There are a few options:

1) Include the DLL as a resource and extract it to a temp location 
before loading it

2) Load it directly from memory using a third party unit like this: 
https://github.com/Fr0sT-Brutal/Delphi_MemoryModule

3) Codesign the DLL and executable and verify that they haven't been 
modified. There's code to do that on Stack Overflow, though it wasn't 
tested on Lazarus:
