THE LUNA'S GAMBIT: Heads and Tails

Lacy’s POV“Don’t stop,” I moaned breathlessly.He growled in my ear and the deep vibration from his throat stirred my insides and I felt my thighs vibrate in a sensual response to his voice so close to me.His grip on my hips tightened as he pushed me against the ornate table and leaned in close, the bulge in his Italian pants pressing hard against my bosom.“Naughty girl, I will make you take back those words,” he growled softly into my ear as his teeth nibbled my left ear lobe.My entire body stiffened as if electricity just ran through me, “Never,” I gasped. My hands were not idle, they were running all over his broad shoulders, snaking their way down his V-taper.Underneath the soft satin fabric, I could feel all his musculature as my hands glossed back and forth across his frame.He kissed me again, his lips seeking mine passionately and blocking out every thought from my head, all that mattered in that moment was that I had him in me, that was all that mattered.I parted my leg

Lacy’s POVIt felt as if I had walked into a cold room.Alpha Rafael just remained seated behind his desk, his piercing gaze following my movement.Something was different about the man, usually, his gaze was intrusive but in a way that turned me on and invited me in.Right now, I felt like a mouse in a lion’s den, every fiber of my being was telling me to get out of there as quickly as I could.I did not understand what was going on, “Is this not a good time?” I chucked, trying to break the ice.“It was fun while it lasted, it is over now,” his chilly voice greeted me and froze me in place.My mouth hung open as I stared at him.He had made no motion to get up, to greet me with an embrace and a kiss like he usually did.I forced a smile and willed my legs into moving forward towards the minibar to the right.He just kept watching me, his fingers interlocked and his elbows on the varnished and polished table.My hands were shaking when I held the bottle and spilled the content all aro

Lacy’s POVAlpha Rafael’s words hit me like a hammer to the face.I felt the strength seep out of my legs; I was lucky to still be kneeling if not I would have collapsed.I just knelt there, a confused look on my face… unable to process the words that the man I loved just uttered to me.How did we even get here?Could I not catch a break?I had not even processed the fact that he was putting an end to our relationship, had not even dealt with the heart break from that, then came that white witch from nowhere and now there she was again, standing by his side…That was who he was choosing as his Luna? How? What was going on?“Do you have anything to say for yourself?” he thundered at me.I felt the ground beneath me shake, the crowd was hurling insults at me, spitting and booing with all their might.My eyes searched the crowd for some sort of support, I spotted my family and they were staring at me with disbelief, unable to even support me.No one I know knew about the affair I was hav

Blaine’s POV6 Years Later“Ahhh!” I let out a vicious yell and tugged violently at my restrains.The Kevlar blended straps snapped taut but refused to cut or rip.I gnashed my teeth as I felt thorns tear my flesh and come out from my skin. A feeling of dread overwhelmed me, this was just the precursor, a warning for what was to come.I braced myself and then it hit me, a searing hot pain, as if a red-hot poke was being forced through my belly and upwards towards my heart.“Curse you Lilith!” I yelled with all the hate in me.And just as suddenly as it had come upon me, the pain as well as the thorns were all gone.The electronic lock of the cell buzzed and the door snapped open.One of my omega’s, Megan came in, carrying a wet towel and a bowl as she knelt before me and began undoing the straps.I was breathing heavily and my throat felt like dust was poured into it, “Water,” I said hoarsely.She nodded and dashed out and then was back again with a chilled bottle of water.I yanked i

Rafael’s POVI rested back into the soft seat on the 55th floor of Raymond, Hans and Grover. Today was shaping up to be a terrible day.To think that what brought me to the human world was a fucking legal case of all things. I had a lot going on back in the pack and yet, here I was coming to deal with this myself, just because, everyone else was incompetent.I ran my hand through my hair and stared at my watch, Where was this fucking miracle worker?“Any moment now,” Raymond said and smiled nervously.I glared at him.The conference door slid open with a slight hiss and Hans stepped in.“Sorry for the delay,” he began and then stared outside, “Come on in,” he said in a soft but impatient tone.I stared towards the glass, from where I was seating, I could not make out who was behind it, it was one way, my frown deepened, was this fucking idiot playing hide and seek with me?“Come on in!” Hans said more firmly.I was fed up with this bullshit, maybe this firm was not as good as I though
