Substitute for The Alpha King
Chapter 67: He is my wolf III

"Do you want to know the truth?"

"Of course I do, that is why I'm asking, Do you intend to lie to me?"

He closed the space between them, his eyes not parting from her. "I will never lie to you, when I chose to reveal this, I had already made up my mind that I was going to tell you nothing but the truth so that you might believe that the moon goddess indeed placed you right before me and that you are nothing else but my mate"

She doesn't say a word but chooses to believe him, nevertheless. he had come a long way and if he wanted to lie to her, he would not have revealed that part of himself, he would have kept it a secret away from her until the very end.

"The thing is, I have known that you are my mate for a very long time but I choose to keep quiet because I was only concerned about you. I don't want you to have my enemies and I don't want them to come in after you as if you did something wrong when you have nothing to do with any of this, and I know that your mother is in the hospital and I will not want to bother you any longer so the only thing I could do it for you is to keep it away from you"

"Why do you choose to care about me so much?"

"Because you are my mate and if I don't care about you, who else will? I have longed to be in your arms, and desire the moment that the both of us will be together, and I will reveal everything to you, but those desires could not push me to hurt you. I know that the moment that I chose to review this with you, I was finally accepting you to become part of me and part of my pack. I want you right by my side all the time, but I want you to be mine, I don't want to share you with anyone else and I don't want others looking at you as if you belong to them, I think about all those things, which is why when you indicated that there may be some other mates it breaks my heart and makes me want to rip his head out if I see him around you"

Hannah smiled, She never considered him to be so possessive but it was cute hearing all that from him. "I am going to make you feel my scent and I hope you can be able to control yourself"

Hannah cannot promise that since all her life she had wanted nothing more than to see her mate and have her dream of having a family that would love her just the way that she wanted since she did not have that kind of love from my stepmother and father, and the very woman who has put her to birth and would have showered her all the love was sick couldn't have showered her with all those love that she desired.

"Do you want to reveal it?"

"Of course, I'd, that is the only way that you believe me and I wouldn't have come this far if I knew that I wouldn't reveal my sent to you"

"Where did you hide it from me that I would not even be able to recognize that you are the one even if you're standing right before me? I know that he must have done it for another reason what is it?"

"There is no other reason, that is why I hid my scent away, but then my wolf tends to fall into sleep whenever you are close to him so that you will never be able to recognize him at all"

"Is it that your wolf slips into sleep?"

"Yes but especially when you are close to him. I have been restraining myself all along but right now, there is no more need for me to do it because we are going back home to be with everyone who will care about us, my identity will be revealed in no distant time, so you will get to feel it all and then answer if I am truly your mate or not"

"There is no need to doubt you since the answer is right before me. I have already figured out everything, that you have been right all along and we are truly destined to meet. the moon goddess gave you to me and I will not doubt it"

"Are you sure about that? and you certainly don't need to figure out other things?"

"I have never been so sure you're my life and what other things would I need to figure out when I already have everything that I always wanted,"

although Shawn sensed what she was talking about him, he still wanted to hear it from her mouth. "what is it that you've always wanted? tell me, I'm a make your dream come true"

"There is nothing more that I have always wanted than having my mates with me, if I had known that it was you all along I would have-"

"Shhh. you don't have to regret and beat yourself up, there is no way you would have recognized me because I did not reveal myself to you, if there's anyone that you should blame it should be me and not yourself"

"How could I blame you? how could I hate you when you told me the truth all along, but I chose to live in doubt and fear?"

"Anyone in your shoes will do the same and I'll probably do the same if you were the one who has told me this, you are just being careful so that your mate will not show up, and then everybody else will get hurt from it, I don't want that too if you were not my mate, I would have let you and optioned for the divorce except your mate rejects you. I was adamant about staying because I know all along that you are mine and only mine, do you accept that?"
