Substitute for The Alpha King
Chapter 64: we belong together

"You're not making any sense to me, I understand you very well though but then I don't think the reason you have is something that I should consider because I am very sure that we are mates, so no one else is going to come for you or for me. I don't know why you don't

want to believe and choose to doubt all the time"

"I am not doubting you, I am just trying to be reasonable"

"So now I'm unreasonable?"

"No! That is not what I'm saying, all I am trying to say is that right now I need to look at other possible options that might come up in the future. I don't want problems with you, Shawn. you have always been supportive of me and have been caring towards me so I don't want to ever look up to that day in which we will end up hurting each other because of a wrong decision that we made in the past"

"I won't hurt you because I have not made any Bad decision that will hurt any of us, everything that I have done so far has been only because of you and no one else"

"Why are you so sure that you are right and that I am wrong"

"That is what you would have found a long time ago, don't you think so?"

"it is never too late and I want to know"

"What is it that you want to know?"

Hannah was even confused, she had no clue where to start nor where to stop, one thing she knew was that she just wanted She admired his persistence and wanted to know the reason behind it since she did not have that sort of persistence in her. for the little time she had been with Shawn, she had come to realize that he was not that kind of person who loves to say something without having a reason for it. he has been adamant that she was the one and so that could only mean that He must have seen something or so. "Do you know what?"

""what is it?"

"I never expected your concerns to be these things, it worries me that you will think about my family in a situation like this, you should have known that once you stay with me I will do everything within my power to protect you and no harm will come your way" "And I said that I don't want you fighting your family, how can I stand there and watch you fight your father and mother who have loved you unlike mine, my father never loved me and if I choose to fight him, it isjust only right because he has never deserved to be called a father not even for a day or for a moment, whereas my stepmother doesn't know what it is to be a mother, all she cares about is her daughter and no one else, still when I hurt them, I get worried, I do not want to hurt them except the needs to arises, and decide to hurt me, then I will not stand for it, I will retaliate and get them back by making them feel twice the pain that I was feeling"

"I won't fight them, there will be no need for me to fight them because they will get to see that you are what the moon goddess has placed in front of me"

"Will you stop saying that?"

she was getting tired of him talking about the moon goddess when she had already told him that they were not mates, and he was equally not happy that all these were her concerns. She did not think that this was something That she should bother herself with. "Why should I stop saying that when that is the truth, You don't know me at all, if you did, you would realize that I am not the kind of man who will shy away from speaking the truth and neither will I make up stories just to get what I want. I will not deceive you, we've come so far for me to do anything, that will break us up when we did not choose to divorce"

"don't you think that we should have divorced and save ourselves the stress of having to go through this pain all over again"

he glared at her aware that she was still talking about their so-called mates suddenly showing up, That was never going to happen because he was the one who was going to show up and he had already done so, she only had to embrace what was right before her. "don't you ever say that again, I already told you that no one is going to show up, why can't you trust me on this?"

"I trust you, if I don't, do you think I'll be listening to this, do you know how many times I wish that what you're saying is true?"

"that means you are in doubt"

"Of course, I am in doubt, I can't look you in the eyes and tell you that I believe everything that you have said when I can't feel your scent in my nose, why haven't I felt my wolf run wild because you, you have been standing in front of me all along but yet I should nothing. no tension, no heat, no bond, all my life I've always wanted to feel that way, I wanted to feel this fire-filled lust, something intense like a moth to a flame, But I am not feeling all that. it is just empty, the only feeling that I feel is a likeness I have for you because you are a very caring and loving person, you're a good man Shawn, but I don't feel that strong bond for you"

Shawn was not angry, he had never felt any strong bond with any woman until she came around and made him realize that she had been the one all along.

"I can prove to you that we belong together, tell me what are you going to do about it?"
