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

Chapter 54 - I Was Joking?

Richard looked at the face of hazel that was much more relaxed than before. She was even smiling warmly with her eyes yet he did not understand why she had not even once considered marrying him?

He was one of the most sought after bachelors! Did she not find him attractive enough or she did not want to marry someone who was a beast? The question swirled in his mind like a hurricane. Her eyes were trying to pierce her soul, yet there was not a single line of worry on her forehead as if she had nothing to hide.

But then her voice turned stern as she asked him, "Is that the reason you want to marry me?" her voice was telling if you said yes, i would kill you! Which made him feel amused.

She was the first to threaten him in both human and beast form.

He still remembered how she had shouted at him to stay put when he had shown her his claws. That time he did not trust her but now!! She is the one whom he trusted the most.

The thought was enough to dissipate his cold glare and his eyes turned warmer.

"Yes! This is one of the reasons!" he coolly replied without giving any explanation about other reasons. She continued to look at him with curiosity only to sigh in the end.

"If that is the reason then you should not think so much. I have not saved your life to gain a favor but if you still want to return the favor then you are forgetting that you have saved my life too! 

Now our debts are equal. It even gives me a relief that I did not owe you anything. Phew'' she wiped the imaginary sweat from her forehead and smiled brightly.

"Now that we are done with debt thingy, i want to go back to my palace and see what excuse they had made of my absence." Though she had to agree that his offer was tempting and she had nothing to lose, she did not want to take advantage of his goodwill.

"So, are you still denying my offer? Huh?" his tone had turned cold and so did his eyes. She felt a tinge to guilt and looked away to hide her embarrassment. 

"If you think that I am doing you a favor on you, then you are wrong." His words made her turn to look back at him when he continued, "every wolf had a mate whom they found at their coming of age ceremony. They mark him and start a new blissful life with them. But in my case, it had been more than three years since I had my coming of age ceremony. But I am not able to find my mate.

Many speculated that i am going to mark a younger wolf, that was why i had not found one since now. A few speculate that my mate is not a wolf but a vampire or a human that is why I am not able to find her! 

But I did not care, I never believed in love anyway. I have a pack to run that is my responsibility. But their pressure is too much, my mother is going crazy to find a mate for me and a lot of girls are getting arranged to meet me daily.

Marrying you is better since you are not demanding and in exchange, you will get the revenge you desired!" His tone was devoid of any emotions and his eyes were only filled with a bit of annoyance when he talked about it.

He waited for a response but she did not give any! When the silence ensued for a long time then he had expected, he turned to look at her. Her face was filled with surprise, her mouth had turned agape and when his eyes met hers, she blinked and he frowned. 

"Pfffftttt" she laughed hard as she held her stomach even when she felt cramps in her stomach while he gritted his teeth.

"Are you making fun of me, little girl?" his tone was filled with bloodlust. His cold eyes were filled with a shine of thirst for blood as he bore holes in her body through his eyes.

She felt shivering and had to rub her arms to feel better. What a demonic angel he was! She mused as she looked at the raging man.

"No no! I am just amused that even a man of your caliber had to face the terror of his mother to get married." she started to laugh again when she uttered those words.

He squinted his eyes at her face. Why was she not afraid of him like others. Could she not feel his aura that was enough to leave even the mythical beasts trembling yet she was laughing like a fool even after being a human.

The soft glow of evening was falling on her face from the wonder as the little girl started to laugh. Her rosy cheeks were glowing with the twilight while her hair flew a bit with the breeze.

She was looking like a girl coming straight out of painting. His eyes flickered a ray of light but before she could open her eyes and look at him, his eyes turned tranquil again.

"Is it a yes or no?" he asked when she finally stopped laughing and even coughed to clear her throat.

"Hmm, so let me just rephrase it! You want me to be your fake mate to get rid of the pressure of marriage and in exchange you will help me in taking my revenge?" her face finally turned serious as she looked at him and he nodded without even a bit of hesitation.

"What if you find a mate in the future or I will be done with my revenge?" she asked as she wanted to be clear of the mess she was entering in.. what if his mate comes forward in a week or a month. Where would she stand in his life then?
