@LadyWolf Jaein still has unresolved issues or inner demon in him. He still feel insecure. Remember, he mindset about being a TRUE omega is all abt giving birth. I'm glad that the alpha asked him if its necessary. If his rut and his heat cycle doesn't came back, there should be an open room of conversation that "mark" is not necessary and that they can still work out or else the other one will be left hanging in expectations and disappointment.
