That’s a mistranslation, the official website has fixed it but the uploader here didn’t. That time Lyle was knotting in the air, not Ash as at that time, he’s not in rut and alphas in this story can only knot when they’re in heat cycles (you can see Ash saying in the last chapter that this is the first time he ever knotted)
If I remember correctly, it wasn’t mentioned clearly in the novel but from what I understand, alphas in this story can only knot when they’re in heat cycles and feel a lot of pleasure during their ruts. Ash and Lyle didn’t knot in their other times having segg (yk how wild they can be during segg) instead when they’re in rut
No but didn't Ash knot Lyle once before??? I don't remember the chapter but i remember Lyle being suprised and thinking is Ash knotting him.
