Jo is not really a red flag, the characters are quite realistically written, Jo really likes Ian and in the moment he of course chose to help the person he liked over a strange guy who attacked him. Idk why y'all think his reaction was so bad, as Ian just said in the preview of S3, he isn't used to high stake situations like those.
This isn't really comparable with TJ's situation, him and Ian initially became gangsters to find a way out of poverty, then TJ wanted to go up the hierarchy to protect both himself and Ian, then at some point he became more into being a gangster than anything else, hell, he was even constantly putting Ian and himself in danger because of money and power, and because he wanted those two things Ian no longer became a priority, he became his hidden secret. Ian wanted someone who wouldn't hide him and who would genuinely like him so he could have a healthier relationship. TJ can't give him that stability and won't make Ian a top priority.
Jo remains to be explored, so far we've seen that he's serious about Ian and keeps trying to prove himself to him, this time he tried in a really.messed up way but then again he's a regulat civillian, so he's not used to this much violence.
So far, I'm hoping he's endgame because he's the healthier option, we still have to wait and see how Ian works through his insecurities and trust issues as well as how both his violent world and Ian's fun world will merge, there's bound to be some mess. Let's not forget abt Jo's cousin who has ties to Ian's past environment.
Also, to add to the paragraphs written by the girls saying chase isn't a bad guy.
It was mentioned in the novel that unlike other dominant alphas dude has more empathy.
Remember that all are said to be sociopathic leaning, grayson (chase's older brother) is especially lacking in empathy.
Chase is empathetic and he doesn't release his pheromones with others. So they build up and he becomes a mess.
He's also a major introvert, he enjoys his alone time and is very picky as a person.
Mind you, dom alphas get targeted by ppl in this universe and he doesn't like being in crowds anyway.
He's also very much depressive and lonely (and he can be sui c dal).
Hope this paragraph helps y'all understandhis character a little better now!
4 years later GAGGED TF OUTTA ME GURL.
I haven't been gagged like this in years.
YEARS!
GIMME the next chapter OMG
They're both lovely and in their own right to feel what they're feeling.
They both care for the other and are doing their best. I'm curious to see where this angsty story will go.
No need to hate on either one of them, they're really well written and the story is so well paced.
We don't always have to pick a side in a story, sometimes both individuals aren't bad.
I wonder how they'll work out this whole situation...
I bet the ML is gonna run to military service as an escape and probably completely go off grid even after getting discharged.
Can you pls share the novel link?
