Completely understand, i took a break at 55 bc I was worried lowkey wish I didn't finish it;;
IIRC, ML kept saying he hates omegas and likes alphas. Which is why MC is keeping his distance post-secondary gender reveal. Pre-secondary gender reveal he's keeping his distance because he doesn't want his heart broken because based of chapter 1 most males are Alpha so MC thinks he'll be an Alpha (so does ML, seen by his insistence that he likes alphas and hates omegas, kinda backfires on him doesn't it) also based on chapter 1 in lore, alpha x alpha is impossible as is omega x omega.
So all in all if MC was an Alpha they wouldn't be in love based on the lore, hence the distance keeping. ML knowing this tries to reassure MC by telling him that he hates omegas and loves alphas, however MC turns out to be an omega who now thinks that ML is going to hate him.
I'm at chapter 41. Can someone congratulate me having to reach this chapter even after being annoyed af with the mc with all his bs. I don't even understand why he keeps hurting his alpha. I get so annoyed and pissed everytime he puts distance between them. What is he even doing when the alpha loves him so much and he feels the same??? I'm now crying bec of frustration
