I was womdering the same but I remeber his mom is beta and cant smell it. I'm not sure about Hanbits Dad (the MC stepdad) if he alpha he should have know.
Besides that I think the parents left them to their own devices for long periods of time or something, cuz when they put flashbacks you see them always together as brothers with the parents MIA

And the parents were js totally chill abt ml basically smothering his younger bro in his pheromones? Bcs ain't no way they couldn't smell that. Or maybe it was so strong their nostrils would clog up worse than mine with hayfever
