Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 168. Trouble For Me
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

SELENA - The cot creaked beneath us as Jaed shifted closer again once Cast left. Cast was pissed, but I couldn't even think about that right now. Jaed slid his arm around my waist, and I forgot everything else. "We need to talk about this, I guess. I need to tell you... Well, who I am. Who I really am, not who The alphas, my dad, or the world in general thinks I am. I kind of feel like this is the first time I can tell someone who I really am. No matter how much baggage it comes with. Wow... Is that mate bond making it this easy to talk to you about hard shit, or is that... Just you?" I tilted my head slightly, catching his eyes for a fleeting moment before I looked down. "Not tonight," I murmured, resting my hand on his chest. "Let's just… let's just let this be tonight. Before real life ruins it." He didn't argue. He sighed and nodded. "Okay," he replied. His arm tightened, pulling me closer until I was nearly tucked into him. The blankets twisted between us, and I laughed quie

LILA - I woke up to soft laughter drifting from the nursery. The sound pulled me from sleep, and I pushed the blankets aside. Declan's giggles carried into the hallway. I found Cast kneeling by the changing table, fumbling with the snaps on Declan's onesie as he tried to pick up the container of wipes Declan had knocked to the floor.Declan wasn't making it easy for him, wriggling like he was trying to escape. Cast groaned softly, muttering something under his breath as he reached for another diaper. Declan kicked his legs, laughing like this was all some kind of game.I leaned against the doorway and crossed my arms. "I'm surprised he didn't wake me," I said, watching Cast give up on the diaper to tickle Declan's stomach.Cast glanced over his shoulder. "He wasn't making any noise. I just came in to check on him and found him lying here, wide awake, staring at me like I owed him an explanation for something."I walked over, gently taking over as Declan's tiny hands reached out to gr
Last Updated : 2024-11-19Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 173. Nothing To Fight
CAST - I stormed out of the nursery with what Lila said still ringing in my ears. I couldn't stay in the pack house any longer. It was suffocating. Every corner reminded me of how out of place I was. I didn't belong here. Not really. But then again, did I really belong anywhere at this point?I headed to the pool house, hoping it would bring some sense of normalcy, some comfort I couldn't seem to find anymore. As I walked through the door, the familiar space filled with my things greeted me, but I felt an emptiness I couldn't shake instead of relief. The silence was unbearable. I sat on the edge of the bed for a minute, staring at the floor, waiting for the feeling to pass. It didn't.This place used to feel like home. A safe retreat when everything else was too much. But now? It felt hollow. I stood up, frustrated, and left without looking back.Back at the pack house, I wandered aimlessly, pacing the halls like I was searching for something. The kitchen. The sitting room. Eve

LILA - I carried Declan to the bedroom, his little body warm and snug against me. He played with the fabric of my shirt as I pushed the door open with my hip. Linc lay sprawled on the bed, his snores loud enough to compete with the air conditioner. I climbed onto the bed and settled Declan between us. He squirmed a little before rolling toward Linc and grabbing at Linc's chest.Declan's fingers curled into the sparse hair there and tugged. Hard. Linc grumbled in his sleep, muttering something unintelligible before one eye cracked open. He looked down at the little boy and grinned, clearly groggy but amused."Well, good morning to you," Linc mumbled, still half-asleep. Declan giggled and hugged again. Linc caught his hand and pulled it away. "What is this, your new thing? Hair-pulling?"Declan squealed, and Linc chuckled. He brushed at Declan's curls. "I'll wake up like this every morning, little man. The only thing better is if your mama's in my arms, too."I tried to smile, but the

LINC - I finally caved and let Cast move into the bedroom. Not because I wanted him there, not because it was the logical thing to do, but because it was the easiest way to manage everything without losing my damn mind. If he was in the room, I didn’t have to wonder what he and Lila were doing when I wasn’t around. I didn’t have to deal with the nagging questions or my temper showing up at the worst times. No matter what they were doing, whether it was holding hands or kissing, it pretty much felt the same to me. The funny thing was they seemed to go out of their way to avoid touching me when I was around. It was almost ridiculous, like some unspoken agreement to keep their distance while I was watching. The only exception was when they drifted together in their sleep, like magnets that couldn’t help but pull toward each other. I wondered if that would change once Cast was in here full-time. Would they let their guard down when I wasn’t paying attention? Or would they keep pretend

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
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
