Y'all chill your asses as this was just my thoughts lmao. But if u want me to answer that. Since Ian was still in college, like a literal baby in his family's eyes, he do not have the power/control over on the things his family could do to Noah once they got a catch on Ian liking/loving this powerless unnamed poor beta. God knows what Ian's family could do to Noah if he pushed their relationship much further. If you know how powerful psycho families are then that speaks for Ian's family.

nah he wanted to end things as soon as noah wanted to get serious, he doesn’t give a damn about him (right now). he would bite him out of alpha instinct and he started being affectionate as soon as their relationship went being beyond friends, friends with benefits do that. i don’t really think his expression when he asked about him being an omega means anything, he has that face in almost every scene lol. everything is like a game to him. all abo have different rules, can’t be sure if a dominant alpha can make a beta into an omega here. it’s pretty obvious he was pissed that he was tied down to the mc, he calls their marking “a stupid thing” and acts like it’s all the mc’s fault. it’s clear he was attracted to the mc from the get go but he literally mocks the mc for wanting love and a defined relationship
I'm just assuming but I think Ian has something to do with Noah becoming an omega. They spent a year together and a hyper dominant alpha can turn a beta into an omega. Seeing how he was so affectionate to Noah and always sticks with him when they were in college and Ian biting noah's neck was so suspicious, like bro wanted to mark Noah so bad. Another was in the present him telling Noah "so you're really an omega now huh" and looked proud like "I did that"
