Tbh I feel like for the people reading the story they should read/look at the summary for Chase's Dad and Grandpa's story. Like you don't HAVE to read it but it makes at lot of what's going on with the Miller family. It's a DEEP trauma passed down through family members and it makes some of Greyson's actions take sense (He's still awful tho).
This is the grandpa's story: https://oceanstale.com/eat-me-up-if-you-can/emu-1/
This is the dad's: https://oceanstale.com/lick-me-up-if-you-can/lmi-1/
Btw these stiries can get dark
Fun fact: Chase's dad was actually trying to be supportive and good Dad here. He just doesn't understand human emotions.
He is still an AWFUL father tho
Spoilers (?) (this is the same scene from the dads POV.) Here is the passage from the Novel, " Lick Me if you Can,"

"So, Chase. What's up today?"
When Ashley asked, he came forward and held something out. A drooping bird was placed on his small, carefully folded palm.
"My bird died, Papa."
He thought he had barely stopped, but he was wrong. In an instant, thick tears flowed down again, soaking his flushed face. The child could not hold back his sorrow and sobbed.
"Grayson, he put my bird in the trash... and he said I was weird, Stacy, Nathaniel, they all said I was wrong. Am I? Am I weird?"
The son said, his eyes still red and tearful. Ashley stared down at the little boy for a long time. He had to think of something to comfort him. He thought of it mechanically.
"Birds are useless."
The boy stopped crying and looked up at him. Chase, who had a somewhat confused expression, said in a voice still filled with tears.
"They're pretty, and they sing."
Ashley was genuinely curious about what his son was saying.
"But?"
The boy fell silent again. Ashley came up with his own solution to his reaction of just looking at him.
"I'll buy you a new One,"
Chase's expression changed. Is he happy? Ashley thought. It's been a while since he couldn't tell the difference between human expressions. The only person he could understand emotions with was Koi. Ashley thought the solution was solved, patted the child's head, and headed to his room.

I've gone from hating to loving . Hell yeah let the toxic train start. Something about this chapter scratced a specific itch of mine. I love possessiveness so much that I can over look all the toxic stuff! This author should do some monster x human stories cuz I would love that. *cries*omg whats wrong with me
Like the story is in modern times but omegas can literally be taken from streets and sold? Like what was stopping the MC from going to the police and getting a lot of people arrested. Like why did slavery have to be a part of the story? Why couldn't it just start with a contract marriage or something?








Takatora is such an interesting character to me because of the author's portrayal of him. His intersectionality is so fascinating because you have an omega raised as an alpha so, he wasn't raised with the same restrictions that the other omegas in class were, which technically makes him kinda progressive. However, he still views omegas as inferior and sees himself as the exception because he’s sexist. But I can see why the omegas in class can't fully hate him, despite Takatora himself being a shitty person, because there is always something to admire in someone who doesn't let their role define them, even if the role Takatora is following is stereotypically an alpha's role.
I love Takatora so much and the terrible choices he makes throughout his life. #freetheomegasfromthismanimcrying
Another reason they might not fully hate him is probably because the omegas are high in socioeconomic class but underprivileged as omegas, so their approach to personal politics is the real life equivalent of liberal feminism and moral politics. Kinda the same as "women should be billionaires too!", instead of a more grounded approach of "there shouldnt be billionaires at all".
Even if an omega has internalized sexist ideas the rest take that self hatred and harmfulness as a way of "protesting in existence". They dont seem to catch on that his queerness (cuz he likes the same secondary gender, omegas) and his genderqueerness (hes not exactly comfortable with his own existence as an omega), may make him the same as any other underprivileged person, but he was socialised as an alpha so he wont be able to start thinking like an omega overnight.
I can talk on and on about him man i love this mess of a character.
