Substitute for The Alpha King
Chapter 86: The face off I

When Shawn and Hannah were done with their breakfast, Hannah went off to her room while Shawn left his house, it had been a while since he had taken a walk around the pack. Walking off the dining heading towards the living room and off outside the house, he bumped into his father tending to the beautiful flowers that were decorating his house. he was surprised to see that he was seeing the one who tended to the flower up to date. he thought that he was getting old and had passed it down to one of the workers in the house, but then he still took time and always tended to his flowers. he stared at him for a moment and then turned around just needing to walk the other way so as not to be stopped by him when his father called him and he halted. "You should come over here"

Shawn would have ignored him and walked the other way. Still, after having the little talk with Hannah earlier in the dining room he finally realized that she was probably right, and if he continued he might not be able to soften the heart of his parents. They might never accept her as the woman he was going to get married to. That was not what he wanted, he wanted her to get their approval and for them to finally realize that despite anything she was the only one who stood by his side when he was Far Away and she cared for him even though he never had a dime on him.

"why?"

"Can't you listen to your father and get over without asking questions?"

"I wanted to, but there I know who my father is, the moment that I get closer to that place, he will just end up saying things that will just piss me off, so it is better I turn around and continue heading to where I was heading to" "Where are you heading to?"

"outside the house, I intend to take a walk around the pack, it has been a while since I've taken a walk around my pack. I've been to the neighboring packs and other packs for many years I have been on the run, and now I have finally back so it's time that I take a walk around the pack, head for the woods, and run to the mountains and see my pack. perhaps I might figure out what I want"

"what is it that you want?"

"how to make understand Hannah not to feel this way, I have told her that I will always choose her over anyone and anything" he was doing this on purpose so that his father would get it through his mind that despite whatever he was trying to say to him when he gets closer he has already made up his mind, and no one is going to change it, not today, not tomorrow, and definitely not ever. the only thing he was going to end up doing was wasting his time and breathing because, at the end of the day, Hannah be the only one who would be in his mind and heart.

"Hannah, that is all I have been hearing ever since you got back. what has that woman done to you? you don't use to be this way in the past, you used to always listen and understand"

"and you don't used to be this way as well father, you used to always ask me what I wanted and used to always understand as well. Why did you change to become someone else? why are you always taking Mum's side rather than even trying to listen to what I want? For a man who was once an alpha I expected you to be better than Mum in all ramifications, but then you're even worse than her and right now I cannot seem to stand here and look at you for us to talk about anything because I know that you only just try to piss me off" "I was an alpha who did everything for his pack"

"by doing everything for his pack, do you equally mean abandoning your mate because I know that Mum was not from a rich family, but you accepted her because she was your mate, and now you want me to turn my back on my mate just because of some silly things that you just found out about her"

"It is not silly at all, how can you call that thing silly when she was the one Who has a Shady past? As an alpha, it is good to always keep your options open in trying to choose a Luna for you because this will be the person that will Stand By Your Side to lead the pack, and also when you are not around, she will be the one who the pack comes to. what exactly does that woman know about leading the pack?"

Shawn glares at his father, if it was someone else who had said that, he would not hesitate to smash his face for saying such a thing for he knew that Hannah was more than qualified to be the lead of this Pack, and she was going to stay by his side to lead the people more than anyone else, even more than his mother.

"You think she is not capable because she has a Shady past, is that it? is that how you judge people? is that how you see the rest of the people? Do you think I want some Little Miss Perfect to be my mate? I have never wanted that and even the moon goddess knows it as well but then you and mum keep pushing it and thinking that I am still that little boy who you want to control. I am not, all my life I have always wanted to be an Alpha who will lead his people and always be by their side, but then I also wanted to have my mate who I will protect" "And so?"

"What?" he was surprised. "Tell me, Father, what exactly did mom do as a Luna because in my eyes she didn't do anything at all"
