Omegas in this universe are actually more dominant (specially if they are dominant omegas) than alphas, when it comes to pheromones and marking. One alpha can only have one omega, but one omega can have many alphas. In zig’s universe, the omegas are also the ones who do the marking.
Dominant alphas are by nature psicopaths, specially if they manifest young (like grayson and his sister). They are obligated to release their pheromones through orgies with dominant omegas ( or through medical proceedures) every month during their heat cycle, otherwise they will deadass get brain damage and go fucking insane, its not something they can control like a mental illness, its more like their brains become scrambled eggs or like they have rabbies idk how to explain.
Ok so now SPOILERS (do not read if you dont want these)
. . . . . . .
Thats what happened to their dad Ashley miller, he was madly in love with koi, some shit happened (i dont wanna spoil you) and so he didnt release his pheromones for over 10 years. Thats why he is so fucked up.
Ashley became really possessive and controlling of koi, even when it came to their kids (koi doesnt even complain tho he is exaclty where he wants to be tbh), the fact that grayson tried to poison koi just made things worse and ashley made it harder for them to have any contact With koi. Its not that they were abusive as in hitting them, its mostly like they were negligent.
Ashley locking his kids in the wardrobe is mostly because his dad dominic did that to him, so he was taught like that, later on he also came to find comfort in hiding in the closet when he started to get brain damage. He also truly believed koi’s absence wouldnt affect the kids because he grew up without his omega’s dad presence as well. Its overall kind of generational trauma.
Another way to extract pherormones other than orgies is for it to be manually extracted, but thats very painful and less efficient, therefore discouraged.
Actually, extracting pheromones now is a lot more advanced and less painful than during Ashley’s times, at that time the procedure was longer and involved excruciating pain.
They also used to test on ashley but then again not as efficient and couldnt be done as much, so his pheromones really accumulated and he became insane (fun fact, this business also wanted to test on koi and ashley didnt let them cause hes very protective of him).
Thats why ashley encouraged his kids from a young age to release their pheromones on these parties, which is very insane overall cause some of them were minors as far as i know (havent gotten to all novels yet so some details might be missing).
Chase was kind of rebellious and just refused to go to these parties (he was a virgin until chase) so he used to just extract them manually like i said. He is considered the greenest flag among the alpha siblings? Still he is also crazy himself and tried to kill ppl like 5 times during his novel theres also dub con on his novel due to heat and so on.
I believe grayson’s brain as well as his twin sister is more damaged because besides from manifesting as soon as they were born, they probably werent able to partake in the phenomenon parties (aka orgies) since they were minors… but im not sure, idk if they only get their heats after puberty or smth. It is canon tho that grayson doesnt have feelings or morals, he truly only cares about dane.
Thats also the case for most dominant alphas on zig’s universe, they are all kind of psychopaths and only really care about their partners (not necessarily omegas, like in Nathaniel’s case (his bf is a beta)).
Im reading lick me up if you can rn (ashley and kois novel) and tbh im loving it, its really cute overall, with angst, earning, chasing and etc. a bunch of tropes i love like popular sporty rich guy x nerdy/ loser poor guy. The romance is really sweet and they are a great couple.
Its just unfortunate how they became bad parents because of all the trauma and emotional baggage they were carrying ( more shit went down during their novel, but then again i dont want to spoil it too much), ashley also didnt want any kids, koi was the one who wanted 12. Eventually ashley agreed to ONE kid, but koi just kept convincing and lowkey manipulating him to have more
Ashley even went to the lengths of getting a vasectomy, but as it is said on this chapter, a dominant alphas sperm is VERY strong. they finally stopped when they had an omega kid because he resembled koi so ashley was like “enough”
Overall id just say every character in her novels are at best morally gray you cant just hold them to normal “human/ real life” standards, cause thats not how their minds and biology are wired.
Someone in the comments deadass said “mentally ill ppl also need to take accountability”… and i agree… but its not the case here its not that they are mentally ill, its just that their minds dont work yk?
I hope this clears somethings up. Lmk if you have any questions and if you see someone asking for spoilers, just feel free to copy and paste this comment if you want.
Just don't make it worse i know some of you like the idea about uncle and nephew but i really disagree with that and it will ruin everything.. so DON'T just don't
I dont care about the novel but still even i got abuse and lock up i can never just let the kid have same situation with my past
he was like "oh i need to help this kid! what? your dad's trying to kill you? well he's your dad let me stay here with you while you die "
Well essentially some things you gotta know:
