Nolan continued to watch her without a word. He took his time, to observe her, to check if Xavier had sexually touched her.

"Why did you let him into your room?" he asked her.

Sylvia had no reply to give to him, so she remained silent with her gaze glued to the floor. He was no one to demand answers or explanations from her.

"Did you not hear my question?" he asked, as he boiled in rage.

"He had no ill intentions," Sylvia bluntly replied, waiting to attack him with harsh replies, to his questions.

He took two more steps, feeling the little space he had left earlier. "What did you come into her room to do?" he asked.

"I just wanted to check up on her. While we were discussing, something like a broken bottle accidentally pricked her finger, so I was only trying to help her get it away until you got in."

"Hmmm," Nolan released a sigh.

"If truly this is the case, then please can the two of you please explain to me where on earth the glass came out from?" he demanded, looking suspiciously at them.

"We have no idea!" the two of them said in unison.

Their reply felt like a gang-up to Nolan. He wasn't ready to believe whatever they had to say, especially after recalling what the girl that claimed to be Xavier's mate had told him a day before.

To make sure that something of that sort never repeated itself, he decided only a befitting punishment would solve the problem.

Without letting them know what he had in mind or his next move, Nolan forcefully pushed Xavier aside and grabbed hold of Sylvia by her elbow.

"Do not leave this room," he directly said to Xavier.

"A befitting punishment for your disrespect is on its way," he added. Then he turned and violently dragged Sylvia with him.

As he dragged her away, he dragged the attention of the other pack members. Most of them were very happy watching the scene.

Of course, they still saw Sylvia as their rival, even though she was now living with them as their alpha woman.

From the look of things, they had already concluded within themselves that she had angered the alpha and therefore he was going to send her out of the pack house.

"Stop dragging me like I am a log of wood," Sylvia whispered to him.

She seemed mortified. Even though he was usually ruthless to her, he hardly treated her awfully in public. Sylvia supposed it was because of his position as he wouldn't want anyone to disrespect him.

Nolan turned his eyes to her, with a very scary expression on his face.

. "Please," she begged. "People are watching," she added, looking around.

"You don't have to be embarrassed or anything. From the look of things, I think they are extremely happy to see you this way," he voiced out while still dragging her.

"Try to be considerate for once. My pack members will feel very sad to see me in such a miserable state," she spoke, trying to verbally get him to think with mercy.

"You brought this upon yourself. Not having fear for me by bringing another man into your room. A total stranger, whom I am sure you know nothing about."

"Why does it bother you? You only wanted me as your sex slave and I'm fulfilling your wish. So please can you stop acting like you are suddenly concerned about my well-being?" she snorted at him out of annoyance.

Nolan stopped walking. He gave her a scornful look. "I can never be concerned about you or your well-being. The only problem is that I hate to share my properties."

Sylvia's jaw dropped.

What in the world had she landed herself into????
