The Headmaster Alpha's Mate
The Headmaster Alpha’s Mate Chapter 29

The adrenaline rush that engulfed Chloe made the already heady experience of having her arms wrapped around her mate even more intense. The vibrations of the bike between her legs mixed with the sparks rushing through her, caused Chloe to begin to m**n into her helmet. Breathless, through the exhilaration of riding on the back of the bike, mixed with the primal needs of her body, Chloe felt like she would climax within seconds, when Zander slowed the bike to a stop outside a small Italian restaurant. The red, white and green canopy hung over the narrow pathway, white floral patterned net curtains hung on brass poles, covering the bottom half of the window.

Zander hopped off the bike with ease, as Chloe attempted to gather herself as his strong arms lifted her effortlessly, and placed her on the ground. Zander’s fingers gently stroked her neck, sending a shiver of delight pulsing through her body, igniting the flame inside her once more, as he unclipped the strap of the helmet, and gently pulled it off. Removing his own helmet, he smiled at Chloe, a low growl coming from his chest, as he lent in, taking a deep breath.

“You smell amazing, my princess.” He whispered huskily, wrapping his arms around her body once more, his lips gently brushing hers.

“Hum” Chloe breathed out, her mind, body and soul teetering on the edge of the precipice of desire that begged for release.

Zander’s length became painfully hard, pressing against the zipper of his denims, it took every last ounce of his self-control, not to continue the ride beyond the small town, to the deserted fields beyond, and give them both what their bodies craved.

Taking a breath, Zander took hold of Chloe’s hand, intertwining his fingers with hers, and led her into the small restaurant.

“Table for two please, in the beer garden please” Zander asked the small plump lady with pitch-black jaw-length curled hair.

Wiping her hands on her apron, the lady smiled and nodded, then gathering two menus, she walked ahead of them, taking them out the small glass door at the rear of the restaurant, sitting them at a table for two that overlooked the river.

“This is beautiful.” Chloe breathed, taking in the view.

The river water rushed by, crashing over rocks, leaving its white foam behind. Beyond the water was a small embankment made up of tree roots, then thick green pine trees stood proudly almost as if they were kissing the sky.

“Can I get you some drinks to start?” the waitress asked with a smile.

“What would you like?” Zander smiled at Chloe.

“Just a lime and lemonade for me please, no ice” Chloe smiled up at the lady.

“And for you sir?” The waitress asked Zander.

“A large coke, with ice please”, Zander smiled in response.

Nodding her head, the waitress left them momentarily, the sound of the river and rustle of the trees filled the comfortable silence between them, as they each studied the menu.

Chloe found that she could read it without difficulty, the letters no longer jumbled up or bouncing around the page, and she sighed with happiness and contentment.

The waitress returned with the drinks, placing them on the small green wrought iron table.

“Can I take your order?” she asked with a smile.

“Chloe, what would you like?” Zander asked her, indicating she was the most important person at the table.

“Could I have the vegetarian pizza please?”

Zander frowned slightly, she needed to eat bigger portions, and he noticed she did not eat nearly enough meat. Her wolf needed the meat to strengthen inside her, and peperoni was processed, taking away a lot of the nutrients her body would need in order to shift.

“Chloe, let’s have a starter first.” Zander gently ordered her.

“Oh, okay, then the garlic mushrooms please, followed by the pizza.” She smiled at the lady.

“I will have the buffalo wings, to start. Actually, can you give me two portions of those, and the Italian mixed grill, thank you.” Zander smiled.

The waitress left to tend to their order, looking around to ensure there was nobody within ear shot, Zander lent in, and softly spoke to his mate.

“You need to eat more meat, princess, it will help strengthen your wolf. She requires it. After all, you have never seen a wolf eating mainly vegetables. Plus, you really need to increase your food portions. For all intent and purposes, you are eating for two.” Zander informed her, a serious look on his face.

“Josh keeps nagging about my food as well.” Chloe lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

“Is there a reason you eat so little? As a wolf, and a powerful one at that, you should be eating mountains of food, like I do.” Zander asked, reaching out and taking her hand in his.

Chloe blushed, hanging her head, this was not something she liked to talk about, but she felt a nudge from Sheba. So she decided to be honest and voice something she had kept to herself for a few years. Taking breath, she began to share.

“I used to eat loads, but my Mam said because I have a big bum and big boobs, I was at risk of becoming overweight, so I needed to exercise control. On top of that, bitchy Bev the queen bee at my old school, once said I had a fat a*s. I do eat, I am not anorexic or anything, but I kind of ate very little after that.” Chloe admitted.

Zander growled, filled with annoyance, how dare anyone say that to a young girl, it was disgusting to body shame a teenager, especially one as perfect as his mate.

“I want you to listen to me, Chloe. You have a perfect bum and boobs. Trust me, there is no such thing as too big. I am telling you this as a red-blooded male, not your mate. Your curves are natural and beautiful, nothing to be ashamed of. Your larger appetite is down to what I said earlier, your wolf needs more meat. Trust me, you will not put weight on, especially when you begin training properly. But even if you did, you would always be perfect in my eyes. That girl, bitchy Bev, well let me tell you, she only said that because she was jealous, and your mother, well, I mean this with no disrespect, but if I ever hear her come out with s**t like that again, she will find out what a pissed off Alpha looks like, and it is not pretty!”

Chloe felt the heat in her cheeks from her blush, he thought she was perfect! This man, who looked like an Adonis, thought that she, Chloe Handcock, with the strange dress sense, and fat a*s was perfect, and her heart leapt in her chest.

The waitress arrived with the starters, and placed them on the table. Zander immediately pushed the second plate of buffalo wings to Chloe.

“Eat” he grinned at her, nodding his head in approval as she grabbed one and gnawed on the meat.

They ate their food together, Zander passing her some of his chicken from his plate and, for once, Chloe did not worry about what she was putting into her body, when she could not eat another morsal, she passed him the last two slices of pizza, which he devoured.

“Do you want something else, like a desert?” Zander asked, enjoying watching her devour her food without remorse.

“No thanks, I seriously could not eat another morsel” Chloe grinned up at him.

Looking into her eyes, to see if she was telling him the truth, and happy with what he saw, Zander nodded, then asked for the bill.

“Zander, can you explain what a rouge is? I kind of know, but I am not 100% sure,” Chloe asked.

“Of course,”

“There are two types of rouges, those who live peacefully. Generally, those are the wolves that choose to leave the pack, a lot of the time it is because of the oppression of their Alpha. Most of them are Omega’s, who have become disillusioned with the system and the abuse they suffered. Others are those that were fated to human mates. A lot of Alphas see having a human mate as a weakness, that they will somehow be a burden on the pack, and so will demand that the pack member reject them, or they are cast out. Years ago, these wolves would go to your parents for protection and integration into the royal pack, but since the war they have nowhere to go, unsure of who to trust.” Zander began to explain.

“That is almost like racism!” Chloe exclaimed.

“It is exactly like that. The other rouges are evil. They live in solitude unless they wish to attack a pack, when they gather together. These are generally the criminals of our world; murderers, rapists, thieves and the like. You will smell them, long before you see them, they stink. Over time, they become more beast than man, turning almost feral, they are the ones that cause us problems.” Zander continued.

“So, Jack made a deal with them to attack us. Does that mean they are living in a pack now then?” Chloe asked.

“That is what we need to find out, but I would like to guess that they are. However, do not worry about them. For all they are ruthless, they are mostly uncoordinated, they hate to follow orders, and have no loyalty, not even to the person who is leading them. They can be a problem for small packs, but for us, they are no match.” He reassured her.

Chloe nodded.

“Was it rouges who attacked the night Nicki and I first came to the packhouse?”

“Yes, that is why Josh had to get you back to school, they tend to leave the academy alone.” Zander smiled.

“Now, should we head back?” Zander smiled.

“Yeah” Chloe agreed as they headed back to the bike for the thrilling ride back to the packhouse.

Zander pulled the bike back into the garage, the thrill of riding with his mate behind him, her arms wrapped around his body, was addictive. He was so turned on, he knew he needed to be careful tonight, but his mate wanted to be near him, and he could not refuse her, especially as all he wanted was to be near her. Turning and helping Chloe off the bike, he removed her helmet once more, the smile on her face was wide with delight, the sparkle in her eye made him feel proud he had made her so happy.

“Please tell me we can do that again!” Chloe squealed in delight.

Zander chuckled, nodding his head.

“We can take the bike to Silverback tomorrow.” He grinned at her.

“Cool” Chloe giggled happily.

They made their way back to the bedroom. As they entered, Zander pulled her into his chest, his lips crashing into hers. Caesar purred inside him in satisfaction, as Zander deepened the k**s, his tongue finding hers as they fought for dominance. The sparks between them could light up a town, as he pulled her closer to his body.

“Alpha, you have a call, it is Mr and Mrs Davis, it was diverted from the school, they said it is urgent.” Jackson Donaldson, his gamma mind linked him.

Letting out a growl of disapproval, Zander broke the k**s, then stared into Chloe’s bright blue eyes.

“Apparently, I have a call coming though, I need to take it.I will be back soon my little luna princess” he g*****d huskily to her.

Placing another swift k**s on her soft lips, Zander walked out of the room, and headed to the downstairs office.

“Yes, Mr Davis, the headmaster is here now.” Jackson said, clearly exasperated, then looked at Zander and shook his head slightly.

Zander sighed, and took the phone from his gamma.

“Mr Colton speaking.” he said in his headmaster’s tone.

“Mr Colton, this is Mr Davis, Nicola Davis’ father. I cannot get hold of my daughter, it has been three days. What is going on?” His voice was laced with concern.

“I am sorry about that Mr Davis. Nicola is well, she is currently on a school trip helping those less fortunate than herself, with some of the other students, she will return to school on Monday.” Zander answered, hoping it would be enough to appease the worried parents.

“There is something else I am not happy about. My daughter seems to have found a boyfriend. I believe he is your younger brother. Nicola is at school to further her education, not have relationships with the boys who attend the school. Also, I spoke with another parent, Mr Handcock yesterday, and he expressed concerns about his daughter frequenting the school as well. My wife and I have made the decision to return home to England next week, and I require a meeting with you. I must warn you, if I am not happy, I will be removing my daughter from the academy immediately and will bring her here, back to Japan with us.” Mr Davis informed Zander, the frustration and anger clear in his tone.

“That is your choice, Mr Davis. However, I can assure you the relationship between Josh and Nicki is very innocent at this time. My brother has the up most respect for her, and he treats her with kindness and compassion. Their relationship is not affecting Nicki’s education at all. In fact, Josh is able to help her in some areas. Nicki is doing very well at school, her grades have improved, and she has made good friends, especially with Chloe Handcock. Mr Handcock has not expressed any concerns to me personally about her education, but I will touch base with him tomorrow to address his own concerns.” Zander answered, the last thing he needed on top of everything else was human parents turning up at the school, Nicki was not 18 for another two months, and it would kill Josh if she were to be removed from the school and taken to Japan.

“We shall see Mr Colton, have NICOLA, call me on Monday, and I will see YOU on Thursday next week.” Mr Davis stressed Nicki’s name, clearly not happy with her nickname.

“Of Course, now is there anything else I can help you with?” Zander asked.

“No” Mr Davis shouted, before slamming down the phone.
