When I first started reading this from Season 1, I looked up novel spoilers that had summaries for all 3 parts. I have been gravely misled. I was led to believe that Kloff exacted his revenge on Aeroc precisely bc of what Aeroc did to Raphael and of course he had mixed feelings for him as well. But according to some readers of the novels, that isn't the case. He apparently never loved Raphael which makes things worse. If that is true, Idk why the author would do that...
For me personally, I like to interpret it as Kloff was conflicted bc Aeroc was an alpha and yes he was attracted to him but he also grew to love Raphael. When Raphael was murdered, he lost all sense of logic and sanity and wanted to get revenge. But his complicated feelings for Aeroc including attraction, messed up affection, longing, and hatred for what he did results in the aftermath we see.
Now for this current season, I really don't like how clear Kloff remembers the past life and how exaggerated both his and Aeroc's reactions are...There isn't enough nuance to even speculate how much Kloff remembers or how his character is diff from the past. In fact, we just heard his awful subconscious thoughts and it just makes me think he hasn't changed at all.
Lastly, I will say this ALWAYS, the omegaverse rules have never been explained. I only know this from comments and the little bit of lore they drop which is supposedly, the way bonding works, isn't necessarily through a bite and the alpha or omega can be unaware. When they are separated, it pains them so physically, it can cause vomitting of blood or decline in health. Also it is not explicitly explained or conveyed to readers that if I'm correct, bonding makes the alpha incredibly possessive to the point of aggression like toxic aggression of wanting to keep the person chained to you.
If the lore was more explicitly explained and conveyed, I feel readers might've been more receptive to the way Kloff acts but regardless I think it is overboard. Contrary to popular opinion, I have the biggest problem with how the author chose to deal with the trauma in this 2nd season rather than all the rape, abuse and torture from the first season.
