It is rape. If you wanna be generous, call it dub-con. Either way, neither party was capable of consenting to sex. The bigger issue is whether we should hold either party accountable for the SA. Some people think that the ML, as the aggressor, should be held accountable. Some think the MC is at fault for showing up at ML's home unannounced. Some think both parties are at fault and others think neither are at fault.
In my opinion, it's a complicated situation and there is no right or wrong answer.
Ohhh so what happened to them really is an accident. Noah being a beta wouldnt think about Ian's rut and even if he sees he is, Ian technically shouldnt be affected by Noah bec he is a beta. But everything went downhill bec Noah changed into an omega right at that moment which both of them gave in to their instincts. Both were vulnerable, one is in his rut, one is confused bec of his transformation. So I am now eager to see what happens after.
