Gotta be honest here guys,
im not seeing anything wildly crazy. Obvi what happened in the last chp (not the flashback) was SA, but everything else, not that bad imo. We dont know the alphas situation and its stated that the mc chose to pursue ian and chose to continue interacting deapite the murky water. Hes also the one that ran from Ian first instead of listening to what he had to say.
i think its clear that the alpha has some issues but I personally wouldnt call him a red flag yet, orange at best. And also, its still unclear why hes suddenly seeking mc out anyway he could genuinely mean no harm and want to connect with his son, noah is scared sure but idk.. 100% waiting for more, this is going to be cliche w layer upon layers of silliness so imma just see what happens.
ps idk what good vibes yall are getting from that childhood friend but he gives me icky vibes
