i'd say it;s an overstatement, spoiler
soon dane will be in heat while locked in this vila underground and goes to grayson, and it's obvious that grayson wanted to keep him there until his heat came to prove he's an omega and there are no surpresants there, so it's a no brainer that stuff will happen between them, and grayson isn't stupid enough to not know this, grayson just calls it rape more to make dane a bit guilty or smth, he can read others emotions and knows how to use them
uhm no? when the rape scenes happen it was in grayson's pov and we can really see how afraid he was for it. and first he thought dane would give in to him because they are locked up, yes that's stupid reason. i didn't know others would think he was faking it when the pov was with him. then it should show his evil thoughts. when he saw dane was in heat his first thought was to look at the butterfly in the side of his belly but since dane is forcing himself to him, he forgot his real motive. if grayson is faking shouldn't he take advantage the situation and let dane believe he got affected by his pheromones, that's why he was in rut? in that sense he has more control of the situation than when he was in rut. but no, dane needs to induce rut first before grayson had give in.
i'm just clarifying. i want to add, if grayson has this kind of motive then he shouldn't have said that the reason he locked up dane is to have sex with him. if he just wait for his heat without saying this, it is more convincing. i think we also forgot that he most of the times takes things in a literal way.
no matter what greyson did I still feel bad for him, I heard he will be raped by dane. Nobody should be raped
