Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 163. Answers
LINC - I woke up in the late afternoon. My body ached in places I didn't know could ache, and the dull throbbing headache and exhaustion still clung to me. Lila lay curled in Cast's arms, both of them completely out. Her hair fanned across his face, and his arm was wrapped around her protectively. I understood now more than ever why they were still so connected. The smell of dried sweat and dirt hit me. It clung to my skin, a reminder of everything I'd put my body through the night before. I couldn't stay in bed like this, not when I could barely stand to be near myself. Slowly, I swung my legs off the bed and stood, ignoring how my knees threatened to give out. The bassinet moving caught my eye, and I walked over, drawn to the soft sounds coming from inside it. Declan lay there, his bright eyes staring up at me, wide awake and calm. He kicked his little legs and looked up at me with what looked like a grin. Just the fact that he was so happy to see me still made everything el

CAST - I woke up pissed. The kind of pissed that made my blood feel hot and my jaw clench before I’d even sat up. Last night, I had been too focused on keeping Lila and Linc safe, on making sure Linc didn’t tear the whole damn territory apart. But now it hit me once I had some rest. That punk had the nerve to show up here, sneaking around like he owned the place.I swung my legs off the bed. Linc and Lila weren’t in the room. I figured they’d gotten up with Declan. Fine. I knew where I needed to be.The basement door creaked as I pushed it open, heading down the steps two at a time. The air was colder down there, the stone walls holding the chill, but the kid in the cage didn’t seem bothered. He was sitting on the floor, his arms wrapped around his knees, looking more bored than worried. Like he had nothing to worry about. His scrawny body didn’t scream threat, but his attitude grated on me the second I saw him. He barely flinched when I grabbed the chair from the corner and slammed

LILA - Dinner with the guys was always entertaining, mostly because feeding two alphas was like preparing food for an army. Add baby alpha Declan into the mix, and it felt like I'd spent the last half hour running a restaurant kitchen. I expected this hunger level after the energy they both poured out last night. Linc hadn't stopped moving for hours. He tore at the ground, the walls, and anything else in reach, his wolf desperate to get to the threat. Cast had done the unthinkable, forcing his shift back to human in record time, something no one would willingly endure unless there were no other choice. Then he pushed through the pain he had to be feeling with every movement to make sure I was safe. To make sure the girls and I were safe. Five alphas. That's what I was feeding now. I glanced at the two of them sitting at the bar, attempting to feed Declan a smooshed-up grape. They were finally still for once as they focused on our son, who growled and resisted the new foo

I headed upstairs, following the sound of splashing water and Declan’s delighted squeals. When I stepped into the bathroom, I found all three of my guys crowded around the tub. Declan sat in the middle of the bath, splashing and babbling while Linc knelt beside the tub and Cast leaned over from the other side, both of them soaked from the chaos.“That bad?” I asked, leaning against the doorframe with a grin.Linc looked up, water dripping from his sleeve. “The diaper was more for show than function. Banana aftermath. Don’t ask.”Cast laughed, grabbing a washcloth to wipe the water Declan had just splashed into his face. “We figured a full scrub-down was easier than dealing with the mess.”Declan smacked the water, sending another spray of droplets flying. I laughed as the two men groaned, trying to contain the tidal wave of destruction our son was gleefully creating.“Seems like you’ve got it handled,” I teased, stepping closer to get a better look at Declan, who was clearly having th

CAST - Lila was persistent. That much had become painfully clear over the last week. She had taken to calling the kid Jaed, and somehow, Linc had started using it too, probably because she softened him with every meal, every gentle nudge to "see the potential" in the scrawny former threat. I wasn't buying it yet. The kid had tried to hurt my family. The only reason he hadn't touched Declan was that he'd mistakenly thought my son would smell like Linc. That wasn't heroics; it was a miscalculation.We were in Linc's office, the three of us, Declan perched on his stomach on a blanket in the middle of the floor. Lila leaned back against the couch, her arms crossed as she argued her point for the hundredth time. Linc looked like he was trying not to get drawn in, which wasn't going well. I kept my stance firm, arms crossed, glaring at the wall instead of her."He's putting on weight," Lila said. "He's less shaky, and he's been polite to everyone...""Polite isn't enough," I interrupted.

LILA - The kitchen smelled like vanilla and lemon polish. Balloons and streamers sat in half-unwrapped piles on the counter, waiting to transform the space. Selena was coming home today. A part of me wanted to be happy about it, to welcome her back like nothing had changed. The rest of me wasn't sure what the hell I was supposed to feel. I glanced at Cast and Jaed working across the room. Cast had Jaed stringing lights along the exposed beams, keeping a close watch on him. Jaed's cuffs clinked faintly with each stretch and adjustment. They weren't tight, just enough to remind him not to screw up. Cast hadn't said it outright, but I knew what this was. A test for Jaed. Cast was giving him a chance, something he'd rarely been given when he was that age. Maybe this kid would figure it out before he went too far down a dark path. Cast hadn't been that lucky. Jaed shifted on the ladder, reaching for another hook. Cast didn't look away from him, not even once. "You're doing good,"

SELENA - Rehab had been my salvation. I'd fought against it in the beginning, kicking and screaming, literally, on the day Linc dragged me there. But months of therapy, medications I once scoffed at, and hours of staring down my own darkness had pulled me out of the pit I'd fallen into. Dr. Tessa was relentless, but she believed in me when I didn't. And Linc… he was my savior, refusing to let me disappear even when I wanted to. I wasn't the same person who left this house, shattered after killing my adopted brother when he tried to take from me what no one had the right to touch. I didn't feel whole yet but felt solid enough to stand again.Coming back to the pack house was like stepping into another life. Lila had gone all out to make it feel welcoming. The smell of fresh bread and roasted meat filled the air as we walked in, all my favorites. It should have felt perfect. But the moment I stepped inside and locked eyes with him, everything else faded.A young blonde guy stood at t

CAST - The basement felt odd as I walked down the steps. The air carried a stillness that prickled under my skin. Something was off. Jaed wasn't moving around in his cage like he usually did, and the faint, restless sounds he made were missing. As I turned the corner, I froze.Selena was on the far side of the cage, her arms threaded through the bars. Jaed stood close, their bodies tangled together like magnets. I barely had time to process what I saw before she leaned in and kissed him. My blood boiled instantly."What the hell is going on here?" Selena jumped back like she'd been burned. Jaed stepped away, retreating toward the cot."What are you doing?" I stepped closer. "Slutting it up with the prisoner? Really, Selena? Have you lost your damn mind?"She opened her mouth, but I didn't let her speak. "You think this is okay? You're not corrupting him. Whatever game you think you're playing ends now."Jaed's fists clenched at his sides as he stepped forward. "Stop talking to her l

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

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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 218. Find Her
LINC - Phoebe's scent hit me hard, sharper, and more potent than ever before. It nearly dropped me where I stood, my wolf surging to the surface in chaotic waves. It rooted itself in my instincts and refused to let go. My entire body reacted violently, muscles tensing as my wolf clawed for control. I wanted to fight it, to reject every maddening urge it awakened, but the instincts were overwhelming. All I could think about was the need to hunt, to claim, to dominate. I hated all of it.The basement air carried the acrid tang of lingering shifts. The full moon always left its mark, draining energy from our bodies and our minds. I didn't want Lila away from me during the shift, but the plan had been the safest for everyone. She'd stayed upstairs with Declan while Cast and I had been confined below, locked in the reinforced cells to ensure no one else bore the brunt of our transformations.As my limbs ached from the shift, the exhaustion was intense. Knowing Declan was safe upstairs h
