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

He reminded the man again but he was beyond the rationale of listening. He wanted to kill everyone around them. Another punch landed straight on the face of Richard as he spat in full anger as if he wanted to kill him with his words too

"How did you even let that happen? How did she end up injured when you were the one protecting her? Or did it mean that you have forgotten the promise you have made to me?" The wolf frowned as he raised his hands again but this time Richard stopped him.

"You are forgetting that I am not her mate! You asked me to marry him. Even when you knew that I am not her mate! I agreed to you out of respect but now that you are blaming me for her condition, i want to remind you she was the one who denied me from marking her.

Without a mark, I could not know if she is in trouble. I have even given her daisy to protect her. But she asked the wolf to leave her alone.

If she would not take the step towards us, we can not do anything about it!" Even though he was furious about what happened, he did not have any way to know about it. How was he supposed to stop it?

"So now you are even making excuses!? To think that an alpha would make excuses when he would not be able to keep his pack safe! 

The older alpha was right to choose Alex before you!" spat the man with red eyes. 

His eyes were only seeing the blood, his blood that was in pain while he could not do anything about it.

But his words were like a sharp dagger stabbing where it hurts most.

"Ha! If you think so then why don't you go and ask Alex to protect her? 

Why did you come to me and asked me for help? Or more why don't you protect her yourself?

You are not only lying to her, to me, to others but even to yourself. 

Do you think I would have enough excuses to arrange a meeting with her every time or do you think she would forgive you if she knew the truth later?" he snarled as his wolf came on the edge and glared at the wolf who was trying to overtake him.

"You are not the one to give me a lecture about it!" growled the wolf and Richard did the same.

"Then you better not tell me if I was a good alpha or not!" he retired as he punched the man back who fell on the floor as he was not expecting the attack.

"Hahahaha. Hahaha!! Why did I even think that you would be the right one?" he shook his head as he stood up and dusted his clothes.

Looking fiercely at Richard, he added,

"I will tell her the truth when I feel that she is ready to accept it! For now you better fulfill your promise or I will wage a war against the whole clan!" with that he ignored the presence of the alpha completely and sat beside the girl who was still sleeping soundly.

Her face had turned pale and it looked like she had suffered a trauma as her body was too hot.

There were several small injury marks all over her body whose blood had dried already. She was looking frail and weak at that posture.

The man sighed as he looked at her. He knew that this was not the first time she had suffered yet he felt it was his mistake.

When he did not know about his existence, then he never cared about anyone else except him but since he had seen her, he knew that he would never be able to live his old life before.

He had to protect her or he would never be able to forgive himself. He shook his head when the thought crossed his mind and closed his eyes and took another deep breath.

"I am sorry honey. I am sorry for always being late!" the words came out in a biter voice as he looked at the sleeping girl with a wry smile. 

With hesitated hands, he touched her head and stroked her hair as if she was afraid that a minor pressure would injure her. But before he could continue, the girl that was sleeping so soundly shrieked, 

"Aahhh" 

Her eyes snapped open and she sat abruptly in her place. Her face covered with cold sweat as she looked around with worried eyes.

"He is injured! He is in pain!" she shuffled the blankets covering her hastily as she tried to stand up but only stumbled in the process.

Richard ran to her and held her in his arms as he looked at her with worried face,

"Who is injured! What are you talking about?" even his voice turned grave as the strange thought started to fill his mind. A dark ray of light passed his eyes when the thought occurred but he shook his head and concentrated on the girl first.

"Did you see a nightmare, sister in law?" asked the man standing on the edge of the bed while looking at her with weird eyes.

Hazel turned her head and found Ronald sitting there. When she sat up, she did not notice his presence at all. But she did not have the time to greet him or talk to him.

Her worried eyes turned to look at Richard as tears started to form in her eyes!

"He.. he needs our help! Let us go!" she muttered again as she looked at the man with a pleading gaze.

She herself did not know what she was talking about and how did she know that.

But she was sure that if she wasted any more time, it would be too late.

"Hazel! Calm down and tell me clearly! Who is injured and where did we need to go?" Richard held her both shoulders and jerked them a bit to bring the girl back to her senses.

Ranold glared at Richard as his hands clenched into a tight fist again but he took a deep breath and controlled his anger.

Taking the glass from the bedside, he walked towards the girl and passed her the water.

"Here, drink some water and take a deep breath, sister in law. We will only be able to help if we would be able to understand you!

Perhaps you have some nightmare!" he added in a low voice as he did not want to agitate the girl further who was looking like she would have a panic attack.

Hazel wanted to listen to them., but her chest was paining too much as if a hole had been created there. She felt like she would die from the pain and she had lost everything in her life. She had not felt like that ever! Even when she was about to die or had died in her past life.

It felt like her soul had been crushed. But she could not explain it. She held her chest from her hands instinctively and shook her head.

She didn't know much! All she could feel was the face of Alex and a feeling that he was in danger.

She did not even know if that was his real name! Or her feelings were true or just as they said, she had a nightmare but she did not want to take the risk. For she had a feeling, if she would lose him, she would lose everything.

"What are you talking about hazel! I trust you! Just tell me what you are feeling?" Just when she thought that she had lost it and turned crazy, Richard looked at her with eyes full of trust.

He assured her that he would be there for her no matter what she said or asked for.

She felt a bit better with his assurance and with trembling hands, she took the glass of water and drank in a single gulp, 

"I do not know.,. But it feels like I am losing everything I ever had and if I did not stop, I would die. The pain is too much to bear!" she winced as she said so but Richard was still standing there calmly as if he had expected that she would say so. While the eyes of Ronald widened.

He knew what it meant very well..

"And can you see the face of a man?" he asked abruptly, not giving her any chance to continue her words.

The girl turned to looked at her with furrowed brows as how he knew about that but nodded her head unconsciously.,

"Yes! I can see the arctic wolf I have seen before. And … and I think that he is Alex.

I do not know why I felt this way but I think he is in danger and if we did not help him, it would be too late!"
