The whole status thing could also be to hide his tracks and what better way to hide those than be in a relationship with the president of the Hot's no one would dare think otherwise that he is gay it's the perfect cover, and also look at him when he confronts the MC he looks like he is about to breakdown the emotion from him was very telling. Someone knows his secret and it's scared the hell out of him because if it gets out it could destroy him.

This part of status with Sage is the old bullshit of being a fraternity leader, wanting him to look like the boss, having the hottest cat, another leader, as his girlfriend and blablabla.
And big guys have feelings too, right?

What he seemed to care most of all, at least to me, was the Alphas themselves. So much so that if the MC tries to intervene, this touches him.
