Rosa’s POV

The clinking of glasses was only interrupted by soft chatter as the wives of the elders and nobles chatted away.

I smiled and nodded here and there but my mind was far removed from what was going on.

I could not stop thinking of Lacy, how much paler she was compared to me, her snow blonde hair too that seemed to glow.

Could it be that –

“Luna?” a servant said.

I blinked and stared at her.

“The twins are here,” she said, bowed and left.

I sighed in relief. The twins showing up meant t

  • THE LUNA'S GAMBIT: Heads and Tails   Chapter 76

    Rafael’s POVMy eyes stayed locked on the flesh carving of the insignia of the Balt Pack.This did not make sense. Why would Blaine do something like this?The man was an evil son of a bitch but he was not reckless. This looked sloppy as fuck.“Wait, I thought he could not do that?” Detective Jane rightly said.“He must have run mad. His curse must have driven him insane. This is definitely him!” Ted said bitterly.I remained speechless. Who had a reason to kill Dr. Ian? He was like the last person I expected to die under any condition.When I heard there had been a killing at the hospital, I thought Rosa had lost her mind and gone after Katherine Cage, this… I was not expecting.“This does not look like the work of Blaine,” I said finally.“What?” Ted was dumbfounded.Even I could not believe what I was saying, it felt weird vouching for that devil.I shook my head, “Does not match his style.”Ted scoffed, “This is definitely him, alpha. I can feel it in my bones!”“But a direct atta

    Rafael’s POV“Mom isn’t here, but I think you know this already,” Cass said.I stared at the little boy that held the door open, trying to gauge his thoughts. “You are right,” I said.“Then why are you here?” he asked, still blocking the doorway with his little body.“Hey, Cass, let Mr. Rafael in, what is your problem?” Andy interjected.He turned to look at his older brother who was speaking from an unseen position inside, “Stay out of this!”“Like hell I will!” Andy came into sight and bumped into Cass sending him staggering to the side.“Sorry about that, Mr. Rafael, come on in,” he held the door open.I gave him a small smile and nodded at him. “What is it that you do exactly?” Cass asked, following me behind.“Don’t pay him no mind,” Andy said. “Mom is not back yet but you can wait for her.”“No, he can’t.” Cass objected.I could not help but smile to myself as the boys argued. How nice it must be to grow up with siblings, something I never had and right now, it wasn’t looking

    Lacy’s POVLucas was outside mum’s hospital room and he got up as soon as he saw me.“I am not here to fight, I just want to see how she is doing,” I said with my hands in the air, a sign of complete surrender. He stared at me and then he sighed, “Good, she has been asking about you… and the kids.”“I haven’t even told them about what happened to their granny yet, can’t bring myself to,” I admitted out loud.Lucas nodded, “That’s probably for the best. She would be out of here in a few days, no need to worry them.”I smiled at him, “Were you just being considerate to your nephews and niece?”He scoffed, “Whatever, come on in.”I followed behind him, the smile on my face getting bigger, “They are adorable, aren’t they? Even you can’t deny that.”He scoffed louder but there was mirth in his voice now, “Don’t you have any shame?”“Not at all,” I giggled.Lucas chuckled.My smile widened.I got a chuckle out of him, maybe things were not so hopeless.Mum was sitting up in bed getting che

    Rosa’s POV“Mum, I am telling you. He was as crazy as a bat out of hell!”I was pacing back and forth in my mother’s chamber in the North Wing.“I think he know, Ma, I think he does! I have never seen him this angry.”My entire body shuddered as I recalled what happened.The alpha had never stared at me like that before, not with such a murderous gaze, a gaze that paralyzed me and made me almost piss myself.“Mum! You are not saying anything!” I began to panic.“Would you just shut it for a minute and let me think?” She snapped.My mother was seating in an arm chair with her right hand tucked under her jaw, “What else did he say?”“Nothing, he stormed off after telling me to stay away from that bitch.” I was breathing heavily as I tried to calm myself down.“He smashed my favorite mirror, mum. He did! We are screwed.”“Could you shut it and let me think?” She snapped again.I stared at her and smirked, “This is all your fault, you are the one that told me to go after Lacy. You caused

    Rafael’s POV“How much is it going to cost?” I asked.Alpha Johnson’s voice sounded gruff through the phone, “Sixteen million, give or take.”I frowned, “The asking price is 10, what is the other 6 supposed to be for?”I heard him chuckle on the other end of the line, “Alright, make it twelve and let’s call it a day.”“Johnson, all you are getting out of me is 11 and it will be wired to your corporate account within the hour.”“Always as frugal as ever,” he commented, “Fine, eleven it is but don’t transfer it yet. Let the paperwork be finalized with Baron Steel first. I don’t want such huge sum accumulating dust and getting taxed.”“Let me know when. And Johnson… Don’t forget your own end of the deal,” I reminded him.“It is not me you should be worrying about. My vote alone will not get you the result you need. Who else have you managed to convince?”“You let me worry about the other votes, just do your part.”I hung up and frowned.Alpha Johnson was not wrong, I needed at least one

    Blaine’s POV“What is this?” Lacy asked as she reached into the envelope and pulled out its contents.I leaned back and watched her expression as she went through them.She was shaking her head, a look of confusion on her face, “What are these? What am I looking at here?”She dropped the pictures that were in the envelope on the table and looked at me with a questioning look.“Blaine, what does this have to do with stopping the merger?”I smiled, “I take it you don’t know who any of the people in the pictures are.”“Am I supposed to know them?” she looked slightly irritated. “This is your smoking gun?”I decided to explain, “The man in the picture – that is alpha Johnson of Johnson Corp and the woman that he is fooling around with is the wife of the CEO of Baron Steels. The company Johnson Corp wants to merge with.”Lacy gasped, “What? Alpha Johnson is having an affair with the wife of the man he wants to do a merger with?”“Exactly.”She shook her head in disapproval, “But how exactl

    Lacy’s POV“ME?” I almost jumped out of the car.“There are a million lawyers in New York, why me?”“You are the best I know,” Blaine said earnestly, “And frankly, the only one good enough to outdo Rafael.”I didn’t know whether to be flattered or horrified. “No, no, Blaine, get someone else to d

    Lacy’s POVAlpha Rafael was right, there were enough correlations between the firm’s debit statement and Flask’s credit statements in his casino account.We had him right there.I could not help but smile and scoff. It was funny, the original plan was just to rewrite the by-laws and stop him from s

    Blaine’s POVI was breathing heavily as I braced for what was coming next. The Kevlar blended straps were firmly clasped around my wrists and ankles, restricting my movements.The pain came without warning, catching me off guard. I let out a rippling roar as pointy thorns tore through my skin and p

    Rafael’s POVI drove away from Lacy’s house more confused than I was when I drove there.Who was Blaine to Lacy and who the hell were those kids? Triplets.A chill ran down my spine as the words from the Old Crone echoed in my head. “One is, two a sign, three an endorsement of the goddess herself.
