1-2 ; the frost family wants to produce dominant alphas and want to avoid pregnancy, their goal is to make sure that lyle doesnt fall in love to prevent those chances. He can only take suppressants for so long considering how Kyle once got sick due to suppressants and because natrually he needs to release stress
3: Karlyle and Ash have met before however it was a bad impression because he thought Nick was having an affair with Ash since he knew Ash liked Nick but they weren’t really together
4. Im pretty sure both his parents are both alphas, and aristocrats. By keeping the bloodline pure I think they’re talking about producing dominion ant and powerful alphas(??) or the rules weren’t established before.

About 3.
You said Karlyle thought Nick was having an affair because he knew Ash liked Nick but they werent really together.
Will that be explained later on? Because from what i have read so far, it seems Karlyle met Ash on New Year when they randomly kissed. And then at the present when Nick introduced Ash to Karlyle. But based on what you said, seems like Karlyle has seem Ash again inbetween.
yeah, so this manwha is a novel adaptation so some stuff is missing, however this won’t be explained late on but I think it’ll be implied. The whole reason ash got to meet lyle again after their first bad impression and new years was because ash thought it would make nick happy if he did a favor for him (which was to help Lyle)
Ok thank you, so there really is some context missing here.
So as you said, Ash and Lyle kissed years ago.
Then later on, Lyle saw Ash again but Ash was with Nick and Lyle noticed that Ash liked Nick so he thought Nick had an affair which created the "bad impression" that they mentionned. Do you have more context about this ? Does Nick know Ash likes him? Did they do something ?
And then when the doctor talked with Lyle, the ones behind the door were Nick and Kyle holding hands. Because Nick wanted to propose Ash to help. But why did he want Ash to help ? Thats random. Alsp HOW COME the doctor and Nick prepared an alpha to fuck Lyle before even talking this out with Lyle ??? Like wtf why does the doctor tells Nick about Lyle's sex life lmao
1. ash and lyle met before they kissed on new years, lyle had a bad impression on him before the kiss. I think Nick was aware but he didn’t reciprocate the feelings bac because he liked Kyle. They were never in a proper relationship
2.Im not sure about that so I don’t have an exact answer unfortunately :( but Kyle and nick aren’t close at all so it was probably Kyle that asked nick but I can’t really say for sure, im just going off what I remeber in the novel
Keeping their bloodline pure = only married to nobles, his father’s a commoner and his mom’s a noble so that’s why Lyle becomes a “half-blood”. The reason why the marriage got approved were because his mom’s already pregnant with him and his father, even tho he’s a commoner, is a successful businessman and already made millions in a young age
About Nick and Kyle, if I remember correctly Ash and Nick were hanging out for a few times before Nick realized his feelings for Kyle. When Ash noticed that, Ash cut all of his connection with Nick (that’s why he didn’t know Nick got pregnant). They then met again, Nick asked Ash to do him a favor (to be Lyle’s sex partner) and Ash accepted because he wanted Nick to be happy (this part was missed out in the manhwa version). About the scene where Nick and Kyle were holding hands, they were there because Nick had an appointment with the doctor (his pregnancy) and he also the one introduced Ash to the doc cuz Ash has experiences in dealing with alpha
" Nick and Ash were hanging out got a few times. " As friends or more?
And if Ash cut contact with Nick when he realized Nick was inlove with Nick, that means he cut off with Nick BEFORE Nick was in a relationship. So how did Lyle ever thought Nick was having an affair with Ash? Or did that happen when Nick met Ash to ask him for the favor ?
Also, is there more context as to why Nick asked Ash for the favor ? Is it super rare for alphas to date other alphas ? And i guess thatmeans Ash still liked Nick so he agreed to the favor.
If I remember correctly, Ash was having a crush on Nick so that’s why he asking him out (Ash was introduced to Nick by a friend). But Nick, at that time, was still confusing his feelings for Kyle. He accepted to hang out with Ash because he didn’t believe he’s having feelings for his childhood friend and Ash’s also his type too. In my pov you can say that (this is just my way of comprehending their relationship) Nick “used” Ash as a means to define his feelings for Kyle (I suggest you to read KyleNick novel “Egg Benedict” to have a clearer look on AshNick’s relationship since this happened before the timeline in DTR so you can only learn about them in EB). Lyle misunderstood Nick was having an affair while AshNick were still meeting (this is also in EB)
So yea, it’s not extremely rare in this story for alphas to date alphas as it’s already mentioned that alpha x alpha couples are gradually increased in number, but it’s super rare for the upper class since their ideal is the alpha x omega type (Karlyle’s mom was once being looked down on and being called a beast since she married an alpha man and got pregnant as an alpha)
About Ash, yes, the reason why he agreed to the favor was because he still liked Nick atm and he said if him accepting it make Nick happy then he would do it
I'm sorry for repeating, but i didnt get the answer i eas looking so i will ask in other words :
Did ash and nick ever do romantic stuff : kisses / sex / holding hands. Or were they simply hanging out.
And did Nick keep having that relationship with ash even after he started going out with Kyle.?
Also a new question, i thought Ash was attracted to Alphas mostly so how come was he in love with Nick? Did Nick start as an alpha then become omega?
Sorry for missing out that part and no, they didn’t do anything intimate, just simply hanging out. And after realizing his feelings for Kyle, Nick stopped meeting Ash. About Nick, he was a beta before turning into an omega (yk like the “awaken” thing, Kyle’s a dominant alpha and Nick was influenced (?) by his pheromones and then exposed as an omega, and yea Nick’s case is different as Kyle’s a dominant alpha so you can’t apply this on AshLyle)
About Ash, he decided to date alphas after the kiss with Karlyle 6 years ago on New Year’s Eve. Before, he had an ex lover who’s an omega but that ex left him (more details in the novel). After that, he went to America for his master degree or something I forgot and he met Karlyle there. He thought that if he kept meeting alphas, he would eventually meet Karlyle again someday. The reason why he had a crush on Nick despite him being a beta were because of his extroverted persona (Ash’s type) and his alpha-like build even tho he’s a beta
I see thank you !!
Also more questions if you dont mind xD!
Was Nick approved by the frost family?
And why does Lyle talk as if he has been protecting his brother. Protect him from what? And how? He says he took on all the responsibility... Does it mean he took the spot as the heir ? But he is still portrayed as a failure so its weirdthat he wouldbe the heir...
Also isnt the grandad around 80 years old? Dude looking good for his age lmao
Lmao his grandad’s age hasn’t been mentioned but my headcanon is that he’s in his 70-80s
About Nick, he turned into an omega later and even gave birth to twins (one of them is a dominant alpha) so I think he got approved (KyleNick’s story is also kinda complicated and I haven’t read Egg Benedict yet so I can’t give you much info about them sorry )
And actually the Frost brothers have severe brother complex so Karlyle’s always been overly protective towards his brother lol. Karlyle wanted Kyle to live a carefree life so he voluntarily took all the responsibilities like family business, social interact, etc to himself. But he won’t and never become a heir as he’s just a normal alpha, the heir of the Frost family must be a dominant alpha. Maybe this was missed out in the manhwa but later, Kyle will take over Karlyle’s role and responsibility and officially become a heir. Karlyle later mainly focused on working at his father’s investment company. Idk only his grandad viewed him as a failure tho cuz he’s a normal alpha, the other family members really appreciated him
The odd part is, how did Karlyle convince his grandfather to take all responsability aka doing what the heir is supposed to do.
Obviously if Kyle was the only one worthy in the eyes of grandfather, then it's weird he let him have a carefree life. Hence why i wasnt sure if this is really what happened.
Thank you again for answering ! The manwha really does skip A LOT of context. At least now im.not lost anymore xD
Actually all the explanations are a mix of EB and DTR so that’s why you feel like a lot of things are missing out I haven’t read EB so idk why but Kyle also has his own responsibility to fulfill too, but they’re not as much as Karlyle’s as he has mental issue since he got kidnapped when he was smol (again, more details in EB). Maybe it’s also because he’s the grandad’s favorite child so he kinda gets away with everything? Idk it’s been long since I last read the novel so I couldn’t remember everything precisely lol answering your questions made me feel like I was revising everything from the novel xD
I just started and im confusdd about a bunch of stuff.
1. MC said the alphas in his family have to spend their rut with a differnt omega each time. But why ? If its to avoid falling in love, then they should be forbidden to sleep with same omega twice, not just during rut. And MC said he has an omega that he spend his rut with once a year.... Isnt that againet the rule???
2. And then MC mentions that they have to take suppressant if they dont want to follow the rule ??? Did he mean it like if you have a partner that hasmt been approve by the family, you can take the suppressant so you dont have to cheat on them and avoid breaking the rule???
3. Then during the meeting with the doctor, right after he proposed MC to get laid with another alpha, he says someone at the door might help him. And then it says "Kyle and Nicolas". And then we skip to MC and Ash as if they were introduced to each other already??? And apparently MC had a bad first impression because Nicolas was with Ash instead of Kyle ???
4. Also MC says their family keeps the bloodline pure but apparently he is a half blood or whatever... So then his mom didnt follow the rules... Right ?
Idc if it includes spoiler, please explain me because im so confused i feel like i missed a lot of context
