Chapter 53 Slut

“Can I speak with you?” Xavier said to Thea.

“Whatever you want to say, say it here,” Alaric said. “ She’s not going anywhere with you.”

Xavier’s eye twitched. “I wanted to say I’m sorry,” he said. “There’s no excuse. I was an idiot.”

“Got that right,” Conri said.

Xavier breathed in, trying to calm himself. Something felt off to Thea. She wasn’t sure what it was, but she didn’t believe his apology.

“Do you think you could ever forgive me?” Xavier said. 

“ Is there anything I can do to get you to forgive me?”

You could hear a pin drop. Rumors of what happened between them had made their way through the school. All the students in the cafeteria were on the edge of their seats, listening.

“It’s not about forgiveness, Xavier,” Thea said. 

“You’re either the type of person who can do what you did, or you’re not. You’ve shown who you are. I don’t hold hard feelings toward you because that would just hurt me. If you want to take that as forgiveness, go for it, but I don’t believe you’ve magically changed. I don’t trust you, and I don’t think anyone should.”

People whispered throughout the cafeteria. 

“What did he do?” 

“I knew he was lying.” 

“I hope she kicked his ass.”

Kai put his nose against Thea’s neck and breathed her in to calm himself.

Xavier’s eyes went to Thea’s neck. He took in the three marks that combined to make one giant, intricate pattern.

“Three marks on one person,” Xavier said. 

“That shouldn’t even be possible, but apparently, the goddess ordained it for you. I guess it’s not your fault you like gang bangs so much. The goddess made you a slut for Alphas so weak they needed three.” 

Conri and Alaric stood up, growling. Lizzy and Misty also stood up, growling and glaring daggers at Xavier. There were growls all over the cafeteria. New Dawn pack members didn’t appreciate Xavier disparaging their Alphas and Luna.
