The Headmaster Alpha's Mate
The Headmaster Alpha’s Mate Chapter 112

Chloe stood in front of the full-length mirror, a small smile teetering on her lips. Her purple hair was set in waves that cascaded down her back perfectly. Her silver wedding dress was covered in small beads and tiny diamonds. She still could not believe that she had found the dress she had longed to wear up in one of the large chests that contained some of her mother the queens rescued things one day when she had been looking for some more pictures of her royal family.

The 1920’s style dress, fell to just below her knee, and the string of pears finished off the look. She looked once more at her reflection, and blinked, the resemblance to her Mother Queen Rebecca was striking. The fringe material swished as she turned, it was perfect.

Lacey walked over to her a smile on her face.

“The headdress.” She grinned as she placed the 1920’s style head band around her head.

Although she had found the dress, the rest of the outfit her mother wore in the painting by Zander’s mother was missing, so she had sketched what she wanted, and had one of the seamstresses who worked in the pack village make it. It was perfect. Zander had no clue what she had done, but today, she wanted to feel the presence of her birth mother more than anything. Even her natural looking make up was perfection, an identical copy from the painting.

“You look stunning.” Nicki sighed.

“How are you feeling?” Chloe asked her best friend.

“A little tired, and overwhelmed, but I would not miss this day for the world.” Nicki grinned back at her.

Both Lacey and Nicki wore matching bridesmaid dresses, a deep purple, empire line chiffon dress that hung to the knee, the V neck adorned with small pearls and diamonds.

Phoenix sat in her small silver dress with purple ribbon around the waist, covered in a towel, in an attempt to keep her clean just in case she got into something when they were busy with each passing day the baby grew stronger, and was always on the move. She looked adorable.

Nicki handed Chloe her bouquet of hyacinths and lilies Zanders only request, as the flowers matched her scent. Both Nicki and Lacey had smaller posies matching the bride’s flowers.

As her closest living relative, and her cousin, Robin was giving her away. He entered the room wearing the family tartan, a cala lily pinned to the lapel of his black jacket. The pleats of the kilt swished as he walked, and Lacey greeted him with a hug and k**s. Chloe smiled, it seemed by the scent of Lacey’s arousal, she was not the only one who found she loved her mate in the traditional Scottish dress.

Cheryl walked into the barbie bedroom, with a screaming baby Hannah.

“I am so sorry, but she wants another feed.” Cheryl stated, passing her to Nicki.

“Can we delay for half and hour please?” Nicki asked taking her baby and instantly manoeuvring herself so that she could free her breast and nurse her child.

“Of course, we can, Robin, will you let Zander know please?” Chloe asked.

For all they had slept together for the few hours sleep they had managed, Chloe was determined once they went into their separate rooms to get ready, she would not see nor speak with him until she made it down the aisle, of the old stone church that was predominantly used by humans, which had stood for over a hundred years on the outskirts of the human village 10 miles north of the pack.

“It is traditional for the bride to be late, so we are okay, no need to worry.” Robin smiled at Nicki.

The three packs had gathered together, haven been shipped to the church by busses half and hour ago. It was just the bridal party, and the Groom that now needed to arrive. The hum in the church was one of excitement and joy.

Zander sat in the range rover, with Josh beside him, who was refusing to leave without Cheryl, Andrew and Baby Hannah in the car. He hated with a passion being separated from his little girl.

“Robin just messaged, they may be a while, Hannah needed a feed.” Zander chuckled.

“My daughter maybe human, but I swear she is eating like a wolf. She needs a feed every two hours, and woe betide us if she doesn’t get fed when she demands it.” Josh laughed.

He was exhausted, after Hannah was born both him and Nicki had managed only two hours of sleep, as their daughter demanded her dinner, every couple of hours.

Zander chuckled.

“I remember Mam and Dad walking around like zombies after you were born, Hannah is taking after you.” He grinned at his brother.

“Zander, I don’t think I have ever thanked you. Although you are my big brother, you are also my father. You are the man who taught me how to be an Alpha, a mate, and a father. I love you.” Josh said, emotion welling up in his eyes.

Zander looked at Josh and nodded.

“It has been my greatest joy, to watch you grow into the man you are Josh. I am so proud of you.” Zander told him with reverence.

Finally, Cheryl walked out of the pack house, Hannah asleep in the car seat, as she clipped her into the rear of the car, then climbed in beside her granddaughter, as Andrew followed her, looking very handsome in his own family tartan.

“Okay, let’s get to the church. I am getting married!” Zander grinned.

“Don’t drive to fast and be careful.” Josh warned, as Zander shook his head with a smirk, loving how protective Josh was over his daughter.

The vicar waited patiently as the Groom and best man arrived.

“I am sorry for the delay Vicar, but my niece was born last night, and her mother is with my future wife, and demanded a feed before we could leave.” Zander explained, stretching out his hand and shaking the clergy mans, with a warm smile on his face.

Peter from the council was stood off to one side. Although this would be a human wedding officiated by the vicar, so that the nuptials were covered by human law, Peter was still required as an officiant, and representative of the council. Although the Luna ceremony was the werewolf equivalent of Zander and Chloe being married, if a couple chose the human tradition as well, the council needed to oversee the proceedings. He had also brought some guards from the council with him, just to ensure there was no attack on the packs whilst they celebrated, he understood all to well that Zander and Chloe wanted a stress-free day, and he was determined to make sure his King and Queen got just that.

Peter had received word, that Chloe and Zander had rescued omegas from Jorvick pack, the information had been welcomed by some of the council members, but not so well received by the others, and he wondered if they would even get to have the referendum, before war broke out. Although Zander and Chloe had beaten the rogues around this area months ago, he had heard on the grapevine that Alpha Ken and Amanda Bines were gathering more of them to their cause, with false promises, they were sure to break once they had used them to their advantage. But that information was for another day, today, was a cause for celebration, not talk of the impending war that was inching closer with every passing second.

The vicar came closer to Zander and bent forward to whisper in his ear.

“I know what you all are, and I am happy to say Pack in the service rather than clan.”

Zander blinked in surprise, not sure what to make of this information.

“It is okay, I believe we are all Gods creatures, Jesus died on the cross and rose again for everyone, Human, or Werewolf.” The Vicar smiled kindly, and Zander nodded once at him.

Delphine approached Zander and Josh, as her Alpha and Luna were with Chloe, but she had news, and needed them to know.

“Alpha’s, I am sorry, but Liane refused to enter the church, she got really spooked all of a sudden, and ran off into the woods. I have a team looking for her, but once again she just disappeared into thin air.” She whispered.

Zander let out a low growl, he did not want to be bothered by this, not today. Peter walked over to Delphine and looked at Zander.

“I have some trusted men and women with me, they are hiding around the wooded areas of the church and the pack, I will have them keep an eye out for her.” He stated.

“Thank you, Peter, that would be a help. I don’t want this day spoilt for my mate.” Zander said his voice low and menacing.

“Don’t worry my King, our Queen will not be bothered by anything today.” Peter promised, then stepped back to his previous position.

Cheryl and Andrew arrived and took their seats in the pews behind Josh and Zander. Instantly Joshua’s full attention went to his sleeping baby, as he grinned at her perfect little face.

The church organ began to play, Wagner’s Bridal Chorus, and Zander’s heart beat loudly in his chest, as he turned to watch as her bridesmaids walked down the Aisle.

Josh looked at Nicki, she looked stunning in her purple dress, not an ounce of baby fat to be seen, it seemed her body had fully recovered after Ethan had laid hands on her. His face beamed with pride, she was his perfect little froggy, and his heart swelled with love.

Lacey followed, holding Phoenix in her arms, but the little one wanted to get down, and as everyone ‘Awed’ she wiggled out of Lacey’s arms and crawled straight to Zander, then put her little arms up, so he might pick her up, and said as clear as day.

“Dadda.”

Zander grin lit up his whole face as he immediately gathered his little girl into his arms, and told her how cleaver she was, then turned towards the door, and awaited Chloe.

Zander stood his eyes not leaving the church doors, when suddenly he felt every last breath leave his body. Chloe stood, looking like the living image of her mother, she was beyond stunning, there was no words he could ever use to describe her beauty.

A low mummer echoed around the church.

“It’s Queen Rebecca.” Some said, other’s knowing it was Chloe remarking on the striking resemblance.

Chloe’s eyes fixed with Zander’s; she could see the Amber of Caesar pushing through as she approached him. Her wolf hearing could pick up her mates elevated heart rate. As she reached her mate, the love of her life, Zander whispered softly.

“You look so stunning and beautiful.” Chloe could hear the truth in his words and beamed with pride.

“You are not so shabby yourself.” She grinned back at him. She really did like him in his kilt, it did all sorts of things to her body.

“Who gives this woman to this man?” The vicar asked

Robin grinned and said with pride.

“I do.” Then placed a k**s on Chloe’s cheek before joining Lacey.

“The first Hymn I have chosen for this special occasion as I feel it is appropriate is All Things Bright and Beautiful.” The vicar announced, then winked at Zander and Chloe.

“Does he know?” Chloe linked with Zander.

“Apparently so and is really cool about everything.”

Once again, the organ began to play, and the pack members all began to sing the hymn in unison.

“All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord GOD Made them all.”

The service began, and Chloe stood beside Zander, as he held her hand whilst holding Phoenix in his other arm. Josh took Hannah from Cheryl, and held onto her, as Nicki grinned at him, she never thought she could love him anymore than she had, but seeing him with their daughter in his arms, she realised, that she did love him even more than before.

Chloe and Zander exchanged vows, and when the vicar finally announced he could k**s his bride, Zander held her face tenderly with one hand and placed his lips onto her soft ones, as Phoenix, placed her little hand between them to stop the k**s, then scowled, disapprovingly, before Chloe and Zander giggled and both placed a k**s each on her adorable cheek, that was finally starting to become chubby, just like a child’s should be at her age.

As they walked down the aisle together to Mandelson’s Wedding March, the pack all threw rice at them, the Vicar shaking hands with the congregation offering them all his blessing. Josh looked at Nicki, then at Zander, and his brother nodded at him, knowing what he was about to do without him even having to ask.

“Vicar, we are having a party at the pack, you are more than welcome to join us. I must warn you though, it is traditional for us to go on a pack run during special occasions.” Josh offered.

“I would love the opportunity to be a part of that and thank you for your welcome.”

Josh grinned at the Vicar, maybe this was the beginning of the prophecy, that he and Nicky would be a bridge between the human and werewolves, and he felt sure this Vicar was going to be a big part of that.

“Packs, let’s all get back to Crescent Moon, it is PARTY TIME.!” Zander gave the order, as everyone cheered and applauded their Alpha and Luna.
