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

"Hazel!" he called the girl that was looking like she had been given death punishment and she turned to look at him with confusion, 

"Are you afraid that I will find my Luna one day?" he asked as this was the only reason he could think of her turning silent.

It would be a lie, if she said that she had never thought about it but that was the reason that she was so scared just a while ago.

"That and I am afraid my mate will come one day too!"

The night was sleepless for Richard as he continued to think what she was saying.

Mate! The words were too pious for every wolf, so as for him. At the age of 16-20 everyone finds their mate. When he had crossed 16 but did not find his mate, he had thought his mate would come late, but when he even crossed 20 but he did not find his mate, everyone turned anxious and sent him to go to other packs and find one but his mate was nowhere.

He had never asked any other wolf to ever be his mate because he was afraid that they would find their mate one day and then their relationship would be awkward.

He did not want any girl to suffer the pain of not being able to get united by their mate because of him.

That was why when he met Hazel, he thought that she would be his mate. She was smart and stubborn and with some training she would be strong too.

But he never thought that she could be a mate of someone else too. 

Her words tonight confused her! It might be that she was just talking baselessly!

He let that thought go and turned to look at her. The silver glow from the window was falling on her face and she was looking beautiful. The soft tendrils were dancing on her fair face that was creating a frown on her face.

He stood up ready to tuck them behind her ears. With that thought, he smiled and walked towards her bed where she was sleeping without a care in the world.

But before he could move his hands and touch her face, she turned and rubbed her face and got rid of the scattered hair by herself.

Only then did he realise how foolishly he was behaving!.

Shaking his head he jumped from the window and when his body fell on the floor it had already changed his form.

He needed some fresh air to sort out his thoughts, and with that thought, he ran away in the woods.

—

When the rays of morning started dancing on her hair, her lashes finally fluttered and after a few seconds, she opened her eyes.

The room was cold and empty without the presence of Richard by his side. A frown formed on her lips as she was not sure if he was still angry with her!

Pursuing her lips, she stood up from the bed and soon the maids came to help her.

"My lady, everyone is waiting for you for breakfast!" 

She nodded her head and then pressured her lips as she asked after a pause, 

"Have you seen Richard?" 

Then maids shook their heads and she sighed. She should have talked more about it. But when he said that he did not want to discuss the matter further as he did not mind giving her more time, she had thought that he had accepted her decision.

With a deep sigh and heavy mind, she dragged her body towards the washroom followed by the maids.

All the time a lot of crazy thoughts started running in her mind as she continued to think of the possibilities but in the end, she was not able to understand him.

Once dressed up in luxurious clothing, she walked towards the stairs looking all over the hall.

"Hazel! You are finally here!" his father beamed while looking at her as if she had been their favorite daughter since the start. The act was so exaggerated that she rolled her eyes.

"You took so long to come sister, the breakfast had turned cold!" muttered Amelia as she looked at the plates in front of her.

That was when Hazel noted that they all were waiting for her to come so that they would start eating.

The girl who was not even asked for a meal in the past even if it had been days was offered to have first meal before anyone else that was only offered to the master of the house.

Her eyes felt with disdain as the turn of events was only because she was in power now.

"Hmm, I am a newly married girl, Amelia. To think that I sleep late, of course, I will wake up late. 

I thought that you could understand it!" she raised a brow and the face of Amelia instantly turned cold and pale.

She had never thought that Amelia would challenge her publicly. What else did she know? How did she know so much!?

Or was she just passing a sarcastic comment? Amelia was so confused that she did not know how to reply to the statement and she could only bite her lips in reply.

Even George frowned when he heard the comment, 

"How would Amelia know! She is just a young girl that still has to taste married life?" he protected his daughter, earning a chuckle from Hazel who just shook her head but said nothing as if she was enjoying her personal joke!

"Anyway, have you thought about when you would visit the palace?" asked George as he did not want to waste his time in foolish conversation. He still had to send the papers of the contracts and tenders to the palace but he was not sure if he would be welcomed there after all, he did not get time to fix a meeting with your highness last night.

Due to so many gifts and other nobles flattering him, he was afraid that the crown prince would pass a sarcastic comment or would say anything that would humiliate him in front of everyone.
