Substitute for The Alpha King
Chapter 83: The Two of us

Shawn looked at her as she sat down and was eating, he moved towards her slowly and reclined back in his seat hoping that she would not feel uncomfortable now that he was going to be eating with her. but then she did not bother to glance at him and that broke his heart. he knew she was having a hard time as well but then, he wished that she would not be this way and make it seem as though it was all his fault, he was already feeling guilty it had consumed him.

"You don't know how much I wanted to take back every word I said to you about my family I'm back. I'm sorry, I know it looks as though I was leading you on, but it was never my intention, all I did was tell the truth that I thought was the truth, but I was surprised that it wasn't and now you're not happy"

"What I feel has nothing to do with you, don't beat yourself up it was meant to happen from someone who has a very Shady past and an illegitimate daughter at that"

"You shouldn't say that" he was not happy that she always referred to herself as an illegitimate child. She shouldn't beat herself up about the substitute marriage something she was not the one who had proposed first, and it had to do with her mother so she was going to listen to The Proposal and accept it. Anyone in her shoes would want to do the same thing as well, it would only take someone who had no heart to refuse such a request that might save the mother.

"Why? That is the truth I am not the real daughter of my father and if he had accepted me and not turned me into an illegitimate child then maybe your parents would have as well accepted me and that would be a problem for your entire Pack. I have never accepted that I will be legitimate and, to be honest, I hope I wasn't, so many times I had never seen a problem with it, and other times I have seen a big deal with it, I have always regretted it, but right now I am greatly disturbed over it, I wish that the moon goddess will just take away that pain from me but it wasn't so easy at all"

Staring into his eyes, he stared right back into my eyes and smiled hoping that she was not going to be that way all the time but then, it was already too late, she was not happy at all, the only reason why she sat down on the dining table was that she could not afford to go hungry all through her stay here, she will lose her strength and get weak so easily.

"You haven't touched your food" she had to admit

"You haven't touched yours as well"

"I have been eating just don't have the appetite that much"

"Same as me, I don't have the appetite that much to even stomach anything, but then what can I do? there is nothing more for me to do than look at you and feel guilty all the time"

"I don't want you feeling guilty at all, you are not my father and this is not your fault. if there is anyone who should blame himself, it should be me I was the fool who thought that I'll be accepted and the illegitimacy doesn't mean anything or the fact that I was a substitute didn't mean anything which is why I thought that honesty at the end pays off, but it doesn't"

"Without you having to replace your sister I would not have known you at all and I would not have realized that you are my mate, would have been two estranged lovers when we met, is that what you want?"

She doesn't say anything, she has never imagined Shawn being with another woman but the last time that he had talked about some women checking her out, she was so jealous and walked away. if Shawn was with her sister she knew that Jessica would never give her up at all. As long as she had known that he was the Alpha and all her life she had dreamed about getting married to an Alpha, she would do everything within her power to make sure that he ended up being with her for good even if she pretended to be pregnant.

"I know that, and it would have been bad because my sister will never give you up if she knows that you are an Alpha and you have the money"

"She loves money huh?"

"I think that is why she rejected this proposal in the first place because the real Shawn no longer has money like his family used to her so she could never accept living as the wife of a Nobody. She wants attention and money, and so whoever was not giving it to her was not going to make her happy, I have a feeling that if she's ever going to get her mate and he doesn't have any money she will plead for the moon goddess to make him reject her.

"That is Shady"

Jessica is Shady"

"Even without meeting her, right from the first day that I heard her voice I did not like her, she was mean and I hate Mean Girls, which is why I don't like Ashley as well"

"Between those two I wonder who is more mean" Just thinking about Ashley made her smile, she remembered the last time they met and she had taken her to the rooftop. she could remember her voice echoing in her head as she pleaded for her to have mercy, ever since that day Ashley had never returned to work and was no longer messing around with her.

"I think your sister is more vicious than actually will ever be"

"You think so?" just when Shawn was about to answer that question a woman suddenly yelled. " what in the world is going on here?"
