The Headmaster Alpha's Mate

Chapter 5 

Alpha Zander Colton let out a low growl, running his fingers through his short brown hair, he needed to get back to the pack, things were on a knife's edge, the rouge attacks had increased since he had left over a month ago for England, in a bid to tour the packs of the north east to forge an alliance.

On top of that his life had turned upside down, they day she saw her, the girl with long purple and lilac streaked hair, the 17 year old girl who was his Mate.

Unlike his young brother, the happy accident of his parents not long before they were killed alongside the royal family, 18 years ago.

Josh had been fortunate to stumble across his mate, a human girl who happened to be camping with her parents on pack lands.

Of course, Zander had made sure the girl was protected, ensuring she had a place in the pack’s school The Crescent moon academy.

At only 17 she could not be mated to Josh until she turned 18, and being a human made the whole thing more complicated as they do not feel the bond as strongly as another werewolf.

Then after waiting 69 years after he turned 18, Zander had finally found her, his fated mate, but the timing and circumstances could not be more complicated.

Zander sighed, he needed to get back home, and his wolf he also needed to sort out the mess of his own making.

After waiting for so many years, Zander had given up hope of ever finding his fated mate and decided to take a chosen one, his pack needed a Luna, and he had grown tired with the company of omegas who liked to bed an Alpha.

Louise Aitcheson, daughter of the Alpha from the neighbouring Silverback Pack was going to be his saving grace.

Louise had also been waiting for her mate, having not found him for 40 years her father decided she should take a chosen mate, one that could help strengthen their small pack.

Zander had the largest pack in the whole of Scotland and north of England, his parents had been part of the Royal household, before the great war 18 years ago, where the Alpha King, Queen and all their pups along with Zander and Joshua’s parents had been killed.

Zander was regarded as the strongest Alpha, and to be aligned with him was something a lot of packs desired.

Given his need for a Luna after running the pack and the school for 18 years solo, he agreed to form an alliance with Silverback, and take her as his chosen mate.

Even now Louise was happily organising her Luna ceremony, and eager for Zander to return so they could announce the plans to both packs.

"You should have rung and told her the day we saw mate"

Caesar Zanders wolf protested not for the first time.

"Like I have told you, numerous times, that conversation cannot be done on a telephone call, she is going to be upset enough a phone call would offend her further." Zander sighed

"Who cares if she is offended, she is not our mate, we only want Chioe" Caesar continued.

"Yes, but Chloe is 17 and a human, you cannot sense a wolf, and from all my research she was born of human parents. Now, I have her in the school, where we can be close to her, but we cannot mate or

mark her till she is 18, and only if she agrees to everything, she has no clue werewolves exist, she may reject us when the time comes to explain everything."

Caesar whimpered inside Zander at the thought of her rejecting them.

"She will not reject us, her body reacted as strong as a wolfs when she saw us, she feels the bond"

Caesar stated with renewed confidence as he remembered the scent of her arousal, her body exploding into goosebumps, and the dilation of her eyes.

"Plus, our mate has discipline issues, she muddles through school, often getting into trouble, she will need extensive Luna training before we can move forward, the pack needs someone they can trust, who can lead them" Zander sighed.

In his head, Zander knew it was probably wise to reject the girl, and let her lead a normal human life, but in his heart, he could not do that.

She was his soul mate, the other half of him, predestined to rule the pack alongside him, and after seeing her and watching over her for a full month from afar, she was all he could think about.

Her wide blue eyes, her black hair, even the purple and lilac dye turned him on, she was tall for a human at 5 own sense of fashion, and Zander liked how she did not follow the crowd.

When he had investigated who she was, after following her home at a safe distance, it was easy to offer her father a job out of the way in one of Colton Industries subsidiary companies in Japan, and thus get her into the school where her training could start immediately.

It seemed she had Dyslexia and given the states way of teaching kids with that educational need was one dimensional, it was no wonder his mate would end up board and acting out.

Zander also wondered if she had ADHD, as many times on her school reports the teachers said lacks concentration, or easily distracted.

However, any and all, ailments weather SEN or physical would be healed the moment he sunk his canines into her marking spot, tying her life to his, and slowing down the aging process to that of a Wolf.

What Zander needed to know was if her true personality was one to cause trouble, or if her mischievousness was down to boredom.

Zander was pondering on everything as his phone began to ring, seeing it was his beta and lifelong best friend Robin Black, he answered it immediately.

"The pack was attacked again last night, but we got them all, I get the feeling something is behind this Zander" Robin sighed out at the other end of the phone.

"I think you may be right, did my mate arrive okay?" Zander asked, his beta and his wife, who worked as his PA at the school were the only people to know his secret.

"About that, she was here when the rouges attacked" Robin Caesar growled in Zander’s mind, then became more than a little agitated, shouting repeatedly for Zander to return home today.

"Is she hurt?" Zander asked, the thought of his mate injured or in pain causing a knot to form in his stomach.

"No, Josh got her and his mate back to the school before the rouges reached the pack house" Robin sighed.

"Josh, is on the edge Zander, being so close to his mate and not being able to even tell her she belongs to him.He made a stupid decision to bring both girls to the pack house, it caused quite a stir,

especially with Ursula."

Robin stated Zander sighed, it had been reckless of Josh, what if the girls had seen someone shift? He had placed them both in danger from the rogues, and his father’s former Delta’s daughter Ursula Kirkstone.

It was no secret that Ursula wanted power, and to become a Luna, she had attached herself to Josh, but as soon as Josh turned 18, he knew she was not his mate.

Then by chance he found Nicola, Josh now had a mess of his own making to navigate, as to protect his mate, he had not revealed her to the pack, and he had to wait until she became a legal adult in three months, using the time to prepare her for the revelation that may make her run far away from him.

Zander had been more than a little relieved the spoilt girl had turned out to not be mated to his brother, although she was too selfish for that.

Ursula was determined that she would be mated with Josh, and until Nicola could be told about what they were, and accept it, then become mark and mated, she was at risk of her vindictive revenge.

Josh bringing the girls to the packhouse without prior warning or planning was a mistake that could have ended very badly.

"The closer she gets to 18 the harder it is going to be for him, we just need to guide him, he has to be careful, his wolf will be chomping at the bit to get to his mate."

Zander sighed, now fully able to understand his brothers’ frustrations after all, not only was his own mate, 17, and human, she was now a student in his school, and he was her headmaster.

"I think I will make the trip home today, but first I am going to have to go the Silverback Pack, and talk with their Alpha, then tell Louise that the deal is off" Zander sighed

"Thank f**k for that, she has not been off the phone to Lacy since you made the agreement, demanding all sorts of expensive things for her ceremony." Robin sighed with relief.

"Yeah, well, inform the pack I will return tonight, and have Josh ready at the pack house when I get back, we are going to have a little chat." Zander ordered.

Placing his phone back into his pocket Zander, walked out of the large room he had been staying in, and walked towards Alpha Lawrence River's office.

With a knock on the Door Zander entered the room should know, I need to return to my pack today" Zander stated

"I am sorry to hear that, but rest assured, the treaty will be made ready, and I will happily sign it when the council approves it " Alpha Lawrence smiled

"Thank you, Alpha, now I must go, Rogues are getting brave in my absence" Zander shook the hand of Alpha Lawrence, before heading back to his room, and quickly packing up his things.
