THE LUNA'S GAMBIT: Heads and Tails Chapter 21
Lacy’s POVI clutched the portfolio tight as I waltzed inside the corporate office of Vice Corp, a determined look on my face.As much as I didn’t want to work for alpha Rafael, it still stung to be thrown off the case under the guise of incompetence and watch the case get given to none other than Cassie.I was certain that the leak did not come from me, I was angry that Hans would even accuse me of such and I was going to put that anger to good use.I exited the elevator on the penthouse floor and walked into a conference room. On the other side of the long oval table, was the CEO of Vice Corp and his lawyer, a woman by the name of Felicia.“What is the meaning of this?” Felicia said standing up as soon as I walked in.“Sit down, Felicia,” I said in a no-nonsense tone. I settled into the chair opposite them and slammed the portfolio on the table dramatically.“Do you know what this is?” I asked the CEO directly.He remained silent and looked to Felicia.“My client only took the meetin
THE LUNA'S GAMBIT: Heads and Tails Chapter 20
Rafael’s POVI hadn’t seen that evil son of a bitch, Blaine in over a year and the very sight of him brought back memories that I didn’t care to relive.I rested back in my chair and drummed on the class tables with my steel-like nails.The door hissed opened softly and my secretary poked her head in, “Sir, you said to inform you, if and when the lawyer from Raymond, Hans and Grover gets here.”“Send her up,” I said without looking at Stacy.It looked to me like Lacy was doing everything possible to end our interaction as soon as possible, she had gone through the old by-laws and drafted a new one so quickly and now, I was sure she was here with the updated laws that needed to be signed by myself and the rest of the board.It didn’t matter anyway, try as she would, I would not let her escape me.“Mr. Ferro, it is a pleasure to meet you,” a light and unrecognized voice spoke from the doorway.That was not Lacy.I pressed the intercom button, “Stacy… Why is there a stray at my door?”I

Lacy’s POVI was still unsettled about how Blaine darted out of my house like a bat out of hell when the phone began ringing frantically. A lot was already going on and the last thing on my mind was picking up the damn landline and answering it.Ani did, “Hello?” she listened for a few seconds then took the receiver from her ear and muffled it, “Ms. Cage, it is for you.”“Tell them I am not around,” I said dismissively and turned to go.“Uhm…” she hesitated, “I think it is important.”I sighed in irritation and moved towards the phone, she handed it to me.“Hello?”“Finally, Lacy…” Cassie’s chopped voice sounded on the other end, “Where the hell have you been?”My grip tightened around the phone and I frowned, “I don’t have time for your–”“Get your ass into the office now!” she commanded.“Excuse you?” I fired back, raising my tone and then instinctively looking around to ensure the kids were not within earshot.“There is a very angry man in your office, demanding to tear the whole

Blaine’s POVI thrust both hands into my pockets and regarded Rafael with a causal but dangerous stare, “Fancy meeting you here.”“Again, that is none of your business,” he fired back. “Can’t say it was a pleasure meeting you here,” he made to get into the black Cadillac that was waiting.“Does your luna know about the pretty lady you just had a meeting with?” I smiled wickedly.He paused half way and then turned to face me fully, the red in his eyes were on fire now, “Careful, Blaine.”I regarded him with an unfazed look, “Pale skin, blonde hair? Isn’t that not exactly what your luna looks like? Or am I misremembering?”Rafael gripped the side of the door and I heard the metal creak and yield under the pressure of his grip, “What are you implying?”I pursed my lips, “Me? I am not implying anything, barely making an observation,” I smiled and walked up to him, “Next time you come to New York, do your due diligence and report to me. You don’t want the other alphas knowing that you are
THE LUNA'S GAMBIT: Heads and Tails Chapter 17
Rafael’s POVLacy looked like a terrified kid at the principals’ office.I stared at the half empty bottle of Don Jave on the table, “I can see that you started before me,” I remarked.She remained rigid in her seat and then mechanically brought forth the brief that she was holding and handed it to me.I just sat there and stared at her, not making any attempt to take it off her hands, “Did they not teach you anything at law school?” I sneered.“Ehem,” she cleared her throat and slowly retracted her hand, “Sorry,” she forced a smile. My gaze had not left her, I was watching everything, every slight motion and action, I knew she was aware of this but I didn’t care.“Here you go, sir,” the waiter said and laid a plate in front of me. “Here you go, ma’am,” he repeated and served Lacy’s lunch.“Thank you,” she said and flashed him what appeared to be a genuine smile.I sneered, what? The bellhop gets a real smile and I get nothing of the sort?“The sooner, you finish your meal, the soone
THE LUNA'S GAMBIT: Heads and Tails Chapter 16
Lacy’s POV“Just don’t do anything that will make him suspicious of anything,” I kept muttering to myself as I drove back.Blaine was right, so far as I showed up to the pack before a fourth night, all should be fine, I will not give him any reason to come after me. I will play it cool.“Play it cool, Lacy,” I muttered to myself as I pulled back into my driveway.Ani was seating on the front porch and got up as soon as I opened the door.“Ms. Cage.”“Hey Ani, I am so sorry, I should have informed you that I was going to be running late.”She smiled, “It alright, is everything okay?”“What? Yeah… everything is just fine,” I even felt nervous talking to Ani, my freaking babysitter, how was I supposed to face that monster?Ani did not look convinced, “Well, good night, Ms. Cage.” “Wait, hold up... what do you think about a vacation?”She scoffed in surprise, “What?”“I think it is about time, how would you like to take the kids on a vacation?”She opened her mouth but no words came out.
