Her Alpha

What the?

{Xander Maverick’s POV}

As I walked into the school I saw my son sitting in the bench next to the principles office. “What the he** did you do?” I asked him catching him off guard.

He sat up more proudly and said, “I didn’t do anything dad, it’s that new teacher I think she’s just power crazy!” He said.

My son was an honors student, and I’ve never known him to do anything wrong. Whoever this new teacher is, she won’t last here long treating my son this way! I marched down the hall to the music room, I could hear music pouring out of it, and the sound of chairs clanking onto the desks. “She must be cleaning up, this will be her last day I swear it!” I thought to myself bursting in her door. What I wasn’t expecting was to see a young beautiful woman standing in front of me. Her long sleeve button up was squeezing her chest rather firmly showing me the outline of her very round breasts. Her blazer was thrown on the back of her chair, I’m assuming she got too hot cleaning. Her skirt was tight, but not too tight. Just enough to show me the outline of her perfectly round ass. Her hair was so long, dangling off of her in thick spiral curls. Her eyes were the most beautiful shade of deep green, and her lips were full and pouty. She looked to me, possibly checking me out too but I couldn’t tell as all I could do was ogle this goddess in front of me.

She cleared her throat being the first one to speak.” Mr.Maverick I presume?”

Her voice was perfect, soft like an angels and so musical as she spoke. Then the voice came ever softly in my head. “Mate”. I paused for a moment in shock. How is this possible, second chance mates were very rare. My wife passed when my son was young, and I haven’t had a mate since, we had him when we were both still teens, we got caught up in the mate bond, and she ended up pregnant at 14, I was only 15. We ended up getting married after high school, she ended up passing away when Rodrick was only four. This beautiful woman in front of me, is my second chance mate, and she’s also the one threatening to get my son expelled. I realized I had been keeping the silence for too long when she once again cleared her throat.

“So, your sons behavior today was, honestly the worst I’ve been treated since I was in high school. I am very tolerant, I gave him multiple chances, and he just got worse.” She said before walking over to her desk and fumbling through her papers.

“My son has never gotten in trouble before and you expect me to believe that he just magically gets in trouble on your first day?” I stated firmly.

“Well, believe it or not it happened. I have proof. Here are the papers where your son wrote inappropriate things, including that he wanted to ‘play me as an instrument’” she said handing me the papers.

I looked over them and realized that they were indeed in my sons handwriting and they did say some awful things, but none of this was grounds for expulsion. “Okay, I do admit that these are horrible, horrible things, but it’s not grounds for expulsion.” I stated not backing down.

“You’re right.” She said.

Wow that was easy, I thought to myself.

“But this is!” She said before pulling up a recording of what looked to be my sons class. I see her giving him the second chance, then the fight about detention. Then I saw what she was talking about, he stood up, pulling up her skirt and exposing her in front of the entire class. My blood began to boil. I can’t believe my son would do such a thing, and to my mate! My wolf Leon began growling in my head and somehow it escaped into my throat and rumbled my entire chest!

“What the he**! Why would he do that?” I yelled making her flinch slightly. “Sorry, I’m not yelling at you, but I will be yelling at him.” I said turning to storm off.

“Wait!” She called wrapping her small arms around one of my large biceps. “I don’t know why he would do this, but I think you should calm down a little before going out there.” She said. I felt the tingles all over my arm where she was touching me, I guess she felt it too as she gasped and pulled away. “W-What was that?” She looked up at me completely dumbstruck and I could see in her eyes that she felt the pull of the mate bond.

“Well, this is one way to meet our mate!” Leon chimed in my head. “Probably the worst way!” He added.

I saw her look deeper into my eyes and that’s when I heard her say something that shocked me to my core. “Who was that? And what did he mean by mate?” She asked.

What the he**? She could hear Leon? I didn’t know what to say or do, so I just left. I grabbed my son on the way out and dragged him out to the car.

“Don’t tell me you believe that dumb sl*t!” Roderick shrieked out.

I slammed him up against the car and shouted in his face. “Don’t you dare say that about her!”

His face turned to pure shock as he realized what this mean. “So, she’s your mate and you just automatically believe her?” He said still thinking that I knew nothing. “You believe that bit** over your own son! You know I’ve never done anything wrong, and you still believe her?” He yelled in my face.

“Hey, my mate did tell the truth, she had a recording Rod, she recorded the whole thing, I saw all of it. The papers you wrote her, you yelling at her, and later flipping her skirt up and exposing her in front of the class! I saw it all!” I yelled in his face tossing him in the front seat.

His face paled when he knew that there was a recording of it. He knew he was caught, and he stopped trying to defend himself. “Okay, dad I admit it, but she was flirting with me, it was shameless.”

“Enough Rod! I saw the whole thing, the WHOLE thing! You’re in deep sh*t when we get home!” I said pulling out of the school and driving off quickly. I looked in my rear view mirror and what I saw made me stop the car. Principal Ferris was standing outside with my mate, and he slapped her. The car screeched to a halt and I sped back pulling in front of them. “Why the he** do you hit her?” I asked rushing you her side. Her eyes were red and puffy, she had been crying, and her face was bruising where he hit her.

“She is being fired for starting false accusations against your son. This is a just punishment!” He shouted proudly.

“There were no false accusations, everything she said was true!” I shouted loudly! “She has a recording of what happened! She showed it to me! You didn’t even bother hearing her out, you just heard that my son was in trouble and this is what you did?” I yelled my anger seething out of me.

Suddenly I felt a hand go in the middle of my back. “Hey, I’m okay. Calm down, it doesn’t even hurt that bad.” She said turning her face away from me.

“No! I will not calm down. He assaulted you! You have been assaulted twice today, once by my son, and once my the principal of the school you work at!” I yelled back still not fully in control of my anger.

Then I saw it, fear flashed across her face. She was afraid of me. I scared her, enough to make her take a step back. “Really, I’m fine.” She said sadly under her breath looking down to her feet.

I sighed heavily. “Do you still want to work here after all of this?” I asked her.

She looked up, her big round eyes that reminded me of the color of the forest we live in shimmered with unshed tears. “I-I don’t know.” She said honestly. “I always wanted to be a music teacher, this was my dream. But you’re right, I’ve been assaulted twice on my first day.” She said looking back down at the ground and holding her bag close to her chest. “I guess technically more than that.” She said snickering a little. What was so funny about that? Then she started crying, just full big tears spilling down her face.

I pulled her into me, her small frame just reaching around my stomach, I hugged her deeply. “Hey, it’s okay. Don’t cry, there is a nice school closer to where I live, it’s for elementary students, would you want to come work there? I can get you in a music teacher position no problem. They don’t have a music teacher as of right now.”

She stilled in my arms, not really knowing what to do, I could feel her tension release. “R-Really?” She asked looking up at me, tears still streaming down her flawless face.

“Yes, really. Here is the address.” I said writing it down on a sticky note that was in my pocket. “Show up here tomorrow, and I will make sure you are treated well!” I said happy to know she’ll be closer to me and I can keep an eye on her.

She looked up at me, her eyes piercing my heart that had been cold for so long. “Thank you!” She said a warm beautiful smile stretching across her face. Goddess she was beautiful! I thought to myself as I reluctantly let her go.

“One more thing! I said turning my attention back to the principal. My truck has a back up camera, and it records everything. You’ll be hearing from my lawyer about the assault on this teacher!” I said before turning around and walking Ms. Jones to her car. “Here, you drive home and get some rest, call me with your decision later, and I will have them set up a classroom for you Ms.” I paused not even knowing my mates first name.

“Avery.” She smiled extending her hand out to me. “Avery Jones.” She said as I took her hand and shook it. “Thank you, for everything. This was supposed to be a great day, and it kinda just turned to crap!” She said getting into her car. “I guess I got a few good things out of it.” She flashed that beautiful smile and handed her phone out to me.

I quickly put my number in and saved it under ‘Xander’ and handed it back to her. “Just let me know.” I said and began walking away.

“I will, thank you Xander.” She said calling my name and making my body tense up at the way it sounded coming from her soft lips.

I walked up to my truck jumping in and looking to my son. “You’re in for it now!” I said. “You got her fired from her job here!” I yelled at him.

He snickered under his breath and I almost lose it pulling out of the school parking lot. “Don’t worry though, I got her a new job, on pack grounds, so I can see her every day!” I said loudly.

His face paled. “You can’t be serious? What about mom?” He said, a pang of guilt hit me.

“Rod, your mom has been dead for 14 years. She is my second chance mate, and I’m not going to lose her to.” I said driving us back to the pack grounds. “I’m going to try to move on. I’ve had girlfriends in the past, you know that. So why are you so worried now?” I asked.

“It just feels wrong. Like you’re replacing her.” He said staring out the window.

“No one is replacing your mother Rod, but I deserve to move on and be happy. Your mother wouldn’t want us to be miserable forever. We have to move on. I finally found my second chance mate. I’ll finally have someone to help me run the pack, and be there for me. I need that son.” I said looking over. I can tell he didn’t like this, but it’s not all about him anymore. He’s 18, and should know by now what having a mate means. It’s our everything, and I need her.
