*Taylor's POV*
Just as the bell rang I gathered all of my stuff ready to leave when I noticed that Xavier & I were the last ones left, it almost seemed like he was waiting for me but that can't be right I'm a loser so no one ever really wants to be around me unless it's to bully me, I shrugged it off to wishful thinking. I started heading to my next class where I noticed that he was indeed walking with me although I didn't see his friends so I just kept walking with my head down as usual, for once it was nice and peaceful since nobody bothered me which I was thankful for.
When I got to class I went to my usual seat to wait for the lesson to start, as I looked up I saw Xavier's friends enter the room with concerned looks on their faces, as soon as they sat down Xavier turned to them which I'm guessing they were talking through their mindlink then I caught all three of them looking at me out of the corner of my eye with now worried and almost scared looks on their faces so I sunk down lower into my chair hating any kind of attention..what the hell was that!
One they turned back around I released my breath that I hadn't even realized that I was holding and just paid attention to the lesson well I tried to anyway, I couldn't help thinking what was going on since nobody has looked at me like that since my mother disappeared so I was curious about what happened and why were they looking at ME like that. The next couple classes went seemingly uneventful until after I put my things away for lunch as I was heading towards the cafeteria I noticed Andrew & his goons standing near the door probably waiting for me so I continued walking while dreading what torture they would bestow on me today.
I heard their laughter as I got closer knowing they already saw me coming and as usual blocked my path then shoving me against the wall calling me names but what I didn't realize or acknowledge Xavier walking around the corner to us, when he saw me he smiled until it hit him what they were planning on doing. All of a sudden I heard him growl at Andrew then asking them "what do you think you're doing?" at which point they just laughed and proceeded to tell me "why would you want to have anything to do with HER? She's an ugly freak, just a pathetic loser!"
As he was saying these things about me I hung my head down as tears started stinging in my eyes, even though I've gotten used to all the names it still hurts. What happened next shocked & confused me right down to my core, Xavier's eyes turned black so I knew his wolf was in control then grabbed Andrew by the neck slamming him against the wall and told him "if I EVER hear of you bothering or even being NEAR her again I will shred you to pieces, do you UNDERSTAND you might also want to relay the message to your whores as well?". I couldn't believe my ears, the only one who ever tried standing up for me was Sam. I have never seen Andrew so scared and he's the soon to be alpha wow as Xavier dropped him to the floor he then turned to me asking "are you ok, did they hurt you?", I was still shocked so I just shook my head no.
After that he walked with me into the cafeteria where I continued on my way out of the back door to me & Sam's usual spot under the tree but little did I know that Xavier followed me until I heard him growl at Sam and as I turned around with a shocked look on my face I placed my hand on his arm at which point he looked at me while I felt a tingle of sparks up my arm & his expression softened as he calmed down. I then turned to look at Sam when realization hit us like a brick, HOLY S**T..Xavier was my mate!!!
