Honestly, I don’t know what you might think. It wasn’t outright forced, but using a condition like ‘payment’ is still a kind of force, if you ask me.
He wasn't asking for sex
Kloff said he wants Aeroc as payment but he doesn't mean he wants sex, I noticed that was what people think of what he'll do to Aeroc like "force Aeroc into sex" situation.
We must’ve read different things, because he really did ask for Aeroc’s body. I’m not saying this because I dislike Kloff, but because that was literally in the contract. Sure, he delayed the sex to get to know Aeroc first, but in the end, his motive was to have Aeroc’s heart and body. That’s different from how things went in the first life. And here’s the bigger point: there’s a difference between direct force and indirect force. A contract isn’t the same as genuine willingness.
Ok I see your point! But my point is he never forces sex on Aeroc anymore xD He asked for Aeroc/Aeroc's Body but he didn't force sex on him anymore. He waited until our baby Aeroc is comfy. A contract yes, but unlike the first life where he required Aeroc to take the pills and sex, he isn't doing that anymore. People assumed that he treated Aeroc the same way or worsse when the story/novel's point is that he also changed.
Or maybe you are blinded by his actions on the first life, I can understand that much. Dw! U good!
Do you have a link for 3rd timeline novel?
I’m not like, “Oh, I hate him so much that I’ll ignore everything else he does.” What you said is true he didn’t force sex in Third Life the way he did in First Life ( that act called Grape, in short). That’s exactly the point: Third Life was his redemption arc. If he had repeated all the same things, then the arc would’ve had no purpose. i actually wrote a Fourth Life fanfic where I explored his regrets. The tricky thing is that we never got inside Kloff’s head in Third Life since it wasn’t from his POV. Readers only had his actions to go on, and they could interpret those however they wanted. But you have to agree he has a manipulative personality, and he acted according to what he wanted.
I’m good, by the way.
All I have to say is, Kloff doesn't have a redemption arc cuz nothing could ever redeem him.
So hey, I think some people who already know the spoilers think that Kloff of third timeline will act the same way he did in 1st timeline. He doesn't. Even for the stalking part lol because again, he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake in the past where it was clear they liked each other but because of the "tradition of alpha and omega couple" he married Rapiel. He basically publicly, shamelessly pursues Aeroc xD
Third timeline Kloff will not force Aeroc in sex. Aeroc misunderstands Kloff when he asked for help and Kloff says "you/your body" as payment for helping him with contracts.. he just meant he wants to spend some time with Aeroc (like actual dates). When Aeroc takes off his clothes, Kloff mentions that he will wait until he gets his affection bec he doesnt want to force Aeroc into anything!!
I still don't like him though but Im happy he changed somewhat in that version.
