(Lydia Richmond's POV)"We have a deal, Alpha Quinn. Seven big bags of gold and you have her to yourself forever…" I heard my father, Charlie Richmond, say.It broke my heart. At that moment, I knew it couldn't be amended. It was already decided. My biological father was about to give me to the cruel Alpha Quinn for seven bags of gold. It was quite a fortune but I had never imagined that seven bags of gold equaled my very existence. It hit me as odd."Deal!" Alpha Quinn replied. "The seven bags of gold would be provided. The deal is good as sealed."My father smiled slowly. He was enjoying the happenings around him. He looked towards me and met my eyes piercing him. His facial expression changed instantly but he managed to look away before his conscience began to prick him. He looked towards Alpha Quinn again and smiled.That was a day I could never forget. It was one of the saddest moments in my lifetime.Exchanging me for seven bags of gold? Very remarkable!************************
(Lydia Richmond's POV)It all began to get more interesting when Beatrice Baker, Alpha Quinn's lover, got back from the neighboring pack where she went for sightseeing.The moment she learnt my mission in the pack, she almost vomited fire. This time, I was more calm and composed as I had learnt my lesson not to be rude and carefree to any superior person. Alpha Quinn had taught me that lesson."What! A breeder is in the mansion!" Beatrice shouted from the living hall. I could hear her voice from my room. I shook in fear and anticipation of the worst. I had learnt that Beatrice was not the typical peacemaker. One of the maids had told Beatrice that a breeder was in the mansion. This was against Quinn's plan to disclose the news to Beatrice by himself."Where is the bitch? Tell me now or else I will break your head with the vase!" I could hear Beatrice continue to rant.I didn't hear the maid's reply but I could tell that their next line of action would be to come looking for me. I nee
(Lydia Richmond's POV)Three months after I was brought into the Alpha's mansion as a breeder, I got pregnant. It all started when I began to vomit early in the morning. This was a common symptom for pregnancy.My personal maid reported to Alpha Quinn and in no time, Alpha Quinn got there. He had me go through a thorough check by the doctors in the mansion. As expected, the results came out that I was eight weeks pregnant. That meant that Alpha Quinn's first semen that he spilled inside my pussy was productive.Alpha Quinn had me isolated now. He assigned more maids to me and Beatrice had no direct contact to me. Alpha Quinn wasn't doing this to protect me. It was all because of the kids I was going to bear for him.Before I got pregnant, Beatrice had always bullied me. She would have the maids stop their work and hand it over to me. There was nothing I wouldn't do. I would do the dishes, wash the clothes, fetch water from the faraway river, massage Beatrice anytime her body hurt, an
(Lydia Richmond's POV)I escaped from Kingsford pack to Fireball pack. It was not easy but I managed to hack it up.Making a successful escape as a pregnant woman wasn't easy for me. Moving myself was the real deal. The fact that I was a pregnant woman hastened the process for me. I had one thousand and one excuses to go outside the mansion. The guards at the front gate allowed me to leave but with eight guards following me. I found a way to ditch my personal maid on the way. I had only eight male guards with me.On the way, I lied to the guards that I had a pee urgently. Of course, they couldn't follow me because we were different genders. I entered the bush and from there, I escaped without letting them know.The rest was history.I knew the guards would have tried looking for me but I was smarter. I ran as fast as my legs could carry and escaped. It was a long journey for me but I persevered. I finally got to Fireball pack in the evening. Prior to my expectations, the pack was secu
(Lydia Richmond's POV)I looked coldly at the man in front of me. There was nothing I could do but gaze at him. He was tall, slim, handsome, but with a babyish look. I was still kneeling down with other arrested people all around."What were they caught doing?" The man asked. He was looking at everyone of us intensely.One of the soldiers came outside in the center and bowed to the man. He wanted to tell him where we were caught. This seemed too much of an obsession for me."Lord Stone Sumach, these set of people were caught passing a secret path leading to the Pack even after your father, the Alpha has commanded that we aren't going to entertain any more strangers. This is a crime, my Lord, and it is one that must be dealt with thoroughly…" the soldier said, bowed again, and went back to his position.The soldier's words had been so enlightening for me. I could understand about three important things just by the words he spoke. Firstly, the man's name was Stone Sumach and he was bei
(Sharon Timberlake's POV)It was all tense but I was feeling cold. I was having two opposite feelings simultaneously."I don't care about if she is pregnant or not!" Stone Sumach shouted at the soldier. "A criminal is a criminal and a prisoner is also a prisoner. It doesn't matter the issues involved. You will do what I want, wouldn't you?"The soldier was aware that Lord Stone Sumach was annoyed. He got down with one knee to the ground and bowed."I am sorry if that annoyed you, Lord…" the soldier apologized. "And yes, I will do all what you ask me to do. I would never go against your order. You can trust me."I simply watched the scene. I was already imagining what life would be for me without food. I would probably lose consciousness if it became too much. I began to imagine that no one found out that I had fainted and before anyone saw me, I had died. I was long lost in this thinking until I heard someone's voice. I had to snap out of it."Good!" Stone Sumach noted now. "I do not
(Lydia Richmond's POV) The warder looked at me in shock. He was probably not expecting this. I waited for his answer patiently."I don't think that would be possible…" the warder began carefully. He was looking around to confirm if there was someone hearing us. He confirmed that there wasn't anyone and he continued talking. "You see, I can't help you escape. I would have loved to because of your current condition but I am sorry, I really won't be able to help you. I have to leave!""Please!" I called him back. "Just help me. I will give whatever afterwards. I don't really want to go through all these. It's a painful experience from what I have heard from you so far. Please, help me. I will be grateful to you for ever.""It isn't in my position!" The warder shouted at me. "Do you want to get me killed? Listen up, I am here to make sure you go nowhere. I am not here to protect you, I am here to make sure you do not get away from here. If you move from here, I will get killed. Now, yo
(Lydia Richmond's POV) The man was one of the soldiers of Lord Stone Sumach. In fact, I knew him more since he was among the soldiers in the front. He was the same soldier who took Stone Sumach's words and implemented it. This soldier had been the one who asked Stone Sumach to pardon me because I was pregnant. I guess he had decided to come to help me because Stone Sumach didn't accept his advice."My name is Jake and I am among the Alpha's soldiers. Do you know me?" He asked now.I knew him but I decided not to tell him this. I was quite unsure of what he would when he heard the truth. I decided to deny this."I do not know you…" I told him. "But I am really grateful to you for saving me. Thank you so much.""It's nothing!" Jake said. "I know you must be hungry. Let me make something quick for you. I need to go back to the mansion in the next one hour. Failure to do this might make others think that I was the one who saved you. I wouldn't want to be a primary suspect.""I understa
Lydia Richmond’s POVFrom the facial expressions on the soldiers’ faces, I knew I had triggered them to take a bold step. They exchanged glances and I knew what they needed. They seemed to trust me now and I had more to say to solidify these trust.“I believe you can still come together to build this pack. Leave the traitor and cleave to your Alpha. If you do this, I promise that things will be better!” I told them. I teared up now and this triggered the soldiers more.“Don’t believe her! If you believe her, it will be at your own peril…” Beatrice tried to convince the men. “She would do nothing good after you help her. Your generals would be arrested and executed for treason while the partial treatment for common soldiers would continue. It won’t stop and you should even get prepared to face more if you accept it here. It won’t be the same if you continue with this mission. Let’s take Alpha Quinn down and the whole pack would be at peace!”“Says a woman who is sleeping with multiple
Lydia Richmond’s POV“If we don’t come back safely, do not come looking for us!” I told Roman carefully.“No!” Wilbert shouted. “That is impossible, my lady. I will make sure that you live and while I do this, I will do it with everything I have in me. If we are imprisoned, we need to be saved. Think about this again!”I nodded.“I think you have a point!” I told Wilbert carefully. Now, I turned to Roman to give him my order. “Our mission is to take down Beatrice, Gabby, and Kayla. Beatrice and Gabby are the ringleaders and if they die, their followers won’t be able to survive for too long!”“But you mentioned three names. Why is Kayla involved if she isn’t one of the ringleaders?” Roman asked carefully.“I have a grudge to settle with her. I watched her put a sword through…” I was saying before Wilbert touched my shoulder.“Let’s leave that for another day. The lives of our men in the mansion are ticking. We need to go now!” Wilbert told me. I nodded and started to live now. At the d
Lydia Richmond’s POVI was still sitting where I was before when Wilbert ran inside. He was the lead general of the red lions and I sent him to do some tasks for me before. He had a hurtful expression and I could tell that all was not well.“There is fire on the mountain, my lady,” Wilbert told me carefully. “One of our spies has confirmed that Gabby and his people have put the triplet’s abode under close surveillance. Since Chris and his men have gone, they are literally in trouble. The mission would have started by now!”I stood up.“I will accept everything but Chris and my triplets won’t die when I can use my life in exchange for theirs!” I told Wilbert confidently. “I believe that the needed elite squad is ready?”“Sure, it is. It is a voluntary squad and all we need is their willingness to contribute to this,” Wilbert said carefully. He sounded quite convinced. “I have pulled this off already and we will do it according to what you have in mind. Do me a favour and tell me you ha
Chris’s POV“All I have to do is to get the triplets out, huh?” I asked carefully. This was a rhetorical question. “I will take some men with me and I will have them kidnapped. You should have no reason to worry because I will do what I have to do in a diligent manner.”Lady Lydia looked at me and smiled. She seemed to be comfortable with giving me this mission. Looking at her deeply, she was worried but she was trying her best not to look like what she was going through. I appreciated her perseverance as this couldn’t be pulled off by anyone. She was a very special person to be able to do something like this.“If you check the map…” Lydia replied indefinitely. “I know you would be able to find your way around. All I want you to know is the fact that the triplets are always together. The moment you find one of them, the others are not far away. They will stick together no matter what happens!”I sighed.“I know very well that the triplets would be under close watch by Lady Beatrice’s
Lydia Richmond's POV “What!” Chris shouted. “Impossible!” Wilbert shouted. “I think you need to tell us more about all that transpired between both of you!”I sighed and began to explain all that had happened before. I took it one step at a time and narrated all that happened including the fact that I was behind the poisoning of Beatrice's guests.“This is deep!” Chris exclaimed after I had told my story. “How was Jojo killed? Did you watch them do it?” Tears flowed down my cheeks. “My maid betrayed me. Her name is Kayla and when I got out of the tunnel with Jojo, she was the only one left and she had a sword. Jojo used to like her but when he blocked her from accessing me, she put a sword through him!” I gasped. “It was so deep and I could tell what would happen finally. She didn't stop there as she sent two men after me. I had to kill those men before I was free!” “The lady wasn't there? I mean she didn't chase after you!” Chris said carefully. Now, I thought about this properl
Lydia Richmond's POVAfter this was raised, I knew a lot of people would not trust me. I had to do something here or else, their minds would be polluted and I would have no clue on what had to be done. “I hate to say this but he has a point!” Wilbert told me carefully. “The only one who knows the real leader is Jojo and as it stands now, we will have to wait for him to confirm if you are the one!” I sighed. “Jojo is probably dead by now…” I said carefully. As I said this, the men exchanged glances and grabbed a hold on their swords. “I didn't say I killed him. In fact, I was kidnapped alongside him. If there is anyone affiliated with the Alpha's mansion, such a person should come outside and confirm what I am saying!” I could hear the men murmuring. I looked at Wilbert in a bid to tell him to control his men.“No noise, gentlemen!” Wilbert told them. “If you are an insider in the Alpha's mansion, please come out and confirm her story. It is essential, please!” I watched as differ
Lydia Richmond's POVI knew I couldn't bear to be too emotional here. I ran away as fast as I could. Jojo must have died by now so I had only myself. I had to get to Sansa restaurant and meet with the red lions. The medal was with me. I tied it somehow on my hair. No one could see it there. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. When I thought I was safe, I began to hear the sounds of horses coming at me. I didn't need to be told that Kayla's men were still after me. I knew they would be only two and I decided to take them out and take their horses as well. I ran into a bush and hid myself. I was waiting for them to pass by before I struck. Soon, one of them passed. I let him go free but when the next one came, I threw a stone at him. It hit him on his head and he fell. This was enough to alert the other man who rode before. I rushed to him, removed his sword and stabbed him. I got on his horse and rode to escape. As I moved, I could see the other man waiting for me. He had his s
Lydia Richmond's POV“It makes sense! I am unhappy to hear this but it actually makes a whole world of sense!” I told him carefully. “If you didn't raise this issue, I would have never imagined that this is the scheme which Beatrice is planning!”Jojo smiled. “Well, I am not on her side so I can't be sure about anything. This is what I think but it could be wrong. She says she wants to conquer the world. I don't think being an Alpha alone would conquer the whole place. Apart from our pack, there are still six other packs and the Lycan King…” Jojo raised. I thought about this and I gained a lead. “I think I know why she wants the red lions. Obviously, it's not because of our pack alone. The red lions won't revolt under her command…” I said slowly. “She wants to use them to assassinate the Alphas' and possibly the Lycan King…” Jojo said carefully. “Right!” I told him. “I know she can't do it alone without the support of some insiders in the packs but you see, it is very possible to
Jojo’s POVAt this point, I couldn’t watch this execution take place. Lydia was my lady and I was meant to protect her. I dived with the chair and pushed the guard. His sword cut my back a bit but the ropes were cut as well. It led to struggle as I fought with the guards. I had to defend myself with the chair and I was able to do much. I took the first and second guards down while I protected Lydia. By this time, I had taken a sword and I was standing down with the remaining two guards.“Are you okay? I thought I was gonna die!” Lydia told me. She was holding my shoulder with her left hand with a sword in her right hand.“I’m fine but I should be the one asking that question, right?” I replied. I never lost concentration on those guards around us. I watched their every move.One of the guards took out a whistle and blew. I knew this meant more men. I looked around for an escape route instantly. I could see a window that was made of wood. There was black tarpaulin that covered it.“Cut
