Quinn Magenta's POVI knew that Jojo would keep his word. I went my way now and he also went back to stop his uncle. I had to run as fast as I could as I didn't know how long Jojo would be able to hold Eugene.Eugene must not escape. If he did, I would die and Dan would die as well. As I rushed out to the open space, I still saw the man who gave us directions. I had no time and I had to summon my men who were in their hiding position.“Come out all of you!” I cried in a loud voice. “I need help!” My voice echoed. The man who previously gave us directions stood up and moved towards me. I could tell that he wanted to tell me to keep my mouth shut. From my dressing, he probably didn't know that I was the Alpha. At that point, I watched as two of my men came out of their hiding spot. They unsheathed their swords and ran towards us. The man stepped back and called for help.Surprisingly, the man in question was armed. I watched as he removed his own sword as well to confront my men. I tr
Quinn Magenta's POVI knew it would end like this. Eugene was right to some point but I didn't want to strike a deal with him so easily. I needed to show some resistance. It could fetch me some relevance.“I still want to know why you think you have the upper hand in this case!” I shouted at him. “You are very insensitive here, Eugene. You have lost a couple of men here due to your bad choices. If you have agreed to give me what I want in the first place, you wouldn't have lost so many men. You act like you are wise but I think you are really foolish.”“I am older than you are, my Lord…” Eugene said slowly. William was irritated by this and he placed his sword on Eugene's neck.“Do not bite more than you can chew!” William shouted at him. “The Alpha is not of the same category as you. I would advise you to watch your tongue. It's for your own benefit. If you try this again, I will behead you instantly!” Eugene smiled. “You wouldn't do that, soldier,” Eugene addressed William. “If yo
Quinn Magenta's POV“Dan is actually in a bad state, my Lord!” The guard shouted. “Dr. Lauren doesn't know if he would survive if he doesn't take an antidote within the next hour!” I was shocked. I was truly shivering and my heart was beating harder. I couldn't afford to lose little Dan. He was a young child and he didn't deserve death. I had to save him but I wasn't settled enough to carry this out. I looked towards William and then towards Jojo. Both of them were looking so worried. I had to make a choice here. Whatever decision I made would define what would happen to Dan. I needed to be careful and choose wisely. “As it should be…” Eugene said slowly. “The doctor who gave you the twelve hour timeframe knows nothing about poisons. From what I think, the boy's immune system has been shattered already by now. If you can get the antidote to him in the next thirty minutes, you could help him out a bit. If not, recovery would be a great deal. You have made the young boy suffer this m
Quinn Magenta's POVI went out to the open space to check if Gabby was coming. I could see him running with some men with him. I was boiling within because of how unprofessional Gabby had been in the past few days. He left the Pack without my consent and I had to make do with other guards. I couldn't blame him too much. He had just given me more candidates who could take over his job. In my heart, I thought about replacing him with either Jojo or William. If I would do this, it would have to be William. I liked Jojo as my personal bodyguard. But still, this was only a thought. William was miles far away from Gabby when it came to exploits and achievements. Gabby had commanded and won a lot of crucial battles which were important for the safety of the Pack. On the other hand, William was also important. He was the captain of the elite force which was the sect of the most skilled soldiers in the Pack. They were responsible for black ops missions which would require them not to show t
Quinn Magenta's POV I was dying and no one knew how I was feeling. Gabby and Jojo were so worried about me but I knew they could do nothing. In no time, Lauren came into the room to check me out.“What happened to Alpha Quinn?” Lauren asked slowly. He began to examine me now. I allowed him to do his thing but I knew he had no solution to the problem.“He was poisoned!” Jojo divluged. As soon as Lauren heard this, he moved closer to Jojo and gripped him by his shirt. “Repeat that!” Lauren challenged angrily. “Who was poisoned and who did the job? How did it happen? Alpha Quinn must not die!” “It happened at the place where we went to get Dan's antidote. There is an antidote for him and we should work on getting the antidote before it's too late!” Jojo said confidently. He sounded quite desperate here. I felt like shouting at them but I had no energy. Lauren stopped holding Jojo. He was angry about this but there was nothing he could do. He looked towards Gabby and moved closer to h
Lydia Richmond's POVWhen Lauren informed me that Dan was fine, I was the happiest woman in the world. One of the guards had came to call Lauren and this made me know that something was off. I didn't mind and instead, I went to see Dan. Kayla was with me and she was beaming with smiles. There were two nurses in the room with Dan. The first one was in her fifties while the second one would be in her thirties. I could remember seeing them around when I was still pregnant with the triplets. “Dan is sleeping but he will be fine!” The elderly nurse told me. “From what Dr. Lauren had said, he would be really hungry when he wakes up. I will advise you to have his favorite meal prepared.” I nodded at the elderly nurse and turned to Kayla. I held Kayla's hand and took her to a corner of the room where we had a little privacy. “I hope you know that some maids are busy with poison in this mansion?” I asked her carefully. This was supposed to be a rhetorical question but Kayla went ahead to r
Lydia Richmond's POV“A situation?” I stood up instantly. I was not used to hearing something like this from Kayla and this made me know that it was truly urgent.“Yes, milady,” Kayla replied. “Did you hear that the Alpha got poisoned?”Instantly, I stood up. I had been having issues about poison for that day and if there was something I didn't want right now, it had to be another case regarding poison.“How did it happen?” I asked carefully. I was so scared but I had to keep calm. If I could scale through Dan's case, I could do the same for Alpha Quinn. I didn't know many things but I knew that things would be fine at the end.“It happened when he went to get Dan's poison. He got poisoned there,” Kayla explained. This wasn't reassuring at all and one thing I have come to understand was that an antidote was needed. It was of no use to cry and wail. Instead, I had to save up the energy to find a solution.“Since we know where he got poisoned, I think we should go back there. We should
Lydia Richmond's POVBefore I took this action, I looked towards Alpha Quinn. He wasn't the man I used the know. The man I used to know rarely got sick. He was also used to making critical decisions and being so disciplined. He was very selfless and he loved to sacrifice hiself for others. I took note of all these and this gave me the indication that I needed to save him.“I will do like you advised!” I told Lauren slowly. “It's better to take an experiment with his body than to sit and wait for him to die.” “You are right, Milady, and I will do whatever you say,” Lauren replied carefully. “If you would excuse me for moment, I would like to get the nurses and start work on Alpha Quinn before it becomes too late!” “Go ahead!” I replied. Lauren took his leave and I now gazed at Alpha Quinn. I had to whisper something to him. I didn't know if heard it or not. “I will save you! No matter what it takes, I will make sure you are saved.” I wasn't the Luna but the acclaimed Luna wasn't in
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
