175. Break Him

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    176.

    SELENA - Linc still kept us under guard, even after we were moved out of the cage and into a regular room. The guards loitered just outside the door, their presence impossible to ignore. Every now and then, I caught the murmur of their conversation or the faint sound of their boots shifting on the hardwood. It wasn't freedom, not entirely, but it was better than the basement. I didn't complain. I couldn't. Being with Jaed made it worth tolerating everything else.The bond between us was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. The pull wasn't just physical, though that was undeniable. It was deeper, something primal that connected me to him in ways I didn't fully understand yet. The intensity of it scared me. I'd known him for less than two days, but every glance, every touch, made me feel like I'd been waiting my entire life for him. Being away from him, even for a few minutes, felt wrong. Like I'd left a piece of myself behind.The decision was easy when Cast came in and told me to p

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    177. Bite

    SELENA - I pressed my hands against his chest and pushed him gently back onto the bed. The movement caught him off guard, and he grunted in surprise as his back hit the mattress. His wide-eyed look made my entire body hum, but I didn't pause. I climbed over him, my knees settling on either side of his hips as I leaned down to undo his pants. I worked quickly at the button, and my fingers brushed against his lower stomach as I did. I felt his breath hitch beneath me. He didn't resist. His body stayed tense, but he lifted his hips slightly to help me slide his pants down. I trailed over him, taking in every detail, much like he did with me. He was already hard, his cock standing rigid, a bead of precum glistening at the tip. I smirked as I wrapped my hand around him. He twitched under my touch, his breathing uneven, and I felt the tension in his thighs as he tried to hold himself still. I leaned forward slowly, letting my tongue flick against him first, tasting the salty slickness

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    178. Wouldn't Last

    CAST - Lila slept between us last night. Her back pressed against me while her head rested lightly on Declan, curled against her chest. It should have been a regular night. Peaceful, even, but the strain was impossible to ignore. Sharing a bed with Linc was awkward at best and suffocating at worst. Every shift of the mattress, every small sound, felt like a challenge to see which of us would crack first. I stayed still, staring at the ceiling, counting the seconds until morning.When dawn crept through the curtains, Lila stirred. She mumbled something I didn’t catch before slipping out of bed, careful not to wake Declan as she moved him from the bassinet to where she had been lying between us. I watched her move toward the bathroom, grabbing her robe and heading for the shower. Linc shifted on the other side of the bed, turning toward me slightly. I thought he might say something for a second, but instead, he scoffed and rolled onto his back. Declan stretched in his sleep, his tiny

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    179. A Threat?

    LINC - Just getting dressed wasn't going well. My shirt didn't sit right, and the buttons on my cuffs fought me every step of the way. I tugged the collar, muttering under my breath as I glanced at the stack of papers on my desk. Meetings, approvals, and tours for the empty apartments. Another full day. The apartments had been vacant for too long. When I took over, many of the old ways, and the people clinging to them, left. Most of those who bailed were men who couldn't stomach the idea of change. Now, we had fifteen empty units scattered across the land, ready to be filled. I decided to open them to anyone from Roman or Oxford packs, which should've been simple. A clear, logical solution. Of course, nothing was ever that easy. I grabbed my jacket off the back of the chair when the door slammed open. Selena marched in without knocking, her face pale, her hands twisting at her sides like she didn't know where to put them. "Selena," I snapped, shrugging into the jacket. "Does n

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    180. Energy To Fight It

    LILA - By the time I stumbled through the door, everything in me screamed to collapse right where I stood. My backpack slipped from my shoulder and hit the floor with a thud that echoed louder than I expected. My muscles ached from hours of sitting through lectures, the stiff chairs doing me no favors. The quiet house wasn't comforting. It wasn't peace. It was the kind of quiet that warned of brewing chaos, waiting for the right moment to erupt.I glanced around as I kicked off my shoes near the couch. Toys were scattered everywhere, and Declan's cars and blocks made a colorful minefield. I spotted one of his stuffed animals face-down in front of the TV, its floppy ear twisted to make it look just as done with the day as I felt. The faint hum of voices drifted from the kitchen, low and tense. The urge to escape to my room hit hard, but I barely managed two steps before Cast appeared in the hallway."You're home," he said, looking like he hadn't stopped moving for hours. His shirt wa

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    181.

    CAST - Lila had barely stepped through the door when she snapped at us, exhaustion written in the way she moved and spoke. She had no idea how desperate we'd been for her to get there. Declan had been acting so strange all day, fussing and squirming like he couldn't get comfortable. He'd barely eaten and barely napped, and nothing we did seemed to help. By the time she got home, we were both at the end of our ropes, hoping she'd have some maternal magic that could fix whatever was wrong.Instead, she told us off. Told us to talk to each other and leave her out of it. Then she disappeared into the bedroom and slammed the door, leaving us standing there like idiots with Declan still fussing in my arms.I wanted to be mad at her, but I couldn't. Not really. She'd been running on fumes for weeks, balancing school, us, and Declan. Still, it hurt to see her shut down when we needed her. Declan seemed to sense it, too. He let out a whine and buried his face in my chest, his tiny body hot

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    182. Dead On Your Feet

    CAST - The house had been loud earlier, but now it was quiet. The kind of quiet that made you feel like you were missing something important. I paced the living room, Declan squirming against my chest. His cries weren’t sharp or panicked, just tired and constant, a pitiful noise that made my chest ache. His little body burned like a furnace, and I couldn’t shake the feeling I should have done something sooner.I bounced him gently, trying to give him the comfort he couldn’t seem to find. His tiny hands tugged weakly at my shirt, his face pressed against my chest. His breathing was too quick, each inhale shallow. The sound of it made me swallow back the knot of guilt building in my throat. He had been fussy all day, but I’d chalked it up to him being a toddler. Kids cried. They threw tantrums. I’d thought he just needed some extra attention. Now, though, it was clear this wasn’t normal.He whimpered again as I carried him into the kitchen. I thought about grabbing some water but could

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    183. Rush Over

    LINC -The house felt more like a battlefield than a home. Two days into everyone being sick, and I was running on nothing but coffee and sheer determination. Declan was miserable, whining and restless in Selena’s arms as she paced the hallway, trying to get him to take a bottle. Lila and Cast were wrapped around each other in the bed, both drenched in sweat and completely out of it. I didn’t know how they could stand it, tangled together when they were both burning up, but they clung to each other like they’d fall apart otherwise.Selena’s steps echoed faintly as she murmured something to Declan. I leaned against the doorframe, watching her struggle. He turned his face away from the bottle again, his little hands batting weakly at it. His small whimpers clawed at me, but there wasn’t much more I could do for him right now. Selena caught my eye and shook her head.“He’s not eating,” she said. “I think he’s too congested.”I nodded, pushing away from the doorframe. “Keep trying. If he

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 95. This Was It

    DECLAN - We took the long way back to the packhouse. It took far longer than the ten minutes I'd agreed to. Suki was going to give me hell for that. She’d probably time it down to the second and bring it up at dinner, then again at breakfast. I was already prepared to ignore the first three times before I gave in to whatever atonement she had planned. Honestly, I was looking forward to the punishment. Gaia and I fell into old habits. She challenged me to spot tree knots shaped like animals. I told her she was making them up when she did. She called me arbitrary and pronounced it correctly. I lobbed a pinecone at her head. She caught it, grinned, and tucked it into my hood when I wasn't looking. It was familiar. Just two people who used to know every inch of each other, finding the quiet rhythm again without forcing it. When the porch came into view, I slowed. "You and Dorian should stay," I paused. "The east wing at the Roman packhouse is yours if you want it. No strings. Just.

    DECLAN - "I'm sorry." I looked over. She kept her eyes forward. Hands shoved into the front pocket of her hoodie. Shoulders stiff. We walked side by side. The trees closed in around us while the porch lights faded behind. Neither of us said anything for a long time. Our feet crunched through the undergrowth. The breeze rolled between us. I didn't try to close the space. Neither did she. But neither of us veered away either. The remains of the old house peeked through the trees. Blackened beams and collapsed stone still scattered across the clearing. A skeleton. A memory. "For how I rejected you. And for not telling you why." I didn't answer until we reached the house. "You didn't just reject me. You vanished." She flinched. "I know." "So why?" She took a deep breath and stopped walking. Her eyes stayed on what was left of the front steps. "I'd gotten the call. The implant was finally approved, and they found a werewolf doctor who could do it. It was scheduled. It was final

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 93. So That's A Yes

    DECLAN - That was her fated mate.It was written in the way he tracked her every move, in how he hovered just close enough to guard but not crowd. His posture said protector. His eyes, sharp and constantly scanning, said no one would get within reach unless she wanted them to. He moved like he'd been made for that role. Like every instinct in his body had clicked into place the moment he met her.He moved like he already belonged next to her.Judson finally spoke. "This going to be a thing now? Fated mates falling out of the sky onto your porch?" Then he squinted. "Wait. No way. Dorian?"The other man stepped forward, arms crossed. "Judson."Judson huffed. "Damn, talk about the sky falling. Of course it's you."Gaia looked between them. "Wait. How do you know him?"Judson tilted his head toward Dorian but didn't look away. "Med school. He was top of the class. Never let anyone forget it. Ever."Dorian crossed his arms. "And you were always one sarcastic comment away from getting kic

    DECLAN - "You're not gonna pout if I drink the last one, are you?"Judson didn't even glance over. "Only if you waste it."I reached for the bottle closest to him, smirking when he didn't try to stop me.Crickets chirped loudly in the trees. The house behind us had finally gone still. It was peaceful.A lazy row of empty beer bottles lined the railing like some halfhearted scoreboard. Judson leaned back again, one ankle hooked over the other, shoulders loose. That rare kind of settled that only happened when nothing needed to be said.We were both quiet. Not the kind of silence that needed filling, just the kind that held space. The kind that made it really easy to notice how much I liked having him here. Judson wasn't soft, but he didn't crowd either. There was something about the way he held space, like he understood exactly how not to mess it up. I hadn't realized how rare that was until I felt it.Until headlights swept across the tree line.Judson didn't move, but I straightened

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 91. My Second

    DECLAN - I squinted. "So... you left your pack?"Judson shook his head. "Not really. My sister's mate stepped in. Human guy, believe it or not. Doctor. Weirdly chill. He helps now with the medical side, which freed me up to go to college and train properly. They all said it made sense. I guess... I just haven't thought much about what I was gonna do after."He paused, then shrugged. "Now I get it. I wasn't supposed to leave the South yet. I was supposed to be here. Meeting her. If I'd been back in North Carolina, this wouldn't have happened. Or it would've taken years."He looked out toward the trees. "So no. I didn't leave them. I just followed where I was needed next."I blinked. "You live on the Riverwalk."He grinned. "I know. Kind of perfect, right? It's loud on the weekends and peaceful at sunrise. Plus, amazing food within walking distance."I stared at him.He raised his bottle. "Look, I didn't plan to meet my mate while helping chart bloodwork samples in a borrowed lab, but

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 90. Not Even A Little

    DECLAN -When we pulled into the driveway, Dad and Linc were already waiting.They didn't speak, but I felt something in the way they stood there. At the time, I'd figured they were just sizing up Judson, doing the protective dad routine. But now, after everything Judson had said, it clicked in a way that made my chest feel too tight.They already knew.Not just about Judson. About what he might be. About how important he was going to be. Just like they'd known about Mom. Just like they'd kept it all quiet. For me.I'd spent so long thinking I was figuring all of this out on my own. That the timing was random, or fate, or whatever the hell else. But maybe it wasn't. Maybe Cassy hadn't just guided me.Maybe my whole damn family had. Perhaps they'd been walking beside me the entire time, keeping quiet so I could come to it on my own.Judson wasn't the surprise.I was.They stood at the edge of the porch, arms crossed, matching unreadable expressions locked in place. The second we still,

    I stepped forward and stifled the growl as best I could. "Hey. Get up. Now!"The guy startled awake. "What?"Tory shot up in the bed, wide-eyed. "Declan, no! No, wait! This is... this is Judson."She looked panicked. But not afraid. Not at all."He's... he's my..."I stopped. Everything shifted. I looked at her. Looked at him. Looked back."You're mate."She nodded.I took a breath. Held it. Then stepped forward and stuck out my hand. Judson stood, still looking like he expected me to deck him. He shook my hand. I shook his harder.Tory glanced between us, then spoke up. "He's a nurse practitioner here. Was walking past the ICU when I first came in. Caught my scent in the hallway and almost dropped his coffee."Judson rubbed his hand where I'd gripped it "I tried to play it cool. Avoided eye contact, walked the long way around, you know, the usual 'don't poke the angry fathers and big brother' protocol. I thought I was being slick about it too. Barely even looked at her. Just nodded a

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 88. I Saw Red

    We didn’t leave the woods.Not that day. Not that night. I didn’t want to, and neither did she.We ran until our legs trembled. We played, circling and snapping at each other’s heels, tackling and wrestling in the mossy patches of clearing. We swam again, slower this time, more tangled up in each other than anything else. We lay in the grass and the sun, curled together, drowsy and content.And then we shifted.Over and over.Human, wolf, back again. Each shift smoother than the last. No moon. No pain. Not really. Not like the pain I had braced for my entire life. Just choice. Pure choice and ability. The power that came with it was almost addictive. I always wondered what they meant when saying the power overtook the pain. It was raw. It was strong. I loved it.And I loved her.We didn’t talk much, not out loud. But we didn’t need to. We were in each other's heads and had no plans to leave. When we shifted back to skin, we couldn’t stop touching. Couldn’t stop reaching. It was like

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 87. Permanent

    It hit all at once.One second I was halfway to my knees, still trying to breathe through the pull of her shift. The next, my ribs cracked outward and my body folded. I didn't fall. I collapsed.The pain was nothing like the moon-forced change I'd endured before. This wasn't guided or timed. This was raw. A hundred fractures all at once, my limbs pulling and twisting, muscles screaming as they rearranged.I couldn't stop the sound that tore out of my throat."Cassy!"I didn't even know what I was asking. Just that I was begging. My mind reached for her. I was desperate and frantic.Her voice came, faint and steady."You're never selfish, so you would've never asked."Bones popped in my jaw. My fingers stretched, then broke, shifting in crooked bursts. I slammed my hand into the dirt and gritted my teeth against the next snap. My skin burned. My eyes blurred.Oh shit.Did she make me...Cassy... Did you do this?Another bone cracked somewhere deep in my back, cutting the thought in hal
