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
Quinn Magenta's POVJojo looked towards the man and I did the same as well. The man was a huge fellow and I had to look up to see him properly. I was tall as well but he was still taller than me. He had a hat on and this made him look mysterious. He had a black robe on with a pair of shoes that gave the ‘mafia Lord' vibe. Perhaps, he was also a Lord in this underground establishment of his. I didn't need to be told that he was the man in charge, Jojo's uncle.I tried to see if they looked alike but I could find no striking resemblance. Jojo was not as handsome as the man but then, both were heavily built. They looked tough as well.It ran in the family's blood. The man had several men behind him and they were dressed like normal workers. They had a brown shirt and shorts on. I could see that each of them had a sword in his sheath. They looked really strong as well. On a normal day, I would be scared since Jojo was the only one with me. If those men turned against us, I wouldn't esc
Quinn Magenta's POV“Is this what you brought me for?” I asked Jojo angrily. “You brought me here to be killed!”“No, I would never,” Jojo argued. He turned to his uncle now. “What did you do to him? He must not die. Get him the antidote now!”Eugene started to laugh. I never knew this would happen to me. I didn't know what to do. As time passed by, I felt weaker. I had to reach Lauren before I died.“I thought you were tough but here you are, you are not more than this!” Eugene told me. “I have you curled up in my little finger. Jeez!” “Don't do this, uncle. Give him the antidote. If he dies, I won't take it from you!” Jojo told his uncle. This was supposed to be their family matter. I couldn't believe that I was being toyed with like this. Eugene had better hope that I die because if I mistakenly survived, I will bring his organization to ruins. Eugene turned to me slowly.“I will gain nothing in killing you and for that reason alone, I will make you an offer to live,” Eugene tol
Quinn Magenta's POVI gasped. I couldn't speak because of fear. I looked at Jojo and shook my head. He had been the one who brought me into this problem.“What about the remaining two options? That is what Alpha Quinn needs right now!” Jojo called. He looked worried but I didn't believe him at all. From now, he looked like an enemy to me.Eugene seemed to like the effect he was making on me. He sat down more comfortably and looked at me.“The second option is quite flexible and you might like that…” Eugene noted. “You only have to take the potion once a month. The only sad thing about this is that you'll constantly feel weak since the poison is still active. You could be weak at certain times especially during sex and hard tasks.”“During sex!” Jojo muttered. “Yeah, sometimes, he might not be able to have an erection but it's still manageable…” Eugene explained. “There are some medications for that and he can take them if he is not able to have an erection to do the needful.”“I hope
