The girls they commonly interact with, Cindy and Lena. Axel has been really neglected in Ian route, barely present. And if Lena rejects to call him outright (as she should, as he was stalking and beating co-workers) he basically disappears from the game. If he was a hot headed alpha he should be more persistent in getting what he wants. Now there is no tension or anything to fight for. Ian is dominating axel in all fronts, which is not a bad thing, but it is like playing the game in easy mode with no challenge.
