My name is Benjamin Netanyahu and this is my favorite smut! Love from Israel!
Even without the context we have as readers, a lot of elements of this event were incredibly fishy.
Firstly, the fact that Alex ran to him despite allegedly being the person who wanted him attacked isn’t adding up. If he wanted to see Nathan suffering in pain he would’ve been there at the start. He organized this with the out come of Alex being in pain, so if he’s at the scene, it’s because he wants to witness it. So why did he show up, running at full speed during the middle of it despite already knowing when and where his attack would happen? How do you set up a time and place according to your schedule and be late to your own event?
Secondly, why call someone who you know won’t be able to pick up multiple times? If Alex knows that Nathan will be beaten and treated so horribly he can’t pick up, why call Nathan back to back? These people already said Alex did it so why would he expect Nathan to pick up if he thinks Nathan would now hate him? To confirm that he was injured and his people did the job? If that was the case after the third time calling with no answer, why not call the people you hired, since they will be physically well enough to answer the phone.
Thirdly, Nathan constantly points out how Alex can’t control his emotions well at all. He knows Alex likes him due to his behavior and facial expressions. So when Alex called him frantically multiple times, ran to him arriving there physically exhausted, and evidently looks distraught and unwell, Nathan didn’t pick up on any of that at all? I fully understand that Alex said he did it, but even so his behavior was so frantic that it’s honestly hard to not be suspicious of what he said he did. Not only did it not align with his character, it didn’t make sense because previous Alex already said he’d only have relationships with an omega, why not just turn him down by saying that again? This escalation is completely out of character. Maybe if he didn’t know Alex well this would make sense but they’re best friends.
I don’t appreciate the queer baiting at all, it was very obvious Melisa would never love Yuri and it felt gimmicky. Meanwhile the relationship between Melisa and Yuri had a more life like quality than her stagnant one with Nine.
I like Nine but his relationship with Melisa felt too subservient and master like, and honestly fell incredibly flat to me. She saves him and he immediately has a huge crush on her and will do anything for her. I don’t feel like they had enough time to genuinely grow a relationship due to shared experiences, rather it was like a dog loving its owner blindly. Melisa could shit in her hands and clap and Nine would lose his mind over ts, not because of who she is, but rather one action of kindness.
The more Yuri got to know Melisa, they more she liked her due to how different she was from everyone else in her life. Her affection for Melisa grew with the time the spent together and as Yuri got to know Melisa, she fell for all the aspects that made her the woman she is. The relationship between the two of them felt much more authentic and genuine while Nine was hers to begin with simply because she saved him, it was overly cliche.
While yes Melisa also saves Yuri, it was treated more as a moment that solidified Yuri’s love for Melisa. Yuri’s interest in Melisa as a person had been steadily increasing with the time they spent together, and her saving her was the moment she knew she fell head over heels. Meanwhile Nine gets saved by Melisa and is immediately like “even if you poisoned me I’d drink it because you gave it to me” like sir bffr… it just wasn’t giving
