The Headmaster Alpha's Mate
The Headmaster Alpha’s Mate Chapter 131

Chloe took hold of the unconscious Amanda by her hair, and dragged her out of the church, before shifting into Sheba, and running dragging her unconscious body behind her, scraping her along the shale roads, and back towards the pack. The evil wolf screeched out thrashing about, but after seeing Hamish and Douglas dead, and her trying to kill her best friend, Chloe’s ‘don’t give a f**k’ button had been pressed. She had never thought of herself as being cruel, but right now, all she wanted was for this b***h to suffer, as she had made others suffer. Dragging her to outside the pack house, Zander stood, his arms folded.

“Sheba, let Chloe back please.” He gently said to the royal wolf.

Chloe shifted as Zander walked over, covering her nakedness with his body, and wrapped her in his arms.

“Princess, remember who you are.” He whispered softly, holding her close so that she would calm down with his presence.

Chloe took a deep breath inhaling her mates calming scent. Zander was right, she was better than this, but anger towards this woman boiled in her veins after all she had done to them.

“What has happened, is it over?” Chloe asked.

“Yes, they have retreated, but we cannot allow them to reform, so Liam, Katie, Harry and Mary are waiting for them to hit the border of the Northumberland pack.” Zander sighed.

“But before that, we need to go to the council, see Peter, to get official authority to continue the fight even though they have retreated.” Zander sighed.

“Plus get this one on trial.” Chloe sighed out.

“That’s my girl.” Zander smiled proudly at her.

Terrance approached them, still bloody from the battle.

“Take her to the secure holding cell, make sure she is watched by two guards every single second.” Zander ordered.

“Alpha” Terrance nodded then grabbed hold of Amanda, dragging her kicking and screaming like a toddler having a tantrum to the prison block.

“Is it safe for the pups to come back?” Chloe asked, now she was calmer she was desperate to hold her daughter.

“Yes, have Liane bring them. The pack house was not breached, so everything in here looks normal, but I had drawn the blinds down so they cannot see out onto the fields, that will take a lot more time to clear up.” Zander sighed.

“Now come on mate, lets get you showered and ready, you can spend a small amount of time with Phoenix but then we need Liane to get us to the council.” Zander said placing a soft k**s on Chloe’s b***d slattered forehead.

“How is Josh?” Chloe asked, the gouge across his eye was horrible to see, and she could only hope that they could save his eye, with Ethan weak from using his power, they could not rely on him to heal her brother-in-law.

“He is good, his wolf healing has kicked in, Nicki arrived with Liane and Hannah when you were travelling back from the church, he is much better.” Zander smiled softly.

“What about his eye?” She asked

“Remains to be seen, but Andrew is confident he will be okay, and believe it or not, we can manage with sight in just one eye.” Zander sighed.

Chloe entered the bathroom, and let the shower cleanse the b***d from her body, finished she looked in the mirror, she had not even received a bite, there was not a mark on her skin. She let out a sigh, she should be relieved, but guilt swept over her, because many were badly hurt, and others had not survived. Tears began to stream down her face as she thought of the losses the pack had taken, it was not many, but still all of them would be remembered for their sacrifice, and every single death was one to many.

“Hey, Phoenix is here wanting Mama cuddles.” Zander’s voice shouted through the door.

He had left Chloe to wash and change, he knew his mate needed time to adjust to what she had witnessed and been a part of, once the adrenaline of war wore off, that was when the reality of it hit you like a ton of bricks.

Chloe opened the bathroom door taking hold of Phoenix in her arms.

“Hey little princess, did you have fun at the church?” Chloe asked, as if it had been a normal day out for her pup.

All she wanted was for her to be sheltered from what had transpired today, so that her little one would not live with the horrors that had taken place.

“We need to go Chloe, Amy is going to watch over Phoenix.” Zander sighed.

“Where is Ellie?” Chloe asked.

Zander looked down at her.

“The hospital, it was Caroline and Drake that found Ethan, three warriors and Duncan had him. The pair of them fought and got Ethan free, but Drake was badly injured, his spine broken, and Ethan could only stabilise him, Andrew is operating now.” Zander gently informed her.

Chloe closed her eyes, as if to shut out the world, then let out a breath, before nodding her head.

Walking back to the living room, she saw all the pups playing happily with Amy and Gavin watching over them, she was currently reading them all a story.

Chloe handed Phoenix over to Amy, then kissed her daughter.

“Mammy won’t be long, be a good girl.” She smiled, then looked to Zander who also kissed his daughter before they headed out finding Liane.

“Okay, let’s get this done quickly, be on alert, we do not know what is happening there.” Zander warned both Chloe and Liane.

Less than a second later, Zander, Chloe and Liane stood in the halls of the council chambers. It was eerily quiet, the smell of b***d thick in the air, along with something that burnt Chloe’s nostrils.

“What is that smell?” She whispered.

Zander let out a low growl.

“Wolfsbane, it is poison to us.” Zander informed her.

“I don’t like this!” Liane whispered, as she followed behind her Alpha and Luna, her hand outstretched to touch them both if they needed a quick exit.

“Be vigilant.” Zander ordered, as they made their way towards Peters office.

Slowly Zander opened the door, and let out a growl, Chloe looked around him, gasping in shock as she saw Peter laid on the floor, in a pool of b***d, a silver knife in his leg, wrapped in silver chains. In his seat was his mate, her throat slit, again wrapped in silver.

On the floor beside Peter was the official documents to make Amanda head of the council and rescind the referendum order. Zander picked them up seeing that neither had been signed.

“He died a hero.” Zander sighed.

Chloe looked at her mate not understanding.

“I will explain later.” He told her, then led them out of the room.

Chloe nodded, understanding now was not the time for a lesson in werewolf politics. Slowly they began to search each of the council offices, and every door they opened brought more death and destruction. Not one council member had survived.

“She killed them all, even the ones who supported her.” Liane gasped.

“Yes, she did not want anyone to stand in her way to take over, everyone is disposable to her.” Zander growled.

Zander picked up the council land phone and rang Alpha Liam.

“She has killed the whole council, every last one of them. You may attack if they cross your borders.” Zander stated.

“Come on, lets get home, I will send a clean up crew to take pictures, and then sort out the mess.” Zander sighed.

Liane took hold of them and transported them all back to Crescent moon.

Caroline sat her head in her hands, as Ellie stroked her back to comfort her, tears streaming down her face as Ethan sat beside Ellie his arm resting on her leg.

“I am sorry Caroline that I could not do more to help him.” Ethan was apologising.

“No Ethan, this is not your fault, you did everything you could, both Drake and I knew the risks when we attacked the warriors and Duncan. We would make the same choice again, he is going to be okay, I know he is.” Caroline said her voice cracking slightly at the end.

Chloe walked into the hospital room with Caroline and sat next to her.

“Does Ellie know about Duncan?” Chloe linked with Zander.

“Yes, but Tom doesn’t.”

Sitting next to Ethan, Chloe placed her arms around him, holding her friend tight, knowing he would feel guilty.

“How is your Mam Ethan?” Chloe asked.

“Fine, her wolf is healing her wound nicely after a b***d transfusion, she is okay.” Ethan sighed.

“Ethan, you should sit with her.” Ellie smiled at him.

Ethan shook his head, Ellie did not know they were mates, but he did, Chloe had confirmed it, and nothing within him would leave her side when she was in pain like this.

“Caroline, thank you for everything you have done, all the sacrifices you have made, not just today. We can never repay you, or Drake.” Chloe whispered to her.

Caroline nodded and offered a small smile to Chloe.

The door to the hospital room opened, and Kitty wheeled in Drake, followed closely by Andrew.

“The operation was a success.” He smiled at Caroline, who instantly burst into tears of relief.

“He may walk with a small limp, and his first few shifts will hurt, his wolf will not run as fast, but other than that he will live a long normal and I reckon very happy life.” Andrew continued with a smile.

Zander and Chloe let out an audible sigh of relief, then hugged Caroline and Ellie.

“We are going to see Josh and Nicki now.” Chloe smiled.

“Thank you for coming Luna, and yes, I will call you Luna.” Caroline smiled up at Chloe.

Zander walked into the next room, to see Cheryl holding Hannah in her arms, as Nicki was cuddled into Joshua’s bare chest as he lay back, and bandage on his eye but a serine smile on his face.

“Wow, just when I thought you couldn’t get any uglier brother.” Zander jested with him, relieved to see him so relaxed and happy snuggled with his mate.

“I think a scar can look really sexy.” Chloe shrugged, as Zander turned to her letting out a possessive low growl.

Nicki laughed, but did not move from her position, she had never been so afraid in her life when Josh was fighting, and nothing or nobody would get her to move away from him at this moment in time.

“I always said my mate was the sexiest, seems you agree with me now.” Nicki laughed.

Zander growled again, wrapping his arms around Chloe pulling her to him.

“Calm down mate, I think you are the most handsome man, and big bad wolf alive.” Chloe giggled.

Suddenly Chloe looked at Cheryl, she had a strange scent about her, like a faint werewolf smell, not on her clothes but coming from her body.

“What’s that faint werewolf scent?” Chloe asked her.

Cheryl’s eyes widened and she shook her head slightly at Chloe.

“What do you mean?” Nicki asked.

“Oh nothing, just my sense of smell, probably going into overdrive with all the different scents around here.” Chloe covered, then raised an eyebrow to Cheryl who gave a soft smile then looked down and continued to coo over Hannah.

Andrew arrived back in the room, taking a seat beside Cheryl.

“Well, that is everyone sorted, for now, I think I would like to take my mate for a rest, she was sick earlier.” Andrew sighed worried for Cheryl.

“Sick? Are you okay Mam?” Nicki sat up.

“Perfectly fine, just didn’t like the smell of the stinky rogues.” Cheryl shrugged it off.

Zander looked at Chloe, he had also noticed the faint scent, their senses of smell heightened due to being royal. He raised an eyebrow, and Chloe gave a small nod.

“Do you want me to take Hannah for the night, you can stay here with Josh?” Chloe asked

“I need to express some milk, but I would love that, thank you.” Nicki smiled at her friend.

“Right well, I will get Kitty to fetch the breast pump, but we are going for a rest.” Andrew grinned.

Cheryl passed Hannah to Chloe and gave a small k**s on her granddaughter’s forehead. Taking hold of Andrews hand as he led her to their quarters above the hospital wards.

“Zander, Alpha Liam called, the enemy wolves have reformed, they are getting ready to fight.” Luke linked with Zander.

“Okay, does he need us?” Zander asked.

“No, he said we did not leave them with many, they will let us know if we are needed.”

Zander let out a sigh, this was still not quite over and more lives would be lost this day.
