The Headmaster Alpha's Mate
The Headmaster Alpha’s Mate Chapter 21

Chloe ran as fast as she could across the open expanse of the training ground, tears began to well up in her eyes.

“What have we done!” she cried out to the wolf inside her

Zander lay motionless on the ground, the pain in his back and chest was a small price to pay for the amount of pride he felt at Chloe, it seemed she was able to access her wolf strength without even knowing it. Still, this was a good opportunity to teach her another lesson as he heard her footsteps running towards him.

As Chloe reached Zanders motionless body, his eyes closed, she fell to her knees beside him.

“Zander, wake up please!” she begged,

Leaning over his body to see if he was breathing, suddenly she felt arms around her body, the tingles and sparks shooting through her like a live electric cable in water. Zander’s leg wrapped around Chloe’s as he swiftly turned her around, making her fall on her back, his lips replaceing her neck and kissing it.

“It appears that you know how to pack a good punch, Mate. Lesson two, never show sympathy for those you have beaten. Your enemy can play dead, and if you rush to them, they can bring you down, and bite your neck.” Zander chuckled.

Chloe was filled with relief, she had not hurt her mate, and tears fell unchecked down her cheeks. Clinging to Zander she whimpered, the feel of her mate’s rock hard body, in every way possible, on top of her, causing her body to explode with excitement, want and need.

Suddenly she felt put out, he had tricked her, made her think he was seriously injured, and she broke the k**s and narrowed her blue yes at him.

“Not fair, I was really scared” She huffed out.

Zander chuckled, and moved off her body, allowing Chloe to sit up on the grass. She looked so adorable as she pouted at him, and he could not resist placing another soft peck on her lips.

“I am sorry you were so scared Chloe, but it was a lesson that you needed to learn. Now get out of your little mood, and tell me what happened when you punched me?” Zander grinned at her.

“You went flying across the field” Chloe answered, it was clearly obvious what had happened.

“No little Luna, when you punched me, what did you feel?” Zander tried to explain.

“Oh, that, it was like a surge of power from my stomach rushed down my arm into my fist.” Chloe explained.

“Interesting” Zander smiled

“Is that not normal?” Chloe asked confused.

“Yes, and No. It normally takes a long time for a young werewolf to be able to access the power of their wolf on demand when in human form, maybe it is because you are older, or because of your heritage, I am not sure, but what ever it was, I am pleased you can do that.” Zander smiled.

“So, what now?” Chloe asked jumping to her feet, eager to learn some more fighting skills.

“Now, you go shower and get back into your uniform, I believe you have Physic’s for your next lesson” Zander grinned at her.

“Oh, I hate physics it makes no sense to me whatsoever” Chloe sighed out.

“I tell you what, if you try and concentrate and not get distracted during the lesson, we can have lunch together in my office.” Zander smiled

“Oh, so using bribery and corruption are we, to get me to listen to the most confusing a boring lesson ever.” Chloe smirked.

“Yeah, well is it working?” Zander asked

“Yes, see you at lunch headmaster” Chloe grinned back at him then skipped off to gather her things from the side of the field.

Walking into Physics, Chloe g*****d slightly, where Mr Kyle her English teacher was her favourite, Mr Dixon was not. In her opinion the teacher was little more than a pot head, a smell of cannabis always followed him around. His lessons were confusing and boring enough for Chloe, but his insistence of telling the class to transcribe what he was saying and read it back in their own time, was of little educational value to a dyslexic, she could not write down the information as quick as he delivered it, so would end up drawing pictures in her text book, small doddles of what ever came to mind. She wondered how he still taught at the academy, given his outdate ideas, that were as old as his fashion sense.

Nicki ran into the class, her face flushed, and sat next to Chloe, grabbing her books out of her shoulder bag, that had a picture of a large green frog on it, with a giant heart on its chest, and the slogan underneath.

“I Frogging Love You”

Chloe smiled at the bag, she had not seen it before, and the way Nicki was holding on to it, it was clear her friend loved it.

“New gift from Josh?” Chloe asked with a giggle.

Nicki’s smile lit up her whole face as she nodded her head.

“Isn’t it cute” she grinned happily gently caressing the bag with her fingers.

“I wonder if there is such a thing as werefrog’s because if there was, I am sure you are one” Chloe laughed.

“That would be so cool!” Nicki grinned at the thought.

The class door opened, and Mr Dixon strode in, his sandy blond wavey hair hung to the giant collar that reached to his collarbone in sharp points, his cream shirt with brown swirled pattern on it was practically thread bare and tucked into his dark brown corduroy trousers that fitted at the top, but then flared out so far, they swished together when he walked.

“He looks like a bad seventy’s porn star” Chloe whispered to Nicki who giggled.

“A family could shelter under his flares they are so big” Nicki whispered, making Chloe laugh out loud.

Mr Dixon looked over at the young Luna, and future Luna of the Crescent moon pack, he hated this job, why could he not be in his little wooden hut he loved spending his days getting high? But his Alpha had made an agreement with Zander Colton to have some of their most promising young pack members come here, along with his protection and help with rouges. Part of that agreement was that Mr Dixon would be employed here, to keep an eye on the risen moon packs pups. He had not taught for over fifty years and didn’t much like it the first time around, even less now. But his Alpha had commanded it, so here he was, the only way he could get through the day was to get high, however, if Mr Dixon was honest with himself, he would get high whether he worked here or not the reason he had been made to leave his last employment in 1975.

“Miss Hancock, I know you maybe the headmasters Mate, but I refuse to teach you when you disrupt my class.” Mr Dixon admonished her.

The class had not even started, and Chloe sighed out, she had promised Zander she would try and concentrate, and already she was getting in trouble.

Nicki whispered softly to her.

“Sorry, that was my fault.”

“My apologies Mr Dixon, you have my full attention.” Chloe smiled at the teacher.

After an hour of the hippy physics teacher droning on and on, about Newtons Laws, that made no sense to her at all, Chloe attempting to keep up with the transcription of his words, the bell finally rang out, and she picked up her bags, eager to get out of the class and to Zander’s office.

“See you after lunch.” Chloe waved to Nicki as she just as eagerly exited the classroom, to go replace her mate.

Chloe flashed Lacy a big smile as she walked into the administration part of the school.

“Hi Chloe, he is waiting in his office for you, just go in” Lacy smiled at her new Luna.

Zander sat behind his office desk, he needed to get finished off and head back to the packhouse early in order to prepare for tonight, although fighting with Alpha Aitchison did not concern him one bit, what did, was his stubborn mate, and he had the feeling she was going to turn up. He did not want her to witness the brutality of a death fight, he understood that she had seen him kill a wolf, but to go into the circle and see him become injured, even though he would win the fight hands down, he was still fighting another Alpha wolf. It would cause her distress and that did not sit well with him.

The footsteps of his mate echoed in the corridor, placing his work to one side, he grabbed the sandwiches he had arranged, along with the water, and some crisps and fruit.

“Come In” Zander shouted as he heard the delicate knock on his door.

“Hey” Chloe smiled wide at him

Zander’s eyes took in his mate as she stood in her uniform, the skirt turned up higher than regulation, which both turned him on and pissed him off in equal measure, her long shapely legs covered with ripped fishnet stockings, her doc martin boots on her feet. Her long unique hair scraped up into a high ponytail. His length instantly bulged in his trousers as he took her in.

“Your skirt is too short” Zander growled.

“Oh, come on, I am not the only female to make the skirt a little shorter” Chloe shrugged

“But you are the only female who is my Mate, and I do not want horny teenage wolves fantasising about my mate!” Zander growled possibly.

Chloe shook her head and sat on the long black sofa opposite Zanders white desk.

“I know you are an 87 year old, old aged pensioner, but really Zander, you need to modernise your way of thinking.” Chloe shrugged

“Chloe, if you do not adhere to the dress regulations of the school for the length of your skirt, then you will be punished.” Zander growled.

Chloe gulped, the word punished hitting her core, and she crossed her legs together to put some much needed pressure on her soaked intermate area. If Zander thought that would stop her from wearing her skirt short, he was wrong, because the thought of him punishing her sent her s****l needs into overdrive, and she knew she was going to hitch the skirt out even further, to force his hand, hopefully across her backside.

“Here I got you a ham and Pease pudding stottie sandwich” Zander handed out the large circular floured bread, stuffed with honey roast ham, and a thick layer of the yellow Pease pudding, made from yellow split peas, and was the most delicious thing ever.

“Thank you, my favourite” Chloe smiled up at her handsome mate.

“So how was physics?” Zander asked

“humm” Chloe shrugged,

“Okay, so at this moment, I am talking to my mate, not the headmaster, understand” Chloe said, wanting to complain about Mr Dixon.

Zander nodded, and took a seat next to her, as he ate his own sandwich.

“Seriously, that man is a terrible teacher, he spends the whole lesson talking about different laws, and all we have to do is write down what he is saying, is voice is monotone which doesn’t help, and to be honest I am learning nothing, and I doubt most of the students are. Plus, he stinks of pot, and well all he wants to do is sit behind his desk and read from a text book, for us to write it down read it back in our own time, anyone could do that!” Chloe m****d, feeling frustrated at the lack of teaching the teacher provided.

Zander listened patiently, he understood exactly what Chloe was talking about, the teacher had been thrust upon him, probably because his pack Alpha did not know what to do with him. However, he did not want his incompetence affecting his mate.

“Sorry, I am ranting, it just is so frustrating, especially when I replace writing, spelling and stuff so difficult” Chloe shrugged.

“It is okay, rant away, if it helps make you feel better.” Zander told her, resisting the urge to tell her would sort out the teacher immediately, because she had told him as her partner in life, not as her headmaster.

Placing his arm around her, and letting her snuggle into his chest, he bent down and kissed her head.

“Chloe, I do not want you to worry about tonight, but I do not want you to come to the fight. Even though I know I am going to beat the poor excuse of an Alpha in double quick time, it can still get bloody, and I do not think you are ready to see that yet. Josh feels the same about Nicki, so I want you to promise me you will stay in School until I come get you when it is all over with. It is Friday, so I want you to stay with me in the pack house till Monday morning, so whilst I am ‘busy’ tonight you can pack up some stuff and wait for me. Tomorrow we can spend the whole day doing anything you like.” Zander said softly.

“But” Chloe began to protest.

“No but’s Chloe, you need to stay here.” Zander told her firmly.

“Promise me?” Zander whispered.

Chloe could not promise that, because she was going to that fight, she could not sit in her dorm and not know what was happening.

“You understand my point” Zander asked

“Yes, I understand” Chloe sighed out, and that was as close as he would get to the reassurance he needed.

“Now, no more talk of tonight, lets just enjoy the rest of our lunch, before I go to maths” Chloe smiled changing the subject.

The school day finished, Chloe and Nicki were sent to their dorm, with strict instructions to remain there until Zander and Josh returned for them.

Nicki sat on her bed, worrying her hands together, as Chloe paced the room.

“I cannot do this Nicki, I have to go, cover for me please” Chloe sighed out

“No Chloe, I am coming with you” Nicki announced as the pair of them walked out of the dorm determined to get to their mates.
