“Out? Out of what?”

“You’re not one of us,” Katie said, folding her arms. “I’d say you’re a Dreg now, but even Dregs deserve better than to be lumped in with a mutilating rapist-lover. You’re less than a Dreg. You’re... well, you.

“Get out of our café. You can get your breakfast from a McDonald’s drive-in.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” Levi shoved her, throwing her into a group of girls.

I knocked my chair over jumping up. I made it two steps, and so did Dean.

He punched Levi so hard and fast, I blinked, and one minute Levi was on his feet, the next he was bellowing on the floor with a gushing nose.

“You heard the lady,” Dean said. “You’re not allowed in here anymore. Guys, help him out.”

Half the rugby team seized Levi and dragged him across the floor—including Victor.

“Let go of me! Do you have any idea who I am? I’ll ruin your whole family, Dreg! Your great-grandchildren will be born with my boot on their necks! Let go—”

The guys lifted him in the air and literally threw him out the door. “Oooh,” I hissed, watching him tumble down the stairs—smacking a body part on each step on the way down. “I hope that hurt.”

Righting my chair, I sat and burrowed into Cato’s side—dropping a kiss on his muzzle. “Don’t take this the wrong way either, but I’m in love with Katie.”

“I don’t blame you,” Lucien said. He was back to his regular diet of that strange red drink. The students sitting around kept tossing him looks. “What she just did, Luna, that’s big. There’s no punishment worse for a Royal.”

“There isn’t?”

Rafael shook his head. “Imagine that scroll Burkhardt showed you. Then imagine all the lines and connections around the Thompkins name going up in smoke. It doesn’t stop at a bunch of coeds icing him out. No one in Regalia will have anything to do with him or his family now.”

“His entire family? Katie has the power to do that?”

“When you’re ranked as high as her, you can tell a Royal to sit, stay, and bark, and they will,” Wilder said. “No one wants to piss off someone with more money, power, and connections than them. Still, that power truly lies with Saylor. Normally, her crew wouldn’t do anything like that without her permission, and her handing down the sentence herself, but”—he grinned—“they’re not talking these days.”

“Oooh, such a pity,” I mocked. “The first time Saylor Burkhardt’s ever felt what it’s like to be on the outside.”

I checked my phone. “I have to get to class. Wilder, we still on for tonight?”

“No,” he gruffed. “I told you, I will not meet at an unknown location in the middle of the night for an undisclosed reason.”

I giggled. “Otherwise known as a surprise date where I pick the place. I told you I’m not giving anything away. You’ll just have to trust me.”

“No.”

“And wear the blindfold.”

“Fuck no.”

I smooched his cheek. “Oh, you’ll be there. I have ways of making you do what I want, O’Rourke.”

His brows climbed his forehead. “Challenge accepted.”

I went around and kissed all my guys goodbye, then left for English class. The closer I got, the heavier my steps fell. I was excited to see Adonis and nervous to see Victor. I hadn’t spoken to Adonis since we got each other off on his desk—again. And I hadn’t spoken to Victor since I manhandled him in the café.

Things were up in the air with both of them and Joseph Collins help me if I knew why. Adonis wanted me, and Victor wanted to marry me. It should be as simple as that, but the Wilson brothers didn’t do simple.

I arrived at the door, pausing to take a deep breath. Whatever they threw at me, I wasn’t taking any shit. This was the new Luna who didn’t play games and took what she wanted.

Stepping inside, both brothers looked up and latched on to me immediately. Adonis broke off quick, returning to straightening the papers on his desk.

Victor smirked.

The insufferable jackhole.

I flipped him off and got a howling laugh in return. Steaming, I stomped past him and went to my regular seat in the back. It was like Victor knew I went the weekend twisting myself in knots, and he loved that I was getting mixed up over him for a change.

Didn’t make sense that I was. Victor and I didn’t have good memories to share. We didn’t have good sex to miss. He was just the guy I let put a ring on my finger in exchange for tuition.

So why did my heart fall out of my chest when I read that note and thought it was over?

“Good morning, class. If you haven’t handed in your essay, bring it up now.”

That was for me. I climbed down with my paper, hanging back until the other students walked away. Adonis didn’t look up from his laptop when I approached. “Set it on the pile. Thank you.”
