To everyone saying that the ML's talking nonsense when Noah ran away from him: the ML meant back when they were still in the US, when he broke up with Noah. He's essentially saying that the last chance Noah had of running away from him was when they weren't yet bonded. Now that they are, The Plot Insists they be together. Maybe the whole reason why the ML took so many years to track Noah down is because he was actually protecting him and their child, so he delayed things a bit. Who knows? There's probably a whole dark plot point going on in the background about why he's acting this way, but I'm not really fond of how the author's going about it...
