Substitute for The Alpha King
Chapter 71: No Estrangement

There was no more estrangement between Shawn and Hannah, after they had had sex that morning, they revealed their secrets to each other and stayed wrapped in each other's arms for a long while until noon and then they had to go pack their bags to set off in a short while. as Hannah folded her clothes into her luggage, she could not help but wonder how it will all be when they arrive in his pack on whether his parents will be happy to see her.

Staring at the reflection of herself through the middle, she ran her index finger on her jawline.

"What are you thinking about?" Shawn asked, leaning against the door. He had been watching her all along without even realizing it. She could tell that she had a lot on her mind and it was weighing her down at the moment which was why the smile on her face had rapidly faded away after he left her all alone to go fix breakfast for them.

"Nothing, I'm fine, are you done packing your bags?"

"Not yet, I was waiting for you to be done with your so that you could help me organize my bag, I'm not sure of the right outfits to carry and I need an extra hand choosing all those things"

Hannah shook her head. She did not realize that she was going to be doing a Nanny's job as well, since he could not choose his outfit. However, that was just another one of Shawn's pranks to get her to come close to him. "You look so beautiful when you are lost in thought"

"Don't even start"

"Why? Are you scared?" he took a step closer to her as she clung the sheets to her chest. Hannah looked everywhere else except the bed. She did not want to think too much nor did she want again to meet her bed. She knew what was bound to happen. He was bound to come closer to her and they would end up making love on the bed and forget that they had somewhere important to get to before Night Falls. She wouldn't want them to stay on the road all night long nor would she want them to be stuck in traffic. Garden City was a big town and so most times, Many people will be stuck in traffic for hours without having to move their cars. she would not want to be in such a situation where our car will have to be stuck, how can we be stuck in traffic?

"I am not scared, I just don't think we should start what we cannot finish"

"Well, I think we should start, we finished the last one and we're going to finish this one as well"

"Don't be naughty Shawn, we have to get to your pack before Night Falls"

"Who said it must be today?" He arched up his brow at her and she rolled her eyes, seeing right through him, he was hungry for her and she just didn't know when it all started. As much as she wanted to be wrapped around his house, she knew she had to control herself so they could get on with it and get to his pack. Her heart was already anxious as she was not sure what to expect once they left Garden City and headed over to his pack.

"Where exactly do you want it to be if not today of all days?"

But I want to spend time with you"

"Don't act like a baby, we have been together all night long and this morning as well, we barely even had much to eat because we are so entangled in each other's arms. do you want to continue with that or would you want to control yourself and go ahead and pack your back" "Even if I control myself, I don't think I can control my body and my wolf"

"Don't blame the poor wolf who is sleeping right now, if there is someone to blame that should be you for not being able to keep it in together"

"Seriously? Are you going to blame me? but I have tried to keep it in for so long, we've been apart for a long time and so he's just been desperate to always be close to you and I want to be close to you as well. That is not too wrong?" "There is nothing wrong with that, but not right now when we are busy trying to pack up our bags and head over to your Pack"

"You sound serious all the time. it makes me wonder why, you're worrying about nothing and I can assure you that almost everyone will like you once we get there, so stop overthinking and for once trust me that I will not leave you no matter what happens"

The sheet fell from her hands and she wondered how he saw that as well, when it came to her, it was almost predictable what she was thinking. " I trust you otherwise I wouldn't even be setting up on this journey if I had no trust for you"

"Then stop thinking except the fact that everything will be alright, you know you're putting your love for yourself through a lot of stress, worrying yourself, and thinking too much"

"It is not wrong to worry about whether your husband's mother and father and the rest of his family are going to like you. I bet that if my mother was not sick and my father had accepted me like a father should accept his daughter, you would be worried as well. but you have nothing to worry about because I have no one, and I make my own decisions myself" It broke his heart that she had said that, but he knew that she did not mean it the wrong way when she revealed herself to him, she had revealed to him as well that she had no one other than him feeling that the mother was still in the hospital.

"How did you know what I was thinking?"
