You are not rational

Sage

I stopped picking up the professor’s calls.

I avoided him in the hallways, pretended not to see him when he passed by, and ignored the way my heart twisted every time I caught a glimpse of him. It was pathetic, but I couldn’t bring myself to face him. Not after everything.

And the worst part? I had no one to blame but myself.

I should have let things go when he told me his version of the story. I should have accepted it and moved on instead of letting Valarie worm her way into my thoughts, making me question everything.

I was crashing out and rethinking everything. Now that I know that the professor was honest when he told me his story, I was even more pissed at myself for being so gullible.

I could have seen this coming, you should always anticipate that the past would threaten the present.

But I didn’t. And now, here I was, drowning in my own misery.

The only person remotely pleased about my situation was Kaiden, not that I’d call him happy. No, he wasn’t gloating or celebratin

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   A backbone at last

    SageAfter that last conversation with the professor, everything went downhill.Now, it was his turn to avoid me.It was worse than I ever could have imagined. Every time I turned around, it seemed like he and Valarie were getting closer. They weren’t exactly together, but the way they talked, the way they stood near each other, the way she smiled up at him like she had a right to, it was enough to make my stomach twist.He ignored my calls. He ignored my texts. Even in class, when he used to meet my gaze as if no one else in the room mattered, he barely even looked in my direction.It was humiliating.It was miserable.I was miserable.And the worst part? I had no one to blame but myself.I did this. I pushed him away. I let Valarie’s words get under my skin, and now I was paying the price.She came to scatter my happiness and I let her do it, no questions asked. I should have fought just like he was fighting.

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Dangerous thoughts

    SageIt was diabolical, the way my mind worked sometimes.The way Valarie had spoken to me, the way she had smiled like she knew something I didn’t, it had lit something dark inside me.For the first time, I truly realized that she could be put out of the way.The thought shouldn’t have made me feel so calm.But it did.I hated being malicious towards people but there was just something about her that brought out the dark side in me. I wanted her gone.I went home, grabbed my laptop, and didn’t stop searching until I found exactly what I was looking for.A slow smile spread across my lips as I shut the screen.Then, for the first time in a long while, I slept soundly.I woke up early Sunday morning, the kind of early that made the world feel quiet and unreal. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden glow over the city.I got dressed carefully, smoothing down my shirt, running my fingers through my hair until I looked… presentable. Innocent.And then I went straight to

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   The panel’s verdict

    SageI wasn’t expecting trouble that morning, the only thing on my mind was to keep trying till I get back in the professor’s good graces.I had barely stepped onto campus when security stopped me.“Mr. Fleming, you need to report to the disciplinary panel immediately.”My stomach dropped.I stiffened, my grip tightening on the strap of my bag. “What? Why?”The guard shook his head. “I don’t know the details. Just head over now.”A lump formed in my throat as I nodded. My pulse raced as I walked across the courtyard, my mind running wild with possibilities. Had someone found out about me and Professor Wilder? Had Valarie done something? Had Kaiden done something?Was there any clue? I desperately needed to know before I lost my shit.By the time I reached the panel’s meeting room, my palms were sweating. I wiped them on my jeans but it didn’t help, I was in a constant state of anxiety.I stepped inside and froze.Professor Wilder and Valarie were already seated. So were other members

    SageI glanced at him, “I should be asking you that,” I muttered.He exhaled sharply, rubbing the back of his neck as he led me out of the room. “I’ve had worse days.”I scoffed. “Yeah? Well, I haven’t.”That earned me a small smirk, but it disappeared just as fast as it came.I struggled for what to say, I had no idea where to say or what I wanted to say. It was one thing to bring his private life out but the fact he did it so we could have peace.We walked in silence for a moment before I finally asked, “What made you do it?”He gave me a side glance. “Do what?”“Report her.”He shrugged, like it was nothing. Like he hadn’t just thrown a grenade into Valarie’s life. “She had to go,” he said simply.I frowned. “Just like that?”“Just like that.”I stopped walking and turned to face him fully. “But why now? It didn’t seem to bother you before when she was following you around.”He sighed, folding his arms. “Because before, she was just an inconvenience. Annoying, yes, but manageable.”

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Prologue

    KaidenIn the lecture hall, the faint scent of lavender and cedar lingered, a scent I couldn’t ignore even if I tried. It was Sage’s scent, soft, alluring and a whisper of the beta’s presence that made my wolf stir beneath his skin. Sage didn’t know his own allure, oblivious to the ripple of interest he left behind everywhere he went. But I knew. I had always known.From the moment we met, I had vowed to protect Sage from everything, including himself. Alphas were predators by nature, drawn to the innocence and vulnerability of a beta like Sage. He wasn’t an omega yet he possessed qualities like one.But I wasn’t an alpha, although I was possessive, territorial, and deeply aware of how much control it took to keep myself from claiming Sage outright.The problem was, Sage didn’t belong to me. Not yet.Sage was sitting in the front row, furiously jotting down notes as Professor River droned on about some engineering stuff. His deep voice was smooth as honey, laced with that Alpha autho

    SageI was a failure as a man.All through my Twenty five years, I could count the number of times I have spoken to the member of the opposite sex except asking for directions. I was inept when it came to talking to women and for some reason, Kaiden thought he could help me.The low hum of conversations buzzed in the background as I sipped my black coffee. The window seat was my favorite spot, close enough to people-watch but far enough to feel removed from the crowd. I couldn’t focus today, though. My eyes kept darting toward the door every time it opened. I don’t even know why. Maybe I was hoping for some sign that the universe didn’t hate me.“You’re brooding again,” Kaiden’s voice cut through my thoughts. He wasn’t even looking at me, just scrolling through his phone as his hands tapped absently on the table, like he was the most confident person in the room.I gave a half-hearted chuckle. “Just thinking.”Kaiden raised an eyebrow without looking up. “About?”“Nothing important.”

    By the time we got to Kaiden’s apartment, my nerves were frayed. I trailed behind him, my steps slow and hesitant. What the fuck had I just agreed to? My mind kept replaying the conversation at the coffee shop. The idea of “training” with Kaiden had seemed ridiculous at first. But now, standing in his apartment, it felt real and terrifying.Kaiden unlocked the door and walked in like it was just another normal evening. He tossed his keys onto the counter and kicked off his shoes without a care in the world. Meanwhile, I hesitated in the doorway, my hands stuffed deep in my pockets, the air feeling way too heavy.“Relax,” Kaiden said, flashing me a grin as he shrugged off his jacket. “I’m not gonna bite.”I tried to laugh, but it came out strained. “Right. I know.”Kaiden leaned against the kitchen counter, crossing his arms as he looked at me. His gaze wasn’t judgmental, more amused, like he was waiting for me to settle down.“You’re making this a bigger deal than it is,” he said af

My hands reached out to grab the base of his cock and Kaiden flinched, the desire in his eyes growing by the second. “L…like this?” I asked, unsure if I was doing the right thing.Kaiden nodded.I tightened my fists around the cock with my heart pounding so hard in my chest. I felt a stirring in me that I have never before, I found myself wanting to please Kaiden.I leaned forward before I could stop myself with my tongue darted out to lick the precum,“Jesus,” Kaiden swore, his hand coming down on my head to grab a fistful of hair. He guided my head to his dick.“Open your mouth,” he ordered.I did as he said as he guided my mouth to it, the taste of him filled my senses. The mixture of salt and something masculine made my mouth water.My tongue darted out to lick it when Kaiden’s hand tightened on my hair, I let out a groan and looked up, that same

    Kaiden’s POVI rushed over to his place the moment he texted me. He knew our short comings right now but he chose to ignore that and reach out to me.I knew Sage better than anyone, and for him to reach out like this meant something had shaken him.I was willing to bet money that Valarie had arrived to take back her man.That should have made me happy. The plan was working, wasn’t it?Still, the moment I pushed open the door, I wasn’t prepared for the sight in front of me.Sage was pacing. The first thing I noticed was his hair, it was an absolute mess, sticking up in every direction as if he had been running his hands through it all day His shirt was slightly wrinkled, and his eyes had that wild, frenzied look he got when he was overwhelmed.Dried tears stuck to his cheeks and I had to guess he had been crying too.Poor thing.I closed the door behind me, taking in the absolute disaster of a person in front of me, and amusement curled in my chest.“Wow,” I said, crossing my arms. “

    KaidenI was sick of waiting. My impatience was beginning to piss me off.The more I watched, the more I was disappointed with the results. The other time were the pictures which didn’t work given that they were still together in their delusional world. It still wasn’t enough for me. No matter how many times I watched from the sidelines, waiting for Sage to wake up and see the truth, it wasn’t enough.He was mine.He just didn’t know it yet.And that professor? That smug, polished, perfect bastard? He was the only thing standing in my way.I had tried to be patient. Tried to wait for Sage to realize that this whole thing with the professor was doomed to fail especially during the time they were fighting.I liked that they weren’t speaking to each other and it was an opportunity for me to slip right back to where I was but it didn’t work out like that:Sage too was an idiot. Instead of crumbling, their relationship only seemed to grow stronger. It was infuriating for me.I needed a cr

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   We are never ever getting back together

    SageThe first thing I became aware of was the pounding in my head. The second was the muffled sound of angry voices.I groaned and blinked my eyes open, squinting against the harsh white light of the school clinic. My vision was blurry at first, but as it cleared, I saw them.Professor and Valarie.They were standing at the foot of my bed, locked in a heated argument with hand gestures and stuff. The professor looked tired like he was tired of talking, he kept scratching the back of his neck. I knew it because everything he was exasperated by me, he often rubbed that place. I could see how much her return had taken a toll on him. I groaned again and pressed a hand to my forehead. “What… happened?”He turned to me immediately, his expression softening just slightly. “You fainted, but the nurse said it was nothing serious.”Before I could process that, Valarie let out a dramatic sigh. “Apparently, you couldn’t handle the truth. The moment you heard that we’re getting back together, y

    SageIt was surprising.I thought he would be angry with me for meeting her in the first place, he would know I never trusted him and decided to hear from another source.I would be furious if I was in his shoes. Anyway, I am glad he didn’t take offense.I had a new mission, stay away from Valarie.It sounded simple enough. In fact, I was determined to follow through. But, of course, the universe had other plans.Because the very next class on my schedule? History.And my new professor? Valarie.I groaned inwardly as I walked into the lecture hall, keeping my head down and moving quickly to my seat. Maybe if I didn’t make eye contact, she’d pretend I didn’t exist.No such luck.When I finally glanced up, our eyes met. She was already staring at me, an unreadable expression on her face. I forced myself to look away and focus on anything else, the desk, my notebook, the wall anything but her.I didn’t want to give her the wrong impression and make people start questioning our relationsh
