Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 123. Just Like The Man
Cast finally drifted to sleep after hours of fighting it and repeating the same things over and over. I guess depression will do that. I needed to do more research about these things. I felt pretty foolish for not already doing so, but werewolves just don't talk about these things. It was, sadly, a new concept to me. To have someone in my life be so open about mental health. Linc was just... incredible. Cast's wrist was still cuffed to the bedpost, and his breath was steady after what felt like hours. From the edge of the bed, I watched him, my thoughts running wild over everything that had happened and everything that hadn't. He looked peaceful now, almost like things would be okay, at least for Declan's sake. But I knew better. This was just the beginning. Real decisions would have to be made once he healed.I leaned back, staring up at the ceiling. I'd kissed him repeatedly tonight, trying to steady him. To keep him from spiraling. To keep him from leaving.But if I was hones

LINC - I carried the oatmeal into the living room, balancing the hot bowl in one hand while watching Lila nursing Declan on the couch. She held him close, focusing on him as she laid her head against the pillow. I walked over and kneeled in front of her."Breakfast is served," I teased, holding the spoon up to her lips. I was enjoying the way her eyes sparkled with amusement as I did."You're going to feed me now?" she asked with a grin."You've got your hands full," I murmured. She took the first bite, her eyes on mine as she tried not to giggle. I took one after her, each bite a shared rhythm that felt like breathing. I jumped up on the couch beside her and kept feeding her."You're spoiling me," she whispered."Good. You deserve it," I answered. We continued sharing each bite. Declan finished nursing and drifted off about the same time we did. She kissed his forehead before gently passing him to me. I cradled him while she stretched."I'll put him down," I whispered. She took the

LINC - The circle that formed around us felt suffocating. There was no reason for this, yet here we were. It was a tradition forced on us by the council. This was a formality, something neither Cast nor I wanted, but here we were, standing face to face like we hadn't already agreed on the future of the packs."You ready for this?" I asked. Cast was damn near bouncing on his heels, but he nodded. "We've got no choice," he muttered. "Let's just get it over with."The council's demand for a formal challenge pissed us both off. We'd planned this out. Me leading the pack, him stepping back but still involved where it made sense. Learning until he felt confident enough to do it on his own.What was most important was co-parenting Declan until he healed. They didn't care. Tradition was tradition, and it dictated a fight to submission if power was being passed between two Alphas.The council took it a step further. Since they were now aware of our plans, they required a public display.S

CAST - It had been a while since I'd left Oxford land, driven somewhere on my own, and actually felt like I could handle it. I wasn't sure I'd even return the last time I was here. I had just started my meds, and everything had felt like a blur. Now things felt more... manageable. Today wasn't about me, though. It was about seeing Selena.The rehab facility looked the same, almost like a luxury resort instead of a medical facility. The manicured gardens stretched out in front of me. I could hear water running somewhere nearby, probably one of the fountains. The calmness here had always been so at odds with what I'd felt the first time. Now, I didn't feel that storm raging inside me. It wasn't perfect, but at least it wasn't chaos anymore.This was also the first time I'd left the household since the meds started working. Lila had asked if I was sure I wanted to go. I told her I had to do this. This time, the real difference was that she believed I'd come back. It wasn't like before
Last Updated : 2024-11-01Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 127. Moving In
CAST - Boxes were scattered across the floor, some half-open with their contents spilling out. Seeing all my stuff here, in what was now my new home was surreal. I'd been staying here for over a month, but moving my things here made it real. Permanent.Lila nudged a box closer to me, beaming as she looked around. She was so excited I was choosing to stay with them. To be near my son and to be near her. "It's like you've been living here for years with the amount of stuff you've accumulated." She punched at my shoulder, but I dodged. I glanced at the open box of books and laughed. "Maya's doing her best with the real estate side of things, but I need these. You know how much I rely on research."She snorted, teasing me as she pulled a thick book from the pile. "You say that, but I think you just wanted an excuse to take up more space."I shrugged, reaching for a framed photo to place on the shelf. "Maybe. Or maybe I just wanted to ensure I've got enough distractions so you can't b
Last Updated : 2024-11-01Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 128. Yet
LILA -Cast's phone buzzed again, and I already knew who it was. Selena's name had been popping up on his screen more often lately. He didn't hide it, but something twisted inside me each time her name flashed. It wasn't about not trusting him, because I did. But there was something about their connection that unsettled me. At first, it hadn't bothered me. I'd brushed it off as him catching up with someone from his past. But recently, the frequency had picked up. The messages started coming at all hours, early morning, midday, and sometimes even late into the night when we were supposed to be winding down. The dings and vibrations started to feel intrusive, weaving into our routines, like she was claiming space in our lives without even being here. Across the room, Cast was scrolling through his phone, not even bothering to hide the smile that came when he read whatever she'd sent. It wasn't like he was sneaking around, but he also wasn't explaining anything either. He was lea

CAST - The days began to shape into a rhythm I hadn't anticipated, one where waking to Declan's morning gurgles and the ensuing diaper changes became the highlight. He seemed to reach his tiny hands out to me when I walked into the nursery. It ignited a feeling of contentment I would have once told you I did not deserve. Once not long ago at all. Living on Oxford land wasn't part of my original plan, yet I was crafting daily routines with my son that wouldn't change anytime soon. Routines that, thanks to Lila starting college, meant balancing business calls with his diaper changes. Not that I was complaining or anything. I would take every second I could with my Little Man. Linc generously offered me the pool house, and we quickly renovated it into a modern studio apartment shortly after I moved in full-time. Lila teased us that there was too much Alpha energy in the main packhouse with the three of us there, so Linc kicked me out. Banished me to my own space. Linc would t
Last Updated : 2024-11-02Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 130. On My Mind
The soft hum of my laptop mingled with Declan's little coos as he chewed happily on a colorful teether nearby. Watching him discover everything with such genuine delight always sparked something inside me. A reminder of the simple wonders in this life, even while balancing paralegal studies, motherhood, and the tangled connections between Linc and Cast. This new chapter was challenging, but each piece brought me closer to feeling like myself again. To feel independent and ready to take on the world, no matter what happens in the future. I wasn't going to be caught off guard again. Getting my education was a big step towards that. They both understood and supported me however they could. I was so lucky to have them both, and I knew it. The coursework was invigorating, giving me something completely mine. A space for thoughts that didn't revolve around anyone else. Law had this grounding structure, a reassuring counterweight to the disruption that was my life. I'd catch myself

Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 64. Reflected Back At Me
Cold tile pressed against my cheek, biting against overheated skin. A dull pounding slammed through my skull, relentless, shoving me back into awareness. The room spun in slow, nauseating turns. My limbs refused to cooperate, heavy, disconnected, caught somewhere between exhaustion and the aftermath of last night. For a second, I didn't know where I was.The bath mat was back hanging neatly over the side of the tub like it had never been on the floor with me. My boots sat beside me, lined up perfectly. My shirt was gone. The stale stench of sweat clung to my skin, but a fresh t-shirt and jeans sat folded on the counter, waiting. Someone had been here. Someone had seen me like this.I was covered by an actual blanket. The air felt cooler than before, the AC humming softly in the background. Someone had turned it on while I was passed out.I forced myself up, muscles stiff, movements slow. Light spilled through the half-open door, too bright. The person who undressed and cleaned up afte
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 63. Drowning
A sudden wave of nausea hit. The burn turned brutal, curling deep, coiling like something alive inside me. My breath hitched, and in that split second, I knew. This was coming back up. All of it. The relief vanished, replaced by the horrifying realization that my body was done pretending to handle this. My limbs tensed, instincts kicking in too late, the floor tilting as I scrambled toward the bathroom. "Oh, fuck..."I crashed into the bathroom, barely making it before hitting the tile. The second my knees hit the floor, my stomach turned so hard it felt like something inside had torn open. Everything inside revolted, rejecting every drop of liquor I had forced down. My throat burned as bile seared its way up, tearing through me in brutal waves, each worse than the last. The liquor clawed its way back out, scorching and violent, stripping everything raw on its way up.My arms locked against the toilet, gripping hard as my body convulsed again, heaving until there was nothing left. My
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 62. Ruined
I didn't even remember deciding to come here. One second, I was running. The next, I was shoving the back window open and climbing through. The glass rattled in the frame as I slipped inside, boots hitting the floor of the empty house. The Riverwalk house. I didn't live here. My parents barely used it. But I knew the alarm code, knew every creaky board, every stuck window. Knew the way it smelled like the river outside, the scent settling deep into the old walls no matter how many times it had been aired out. I didn't know why I was here. I didn't know what I wanted. I just knew I couldn't go back. Not yet. My whole body shook, too wired to sit, too wrecked to move. Everything clawed at me from the inside, my mind stuck in a loop I couldn't break. I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask to be bitten. I didn't ask to be tied to someone before I even understood what it meant. I hadn't wanted that bond, but I had honored it. I had tried. I had done everything I could to be a man about i
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 61. Typical Roman
I ran the words through my head again and again, muttering them under my breath as I walked. Nothing sounded right. Nothing sounded like enough.Gaia, I...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to...Nothing fit. Nothing could fix this.The pack house loomed ahead, but I didn't speed up. Each step felt heavier than the last, like my body already knew what was coming and wanted to slow it down. I didn't know how bad it would be, how much of her disappointment I'd have to face before I even opened my mouth.Then I saw her.Gaia sat on the porch, wrapped in a blanket, small against the massive wooden steps. Her hair was a mess from sleep, but I knew she hadn't gotten any. I didn't need to ask. I could feel it. JI stepped closer, forcing my breathing to stay even. I signed, "Did you sleep?"She didn't answer. Didn't move.I stopped in front of her, waiting, stomach twisting so tight it hurt. I reached for the blanket, wanting to pull it away so I could wrap my arms around her, to close the distance
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 60. That's My Job
The second I woke up, everything hit at once. Last night, I hadn't felt it. I had let myself get caught up in Suki, in the way she reacted to me, in the way it felt to touch her finally. But now, in the quiet of the morning, my whole body locked up with something I hadn't been ready for.Gaia.It wasn't just guilt. It was worse than that. The sharp, suffocating ache of knowing I had done something I couldn't take back. Last night, the mate bond had been quiet. I hadn't felt anything but Suki. But now, now that the rush had faded, I swore I could feel Gaia's sadness sinking into me. They always said mate bonds worked differently when they weren't fully formed when only one side had marked the other. I hadn't marked Gaia. She had marked me. And last night, I had convinced myself that meant she wouldn't feel what I was feeling. That she wouldn't know.I had been wrong. Completely, unforgivably wrong. Last night, I hadn't even thought about it the way I should have. I should have question
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 59. Stop
I wanted to keep going, wanted to lose myself in her, but the thought of Gaia snapped through the haze. If Jaed hadn't interrupted us, we would have slept together. There wouldn't have been a way to stop it. And now, here, with Suki pressing against me, that same fire was taking over. Except there wouldn't be any interruptions this time. No one to stop me before I crossed a line I wasn't ready for. And Gaia would know. I barely managed a nod, my voice rough and unsteady. "Yeah, I hope so." She kissed me. Nothing careful, nothing slow. She met me with the same intensity I felt, no hesitation, no second-guessing. My whole body locked up as raw need took over my senses. I gripped her thighs, dragging her into me, grinding against her, chasing that friction before I could stop myself. My head screamed to slow down, to think, but my body was already gone, already locked onto the way she felt against me.I had never let myself have this before, never let myself give in, and now I was seco
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 58. Live It Out
Something about that answer stuck in my head longer than it should have.I hesitated, then typed out another message. "Are you going to freak out if Suki and I... happen?"Gaia took longer to respond this time. When she did, the answer wasn't what I expected."I know this won't end unless you do. I hate it, but I know what we are. I was never your mate until I marked you. So, live it out. Get it out of your system so you can come back to me."I swallowed hard, staring at the screen. I was unsure what to even say to that. Before I could decide, another message popped up."But if you go further with her than we did... I might get a little mad."I exhaled sharply, locking my phone and setting it down. That didn't feel like jealousy. It felt like an inevitability. Like Gaia knew exactly what was going to happen and had already made peace with it, or at least convinced herself she had.Suki stretched out on the bed, her hair a mess, looking like she had been waiting for me to stop fighting
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 57. This
Linc didn't answer. He just stood there, silent. Whatever Nessa had meant about my eyes, whatever it was that had rattled him so badly, he wasn't going to explain it.Instead, he sighed. "Drop it for now. There's too much happening at once, and we don't need another thing on top of it."That didn't settle right. "Is it bad?"For the first time since we left court, Linc actually smiled. "No. This one isn't bad. Just not something we need to bring up right now."I let it go for now.The only thing I still needed to know, the one thing clawing at my brain, wasn't about Nessa or the case or even Kat. "You used to talk about your dreams. About her. Do you still have them? Even now that she is..."Linc shifted. "Same as always. Before and after. Gets worse when I get stressed. Unless your dad... well, let's just say there are reasons I seek him out sometimes."That was enough of an answer for me. I didn't press further.We drove back in silence. My head was a mess.Linc's fated mate had bee
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 56. To You
The defense didn't have much. They knew it, too.I watched as their lead attorney fumbled through statements, trying to spin what was already undeniable. He spoke in circles, leaning on technicalities that had already been dismissed earlier in the case. The jury barely reacted. They weren't buying it. Neither was the judge. I had been sitting through this trial for hours, but this was the moment that stood out the most, watching someone try to cover something so blatantly wrong with weak excuses.Some of what he said didn't even make sense.I glanced at Linc when one of the defense attorneys said something about "reinstating the natural order." Linc shifted slightly but didn't react. Nessa, seated beside him, didn't flinch either. If anything, she looked bored. Like she had expected this level of failure from them.After another ten minutes of stumbling nonsense, the judge sighed and glanced at the clock. "The jury will now deliberate. Due to the late hour, we will adjourn and reconve
