SPOILER! SPOILER!! SPOILER!!!
For those who don’t want to read the novel and don’t want to wait forever to find out wth is going on, I’ll drop some spoiler below.
Once again, spoiler below!!! I don’t have the option to hide my comment, so if you don’t want to see, scroll past.
ML is a Ghost Alpha that has the ability to turn betas into omegas when he knots. And when that happens, his eyes turn white for some time like they showed in the last panel. Which is why he was wearing the sunglasses when talking to MC (to hide his eyes).
ML is a green flag, and their relationship is one of the best ones out of all BLs I’ve read…But of course there has to be some angst, and that is the fact that ML didn’t tell MC he was changing him into an omega.
MC is a special type of beta called a diamond dust. He’s the fated mate of ML which is why only ML can smell his pheromones, and MC can only smell ML’s pheromones.
