"RIVERS! NOT ANOTHER MOVE! DO YOU HEAR ME BOY?" Cooper's loud alpha voice bounced off the walls.

We all flinched from the loud yell.

Barrett got out of my face and hands held up in surrender.

Uh, what? Even though I didn't want to kiss him, I don't want Cooper in charge of my love life. I do believe he was the one that said he won't be coming back.

"W-w-what's the matter, Cooper?" Barrett's voice shook.

"You were trying to make a move on my girl. My MATE." Cooper shook and his eyes were red.

Not black, but red.

Cooper had Barrett against the wall and his large hands wrapped around his neck.

I screamed, terrified of the scene in front of me.

Daniella ran over to Cooper immediately and tried to coax him. He pushed her out of the way and said, "Leave me alone, Daniella." In a low, alpha voice.

"LET HIM GO, COOPER CALLINGS. RIGHT NOW!" I yelled.

He didn't budge.

"Estella! You have to do something! Calm him down before he kills him!"

A girl yelled somewhere in the lunch room.

Cooper kept pounding Barrett in the face.

What is he doing? Cooper has no fucking right to beat up someone who I'm talking to. He didn't want to be with me, he wanted to be with Daniella. It was his choice, not mine. He can't go and toy with my feelings whenever he pleases. And now he's beating the hell it l out of a guy I had just met today. As soon as I heard a loud POP, I sprung into action.

What do I do?

"WHAT DO I DO?" I yell, frantic.

"Touch him, console him! DO SOMETHING!"

I ran over to Cooper and Barrett.

I flung my arms around Cooper.

"Cooper, baby, please calm down."

I showered the back of his neck with kisses as I shook, scared out of my mind.

I felt Cooper slowly stop, he shifted in my hold, so now I was in his hold.
"MINE." Cooper growls, and I roll my eyes.

His nose snuggled itself into my neck, like he was sniffing me.

I rubbed circles on his back until I heard his breathing slow. He relaxed and sighed.

"I'm really sorry, Estella. My wolf doesn't like defiance and being insulted. He took over, and I couldn't stop him, I'm so sorry Estella."

Cooper whispered in my ear, and he rubbed the back of my hair.

I don't forgive him, he broke my heart, and I still can't get over what he did to me.

"I accept your apology, but I don't forgive you. I'm not just going to let you screw me over and think an apology is going to fix everything, it's not. And I refuse to let that happen. If you want to be forgiven, then you'll have to work for it, Cooper. I'm being so damn serious right now."

The cafeteria was dead silent, as they were all listening to us. It's a good thing there are four lunches.

I heard him sigh as I got out of his hold.

"I know, I hope you know I'm never giving up on you. I'm going to get you to forgive me, and I'm going to fix this mess. I'm not going to give up on you. I never will either, I love you and that's not going to change." His eyes searched my soul.

I heard some of the cafeteria 'Awh.'
Whatever, he's only sweet in front of you guys.

"Well, have fun."

"Miss.Estella, please focus. You do have a test over this Friday."

The teacher stated matter of factly.
And why exactly is this on a Friday?

"Yes ma'am." I grumbled under my breath.

The old teacher continued on with her lecture and I sighed quietly.

Honestly, my life is such a fucking mess.
Why did I even move? Why did we decide to move? I was just fine with my old life, before Cooper and all of his drama.

The bell rang temporarily taking me out of my misery.

Only one more class, Estella. You can do it. I silently encouraged myself.

I walked myself to my locker, and lazily unlocked my locker

. "Hey, Estella."

I jumped in fright, Barrett.

"Barrett! What the fuck do you think you're doing? Do you want to die?"

"Shh!" He quietly shushed me, shoving his bent finger in my face.

"I wanted to let you know I'm okay, and I'm not badly beaten."

I wanted to laugh, his face looked like someone hit him with a car. His neck had marks around it, and his fingers were all crooked.

"Rivers, back the FUCK OFF." Cooper stomped out of the office, his hands were fisted, he was shaking, and his face was red.

Oh hell, please not another round.

"See you later, Estella!" He said very quickly, I barely caught it and he ran off.

Cooper grabbed my waist and sniffed my neck, "MINE."

Oh I don't think so, buddy.

"Hands off, Callings."

I unwrapped his arms from around me and crossed my arms over my chest.

"I don't think so."

He growled, not liking what I was doing.

I pinched his arm, "Do not growl at me."

He deeply breathed in, and let it out.

"You're right, I'm sorry. See you later El." He winked, and then proceeded to pinch my arse.

"Oh you mother fucker."

----

"Reagan, I'm bored."

"When aren't you?"

"I don't know."

"Do you wanna ride four-wheelers?"

My eyes got wide, "YES!"

"Let us ride onward then!"

We ran outside into the shed I never really noticed before. Now that I'm looking it over, how could I have missed it? It's really big and red. And it's all green around here. I must be color blind, I guess.

She put the four-wheeler in reverse and made me sit in the back, behind her.

"Do you even know how to drive this?!" I yelled as she almost hit a tree.

"No! But I figured now would be a great time!" She yelled over the napping wind, and the roaring engine.

Oh God, we're going to die.
