Substitute for The Alpha King novel Chapter 53

“What are you talking about?” she was confused by his words, a moment ago he was just asking her if she was coming with him but now he seemed to be adamant with his decision and no longer asking her what she wanted, he implied that he was telling her what she was going to do and that was not something she understands.

“ I am no longer asking you if you want to come with me” Shawn was assertive, he already had in mind that she might not be able to accept his proposal, he decided long ago that she was going to come with him no matter what she decides to do.

“ you're not being serious right now, are you?”

“ of course I am, “

“Shawn”

“ you are the one who decided not to listen”

“ who decided not to listen?” she was amazed At his explanation. She will never believe that he will just decide for her when she's already made her decision, she never thought he was that sort of man until now.

“The thing is you don't understand Hannah, I cannot leave you here alone I won't be at rest knowing that you're just there with no one by your side and moreover there can be an easy target for anyone who wants to hurt me, that is something that I cannot let happen, you don't know what you mean to me”

“ what is it that I mean to you?”

“ I already told you about our attraction for each other the bond between us is something that you should believe because that is the truth, I will never lie to you”

“ And I never said that, all I admitted was that this was not going to work out because I felt nothing, and if you're really my destined attraction mate then how come I cannot be able to fill your scent lingering in my nose as I should, everyone should be able to be able to feel the scent of their mate lingering in their nose, nevertheless I feel nothing, do you really expect me to just believe all that, that is not possible, I will be a fool if I believe it without any evidence, it is not that I don't believe you but it is just too much for me to bear and following you as if we are meant to be it's something that I can't just decide at the moment there was too much at stake for me to leave it behind”

“ what exactly is at stake here? don't tell me it is your job because I know you are lying”

“It is not about the the job,”

“ then what is it about, what exactly is at stake? please tell me Hannah” he had a feeling she had nothing to say and truly she had nothing to say, she just didn't think she should go with him since he was not her mate, and she was nothing to him but a wife who came in as a substitute in the first place before the entire truth came out.

“I don't want to talk about it?|

“ he doesn't want to talk about it or because there's nothing actually there for you to say”

she shook her head he was being rather Blunt than she expected, perhaps she did not really know the real Shawn until now, but it felt as if it was him who did not know the real her. She was not mad at him that he was caring about her, she loved that he did not want to leave her behind, Mike would have left her behind and her father would have done the same thing too but Shawn proved different almost every time and she loved that about him and she loves that about him.
