Chapter Seven .
The Diary of Chloe Hancock.
July 10th
Dear Diary,
Seriously, there is some strange and weird ass s**t going on in this place!
So… after heading to the headmaster’s house with his younger brother Josh, and my new best friend Nicola, we had to suddenly leave. Apparently there were some locals who liked to attack the house, and Josh wanted us back safe. But seriously, I heard f*****g howling that night, and so did Nicki. Josh just brushed it off, stating it was probably a dog… ain’t no dog howling like that that I have ever heard before!
Today was my first official day and included going to lessons. After adding my own flare to my uniform, by wearing fishnet tights, ripped at the thighs and knees, along with a pair of doc martin boots, I headed to the dining hall for breakfast.
Now I may have got myself into a little trouble, and honestly, it was not my fault, this time!
Uptight Ursula decided to have a go about us turning up where we were not wanted. Again. She actually pushed Nicki, who ended up on her ass in front of everyone, much to her embarrassment, and to be honest my blood boiled, that b***h thought she could get away with that!
Well, not on my watch.
So, I may have 'accidently on purpose' tipped the contents of my breakfast tray all over her head. I swear she started to shake, her face began to contort and, honestly, her teeth grew longer,. As Josh stepped in and pushed her away, she returned to normal. She then looked at me, eyes blazing and pointed her finger, shouting at the top of her screechy lungs that I was going to regret my actions when she reported me to the headmaster.
I asked Nicki if she saw Ursula’s slight change in appearance when it happened, but she said she didn’t, and kind of giggled at me, stating it was probably my anger playing tricks on me.
But I know what I saw.
Things with Nicki and Josh have halted since last night and this morning. Although he is always watching her, he didn’t have his lunch with us, and left before tea, which was a shame. It is clear to me they both have the hots for each other, but something is stopping Josh making a move, probably Uptight Ursula and her bid to be, as she calls it, his ‘mate’, which Ethan told me is a local term for girlfriend or boyfriend. Well, in my opinion, Josh doesn’t want her for his ‘mate’ but I would like to bet my last penny he wants Nicki.
I just hope Josh does not fall for the queen bee bullshit, and keeps his interest in Nicki. After all, she is worth 10 f*****g Ursula’s.
PE was running laps. Boring. I attempted to claim I had period cramps. It used to work at my old school, but not a chance here, so off I went running around chasing my tail in circles. But after that, we headed to the mythology class, the subject being the origins of werewolf myths and legends. For once, I actually did not get bored, it was quite fascinating. The added bonus was I did not have to write anything down, all I had to do was memorise the key points of the class and do a small presentation on Friday to prove I had learnt the lesson, which is piss simple.
Well, I am off to bed, because according to Ethan, the headmaster is back tomorrow, and apparently, he will be doing his rounds and checking up on us all…. (Great… I cannot wait!) and all of my fellow inmates wanted an early night apart from me. But given there is nothing else to do, I guess I will get some sleep before I end up in front of the headmaster, for my little stunt on Ursula. Well, he may punish me, but I am going to stand my ground. Ursula is nothing but a bully, and someone must stand up to her.
Laters.

As the sunlight lit up the room through the edges of the drapes, Chloe turned over, placing the duvet cover over her face.
“What time is it?” she asked, not wanting to get up.
“Six, the alarm will go off shortly” Nicola sleepily informed her.
“f**k, why do we have to be up so damned early?” Chloe complained into her pillow.
“Because the headmaster is back, and he is calling an assembly straight after breakfast,” Nicola reminded Chloe.
“s**t, how could I forget? If uptight Ursula has reported me, I guess I am going to be in for a bollocking”, Chloe sighed.
“Hey, I will shower first, give you an extra fifteen minutes in bed, given you are in trouble because of me.” Nicola said, jumping out of bed.
“No, not because of you Nicki, because our head girl is a total b***h and needs a slap.” Chloe corrected her, not wanting Nicola to feel guilt for something that was not her fault.
After getting ready, something inside Chloe started to feel excited, her stomach was leaping around like she had one of Nicola’s frogs in it. She started to feel a strange undiluted happiness coming from within her, which was rather strange given she was expecting to be punished for her stunt yesterday. Her heart was beating out of her chest, and Chloe had to steady herself on the door frame before leaving her dorm.
“Hey, are you okay?” Nicola asked, concerned as her friend looked like she was about to pass out.
“Yeah, I am fine, I just came over a little funny, like I felt really happy and excited for some reason” Chole answered, shaking her head slightly before heading down the corridor, to the staircase that led to the dining hall.
“Well, our headmaster is hot, not as hot as Josh, of course, but he is like a male model in his own right!" Nicola grinned.
“So… are you saying I may enjoy the punishment?” Chloe giggled.
“Well, whatever floats your boat” Nicola laughed as she linked arms with Chloe.
As Chloe entered the dining room, standing in the centre of the room, deliberately blocking her way was Uptight Ursula.
“Let’s see if you are so brave as to attack the head girl now, our Alp… headmaster is here.” Ursula spat at Chloe, her hands folded across her chest.
“Well, if the head girl was not a b***h ass bully, I would not have to put her in her place” Chloe retorted, determined not to be intimidated by the girl.
Zander stood behind the door, listening to the confrontation that was playing out in the dining hall. Josh had, of course, informed him about what had happened yesterday, and it was clear to him that Ursula needed to be stripped of her position. He needed to remove her from the 'Full Moon House'. He would normally put her into 'Eclipse', but as she has her wolf, and had a problem with both his and Joshua’s human mates, he would have to find another place for her.
“Listen, just because you have the title 'Head Girl', it does not give you the right to bully people just because you want to. You shout about how you are a leader and should be obeyed. You mistake leadership with dictatorship. A true leader is also a servant. They serve the people under their care, not lord it over them, demanding respect. Respect is earnt not given, and you have done nothing to earn my respect, or the respect of anyone in 'Eclipse'.” Chloe preached to Ursula.
Zander’s chest puffed out as he was filled with pride. His mate really did have the potential to be a great Luna! She was correct in everything she just said, and it came naturally. She had not been taught this principle, she just knew it. A smile teetered on his lips, until his brother shouted over the mind link.
“Get in here now, Ursula is going to attack her.”
Chloe stood motionless, as Ursula grabbed hold of her long hair, and with a clenched fist heading towards her, Chloe knew she was going to get hit. Suddenly, it was as if time stood still, Ursula paled and did not get to the punch. The smell of sandalwood and musk filled the room, goosebumps erupted all over Chloe’s body, her heart beat out of her chest, and that indescribably happy feeling erupted in her stomach once more.
“Ursula Kirkstone, my office NOW!” A voice that had her panties soaking wet in less than a nano second rang out.
“Y….yes.. alpha” Ursula stuttered.
Chole wondered if she had heard correctly, but her focus was more on the smell and beautiful feeling that surrounded her. She had felt this once before, back when she first saw the man who haunted her dreams, her mystery hot guy. As Ursula let go of her hair, Chloe turned around, gasping out loud, as standing before her, was that very man.
“It’s you” Chloe stated, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Are you okay, Miss Hancock?” Zander asked, the temptation to reach out and pull her into his chest, then carry her away from everyone was almost too much as Caesar shouted at him.
“Help Mate, get Mate away,” repeatedly in his head
Chloe felt her mind go fuzzy, the room began to spin, as she gazed into the eyes of the man who she never thought she would see again, let alone be her headmaster.
“ Mate is going to faint, she feels the pull, hold her, stop her from falling.” Caesar begged inside Zander.
Instinctively, Zander took hold of Chloe’s arm, and instantly the sparks rushed up his arm, hitting his groin, as he stared intently into her beautiful blue eyes, her small face, and perfect pink lips that he wanted to feel against his own. Chloe gasped once more, and staring into his eyes, bit her bottom lip.
The shock and intense feelings became too much for her and she passed out, just before Zander scooped her into his big strong arms and stormed out of the dining hall.
“What happened?” Lacey Black asked, as Zander stormed past her desk still holding Chloe against his chest.
“She passed out, has Ursula arrived yet?” Zander growled, his concern for his mate making him feel unstable and angry.
“Yes, she is waiting in your office,” Lacey informed him.
“Get her out of there, I cannot see her, she was going to attack Chloe, and I may not be responsible for what I do next!” Zander ordered.
“Yes, but you go into my office, there is a couch, lay her down on that, and try to calm your wolf, he is about to take over” Lacey said, as she walked towards the headmaster’s office, to tell Ursula to wait in her dorm until further notice.
Zander laid Chloe onto the sofa, as he gently stroked her hair, unable to stop himself.
“ Mate feels the bond, I can feel something inside her.” Caesar stated, happy his mate felt the sparks.
“Do you mean she has a wolf?” Zander asked, confused.
“ No, not that I can talk to or feel, but there is something, I just don’t know what, but I do know she feels the mate bond.”
Zander looked down as Chloe fluttered her eyes open.
“How is this possible?” Chloe whispered.
“All in good time, but for now, you need rest. Close your eyes, Chloe, relax.” Zander softly ordered.
Chloe closed her eyes, and as the darkness of sleep descended, she felt sparks on the top of her head. Just before she passed out once more, she felt a small kiss on the top of her head.
