(Lydia Richmond's POV) I was so afraid at that moment. I thought I had killed Jake. I moved stealthily towards him with the aim of checking his condition.Jake wasn't moving. He laid unconscious where he was. I moved in to check his pulse now. I could still feel life in his veins. Now, I knew he had not died already. He was still living and I still had to save him. However, I didn't know how to do this. I knew no herbs or roots that could rescue him from this.I was directed by impulse to check his head where I had hit him with the piece of wood. I checked and the area wasn't bleeding. However, it was swollen. I wasn't comfortable with this as he could be having an internal injury. I had once read that in those cases, a person's life was at risk as it could cut short the blood flow from the brain. It could also cause excessive blood flow to the brain. I pondered on all these but still without a solution. Suddenly, I saw Jake began to come out of his consciousness. This was good news

(Lydia Richmond's POV ) I was shocked on seeing the man. He had scars all over his face. I fell down not unconscious but with my heart beating louder than ever. He was a beast in my eyes and I expected him to tear me into pieces at that moment.But he didn't. I watched him more and saw this caring perspective of him. He looked startled after he had gazed at my stomach. He must have seen that I was heavily pregnant."How come you are here, young woman? You should be with your family…" the scary man told me. He moved towards me and helped me up. This got me surprised. I wasn't expecting this from him at all.He began to help me dust off my clothes. I knew he would want a reply to the question he had asked before and so, I decided to cook up a lie. That was probably a way to escape from his hands. He was definitely from the Pack and if I told I was escaping from Lord Stone Sumach, he would want to hold me and take me back to where I have been escaping from."My uncle is an evil man.

(Lydia Richmond's POV) I wondered what would happen now. But first, I had to exclaim. This was unexpected. "What!" I exclaimed. "You have been a fugitive? Like you also once escaped from prison? Do you mean this Pack's prison? Like from the hands of Lord Stone?""Yes!" Andy replied still with a smile on his face. "In fact, I can only stay calm now that I have heard your story. We are in the same shoes, Lydia. We will have to stick by each other from now on."I was finding this difficult to believe. I really needed him to expatiate."Can you expatiate, please? I don't seem to understand this…" I said again. I wanted to make sure I wasn't thinking wildly.He sighed. I waited for him to start talking. I was going to wait till the end. This wasn't time for me to be too forward about anything. I had to keep things cool."Yes, I will," Andy told me now. "Three years ago, I also entered the Pack illegally just like you and still like you, I was caught, arrested, and thrown into prison.

(Lydia Richmond's POV) It wasn't easy managing three children at the same time. If not for Andy, I didn't know what I would have done.Andy was a very supportive person. He treated me like we had known each other for years. He made me believe that our meeting was fated. I literally couldn't live without him.I had been shy around him before but after he took my delivery, I let all that go. I was now interested in getting well. I didn't care what it took. After I gave birth, I was so weak that Andy was the one who bathed me for about three nights. He had seen my nakedness but this helped me feel more comfortable. All I hoped for was that Andy saw me as a sister. I wouldn't like it if he had a soft liking for me and wanted me to be in a romantic relationship with me.I knew there was no way he wouldn't be horny after seeing my nakedness. This wasn't to be proud but I had a hot body. I was slim, curvy, and beautiful. Being slim didn't mean that I wasnt full in the right places. I had en

(Lydia Richmond's POV ) I was walking around the market buying nothing. All I did was to get the feeling which I had missed. It was the feel of people's presence. I had missed that and I had to take it in more because I didn't know the next time I will be having this feeling.This was the moment when I saw him. It was that familiar figure who had made me almost traumatized.Jake.I wasn't expecting to see him. He was also surprised to see me. I had been too hooked to run away. Like usual, I was fixed to a spot due to anxiety.I watched as Jake came towards me. He had no weapon but his presence was enough to weaken me. I didn't know what to do. I stood on that same spot."Hey, Lydia! It's been quite a long time!" Jake told me carefully. He was smiling carelessly. This only made my heart beat harder and louder. I felt like my heart would fly out of my chest at this moment. The pressure was too much."Yes, Jake," I finally replied. This took a whole lot of courage from my part. But
