Substitute for The Alpha King
Chapter 57: Go to Work

When the sun filtered through the window, it was another day and Shawn sat on his bed, he could not sleep all through the night as he wondered what was wrong with Hannah, he was not happy that she did not believe that they were not mate, everything happens for a reason and they had both met without realizing that they are something to each other. Not in a million times did he ever think that he would ever meet her with his mate being his substitute bride, and now that has happened he was glad that she was the one, for Hannah was everything that anyone could ever desire. Still, yet, she was giving him a hard time and he was this close to giving up in trying to convince her that it was him and no one else.

He had no clue what to do as he sat there staring at the window hoping the sun would shine through and cast on his face but it didn't, he was lost in thoughts for a moment when a knock quickly came on the door. Without a doubt, he already knew that it was Hannah standing behind closed doors and did not respond, he was not ready to face her, they would end up having an argument once again so it was best for her to leave for work so that at night he would have thought of what to say it to her, the whole point was in convincing her that he was her mate and no one else. she will get to know once it is time why she could not show anything not even the attraction at first glance but he felt it Since he was an Alpha it was easy for him and not her.

"Shawn, I know that you are in there, why don't you at least open up so that we can talk about last night"

"go to work Hannah, there is nothing for us to talk about" he was not angry with her yet she wanted to push her away. last night was a mess and he did not want that happening again, not in the morning when she was all dressed up and ready to leave for work. they will start arguing and everything will go back to how it was last night, she will get mad at her and climb the rooftop and the neighbors will see him, to be crazy and he did not like that at all.

"Is that really what you want?"

"yes that is what I want"

"I made breakfast, come on let's eat, it is your favorite, pancakes"

I am not hungry"

"Shawn, you're being so hard right now and it's difficult to try and get through to you"

"well maybe I don't want to get through to me"

"If I work out through this door I am never coming back, do you really want me to leave?"

Shawn looks at her, he studies the lines on her face, every crease on her face wondering why she was suddenly different, Just yesterday she was the one who was being so difficult and refused to speak to him and now she wants to talk, and not leave for work. that was something else. did you say you want something?" he looked at her and she scoffed.

he was unbelievable he already knew what she wanted yet he was acting as if you didn't know.

""yes I do"

"what is it that you want?"

"I already told you I want us to have breakfast together and talk"

"you see now is not a really a good time, we talk and then you get mad at me, and then we end up fighting I don't think is really good for us to talk this morning, and besides I don't want you to be late for work"

"I don't think you should be worried about my job right now and besides I'm not worried, I have been giving my best to the company if I come a little late today it wouldn't hurt, I won't get fired you know" "you sound so confident"

"I am not sounding confident"

"Just go to work now, perhaps when you return we could talk, by then I figured out what to say as well. I really don't want last night to repeat itself"

"tell me about your parents" She was insistent but he no longer wanted to talk about it not in the morning when she had somewhere else to be.

"just yesterday we were honest with each other and it took a long time before I could talk and when I finally did you end up going to work late, I don't want that to happen again"

"you care about my job yet you want me to leave, isn't that hypocritical?" she laughed almost hilarious as his words

"do you know what? I don't care what you say, we are still leaving, it is just a little bit being delayed, just give me some time, do you get it?"

"No I won't, last night you wanted your response right there and I gave it to you and now I want my right now so you're going to give so you're going to give it to me"

When he looked at her she was not backing down, are there is not passing away from him not even for a moment. he knew he would have to give her the response that he wanted as she wouldn't work away she was being difficult at the moment. that brought a smile to his face and Hannah For a moment thought that he was going to tell her all about it but he doesn't, instead he got up from the bed and walked out of the door leaving her all alone in the room. she was not about to give up so she chased after him walking into the living room and I held his hand before he could walk out of the door.

"where are you going?"

"you said you're not going to leave, so I figured that I should be the one who gets to leave so we can get to work"

"you're kidding right?"

"no, I'm not" he left the house
