The Headmaster Alpha's Mate
The Headmaster Alpha’s Mate Chapter 77

Chloe and Zander watched as the remainder of the council members pulled up to the pack house. Tension filled the air as Arsehole Amanda sat in the back seat of her car, as if to wait for someone to open the door for her, and welcome her as if she were the queen, rather than Chloe.

Amy began to walk towards the rear door of the vehicle, to open it for Amanda, when Chloe stopped her.

“No Amy, she has a hand, she can open the door for herself.” Chloe smiled at the young omega.

“She is going to be pissed off”, Peter chuckled behind them.

“Good”, Chloe shrugged, she had dealt with many a queen bee in both her human life, and her life as a werewolf. This woman who thought herself so high and mighty was no different to the rest, just a woman with an inflated ego that needed to be burst.

Finally, after realising nobody was coming to open her door for her, Amanda stepped out of the car, her face red with anger, she was going to enjoy taking down this pack, and her plan was starting right now.

“Alpha Colton, you do know I am now head of the council!” Amanda’s voice rang out.

Chloe shrugged, it was just as she thought, inflated ego, there had been no election, and Peter was second in command of the council, so he would take over as interim leader until the new head was voted for.

“Amanda, I do believe that Peter was Oswald’s second in command, not you. Plus, there has not been a free and democratic vote.” Chloe stepped forward, then gave the woman a sly smile.

“I am holding emergency powers, as Oswald was murdered by YOUR Ambassadors.” Amanda bellowed, making everyone around stop and look at Chloe and Zander.

“Really, where is your proof?” Chloe asked, tilting her head to one side.

“I witnessed it.” Amanda stated triumphantly.

“Amanda, that is a serious accusation, one that needs to be addressed in front of all the packs. Thankfully, we have the majority here today, so let us go out to the arena and have this discussion, where you can present your case. Also, it is worth mentioning at this point, you do not have the authority to give yourself emergency powers, only I do.” Peter stepped forwards, and gave Amanda a small smile, as he ushered her through the pack house and out into the fields that were set up as the arena for the games.

Chloe and Zander took a step back and followed the two council leaders.

“s**t, we need Faith and Luke. If she is going to falsely accuse them, they need to be here to defend themselves.” Chloe linked with Zander.

“I know, all we can do is allow this little act of Amanda’s to play out, we have no other option.” Zander sighed, exasperated.

As they followed Amanda and Peter into the arena, Chloe saw Nicki and Josh waiting on the sidelines. Josh had his arms wrapped around Nicki’s waist, his hand over her stomach, loving and protecting their child from the negative atmosphere that had arrived with Amanda and the others. Josh and Nicki fell in behind Zander and Chloe as a show of unity, and as they reached Robin and Lacey, they did the same.

“This b***h is Uptight Ursula on steroids.” Chloe said across the mind link to the guys, only Nicki could not hear her, but she knew Josh would link with her so she would be kept in the loop of the internal conversations.

A few seconds later, Chloe saw the corners of Nicki’s mouth turn upwards, indicating that Josh had, indeed, told her what was being said.

Peter led Amanda to the large table that was set out for the council members to watch over the alpha matches, which were due to start in an hour. Not one to be put in her place, Amanda stood grimacing at Peter, then turned to the MC.

“Give me the microphone.” She demanded.

“Get ready, Josh, if this goes south, get Nicki and Cheryl into the safe room. Lacey if you can get all the pups, no matter which pack into the saferooms as well.” Zander ordered.

Ethan walked out of the Alpha tent, then headed across the field, towards Zander and Chloe. He bowed his head as a show of reverence, then stood beside them.

“Ethan, you need to get ready to run.” Chloe whispered to him.

“Sorry Chloe, but if she is going to talk s**t about my parents, I want to hear it.!” Ethan shrugged.

Chloe knew she could order Ethan away, but she would not do that, not unless it became necessary, and fighting broke out. Plus, she had to agree with him, if this woman was going to spout crap about Faith and Luke, Ethan had a right to hear it, and defend his parents.

As Amanda took the microphone, she cleared her throat, then began to speak.

“Packs of the United Kingdom, I have grave news. Our council leader, Oswald Beattie, has been brutally murdered. This happened before my eyes, it was a direct attack on our way of life, by upstarts who wish to return to a kingdom rule.” Amanda began.

As Zander stood and listened, the hair on his body standing up, as wave after wave of anger washed over him, as he glared at Arsehole Amanda, suddenly out of the blue, Faith mind linked with him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Alpha, we are here, hiding, ready for the opportune time to come forward. Let her make the accusation, she is going to burry herself. I have Daryl setting up a link to play our evidence across the field, have someone ready to grab her.”

“Chloe, Faith and Luke are here, they have evidence of their own, be prepared to grab hold of Arsehole Amanda.” Zander linked with Chloe.

Amanda paced up and down the length of the councillor’s table, enjoying the attention, making the most of her five minutes of glory.

“The Crescent Moon Pack seek to place us all in danger. Their Luna, who is a royal wolf, seeks power. Might I remind you all of the losses to our community eighteen years ago? They seek to lord it over us, to enforce their own agenda, to rid us of the freedom of choice over who leads us.” Amanda continued.

Chloe began to shake with anger, and she was unable to contain it anymore. Taking a step towards Amanda, she began to shout out to the gathered packs.

“I AM CHLOE COLTON, MATE OF ZANDER COLTON, LUNA OF THE CRESCENT MOON PACK. IT IS TRUE I AM THE DAUGHTER OF KING ASHER AND QUEEN REBECCA. IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT I AM A PRINCESS, AND NEXT IN LINE TO THE THRONE.” Chloe began as a mummer beganaround the gathered wolves.

“HOWEVER, IT IS NOT TRUE THAT MY MATE AND I SEEK TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CHOICES. UNLIKE THIS WOMAN BEFORE YOU. ASK YOURSELFS THIS QUESTION. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A FREE ELECTION TO VOTE INTO POWER THOSE WHO RULE OVER YOU? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANY OF YOU HERE WERE GIVEN A CHANCE TO SERVE THE WEREWOLF COMMUNITY AND ENTER THE COUNCIL? WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE MOMENT IS NOT DEMOCRACY. IT IS A DICTATORSHIP, AND THIS WOMAN IS THE MASTER MANIPULATOR. SHE WORKS WITH WITCHES, TO CONTROL THE MINDS OF THOSE IN POWER. SHE WORKS WITH WITCHES, TO CURSE INNOCENT FAMILIES INTO DOING HER BIDDING. SHE PROMISES THE CRIMINAL FRATERNITY OF ROGUES HOMES IN YOUR PACKS IF THEY ATTACK SCHOOLS, OR SMLLER PACKS AND KILLS THOSE SHE SEES AS A THREAT TO HER OWN QUEST OR POWER. SHE IS NOT A VICTIM; SHE IS THE GUILTY PARTY.” Chloe shouted.

You could hear a pin drop around the arena as Chloe stepped forward and stared into Amanda’s eyes, a silent challenge for this woman to deny the claims against her.

“TO THOSE PACKS WHO SEEK TO CREATE SLAVES OUT OF THEIR OMEGAS, BECAUSE THEY ARE A WEAKNESS TO YOUR STRENGTH. I CALL BULLSHIT. I STAND HERE BEOFRE YOU, I WAS A HUMAN, THEN I BECAME A WEREWOLF, A ROYAL WEREWOLF. MY MOTHER A DIRECT DECENDENT TO THE FIRST EVER ROYAL WOLF. MY FATHER, HE CAME FROM THIS PACK, HAPPY TO SERVE AS ITS BETA AS HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM. MY GRANDMOTHER WAS AN OMEGA FROM ULLSWATER PACK, MATED TO MY GRANDFATHER, WHO WAS THE YOUNGEST SON OF THE ALPHA AND LUNA, THEY WERE BANISHED, BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO REJECT MY OMEGA GRANDMOTHER, AND THEY FOUND REFUGE HERE AT THE CRESECENT MOON PACK. I HAVE THE B***D OF A ROYAL, AN ALPHA, A BETA, AND AN OMEGA AND I HAVE LIVED AS A HUMAN. EVERY PART OF MY HERRITAGE HAS MADE ME STRONG. I DO NOT SEEK TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CHOICES, ONLY FOR EVERYONE TO BE TREATED FAIRLY, TO RECOGNISE THE POTENTIAL IN EACH OF US IRRESPECTIVE OF RANK OR B***D. HUMANS BROUGHT ABOUT THE ABOLUTION OF SLAVERY IN 1833, YET 189 YEARS LATER, WE, THE WEREWOLF COMMUNITY, STAND HERE DIVIDED BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE WHO LEAD US,WANT TO FEEL SUPRIEOUR THAN OTHERS, SOME DO NOT HOLD TRUE THE VALUE OF LIFE, THAT EVERY PERSON HERE IS WORTHY OF LIVING IN PEACE.” Chloe continued she was in full flow and was not about to back down.

“IF AMANDA BINES IS SUCH an ADVOCATOR OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY, THEN LET THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HOLD A FREE ELECTION, SO THAT YOU CHOSE THE FUTURE YOU WANT.” Chloe stated.

Amanda Bines growled, then began to speak into the microphone once more.

“We cannot have an election, not at this time. The Crescent Moon ambassadors saw to that when they murdered Oswald.” Amanda shouted out, her foot stamping on the ground, as she began to start one of her infamous tantrums, more annoyed that Chloe had stolen her thunder, than the fact she had outed her true intentions.

Suddenly, Faith and Luke appeared on the field. As Faith walked towards Amanda, Luke handed the tapes they had gathered to Daryl, who hooked them up to the sound system. The video evidence cued up onto the screen that normally showed the fights and reply of the action. Faith stood before Amanda, reaching out for the Microphone.

“My fellow wolves, I am Faith. My mate Luke is with Daryl, our MC. We are the Ambassadors to the council for The Crescent Moon Pack. We witnessed Amanda Bines, with the help of a witch, change the head of the council’s mind, manipulating him to do her bidding. When I challenged the witch to show themselves, they ran away. It was then that Amanda Bines killed Oswald Beattie. She was using a witch to control his mind, and once she couldn’t do that, she murdered him in cold b***d. This is our evidence.” Faith declared.

The tapped conversations played out over the tanoy, Amanda’s voice rang out, admitting what she had done, her plots against the council and The Crescent Moon pack. The video linked up, showing her meeting with Alpha Ken and Luna Anne. The wolves all hissed, and suddenly the Alphas of Skye and Berwick packs surrounded Amanda, taking hold of her, hiding her from the rest of the wolves. Then, shifting, they began to run out of the pack lands, and into the forest beyond.

“Let them go.” Chloe commanded.

Zander turned and frowned a little at his mate.

“The time is not yet. First, we must give each of the pack members from those who stand against us a chance to come to us, to have freedom. They have many Omegas who are weak and malnourished. We need to help rescue them before we can attack.” Chloe declared, as Zander offered her a soft smile. His Mate was a force to be reckoned with, and his heart swelled with pride.

“Alpha!”

“Yes Amy, what is it?”

“I have two humans, a man and a woman at the door. They claim to be the Luna Princesses’ human parents.”
