The Headmaster Alpha's Mate
The Headmaster Alpha’s Mate Chapter 83

Nicki paced the lounge area of the Crescent Moon pack house. She hated not knowing what was happening, although she did not mind being the only human here, sometimes she felt left out of the loop as she could not mind link anyone other than Josh to replace out exactly what was happening, and right at that moment he had a block down on his link as he was ‘busy’ with Chloe’s father. Although she was still to learn a lot about life with werewolves, she was not stupid, and she understood all too well that her beloved, gentle mate, was interrogating the man, and he would not be kind and considerate during the questioning, like he was to her. If she was to be totally honest with herself, once upon a time, thinking of Josh hurting someone would have bothered her, but now she knew her mate had to do whatever he could so that he could protect all of them, and in this case she approved of the more animalistic methods of gaining information. Chloe’s father was despicable for setting all of them up like that.

“Nicki, please sit down, we know that Chloe is safe, she is with Zander back at my cottage. She has gone into heat, so they are going to be locked away for a few days. You stressing out like this is not good for the baby.” Cheryl pleaded..

Her daughter had been shocked at the arrival of her own father, then with the disappearance of her best friend, she was concerned Nicki could cause herself or her child some damage.

“I just need to know what is going on!” Nicki exclaimed. She could not rest until she had some sort of news from Josh.

Kris Joshua’s gamma walked into the living room, and placed a hot cup of soothing tea in front of Nicki.

“Luna, you need to sit down, have a drink of your tea, and I will sit with you, and link to Gav, he is in there with the Alpha.” Kris informed her, knowing the only way to get Nicki to conform was to give her some sort of news. Josh would keep his block up until the interrogation had finished, he would never allow Nicki to see what they could do to traitors and prisoners, protecting her from the very real horrors of what happens if you cross a werewolf.

Reluctantly, Nicki sat on the sofa, and Kris sat along side her, handing her the hot tea. Cheryl looked at Kris and mouthed ‘Thank you’ to him.

“Okay Luna, they are nearly finished, they are just going over some of the finer points of the conversation, ensuring that they are getting the whole truth.” Kris smiled.

Josh stood in front of the naked shaking body of Brian Hancock. The man was clearly terrified, covered in bruises and dried b***d from where he had questioned the man, yet he had no compassion for the man, he had brought this on himself.

“So let me get this straight.” Josh said, tilting his head to one side as he flexed his hand in and out of a fist.

“You made a deal with a werewolf, to ‘free’ your daughter from the mate bond. In order to distract everyone, and make a get away so that your plan could be carried out, you gave my mate’s father money, and information about her and her mother, and led him here.” Josh asked.

Brian nodded his head slowly.

“I should kill you just for that!” Josh growled in disgust.

“Then, you knew our Luna princess would follow her mother, so you made another deal to trap her, against her will, so that a witch could break her bond, and cause her to believe all of this was a dream, and you did it to ‘protect her’.” Josh continued, still unable to fathom how stupid this man was to blindly believe such a thing.

“It was to save her life, I did it to help her.” Bruce cried out once more.

“But what you did do, was cause our enemy to trap your daughter, and poison her, almost to the point of death, and no witch has the power to break the mate bond, because we do not accept them into our lives, so it would never have worked. Thankfully, my brother got to Chloe in time, and she is now safe,” Josh stated.

“No, she is not safe, she needs to come home with me and my wife!” Brian continued.

“Well, the problem with that is, the woman you made a deal with has killed your wife, in front of our princess, and if we had not come across you first, your head would be ripped from your shoulders as well.” Josh hissed at the man.

Brian’s face paled, his eyes wide as he glared at Joshual .

“No, you are lying!” he protested, shaking his head.

“No, tell me you are lying.” he continued as tears stung his eyes.

Robin walked in front of Joshua and Gavin. He had remained at the back because he feared that he would lose control. After all, Chloe was his cousin by birth, and the people the King and Queen had trusted with her safety had nearly killed her through the decision they had made, because they allowed fear to cloud their judgement. However, he also believed that they hated the fact Chloe was a werewolf, and wanted her to be a ‘normal’ daughter once more, but used their fears as an excuse to cover up their own prejudices against the werewolf kind.

“Let us be completely honest now Brian, after all your life depends on it,” Robin began.

“You say you only did it because you were fearful of your daughters’ safety, but I think it was more than that.” Robin stated, moving to within an inch of Brian’s face.

“My wife, where is she?” Brian asked again, not believing that she was gone.

“As the Alpha told you, she is dead, killed by the woman you helped capture and poison our princess, who is my cousin.” Robin’s voice hissed out. He did not care for the man’s grief, only that he had betrayed Chloe and Zander, and they could very easily have lost everything because of him.

“But she said that we could have Chloe back, our daughter, human again.” Brian began to sob, the realization that he had been fooled, hitting him like a tidal wave.

“And there it is…. you are not bothered about her safety as much as you make out, you only wanted her to be human. Well, she never was human, and she never will be, no matter what you do or how much you try to change it..” Robin let out a humorless laugh.

“Kill me!” Brian shouted.

“Kill me now. If my wife is dead and my daughter poisoned, then please, kill me.” He begged some more.

“Nothing would give me more pleasure, but your death is not for us to decide, it is for our Princess, and future Queen to determine, so you will be staying here, alive, for a little bit longer.” Josh growled at him.

“Then I want to see her, bring me Chloe!” Brian shouted.

“Oh dear, someone has a God complex, if you think you could demand we do anything for you. You will see Chloe, but not until she is out of her heat, which will be approximately 5 days. So Mr Hancock, make yourself comfortable.” Josh stated, with a grin as he looked at the naked ,bruised and bloodied man laid on the floor cast in irons, then turning on his heel he stalked out of the prison area, and made his way up to his mate.

Lacey, Faith and Luke all busied themselves with Zander and Chloe’s duties, ensuring everyone understood their Alpha and Luna were not snubbing anyone. Lacey was more than grateful for Faith’s gift of discernment. She was quickly able to link with her to let Lacey know if the Alpha was really understanding of the situation, or if they were secretly put out, enabling her to make further provisions to try and sooth the waters between them. All in all, those who were already in support of Chloe and Zander had remained so, plus the Ronsey pack had pledged an alliance, and had invited Zander and Chloe to their pack to meet with the Shetland pack as well, then come to a formal arrangement, once the Princesses’ heat was over.

Faith had also believed that they should let Delphine and Issac have their mating moon, even if it was only for a few days whilst Chloe and Zander were locked away, and she had organized a trip to London, as Delphine had declared she had always wanted to see the sights of the human capital of the United Kingdom. They would go there for three days, then visit the Wearside pack for two days before returning to the pack.

Josh had already given the pack warriors their orders to protect the borders, and had requested that his pack remain at the Crescent Moon for the next week, to help out with the patrols, and the clean-up operation after hosting the games. It was a good way of keeping an eye on all those under his care, ensuring their own safety whilst he too over leading both packs in Zanders abscence.

Lacey let out a sigh of relief as the last of the visitors left. The friendly council members had returned to the main council headquarters with a promise that they would push for a referendum, where every wolf in the UK and Ireland would decide if they remained under council rule or return to the monochy under Zander and Chloe’s leadership. It was the best that they could have hoped for at this precise moment in time, and would buy them some time before needing to go into battle, if anyone opposed the results should they go their way.

“I think I should begin to organize a campaign trail of all the packs for Zander and Chloe, if there is to be an election,” Faith stated.

“Yes, best to be prepared for all eventualities, Robin and I need to work out who is coming with us to the new pack. Now the foundations are dug out for the pack house and some of the smaller cottages, the buildings will go up in no time at all. “. Lacey stated, keen to move forward with their plans.

“Have you decided who you want as your beta?” Faith asked.

“Yes, you and Luke, but Zander got you first!” Lacey laughed.

Faith giggled slightly, it was true her Alpha had got to her and Luke first, but even if he had not, she could not imagine being a part of any other pack, she had done so much work with Luke for The Crescent Moon, and it was Ethan’s home.

“I do have an idea that I want to run past Zander and Chloe, because the couple I would choose have not been through Beta training and are young, but I think they would do well given a chance.” Lacey cryptically told her.

“Yes, I think Delphine and Issac would be a good choice, and he has Alpha b***d, so he will have some training under his belt.” Faith laughed.

Lacey shook her head, and laughed. She should know better than to expect Faith to not accurately discern what she was thinking.

“Or potentially Jackson. I am not sure. I think we all need to sit down and go through all of the options.” Lacey grinned back at Faith.

Chloe blinked open her eyes, she felt fully rested, after a night of making love with Zander, a nice warm bath, and some food in her belly, the pain of her heat was now just a dull ache.

“Do you think we can return to the pack house tomorrow?” Chloe asked.

“That is up to you, however, you will still be confined to our rooms, as your heat may feel manageable now, but you will get another wave sooner than you think.” Zander smiled, placing a soft k**s on the back of her hand.

“You know, when I first found out that I would go into heat, a five-day s*x fest sounded really good, and as amazing as the s*x is, I actually prefer it when we make love or do things we enjoy without the all-encompassing l**t and pain that goes with being in heat.” Chloe sighed.

“Yes,I know what you mean, during this time we are led by physical needs rather than emotional ones. However, like everything, the first one is the most difficult to deal with. I had hoped to whisk you away to France again for your heat, but obviously we cannot do that. How is Sheba doing?” Zander asked.

“She is as large as life and twice as cheeky.” Chloe giggled.

“Good, I would not want her any other way.” Zander laughed.

“Do you think she can shift? I can put a pack order out that we are heading into the forest just around here, so that she can stretch her legs, and well, Caesar is wanting to be with her, if you get my drift.” Zander smiled.

“Oh dear, that again, but yes, my purple fiend deserves a treat. I am sure she will be good to shift by tomorrow. She said the silver almost all gone already.”

Once again, Chloe felt the pain in her stomach, her body began to sweat, and her arousal pooled out of her, and she knew it was her horny wolf going crazy inside her at the mention of some alone time with Caesar, that had caused another wave of the heat to hit.

“Here we go again,I am still sore from the last bout.” Chloe laughed, then climbed on Zander’s lap and straddled him.

“Hum, yes, here we go again, my horny perfect princess. Now let the wolf see the kitten.” Zander g*****d seductively as Chloe giggled, pulling off her t-shirt as Zander instantly latched on to her hard pebbled n****e, she threw her head back and let out a soft m**n of pleasure.

“Humm, maybe heat is not as bad as I thought. ” She g*****d, as she relished her mates’ touches, tongue and expert love making once more.
