I get that feeling too.
But Alex knows that Clark is only playing with him, it is a mutual using of the other. Only, Alex is falling in love but Clark isn't and he knows that.
But this conflict within Alex is having him change his targets. Before he only killed his lovers but now he seems to want to take out others close to Alex.
But I think if Alex does that, then Clark might kill Alex.
The ring might change things. But not sure how. Maybe a focus on the doctor? Will he seduced the doctor? Fuck him?
I don't know.
Ok, so this is my take on the story:
Alex kills his lovers when he feels that their love is mutual but they are trying to get away. He watched his loved ones walk away from him all his childhood and was powerless to change it. So by killing them and making it impossible for them to walk away forever he fells powerful and satisfies that urge.
The first one had a really good relationship with her family and friends, and had a trip scheduled. The second one was getting married to someone else. The third one wasn't so clear, but I'm guessing his hot and cold tendencies had him killed.
Clark is a sociopath who takes pleasure in manipulating people and studying the dark side of humans. Probably because he himself is far from normal in spite of what he believes. That ring leads me to believe that he might actually have feeling of some kind for the Doctor. Even if it's just affection, that's more than anybody else in his life got from him by the looks of it. Another evidence is that he is going all out to make sure Alex falls for him and leaves his Doctor alone. He is risking his life for him!
I have no idea where this is going. But my guess is that Alex is gonna grow more and more obsessed. He knows Clark is only playing him. And he is going after the other men in Clark's life.
I feel like the Chief of Police will be the first. Alex will see them together on the next chapter, and maybe even recognize his voice from that one phone call. And maybe that will trigger his downfall. Maybe the Congressman will use his power to avenge his son.
The Doctor though... He is even more in danger. He is the only one in Clark's frozen heart. And it would be so easy, with him being in love with Alex. I don't think he will be killed fast. I think Alex will threaten him to keep Clark to himself. I hope the Doctor realizes the situation they are in soon though. Otherwise he will really end up dead.
Sorry for the long rant. This story is really good! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
