unrepentant
Refusing to apologize
Unrepentant means showing no regret or remorse for wrongdoing.
Someone unrepentant refuses to apologize or acknowledge fault: He remained unrepentant despite the evidence against him.
The word often carries a note of defiance—not just failing to repent but actively refusing to: an unrepentant smoker, unrepentant about her choices.
