Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 104. No More Distractions
CAST - I stayed frozen, back pressed against the cold wall, listening as the room beyond the door fell into a quiet lull. Their breathing softened, and the sounds that had torn me apart faded into the night. I should've left a long time ago, but I couldn't bring myself to move. I was too hollow and exhausted from fighting whatever war was happening inside me.They were together, complete, and I was here. Alone. As I always was.As I always would be.I pulled my knees tighter to my chest, resting my forehead on them, trying to breathe through the tightness in my throat. The dull ache in my chest had become unbearable, and I couldn't shake it off. I thought I'd gotten better at this. I thought I could handle it and be near them, knowing I wasn't part of it anymore. But I was wrong.I bit down hard on my lip to keep the sob from escaping.Then I broke.A quiet sob slipped from my throat, muffled into my knees as I lay on the cold floor. I couldn't stop it. Everything...the loneliness

LILA - I sat between them, Linc on one side and Cast on the other, in the council's meeting room. The council members sat across from us, a row of stern faces studying our every move, every word. It was like they were waiting for one of us to crack. And they were close to seeing it.Closer than I'd like to admit.Linc had just finished answering questions, defending every decision he made as leader of the Oxford pack. They dug into every detail of Astin's death, questioning his leadership, poking at his choice to send Selena to a human recovery center upstate. They seemed eager to find fault, but Linc stayed steady. He answered every question without hesitation, without a crack in his defense.The council's focus shifted. Cast wasn't nearly as composed.I looked over at him, his shoulders tight as they fired question after question about the state of his pack, his mother's removal, and the mess it had all become. I could feel the panic rolling off him as he struggled to answer. Ever

LILA - The drive to Oxford land felt like it stretched on forever. Every bump in the road sent sharp waves of pain shooting through me as the contractions came hard and fast. I tried to focus on breathing and staying calm, but it felt like my body was being torn apart. I kept drifting to Cast. He was supposed to be here. He was supposed to be with me for this.But he wasn't.I pressed my hand against my stomach, trying to hold back the panic. Linc's hand rested on my thigh as he drove, but I could feel his anxiety, too. He hadn't said much after Cast walked away, but I knew it was eating at him as much as tearing me apart."We're almost there," Linc said as we turned onto the dirt path that led to the Oxford estate.I nodded, squeezing my eyes shut as another contraction hit, this one worse than the last. My body felt like it was splitting in two. I bit down hard on my lip, trying not to scream. The pain was relentless, and I wasn't sure how much more I could take.The house came in

My body was no longer my own. It was consumed by the pressure, the tightening, the overwhelming need to push. Simultaneously, it felt like doing so might break me. “Breathe,” Linc whispered, his lips close to my ear. “You’re doing so well. I’m right here.” I leaned into him, my body trembling, fighting against the next wave of pain that was already building. Every nerve was on fire, every inch of me felt like it was splitting apart, but I held on to his words, his touch, his presence. He was so steady, so calm, even though I knew he had to be as scared as I was. He didn’t show it. He was here for me, all in, taking on every ounce of pain and fear with me. “I can’t do it,” I whispered, even though I knew it was too late for that. The baby was coming, and there was no stopping it. But I was terrified. Not of the pain, not of the birth, but of the fact that Cast wasn’t here. He should’ve been with me, should’ve been here for this moment, but he wasn’t. He’d walked away, and I couldn’

"What are you going to name him?" she asked. Linc smiled as he looked down at our son. "Caslin," he began."No," I cut him off. "His name is Declan Ford… Corrigan."Linc blinked, his eyes wide with surprise. "Declan? What happened to Caslin?"I sighed. "Cast should be here, but he isn't. He walked away. He doesn't deserve to have our son named after him."Linc stared at me. Understanding filled his eyes slowly, and he nodded. He leaned down and kissed my temple."Declan," he whispered. "Our son."Cast wasn't here.He should have been. He was supposed to be here for this moment, to see his son come into the world, to cut the cord and hold him for the first time. But he wasn't, and I didn't know if he ever would be."I'm sorry," I whispered, trembling as I held Declan tighter. "He should be here. Your Dad should be here."Linc didn't hesitate. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer, pressing his chest against my back. "He'll regret it," he said softly, his lips brushing my te

LINC - Four days had passed since Declan was born. Four days of a quiet peace that had settled over our home. Everything felt different now. The house was filled with the new life we had brought into the world. And Lila... she was radiant. Watching her with our son and seeing how naturally she had taken to motherhood hit me like nothing I'd ever felt before. I was in awe of her. I was in awe of this tiny, perfect being she'd created.Declan slept in his bassinet beside the bed while Lila rested. I'd barely left their sides since the birth, only long enough to shower, eat, and take care of basic things around the house. I even convinced the judge to allow me to attend the case via Zoom for the first week. Luca handled everything and I kept the video on mute. Most of the time, I just sat with them, watching as Declan curled up against Lila's chest.The way she looked at him, held him, soothed him... It was magic. I didn't think I could ever love her more than I already did, but it gr

LINC - Cast's body sagged, his chest heaving as he lay there, defeated. I turned and walked away, not giving him another chance to speak. I couldn't. Not after everything. He didn't deserve it.I made my way back to the house. I couldn't let this get to me. Not now. Lila and Declan were inside, waiting for me, and I needed to be with them. I needed to make sure they were okay.I slipped inside, quietly making my way to the bathroom to clean up. My knuckles were bruised and bloody from the fight, but I washed them quickly, the cool water soothing the sting. I didn't have time to think about what had just happened. Lila couldn't know he was that messed up. Not now. Not after everything.Once I was cleaned up, I returned to the bedroom. Lila was still asleep, her body curled up on the bed, and Declan started to stir in his bassinet. I smiled, the anxiety from the fight melting away as I looked at them.They were all that mattered. I would protect them, even if it were from someone who

CAST - I walked away from the council meeting in a daze. Like I wasn't myself. I didn't feel like myself. Hell, I wasn't even sure any of this was real. The sound of Linc's voice echoed in my head. "The baby is mine."I couldn't unhear it, no matter how hard I tried.It had been the one thing keeping me together. The thought that, no matter what happened, no matter how badly I'd messed up, the baby was still the one good thing I could say I did.But now, even that was gone. Linc had claimed him. My son. The council didn't even hesitate when he said it. They just accepted it like it was the truth. And Lila... she let it happen. She hadn't even looked at me. She was too busy guiding me through the meeting like I was a child, whispering answers to questions I should've been able to handle on my own. But I couldn't.I couldn't hold it together in front of the council. I'd frozen, crumbling under the pressure, and Lila had stepped in to save me. I should've been the one fighting for my

Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 76. Ever Again
DECLAN -I couldn't stop staring at the bruises. They darkened her arms, deep purple patches against her skin. More bruises ran along her ribs, circling her sides, marking every place I fought her, every spot I had thrashed to get free. Each mark told me exactly how much I'd lost control.Suki didn't move away despite everything. She lay still against me, her breathing steady, calm. She hadn't flinched once through it all. She hadn't complained or tried to escape. She'd just held me down for an hour, refusing to let me lose myself completely. And why?Because I panicked.Because I convinced myself something was broken when the truth was obvious. The moment we were marked, I would hear her, and she would hear me. It wasn't complicated. It wasn't something to fear. But panic had overtaken me anyway, and she'd paid the price.The ache spread through my knuckles. The truth hit me again and again. I'd hurt her because I couldn't keep my fears in check. Those bruises weren't just from the
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 75. What Was So Wrong?
SUKI - Declan's wolf moved like nothing I had ever seen. I had spent countless moments wondering what he might look like. Would he carry his father's stark, shadowy appearance, or would the softer colors of his mother break through? He was a spitting image of Cast, so I was expecting him to be dark, tall, and strong. And a bit chaotic. The reality surprised me. His coat held the deep hue of Cast's fur, intense and powerful, but lighter shades wove through like lighter veins hidden beneath the darkness. He shimmered slightly as the faint light caught the streaks, giving him an otherworldly presence. He wasn't just a wolf. He was an embodiment of raw strength, each muscle carved for dominance, a predator poised at the peak of power. I was in awe.His eyes held me captive immediately. Those icy, striking blue eyes were the only thing truly familiar. They belonged to Declan. They had always belonged to him. Seeing him this way felt oddly comforting. He was beautiful, a creature perfe
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 74. You Did It
DECLAN - Fire tore down my spine. It twisted through every limb. My bones cracked. They shifted under the surface. They broke apart and reformed in ways that weren't natural. A scream wrenched from my throat. It came out raw and ragged. My legs gave out. I fell forward. Suki caught me, arms wrapping around me, pulling me tight against her."Stay with me," she whispered.I wanted to. I wanted to hold onto her and never let go, but I couldn't. The pain grew worse. It tore through every inch of me. It turned me inside out. My hands clenched around her waist. My forehead pressed hard into her shoulder. Everything inside me screamed to stay close. To hold on. To let her keep me together. But the shift had other plans.Another wave of fire ripped through my body. It was stronger than before. My back arched. My fingers spasmed. A growl, deep, guttural, completely inhuman, tore from my throat."Suki..."She held on tighter. "I know. I know."I wanted to believe she did, but she couldn't. No
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 73. Don't Let Go
DECLAN - I tried to push past her, but she held her hands up. "You can't go inside. Not right now."I froze. "What do you mean we can't go in?""Something happened," she said. "No one's allowed inside."My stomach dropped. "What the hell happened?"She shook her head. "Linc, Lila, and Cast went to Linc's old apartment in the city to shift. If you want to go there, you can."Suki and I exchanged a look. That was too close to the city. Too close to people. I didn't know what this shift would be like, and I wasn't about to risk tearing through concrete walls because I lost control.I exhaled sharply, turning back to Selena. "No. That's not a good idea."She hesitated before speaking. "Go to the burned-down house."Every muscle in my body locked up. "You can't be serious."She didn't waver. "You need a place to shift. That's your option."My heart hammered against my ribs. "What happened here? Why can't I shift at the pack house?"She stayed silent.I stepped forward. "Selena—""Don't wo
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 72. Quiet
DECLAN - I startled awake, breath catching hard. My body tensed, expecting the usual flood of images, the heavy, sinking feeling that came every time I crawled out of sleep. But there was nothing. No nightmares. No flashes of Gaia. Just quiet.Suki was still curled up beside me, the blanket barely covering her. She had gotten too hot in the middle of the night and tossed her shirt somewhere across the room. I stared for a long moment, wondering if she did it to torture me. Maybe it was on purpose, a test of how much self-control I had left. I had spent two weeks fighting every urge, pulling back when I wanted to push forward. That was ending tonight.The second I recovered from the shift, I was taking care of this. I was done waiting. She was mine, and I was going to make sure she knew it. In every way I could. I was relieved she was still asleep. Still so peaceful. I probably talked in my sleep the entire week. I did that a lot as a kid. I still did when I was stressed. Dad used t
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 71. Better?
DECLAN - I swore she was about to lean in and mark me. My whole body jerked, already reacting to what I thought was coming. Then she didn't. The absence of it hit just as hard. Something close to desperation cracked through my chest. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. Every breath felt heavier than the last. Every second dragged. I was losing it. Literally losing it.Suki straddled my lap, pushing me against the mattress. Pressure kept me there, but it wasn't enough to settle the fire running through me. My fingers tightened on her thighs, trying to maintain some level of control here. Nothing worked. The burn spread. Every nerve turned razor-sharp.Her hands moved down my arms like she could pull me back. "Breathe."I tried, but the air seemed to be stuck in my throat. "I can't."She dug her fingers in my skin. "Yes, you can."My teeth clenched. "Suki..."She kissed me, dragging me under before I could stop her. My body jerked into hers, chasing the only thing I could think of.S
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 70. Take Me
SUKI - The night before the full moon arrived, and the energy in the air felt thick enough to choke on. His body didn't fully understand what was coming yet, even if he did. Every instinct in him was preparing for something it had never gone through before. Luckily, I was here to help.My shifts were different. The moon didn't force them on me. I chose when to let my wolf out, when to embrace what was inside me. On the full moon, I wanted to shift. It felt incredible, like everything inside me clicked into place. But I didn't have to. He did. And it hurt. Really bad the first time.I had never understood why werewolves got the short end of the deal. Why their shift had to be something brutal, something to survive rather than something to embrace. If I could take that part away for him, I would. But I wasn't the one in the family with connections to the moon goddess. Declan paced through the Riverwalk house like he was trying to outrun something. He stretched, rolled his shoulders, a
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 69. I Am
SUKI - We ignored Gaia's birthday entirely. Neither of us spoke about it. Didn't acknowledge the date when it came and went. I'd say I hoped she had a good birthday, but that would be a lie. Instead, we swam in the river.The water was cool and clear, wrapping around us like something separate from the real world. Declan came alive in it, shedding the weight he had been carrying for weeks, moving through the currents like his body was remembering what it felt like to be free.He caught me from behind, dunking me before I could react. I sputtered to the surface, wiping water from my face just as he dove again, disappearing beneath me. A second later, hands gripped my waist, dragging me under. I fought, twisting against him, but he was stronger. Faster.I let him win.He pulled me close, his mouth brushing against mine just as we broke through the surface again. His lips hovered, teasing, waiting. My breath tangled in my throat, but I didn't make him wait long. I pressed into him, wat
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 68. Let Me Be His
SUKI POV - The first few days at the Riverwalk house had been quiet. Not silent, Declan didn't do silent, but calmer. Softer. Far less dramatic. I had expected the grief to eat at him, to turn him sharp, reckless, and impossible to handle. And while the anger still lingered, and he did seem ready to snap at any second, he let me help him. Let me take care of him. Let me put him back together piece by piece.He let me shove him toward the hammock when he was too exhausted to argue. Let me force water into his hand when he was too stubborn to take care of himself. Let me sit beside him and force-feed him, watching to make sure he ate every bite. I cleaned the cuts on his knuckles when he got too lost in his head and hit something he shouldn't have. I massaged the tension from his shoulders when he just couldn't relax. I patched up every wound, physical and otherwise, without him having to ask.He just let me take care of him. Let me curl into him at night when I knew the nightmares wer
