11.

Without looking, Xavier knew it was the Alpha. He immediately disentangled from the hug and reluctantly left Sylvia's hands.

Then, he headed towards the entrance of the kitchen. He looked reluctant to leave but he didn't dare to question the alpha. When he got closer to where Nolan stood, the latter blocked his way.

"Alpha." He bowed respectfully.

"Do not dare me..." Nolan began, his gaze harsh and cold as he stared at Xavier. He seemed very displeased.

"She's my property. My toy. So stay away from her. You don't want to share toys with your Alpha do you?" Nolan questioned staring directly into Xavier's eyes.

Xavier clenched his fists. He seemed to be about to retort. But in the end, he simply wavered and bowed.

"I don't. Got it, Alpha."

Xavier left the kitchen.

Sylvia turned back to what she was doing without acknowledging Nolan's presence. She got about what she was doing as if no one was there at all.

And it angered Nolan to the point of information. He had never been treated as air like that before.

"What are you doing?! Didn't you see me?!" He thundered.

He was in a foul mood. He couldn't explain what just happened. When he saw Sylvia in Xavier's embrace, his heart had been run over by a truck. It felt tight and stuffy.

And he felt jealous. So jealous that he wanted to rip both of them apart.

Sylvia's unique scent filled the kitchen and when she didn't respond, he walked over to her and gripped her by the shoulders. He shook her violently making Sylvia dizzy.

"S...stop ...I ...I'm sorry.." Sylvia was feeling pain from the rough handling.

"Is that your decision to make?" He sneered at her statement.

Didn't she like it when Xavier hugged her just now? But she was telling him to stop touching her now. Was he that disgusting? Why couldn't she be more tolerant of him? If she was, he would...

Anyway, she was stupid. He felt she was very stupid.

"Listen to me, Sylvia. As long as I continue fucking you, you are not allowed to have any contact with any member of this pack. You are not even allowed to smile at them. You know the consequences if you disobey me." Nolan spat at her face derisively. He pushed her to the floor and left the kitchen.

Sylvia forced herself up and sat on the floor. She was making progress, wasn't she?

He was jealous right now.

She didn't care if it was because she was his sex toy or not. All she needed was to be able to lower his defenses and get what she wanted.

"The progress is slow. It's getting to six months now. How can I help my pack in this manner?" She massaged her temple.

Her whole body was sore. Last night's intense activity or rather torture took a toll on her. What she needed at that moment was a soak in a hot bath.

She needed to soothe her tensed muscles.

Suffering...

She was suffering...

She hurriedly rose. If she didn't want to get disgraced by the guests, she had better start preparing.

She wondered what the guests would say about her.

An alpha who abandoned her duties and came to stay with another pack. She was sure that was what they would say.

How were they to know that it was for a reason?

She couldn't be bothered about it anyways. She knew the pack members wouldn't let her off. Of course, this was an ideal opportunity to humiliate her.

Would they let go of it???

No way.

>>>>

It was nighttime. The guests had arrived. They were fifteen in number. They were welcomed warmly by the members of the Peak Ocean Pack.

They were led by their alpha, Derek, and his Luna, Laurencia.

"Alpha Nolan, it has been a while you know..." Derek commented as he shook Nolan's hand warmly.

"I guess so.." Nolan gave a short reply.

"So if I hadn't suggested a dinner with your pack, you wouldn't have visited our pack? That's a betrayal of our friendship." Alpha Derek laughed heartily.

The two Alphas were close friends. They understood each other and there wasn't any case of disagreement between them.

Nolan urged, "Let's go on to the dining table." His gaze stopped on Laurencia and he commented, "By the way, your Luna keeps getting beautiful each day."

Laurencia smiled. "Hey, Nolan. You guys were having a discussion. I didn't want to interrupt."

"You are all welcome to the pack." Nolan led them to the dining table.

He was in a good mood. He just finished having sex with Sylvia. This time, he left a lot of hickeys on her body. To remind everyone that she was his. And to remind her especially, that she could only be his.

Everyone sat down at the dining table and began helping themselves to the dishes in front of them.

"I heard the alpha of the Blue Moon pack is here?" Luna Laurencia started up a conversation. She was curious; why would an alpha leave her pack?

"That's true.." Nolan smiled.

"Then where is she? Why isn't she here?" Alpha Derek looked around the pack house. There was no trace of Sylvia to be seen.

She was rumored to be a rare kind of beauty. Becoming an alpha at the age of twenty-one created doubts about her competence. Was she fit to lead a whole pack?

"Sylvia!!!"
