I know Michael is supposed to be a despicable person/shifter but his scenes made me cringe the whole time. It kind of took away from the special moment between Aiden and Ethan.
The two scenes are polar opposites from each other but it might have been better if it were 2 sides of the same coin. Like showing how you can start with the same thing but depending on your choices, the future can be vastly digferent.
The alpha of the rogues thinks he is less than an omega but everyone has a role i n society and there isn't really a chance for him to redeem himself even if only gain a little bit of humility. It's one thing to have someone else mention that he should feel humiiliated but he isn't going to "learn his lesson" and be I guess more human.
I can reread all your other chapters, but this one I don't think I can reread again.
