything serious, even, let alone a mate-bond. If Noah had decided not to tell him then....he also doesn't have the responsibility to come after him. Since he didn't come after Noah (not right away) he COULDN'T have known that they had a child together and that Noah had decided to keep the baby (keep the pregnancy and raised him). The baby accosting was mostly by pure coincidence, or he found out after searching for Noah.
The child was a product of an accident. It was not planned.
That's ... Because Noah is his mate though. IF he wants to have kids he has to do it with his mate. Unless he can dissolve the mate bond. Saying he wants to keep Noah by his side is ridiculous.
It works out in many ways since he already now has a kid and they don't EVEN HAVE to do the horizontal tango. But I'm sure he wants his mate. Even if he didn't wanted Noah. They're stuck together whether they like it or not.
Besides, Noah had kept him by his side for 4+ years so it's high time he gets to have a second dad. Also, the baby is sick so he would need more help. Who better to help than a wealthy alpha?!? That will relieve the burden Noah had to face alone, reducing his overworking, and better provide for their child as well. If the genetic disorder came from his side, then he can provide info on the family health history to help take care of the child.
I can't say your assumptions are wrong but going by the story, the seme was always interested in the uke. He was the one that instigated everything in their relationship to begin with. Remember the uke wasn't just some one night stand, the seme obviously made it to where they were friends turned lovers*(fwb). After they stopped talking in college, I believe the seme dropped the blocker as one last resort to reconnect. As they wouldn't see each other again after uni.
Cue the accidental mating and knock up and everything is kinda just falling in place for the seme. You don't think his interest piqued more when he found out the uke was probably his mate? Like you said, mating made his life easier. BUT he does not need his mate. He can still roll in the hay with others satisfactorily. He has an heir apparent. His mate doesn't even want him, which makes it all the more better. But because the uke is Noah, he's more than interested. He's definitely not going to settle for just coparenting.
Oh yeah. For sure. He's already flirting with him too. Well, yes. He had ALWAYS been interested in Noah. But at the time they left off there FWB relationship, it seemed he had cut it off. And of he has feelings for Noah same as before, but now is ready to settle down, it works out better since they have to be stuck together anyways.
Imagine if he DIDN'T like Noah, or RESENTED him and MAKE HIS LIFE hell!!! There are cases like that. (Even without children or bindings involved.)
I didn't say the child or the mating was planned thought. Just that the dropping of the blocker was on purpose just because the seme did not want their connection to end.
I know but I'm 100% sure it's an accident.
If he doesn't want the connection to end he could still keep in touch via phone. Why resort to such lowly method?!? Like, come have sex w me one last time cuz you're leaving?!?! THAT would be Noah's thinking, not Ian's.
Maybe your inhibitor dropping assumption Correct too . But Seme is bound to return to uke . Even if he roll in bed with 500 Omegas, 250 betas , or 10 alphas. He's kind of Bound to come back to him.
Noah and that sloth kid became his family.
Noah a non consensual mate .
Kid an unwanted Entity.
Dude has to accept them otherwise he'll be a Millionaire Billionaire with no existence no peace of mind.
I also think IRL logic won't work here coz abo is driven by animal instincts.
One more thing , that sloth kid disease needs tons of money , or his disease would get probably cured by his daddy's pheromones. One of them . Noah would 'reluctantly' agree with Ian for his only family. This bullshit is going in that direction I'm telling you .
You'll come to acknowledge my comment after few chapters →_→
Yes now he has a kid. He has an heir. He did not say he wanted any more kids. He did not state he wanted his mate at all either. He was even appreciative at first knowing that his mate* ran away from him freeing him of all the obligations that comes with the bond. They do not have to be stuck together. It's canon in this story that they can live far apart from each other and live their own lives without any ill affects. The uke has no strong backing, the seme can literally take the kid and go. BUT his mate being the uke changes things for the seme.
I know how abo works. I also know authors like to tweak how abo works in their own stories. and sure lets bookmark this and come back to see who's closest!!! lololol.
He hinted at possibly having more kids. But as for who his mate is and how that could've affected the outcome of the relationship depends on the story. Plenty of straight romances have a drugged up male lead and female lead doing the horizontal tango and found out later the female is preggo. But yet they're strangers. Plenty of those in those run-of-the-mill manhuas, Chinese dramas and K-dramas and they get together. Though whether it's thru trials and tribulations or not depends on the writer.
He did not hint about wanting more kids. Listen, my theory is purely based on what's written in this story so far, what was said, it's action and the abo world view that the author has created around it. Not any other stories.
Nvm. It's ok you're not seeing what I'm saying.
He gave a whole ass lecture during their reunion sex about how alphas and omegas work. So he's definitely hinting at having more kids. Whether they do or not I don't know. But it's possible.
And yes, they can live apart, but if Ian wants more kids they'd have to mate.
Well how I interpreted that scene was a little different. I took it as the author just establishing how the uke got knocked up so fast with some abo history lesson through the Seme's view point. He was pointing out how cruel it is and helpless they were against their abo instincts.
As remember he definitely did NOT plan to mate and inpregnant the uke. But because he was in his rut he lost control of his consciousness. He was just teasing the uke. I don't think he has any intentions of having any other kids. At least not at this point in the story.
I think the seme intentionally dropped the blocker so the uke would give it back to him.
Judging from the dialogue it really didn't seem like the seme knew the uke was a recessive omega. I don't know if the author is going to go the whole 'fated mate' match route, but at the very least I think because the seme was a dominant alpha, he could've probably sense the ukes recessive genes and was extra attracted to him cause of that as well.
