Clough is imprinted on Aeroc. So the imprint is starting to mess with his head, his stomach is starting to hurt when he sees Aeroc smile at someone different. And Aeroc’s rejection is causing his mind to build tension that needs to be relieved. So he becomes violent. Because in this life, Clough is living a peaceful life, he goes to the bottom place to take out his stress.
In w1, he beats up Aeroc to do the same…
Aeroc medical mutates in w2 and w3… I think he would have mutated in w1 too, in the novel, he describes his meeting would Clough as predestined like he was born for him. He couldn’t understand the attraction, despite the suffering… he could take on anything if he could be with him. Aeroc according to Clough in v5 doesn’t have a knotting system…
They have the same set of kids in w2-w3. The side story ‘One afternoon’ is the continuation of v5. The hints are Aeroc just got into gardening unlike OG aeroc, Clough knows his son Lenoc likes Sioux but is acting out.. he comments ’He got that from me.’
If you read Lenoc’s side story.. Au Clough was clueless about Sioux and Lenoc.
The interesting part is Lenoc and Sioux are the same fated pair as Aeroc and Clough. Because in w3, Rapiel who married early had a miscarriage, so he and Linus are having another baby. Sioux is a few months older than Lenoc. Both sets of children were born from w2-w3.
Aeroc and Cloughs, lenoc, euria and jester
Rapiel and Linus, sioux, atlas, silas.
It’s a lot healthier. Au Clough was so angry at OG Aeroc for even suggesting that name, like are you messing with me? Do you hate me? Even if we 9 or 10 kids not one of them is going to be named Rapiel. Like never!
It’s sad because Aeroc’s best friend and childhood friend married Rapiel’s brother Ariel, and had an omega son named Rapiel. Aeroc would be depressed seeing that little boy.
I bet OG Clough feels the same pain. Because he died without resolving his relationship with Rapiel jr. The fact his spending his life with Au Aeroc and his new set of kids.. This is what he took away from his children in w1. it’s got to hurt more.
In w2 and w3, Aeroc’s mutates into an omega after meeting Clough. In w2, after there meeting and seeing each other for almost a year (if I’m right) Aeroc started emitting a sweet and bittersweet scent. In w3, this also happens, like almost the same, he started becoming sick he couldn’t understand. His interaction with Clough in both alternate worlds causes this, just as Aeroc’s presence triggers the imprint to activate in Clough.
I have two questions.
Why the alpha went to beat that beggar I don't understand, the blonde with the blue eyes is an alpha or in his third or second life he became an Omega
