Lydia Richmond's POVAs Beatrice fell, I went ahead and sat on her. I punched her hard on her face until she began to cry for help. I was tired of holding back and as I remained all that had happened between us from years back, I took it out on her. “Help!” Beatrice cried but I punched her harder. She had to surrender to me now. I could hear some footsteps running towards us in the room. Quickly, I locked the door. Beatrice had stood up and her nose was bleeding. I could see blisters on her mouth as well.But I wasn't finished with her. I dived towards her and my head hit her stomach. She fell haphazardly on the bed and cried even more.“Please, Lydia!” Beatrice begged. “I will never try this again. Not in this world or the next!” As she begged me with her bleeding nose, I took pity on her. I gave her a farewell slap before leaving her. I went to the door and opened it for the guards to rush in. Some maids ran inside as well. The maids helped Beatrice out instantly and I could te
Lydia Richmond's POV I knew Alpha Quinn didn't like this at all. It seemed that I had forgotten the true Alpha Quinn. He was usually ruthless and I could only hope that he wasn't back to his previous self.I had to tread cautiously and carefully or else, I would get hurt. I needed no one to tell me this fact.“I wasn't the one who started it,” I began to explain. “If you heard from the maids, the fight happened in this room. It simply means that she trespassed. I won't go to her room and beat her up!”“Firstly, she didn't trespass,” Alpha Quinn told me carefully. “She is my rightful mate and the Luna of this Pack and this is my room. She could choose to come in at anytime. If you didn't want to be disturbed, you could have closed the door!”I sighed. I was finally getting to understand what Kayla was trying to say. No matter how Alpha Quinn acted like he loved me, he still had Beatrice in his mind. I was thoroughly jealous and I felt like I was being used.Perhaps, I was being used.
Lydia Richmond's POV“I won't let that happen!” Alpha Quinn exclaimed. “As long as I am still here, you will be in my room and serve me!”“I don't think I should serve you. It's not among my responsibilities!” I told him sternly.“Why won't you do that?” Alpha Quinn wanted to know. He didn't know that I would be using all what he had said against him.“Like you rightly said, I am not your mate. Beatrice is your rightful mate and she will gladly grace your bed every night. You can count me out of this. I am a breeder and I have given birth to triplets for you. You can release me from service now and I will go and start a new life. You can have the kids and I will go back to a different man who would love and cherish me!”I didn't mean half of what I said there. It made me realize that it was really risky. I could have gotten into serious trouble if he had accepted. How could I bear to leave my kids in the hands of Beatrice who could poison them to death.I didn't get into trouble thoug
Lydia Richmond's POVLater on, I went to see Beatrice in the clinic room where she laid. I didn't let anyone know about this especially Alpha Quinn. We just settled a fight and if there was something we didn't need at the moment, it had to be another misunderstanding.I told Kayla to distract the guards and she did this successfully. I was able to enter the room without any interference or stoppage.As Beatrice sighted me, I could see her shocking expression. It was obvious that she wasn't expecting my invasion. No one would expect me to visit her.Well, I didn't visit. I actually intruded.“What are you doing here?” Beatrice asked angrily. She sat up instantly and gazed at me intently.“I am here to have a chitchat with you, Beatrice,” I told her solemnly. “It wouldn't be too bad for us to continue our previous conversation. It would make things more interesting.”“What previous discussion are you talking about?” Beatrice asked half-heartedly. Barely looking at her, I could tell that
Lydia Richmond's POV“Tell me the truth. It's not Morgan, is it?” I asked slowly. Beatrice wanted to reply but I could hear a knock on the door. Right after, Kayla walked in.“It's time to leave!” Kayla told me. “The guards are currently approaching and now is the best time to leave without a trace.” I looked at Beatrice and shook my head. Slowly, I left the room with Kayla. We had to escape very fast so we won't be caught by the guards.“Did you get anything from the questioning?” Kayla asked on our way back to my villa.“It wasn't exactly a questioning, was it? Nevertheless, I found out one or two things that could be relevant in the future!” I told her simply.“What?” Kayla asked slowly.I didn't want to share this at first but I knew I had to. Kayla was actually my ally now.“You were right!” I exclaimed. “Beatrice is not innocent! She has something to do with the kidnapping but I don't know why Morgan is taking the bash for her. It could be a joint effort but I can't be too sure
Lydia Richmond's POVLiterally, this was another form of telling me that Dan would die. He had only twelve hours to live if he wasn't given an antidote but the antidote could only be gotten in Mount Lai which was a six days journey.I staggered. I thought I was going to die at this point. It was painful that my kid was going to die right in front of me. This was a helpless situation that I couldn't get out from. I broke down and began to cry. Now, this was uncontrollable. I was indisposed and restless. “You need to keep it calm, my lady,” Kayla told me slowly. “You still have Ken and Ben to take care of. If you die because of this, who would take care of the remaining?” I took in this words. It penetrated my heart and reminded me that I still had other things that was necessary. I held Lauren's shoulder. He had a sad expression as well. Surely, he also didn't like what would happen to Dan.“Is there another means to solve this? Can Dan be saved? Tell me, Lauren. I would do it even
Quinn Magenta's POVMy emotions swayed at this point but I fury and anger ruled. I had Lauren against the wall. He was pleading with me but I could hear nothing. If Dan would die, he should be ready to die with her as well.As the Alpha of the Pack, I had visited Mount Lai several times and I knew how far the journey was. It was a six days journey and this was going by the fastest horse and not taking more than two hours rest in a day. It wasn't an easy journey and obviously, I couldn't get help in time. “How long does he have left?” I asked slowly. I was trying to put my emotions in check but I still had my hands around his neck. I could strangle him if he said something annoying. “About eleven hours, my Lord…” Lauren replied fearfully.As I heard this, I couldn't control my feelings. I strangled him and I saw him writh in pain. I didn't care about anything at this point. Then I felt a hand on my chest. It was relaxing and gradually, I left Lauren. He fell while gripping his neck
Quinn Magenta's POV“I have some plugs at hand whom I know would do a diligent job here,” Jojo told me carefully. “They are drug peddlers but of course, they sell poisons and antidotes.”As I heard this, I was quite shocked. I didn't know how he knew people like that. He had to be a part of them.“But drug peddlers have been banned in this Pack!” I told him coldly. “I thought all of them have been eradicated. They should have gone to a different pack!” Jojo smiled.“You did your best in chasing all of them out of this Pack but there is a particular peddling group that are around this Pack. Infact, they specialize in poisons and antidotes,” Jojo explained further.“How did you get to know them?” I asked slowly. I wanted him to define his relationship with such a group.“I will tell you later, my Lord,” Jojo proposed. “I think you should work on getting an antidote from them before any other thing.” “No!” I insisted. “You still need to tell me how you got to know them. It's quite stra
