Lydia Richmond's POVJojo was unsettled. I knew the order I made didn't sit well with him but I could care less. I had to make sure that he obeyed this order. It would be the best thing for him and Kayla. I liked Kayla and I would never watch her get hurt. I had to do everything possible to make sure their relationship ended.“Your order is valid, ma'am, but I would like to plead with you. I love Kayla and I won't like to be apart from her. I am sure she wouldn't like this either…” Jojo told me calmly.“But you know the risks involved. You know that she would be punished grievously if she gets caught…” I told him sharply. I was wondering why he kept on making an invalid point. “I know!” Jojo replied.“That means you don't love her!” I told him plainly. “If you love her, you will want her to be protected and you won't like something bad to happen to her. From what I can see here, you are only using her!” “No, milady. I am in love with her and I know that she will be unhappy it we bre
Lydia Richmond's POVI had to think about what Kayla told me. It sounded quite interesting and if I did it, it would be quite interesting. I had to think this through since there was no going back. This wasn't going to be an easy decision.“Do you think it will be possible?” I asked her slowly. “It should be possible as long as you want it!” Kayla told me. “All you have to do is to put your heart to it and it will all be fine. It would take some resources but I think you have enough!”I smiled. I had made my decision to disrupt this party. It would be the proper thing to do. If Beatrice could have fun while there was chaos in the Alpha's mansion, she didn't deserve a break now as well. I would scatter the party but no one would be hurt. This would be the first time I would attempt something like this. I had never done it in my life. I didn't know how to do this but with Kayla beside me, I would get a headway. She was always ready for things like this. “Let’s do this! Do you have an
Lydia Richmond's POV“But we need some other things. How do we get such a substance?” Kayla asked carefully. I only smiled when I heard this question.“You don't need to worry about that. I will find a means to get the contaminant by myself!” I told her plainly. I had my plans laid out already and Jojo would be the link.He was the only one who could get me this contaminant. All he had to do was to pay a visit to his uncle. ________I wanted to go to the party before but I didn't do this. I never wanted to be an object of suspicion. I sent a personalized message to Jojo about the contaminant and I went to check out how the men were doing. I wasn't expecting Jojo to see me but he actually did. Jojo wasn't going to talk to me in public so I made sure that the guards took some steps away from us. We could speak freely now.“May I ask what you need a contaminant for?” Jojo asked sharply.“No, you are not permitted to ask!” I replied. I meant this and I hoped he would not go further here
Lydia Richmond's POVI had a lot of emotions all over now. I was hurt about what Kayla said last. She made me sound like a mean and heartless person. Definitely, I would be challenging her for this. “What do you mean? If you knew it would work against the maids, why didn't you tell me in the first place? Why did you propose that I do it?” I shouted at her angrily. This was so annoying. If she had told me earlier, I would have stopped the mission. I could dislike Beatrice but I wouldn't kill her. Also, I will do nothing that will endanger the lives of the maids. They were innocent souls.“I thought your mind was made. I didn't want to be a stumbling block!” Kayla defended herself. She sounded so dumb right now and this made me more angry. I raised my hand but I couldn't bring myself to slap her. It wasn't her fault but mine. I should have never took action based on what she told me. Now, she had taught me lessons that I would remember for ages. I put down my hand. If I did this, I w
Lydia Richmond's POVThis had never happened in my life. No man had ever held hands with me since I got back to the mansion with my triplets. It's always been Alpha Quinn in my life and no other man stood a chance. I never knew why Jojo would try to hold my hands knowing fully well that I belonged to his Alpha. But I didn't react. I wanted to see how this would play out. It was too weird but I managed. “The whole Pack has been thrown into turmoil because of us…” Jojo told me slowly. “The substance I added in their food wasn't meant to kill anyone but it did. Lady Sumach, the Luna of one of our notable Packs died due to this issue! It wasn't from the substance she ate but because the heart attack. She thought she would die and she actually did!”I was shocked beyond words. I had finally suceeded in getting myself into trouble. Jojo held my hands tighter and I lacked the energy to remove my hands. My heart was beating harder. I knew what it meant for a Luna to be dead. The blame would
Lydia Richmond’s POVIf I had known that a decision of mine would cost my life, I would have never tried it out. This was supposed to be a harmless and quick action but now, it had turned out into something more. I still had a lot of things to talk about and solely because of this, I had to be strong. If I acted weird, Lauren would catch onto the fact that I was the one who caused the incident.“The last time I heard about Stone Sumach, he was the Alpha’s son. What happened and why is he the Alpha now? Did he attempt to revolt against his father?” I asked plainly. I was actually expecting a negative reply here.“Yes!” Lauren replied. “Stone is a ruthless fella. I heard he was in charge of his pack’s army and with this authority, he revolted against his father. He had most of the soldiers by his side and those who dared to go against him, he killed all of them!”“Shit!” I exclaimed. “What did the community of Alphas’ do to him? I am sure they wouldn’t have left him to do something like
Lydia Richmond’s POV“It’s deeper than I thought!” I exclaimed. “All in all, I think we should prepare for diplomacy cases.”“That is a must. The guards from Alpha Stone’s pack have come to pick up her body. The next thing we should expect is their envoy. I have a feeling that this won’t go well…” Lauren said slowly. I had to shun him here.“Be optimistic!” I exclaimed.“It’s reality, milady. You might not know this but I came to serve in this pack. Originally, I am not from this pack. I was a victim of war and if not for my skills, I would be dead by now. Whatever I say, it is from personal experience!” Lauren told me shortly. I let this sink into my heart.“Are you not scared? If a war breaks out and our pack is overcome, all of us could be dead. You could die too. Ain’t you afraid of that?” I asked. I was really afraid on my own. I had caused this catastrophe but this would go farther than expected. If a war breaks out, families would be scattered, people would die, and there would
Quinn’s POVI had mixed feelings when I heard about the chaos that happened to Beatrice and her guests. The moment I heard that Stone’s mate died, my fear was confirmed. I knew how things worked and I didn’t need to be told that this would be a huge problem.I told Smith to check out the scene and while I waited, I told a guard to call Lydia. She seemed to have a problem solving talent and I needed her by my side as soon as possible.Smith was the first one to come. He met me pacing around in my office. As he entered, I took my seat and listened to what he had to say.“How are things going? Is the situation under control?” I asked him anxiously. I had a lot of things to do but I needed this report so I could make headway.“Things don't look good at all. I am sorry I took some time but the news has traveled far. Alpha Stone’s guards have taken the dead body of his mate back to their pack. I think there might be hostility from their side after. It might be time to involve some of your f
