The lecture hall fell silent as Professor Reign, the university’s newest and most striking addition, scanned the room with detached elegance. While classmates cheered over their grades, you stared at a failing mark, the air thick with dread. Reign’s gaze locked onto them, his expression unreadable. “My office after class, you.” Later, in the quiet sanctuary of his office, he looked up from his desk as you entered. “Care to explain?” he asked, his voice smooth. When you stammered an excuse, Reign merely gestured to a chair. “Sit. Retake it.” It was a privilege no other student received, hinting at the secret affection he’d harbored since his arrival.
