Chapter 11: The Headmaster Alpha's Mate

Chapter Ten.

Chloe sat in her English literature class. They were told to read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. As the letters danced before her eyes, Chloe pushed the book to one side, unable to concentrate or make sense of the old-fashioned English text. Frustration began to claw at her. She had to concentrate so hard on trying to unmuddle the words, and make them readable, that she had no enjoyment in the book.

People had told her how when they read a book they saw a picture in their eyes playing out almost like a film. Chloe had never had that experience, not once, and she hated having this disability even more, as Nicky was evidently loving the story.

Mr Kyle, the English teacher, approached her desk.

"Great, he is going to give me shit for not reading." Chloe muttered to herself.

Bending down in front of her desk, Daniel Kyle offered Chloe a soft smile.

“Are you struggling?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Chloe looked away from him, not wanting to answer because of her frustration.

“Did they ever give you coloured film to help the words stay in place at your other school?” Mr Kyle gently pushed her.

“Yes, a green film, it made no difference whatsoever. It is like the letters are all jumbled up, then they decide to dance the fucking 'can can' on the page.” Chloe folded her arms and pouted.

“I will let the swearing go, just this once, because I know you are frustrated. However, did they try you with a yellow film? That tends to help better when the letters move about.” he smiled, then placed a small yellow piece of plastic over the text.

“I can read on computers better than books” Chloe groaned, wishing she could read everything via ebooks.

“I know, but try the yellow film. If it doesn’t work, we will try something else for you, until we find something that does help.” Mr Kyle encouraged her.

Chloe nodded, then looked down at the book. Sure enough, the letters seemed still, and less jumbled. They weren’t perfect, but they were a lot better than before.

“ It is a little better,” Chloe admitted with a small smile.

“Good, now just take your time, you will get this Chloe. Remember Dyslexia doesn’t make you dumb. After all, Einstein was Dyslexic.” Mr Kyle smiled then returned to the front of the class.

Nicola looked over to Chloe and offered a smile of encouragement, before returning to her own work.

After managing to read and understand two whole pages, the bell rang for lunch, as Chloe grabbed her books and placed them in her bag, she walked over to Mr Kyle’s desk to return the yellow film.

“It seemed to help” he stated with a small upturn of his lips.

“It did, managed two pages, and understood most of it.” Chloe nodded.

“Then keep the film, use it in all your lessons” Mr Kyle grinned, pleased that he was able to help the young girl.

“Thank you. Sir” For once in her life, Chloe genuinely thanked her teacher.

Chloe headed over to the waiting Nicola by the door, and they made their way down the corridor towards the dining hall.

“I wonder if Ursula is going to give us more shit because she got into trouble?” Nicola pondered out loud.

“Bring it on. I will never start a fight, but I sure as hell will not back down from one.” Chloe shrugged.

Nicola giggled at her, as Ethan jumped around them like an excited puppy.

“Hey, you seem happy.” Chloe smiled at the younger boy.

“I am. It is the full moon party in five days' time, and I cannot wait!” He gushed excitedly.

“You normally hate them,” Nicola pointed out.

“Not this time. I have accessed my wo…full potential, so after the full moon, they will re house me.” Ethan’s grin was wide.

“Cool, but we are going to miss you being around here.” Chloe smiled at him, other than Nicola and Josh. Ethan was the only other person to bother with her, and with his happy-go-lucky personality, he was a ray of sunshine in her life.

“I will still be about, and it won’t be long before you are both rehoused. I am sure.” Ethan grinned.

“It will be a while for me, I just got here, and already I am in the shit.” Chloe giggled.

As they walked into the dining hall, Chloe scanned the room, to see where uptight Ursula was sitting. However, finding no trace of her, she wondered if she still had that joy to come.

“Nicki, come sit with me. Look, I have organised a table in the centre of the room, where any person from any house can sit, as long as everyone is respectful to each other.” Josh grinned over at his mate.

Nicola looked at Chloe, who nodded, and they went with Ethan to the centre table. Josh sat with Gav, his best friend, and a girl who Chloe had not yet been introduced to.

“Hi, I am Delphine, I am from the 'Blood Moon house'. Nice to meet you both. Might I say? That was bad ass what you did yesterday. I am so glad someone put that stuck up bitch in her place…in fact ,a lot of us are.” Delphine grinned at Chloe.

“Oh, that reminds me, Mrs Black said to tell you when you have finished lunch to make your way to the office, the headmaster wants to see you.” Josh smiled

At the mention of the headmaster, Chloe once again was filled with a nervous excitement, and a strange warmth filled her. Chloe swallowed, she needed to get her teenage hormones in check, because she had questions for him, and she was going to stand her ground until he gave her the answers.

Finished with her food, Chloe took a deep breath and headed out the dining hall. The closer she came to the office block the more her stomach flipped in excitement and anticipation, the feeling of joy and happiness enveloped her as she approached Mrs Black.

“Hello Chloe, you can go straight in, it is the office door, just passed mine.” Mrs Black smiled, pointing to the door to the headmaster's office.

Chloe nodded, unable to fathom why she felt so happy about getting into trouble with her new headmaster. As she knocked on his door and waited for his response, once more her body decided to become ultra-aroused and, and she inwardly shook her head at her hormonal response to the man.

“Come in.” Zander’s voice echoed through the air. His own excitement rushed through his body like a tidal wave.

As Chloe entered his office, Zander felt like he had been sucker punched. All his breath left his body. She was stunningly beautiful, her long black purple and lilac hair hanging to her waist, her skirt turned up a little too much for regulations, sitting at the top of her thigh, showcasing her shapely long legs. The curve of her ample bust straining against the buttons on her school blouse, her nipples visibly hard underneath. It took every last ounce of his self-control not to rush over to her, hold her in his arms and kiss the life out of her.

“First things first, your skirt is too short, adjust that before you head back to class.” Zander stated, not wanting any other wolf looking and lusting after what was his.

“Secondly, just to let you know, Ursula is no longer the head girl. I do not tolerate bullying, she has also lost her place in 'Full Moon', a person who seeks to lead by violence is not a true leader.” Zander continued, desperately trying to treat her like another student, and not his mate.

Chloe looked on, mesmerised by her headmaster's amber-glowing eyes, her body felt like it was on high alert as she battled the overwhelming urge to run into his arms, and snuggle up to him.

“Good. I am glad.” she breathed out, her heart beating fast in her chest, the scent of him surrounding her driving her hormones crazy.

“Now, I understand you were defending your friend, but you cannot react like that, Chloe. Tipping the tray of food over her head was not the best response to what was happening.” Zander scolded her slightly.

Feeling soothed rather than scolded by his words, Chloe had to take a breath. She needed answers, but being in his vicinity was distracting her.

“I understand, but she was humiliating Nicola. She physically assaulted her, by pushing her to the floor. Nicki fell over, her skirt rose up, humiliating her. I know what you are saying, but I could not stand back and watch a fellow student being bullied just because she is a member of 'Eclipse house', or because the boy Ursula fancies prefers Nicola. Sir, I would never start a fight, but you should know, no matter what you do, I will never back down from one either.” Chloe answered.

“Believe it or not, I commend that about you, but rules are rules, Chloe, and I will not hesitate to discipline you properly if you do something like this again, okay?” Zander answered.

“Okay, but before you dismiss me, I think you need to answer some of my questions. Like, what the hell are you doing here? How did my father get a job at your company? How is a man no more than 24 a headmaster at a school, and why did you growl at me in the shopping centre?” Chloe asked, folding her arms across her chest, to show she meant business.

A small smile teetered on Zander's lips, as he watched his determined mate.

“Firstly, I am older than I look. Secondly, I work here if you didn’t notice. Thirdly, if I said it was a coincidence would you believe me?” he asked. Extenting his fingers to match his three points.

“Not on your life!” Chloe shrugged, determined not to be fobbed off.

“Okay, well, I saw potential in you that day, at the shopping mall. I did some research, and found out your father was exactly what we needed in our company. So, I had our team offer him the position. I wanted you here, Chloe, where I can get the best out of you. You are more than what you have been made to believe, and you will achieve greatness.” Zander answered as honestly as possible.

“So why the growl?” Chloe asked, not letting that go.

“That is a question for another time,” Zander answered softly.

He would answer her honestly once she was eighteen and he was able to date her, and gently inform her of what he was, and who she was to him.

“No, you can tell me now!” Chloe stated, determined to get her answers.

“Chloe, do not push me, I will discipline you.” Zander growled out, unable to mask the lust in his voice, as his length twitched at her determination.

Chloe rolled her eyes. It seemed, by the way he said discipline, he liked the idea.

“What, you going to go back fifty years, and take me over your knee and spank me?” Chloe said, then placed her hand over her mouth. She did not mean to say that out loud.

At Chloe’s words, Zander’s last thread of control left him. Caesar took over and he stalked around his desk towards her. Chloe gasped, her body lighting up at his close proximity, as he took a strand of her hair and placed it gently behind her ear, his eyes wide, and almost black. Chloe felt her panties become wet, as Zander sniffed the air around her before leaning into her and whispered.

“That could be arranged.”

Chloe had to cross her legs as suddenly all she could think about was him bending her over his knee, and how much she would enjoy it.

"Mate is perfect, she likes the idea of us punishing her. I want our mate!" Caesar growled excitedly inside Zander.

“Chloe, you really need to leave now”, Zander's strained voice all but whispered, desperate to kiss her sweet red lips.

He knew that any more of this tension and Caesar would gain more control. Age limits did not matter to his love, sick horny wolf.

Chloe gulped, then silently nodded. As Zander took a step back, she took a breath and walked out of his office.
