Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 151. More Complicated Than That
LILA - I sat up, leaning against the headboard, watching Linc sleep. He was face-down, his arm tucked under his head in the way he always did when he was stressed. His face looked peaceful, but I knew him too well to believe it. Most alphas slept like this when they were under strain—some instinct in them sought the earth, grounding them when their wolves felt restless or cornered. Tonight, I'd left him spent, utterly exhausted, but still... he lay there tense, his fingers gripping the pillow, his whole body in that defensive position.The mate bond had that kind of grip on him, even after everything we'd just shared. He'd told me...over and over...that he didn't want Phoebe. That he only wanted me, our life, and the future we were building together. I believed him, I did. But I also knew what it was like to have a mate pull on you, that feeling that hummed under your skin, no matter how hard you fought against it. I knew how real that pull could feel, how persistent, how overwhelmi

LINC - My phone buzzed, dragging me from sleep. I reached over automatically, thinking maybe Lila had gone to check on Declan and needed help. I picked up my phone, barely registering what I was doing, before pressing it to my ear."Hello?"Silence.Then I heard breathing.I stiffened, the familiarity prickling at my senses. Then it hit me.I'd answered a call from Phoebe. My stomach twisted with dread and guilt instantly. How the hell had I picked up? I forced myself to breathe, to shake off the grogginess, but I couldn't bring myself to hang up."Phoebe?" The name slipped out.She hesitated like she hadn't expected me to answer. "I texted you earlier. I thought you'd respond."I exhaled sharply. I'd seen her message. I'd even looked at the photo Selena sent with her in it, but I'd ignored it, hoping she'd take the hint. I deleted it all. I'd done everything right, yet it seemed nothing would stop this mess from continuing. "Phoebe, I didn't respond for a reason. I've been trying

LILA Linc sat there, rubbing his jaw like he had something stuck under his skin. I stayed silent, allowing him to say whatever made him look like he'd swallowed a rock. Finally, he sighed and mumbled, "I answered a call from Phoebe."I blinked, my brain stalling as it tried to process that. "You… answered her call?"He nodded as his shoulders slumped. "Yeah. I thought it was you calling. I just picked up without thinking."That prickled at all my senses. The fact that she'd succeeded at getting to him made me hate this whole thing even more. She's older, way older than us. Why didn't she take the hint and move on? "What did she want?" I forced the question out."She… she wants to meet." He struggled to keep looking at me. "Tomorrow, before the full moon."I had to force my breathing steady. "You said yes, didn't you?"I could see his frustration as he ran both hands through his hair, making it stick straight up. It only added to the wild mess he looked like right now. "Lila, I cou

The morning hit me hard. Nausea twisted in my stomach, and I barely reached the toliet before everything came up. Today was going to be hell, and my body wasn't even letting me pretend otherwise.Cast had already agreed to come with us, and I was grateful he hadn't even hesitated. Linc was out front, tying up last-minute pack duties before we'd leave. Just the thought of facing Phoebe and Selena made me queasy all over again. Just as I finished applying makeup, Cast appeared in the doorway, holding Declan. I looked up, catching his eyes in the mirror. "You can come in here, you know." He stepped inside, shifting Declan in his arms as he sat beside me on the small makeup bench. His leg pressed against mine, and just like that, the nausea disappeared. His hand slipped into mine, and I sighed."I'm scared," I admitted.He pressed closer. "I know.""It's not just about Phoebe or the bond," I continued. "It's the fear of what fate will do. Remember how hard it was for us? How intense

LINC - Every step I took pulled me farther from Lila, further from the only thing I wanted. I'd promised her I'd do this, to set things right, but with each step toward Phoebe, I felt the strain between promises and instincts tearing at me, testing the limits of my resolve.Phoebe was waiting. The evening light softened the lines of her face, casting her in a glow that made her seem almost ethereal. She looked so at ease, a calm I couldn't understand, given the significance of what we were about to do. I wondered if she was as conflicted as I was, or if she was somehow prepared in ways I wasn't.She studied me in silence, then spoke with a quiet curiosity. "Do you ever wonder what would have happened if things had gone differently? If this bond would have brought us together sooner?""I have," I admitted. "But the only answer I ever find is that I wouldn't change a thing. Lila's my choice, my future, my everything. I'd choose her again and again."Phoebe sighed and looked away. "I lo
Last Updated : 2024-11-13Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 156. Regret It
LINC - The ride back from the rehab felt longer than the journey out, but that was probably just my mind, twisting everything around as it tried to process the past few hours. Cast drove quietly. I sat in the backseat next to Declan's car seat, with Lila on his other side. I reached out and found her hand over the top of the seat. Her fingers intertwined with mine.I leaned my head back against the seat and closed my eyes. My mind buzzed with a strange energy. There was this dull ache inside me, the phantom feeling left over from severing the bond with Phoebe. I couldn't quite shake the discomfort. Maybe I'd expected the rejection to feel more like a relief, but it didn't. What I'd felt for her had torn away violently, leaving behind raw edges. I didn't regret it, not even for a second.Lila didn't say anything, nor did I. She squeezed my hand occasionally. She could feel whenever my thoughts started to spiral and would pull me back without a word. Every so often, I opened my ey
Last Updated : 2024-11-13Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 157. Hurt Me
LILA - The shift overtook Linc in waves, his body contorting, his muscles rippling and stretching as his bones reshaped. I stood as close as I dared, my breath catching as I watched him transform. He made it look so... elegant. This was the first time I'd willingly allowed him to shift without bars or chains, no protective boundaries or restraints. We were trusting his wolf since I'd marked him and I was carrying his twin pups. I'd really hoped this would be my first time to shift with him, but I guess fate had other plans. Plans I was having trouble making sense of now that Phoebe was bouncing around his mind.Once Linc's transformation was complete, his massive wolf towered over me. His thick, dark fur gleamed under the moonlight, and his blue eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made me smile. Behind the wildness, the man I loved was still there, yet my breath still hitched as he slowly padded toward me.I reached out and brushed my fingers through his fur. "Linc," I sai

CAST- I unlocked the cellar door and stepped inside, shutting it behind me with a soft click as the lock slid back into place. The room was dark and damp, barely lit by the slant of light from the single high window, enough to see that Linc, still in his wolf form, on high alert. Lila stood beside him, tense and watchful.I lowered myself to the ground, sitting cross-legged by the door. Linc was in control but just barely, muscles taut under his dark coat, his eyes gleaming under the faint light.Lila looked me over. "You're not worried he'll tear you in half?"I looked right at him. "Are you gonna hurt me?" He huffed, his ears twitching back like he was considering it, then flopped onto his side with a sigh. His claws scraped the stone floor, but he made no other move. Lila was left the only one standing.I shrugged and looked up at her. "Guess not."She crossed her arms, still skeptical. "You were only gone a few minutes. That was… fast." Her eyes narrowed. "How'd you do it that q

Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 227. Babies
I woke up to an empty bed. The absence was immediate, the warmth gone. Stretching out, I let my hand graze the sheets, confirming they were cool. They hadn't been in bed for a while. The faint hum of water and voices carried through the room, pulling me from the remaining haze. I followed the sound to the bathroom door. It was cracked open, steam curling out. Their voices grew clearer as I leaned in to look. Lila sat on the built-in bench, with the water spraying down her back. Cast knelt in front of her, his hands resting gently on her stomach. He spoke softly, leaning closer, and even though the words weren't meant for me, they hit me hard. "I'll be there for them, for you," he murmured. "No matter what. Even if I have to handcuff myself to you to make sure I don't screw this up again." She laughed out loud as he started feathering kisses across her growing stomach to try to tickle her. She leaned forward and pulled him up. Their lips met, and I stayed frozen at the door
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 226. Both Of You
LINC - I didn't remember him doing it. Cast didn't remember either. Even Lila, shaking and pale, said she had no recollection of the bite. Yet, as we sat there on the bed in the pool house, trying to piece it all together, his mark stood out darker than mine. It wasn't subtle. It wasn't something we could brush off. We all sat there, unable to articulate the emotions bouncing heavily between us. Between the three of us. She was caught in the middle, her entire body shaking. One hand was pressed to the mark on her neck, the other resting over her stomach. I sat on one side of her, Cast on the other, and we both touched her in the same way. A hand on her knee, the other on her back, trying to steady her, or maybe ourselves. She shifted between us restlessly, leaning against me for a moment, then to him. Her breathing was uneven, and I couldn't stop running my fingers lightly over her skin, trying to calm her. Cast and I didn't look at each other. We couldn't. We didn't need to.
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 225. Us
CAST -I wasn't sure why it happened. Why Linc let it happen. Why any of us did. It was like the moment had taken on a life of its own, and we were just caught in its current. She had crumbled onto the floor, overwhelmed by how we were acting. I couldn't leave her there. I bent down and scooped her up, her body slack against me, and something in the way she folded into my arms shattered the last of my restraint.Her lips were right there, and I didn't think before kissing her. It wasn't soft or cautious. It was the kind of kiss that demanded more. Her lips pressed back against mine, but then she broke away, looking toward Linc. He was already behind her, his hands resting on her sides, his fingers dragging in slow, deliberate patterns on her growing belly. She looked caught between us, her breaths uneven as her eyes darted back to me. She was about to panic."You need us both, don't you? Just… just let it happen." My lips brushed hers again, desperate to pull her back to me.Her att
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 224. Broke
Declan’s breathing finally evened out, his tiny body curling against me in complete trust. I placed him back in his crib, smoothing the blanket over him as gently as I could. The nursery quieted again, leaving just the soft hum of the baby monitor in the corner.I turned to CeCe, still sitting on the floor near the crib. Her hands rested in her lap, and her focus stayed on Declan. “He’s fine now. You should go back to your room and get some sleep.”She hesitated, biting her lip. “Helena’s in there… busy.”I raised a brow. “Busy?”She shifted awkwardly. “With her boyfriend. I don’t really want to walk in on that.”I crossed my arms, leaning back against the edge of the crib. “Are they being safe?”“As best they can,” she admitted, looking at her hands. “The healers won’t exactly help with that kind of thing. It’s… hard to get what we need.”“That’s just the old traditions still lingering,” I explained. “The healers were scared of the old alpha and stuck to whatever rules kept them out
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 223. Just Tell Me
LINC - Her skin was soft and smooth beneath my hands as I traced the curves of her body. I felt the goosebumps rise on her skin as I kissed her neck. The way she responded to my touch left no doubt. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. We fit together perfectly. My fingers slid over her back, savoring the warmth radiating from her. She leaned into me, her breath feathering against my neck as I pulled her closer. Her hands roamed, exploring me in ways that made everything else dissolve into nothingness. The sound of her heartbeat thrummed against my chest, grounding me in the moment, in her. My mouth moved over her skin, tasting every inch. She arched under me, her body soft and eager. I pulled back just enough to look at her, but the shadows covered her face. "I need you," I murmured, letting my lips find hers again. The kiss built into something that made us feel endless. Like our bodies could melt together and become one. My body moved against hers as I growled against her
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 222. Love Him
LILA - The knock startled me. My body stiffened as I clung to the remnants of composure, the ache in my chest almost unbearable. Cast turned off the shower and stepped out, grabbing a towel. I watched him wrap it around himself and head for the door. He seemed far too calm for this. "I've got it," he said, glancing back briefly.I didn't respond. The nausea still twisted in my stomach, and the bond with Linc burned at the edges of my mind, an unwelcome intrusion that wouldn't stop.Cast opened the door, sticking his head out just enough to block whoever it was from seeing inside. "I just finished showering, and Lila's getting cleaned up now. She threw up all over both of us," he explained, his voice casual like it wasn't a blatant lie. "I'll be out in a minute."I froze, heat flushing through me. Not from embarrassment but from pure fury.Before I could think twice, I grabbed a towel and stepped out of the shower, forcing down the bile rising in my throat. The lie was too much, and
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 221. Take It
CAST -The night stretched endlessly, each tick of the clock reminding me I wasn't going to sleep anytime soon. Tessa had adjusted my meds earlier in the week, upping the dosage just enough to screw with me. It wasn't the first night I'd spent like this, wide awake while the rest of the pack slept. It was starting to wear me thin.Kat, on the other hand, was out cold. Her body rested against mine, curled into my chest like she couldn't get close enough. The warmth of her breath skimmed my skin, steady and soft, the kind of rhythm that should've been calming. I trailed my hand over her back, tracing idle patterns out of habit more than intent.The room we were in wasn't really ours. It belonged to Lila, and she had Declan here, then briefly to me when I didn't have anywhere else to go. Now it was just "the extra," a placeholder no one had claimed outright. Yet, it was starting to feel like ours. Our stuff was scattered across the dresser and floor, the bed smelled like her shampoo, an
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 220. The Sooner The Better
LINC - The road stretched ahead, cutting through familiar territory and leading us toward the human city. My eyes darted to the rearview mirror more often than I wanted to admit. Cast and Kat sat in the backseat, wrapped up in their own little bubble.Cast had her pulled against him, whispering something that made her shoulders shake with quiet laughter. Their heads tilted together, foreheads brushing occasionally, like they couldn't bear the thought of any distance.I told myself to be happy for them. They deserved it, after everything. But no matter how hard I tried, the sight made something twist inside me.Lila sat beside me, her hand resting lightly in mine, but it might as well have been someone else's hand for all the connection I felt. Her grip barely registered, her fingers slack against mine. She wasn't even pretending to care about the passing scenery. Her eyes stayed fixed on the window, distant and unfocused.I could feel the anxiety radiating from her, though she tried
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 219. Not Playing
LILA - Linc returned hours later without anything other than more exhaustion and cuts and bruises all over his body. He'd tracked over the entire property inch by inch and could not find Pheobe's scent anywhere else but in the nursery. It was unnerving, to say the least. The house felt different tonight. I moved down the hallway, trying to settle my breathing, trying to put the pieces together. Phoebe's scent, that unmistakable presence, was still here, still staining everything with questions. And I had to get to the bottom of it before it shattered the fragile ground Linc and I were walking on.The girl who smelled like Phoebe had been with Declan earlier, changing his diaper. Feeding him, burping him, and her hands all over him all day. She'd been in that nursery all afternoon. She'd never left, according to multiple people. I walked into the room where we'd confined her. I wouldn't allow them to keep her in the cold basement. She looked up, startled, and I could see her anxiet
