My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?!

"We met again, my lord!" Eli looked straight into the cold eyes of the man who did not have any sentiment on his face yet he looked so damn attractive that she could not help but look at him with starry eyes.

The man did not even nod or greet her as they started dancing together that she would have left from there that instant if it would have been anyone else. 

But there was something strange in his eyes that she could not do so even if she wanted to. As if a strong invisible chain was binding her with him.

"Why are you in such a foul mood? Do not tell me that you have already started missing your wife!" the words came out a bit sharper than intended. 

She did not want to sound like a jealous woman but she could not help it.

Finally the man raised a brow and paid her attention, " there is nothing like that. But I did not talk much to a stranger!" a blooming smile formed on her lips when she heard the first part of the sentence that she even brushed off the part where he had called her stranger.

"Then, why don't we talk! That way, we will not be strangers anymore!" Her chirpy retort made his eyes gleam but he did not reply further as he was sure that she could find a proper retort to it too.

He twirled her like he had twirled Hazel that Eli chuckled as if she had been having an internal joke. His brow were raised again instinctively, but he did not ask her anything,

"And here I thought that this step was exclusively for your wife. Who knew that you enjoy twirling girls in your arms!" she replied with a chuckle as she shook her head and he sighed.

He was right that he should not have asked her why she was laughing.

"The dance partners took turns and each time the song changed, you would have a new partner in your arms. But when it ends again, your old partner will return. 

That is how the dances are organized here!" She did not know what else she could talk to a cold man like him so she mumbled random things to keep the conversation going on. 

She did not know why a few men treated words like gold. But she wanted to know more about him, for that she needed to force him to open his mouth.

"But the way you dance is different from us. Come to think of it, I have never seen you here in the past too but my brother respects you way too much.

That made me wonder who you are and where you came from." he looked deep into her eyes and her breath hitched.

She felt like he was sucking her soul by looking that keenly at her.

Her hands turned stiff and her body turned rigid as she continued to hold him tightly and she held her breath when he opened his thin lips, 

"And here I thought that you were a wise lady? Asking me those questions whose answers you know very well, if i did not know any better i would have thought that you are interested in me!" he said bluntly with a smirk on his face.

He was sure that his words were enough to make her embarrassed. After all, she is one of the higher nobles. And the woman in their empire did not speak freely or act on impulse.

He did not know why but her every word was having a deep effect on him. So, it would be better that he would get rid of her sooner.

"Oh! What if I am?" she bit her lips as she looked straight into his eyes with sincerity that caught him completely off guard. 

He was not expecting her to accept that she was interested in him even if she was! Should she not have been acting shy or demurred!

He looked at her blankly for a second before chuckling and shaking her head.

"You should be more aware of the words you use for a stranger. Or are you forgetting that you are dancing in my reception only!" He reminded both of them that, for the world, he was already a married man. And so as for the strong lady in his arms.

She should not take steps that she could not retreat back so easily.

But even when he warned her, there was no fear in her eyes. In fact, her eyes had a glint that he could not understand.

"I know that I am in the reception of your marriage and I even respect your choice of partner. But that did not mean that I did not have the right to feel any emotions!" she replied in a bold voice and his eyes flickered.

As he was the alpha from a young age, no one has ever talked to him so boldly and expressed her feelings for him. She was looking straight into his eyes without even blinking that he did not know what to conclude from it.

Just when he parted his lips and about to say something, she chuckled, 

"I was just teasing you. You do not have to be so serious about it. You were looking so serious and rigid that I wanted to see how you would look when you are flustered.

But I think I have crossed my limits. I apologize to you my lord!" she bowed her head and then looked into his eyes who was staring at her with a whirlpool in his eyes.

Though his face was calm, there was a storm brewing in, in those dark eyes that would be enough to sweep her away. She could feel it but she was not ready for it! Not yet!

"I will wait for you to visit the palace, my lord.. Till then have a good time!" she smiled as the song changed and she tended to leave his arms.
