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

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

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

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

LINC - Declan whined in my arms, squirming restlessly as I paced the living room. I tried everything to calm him. Bouncing, singing to him, rubbing his back, but nothing seemed to work. His little body was too warm, his face flushed, and I was running out of ideas.Cast and Lila were still passed out in the bed. Selena and Jaed had abandoned me hours ago because they were worried about catching it, and even Wady seemed to be at her wit's end. The knock at the door felt like a lifeline. I practically lunged toward it, juggling Declan as I swung it open.A woman stood on the porch, her dark brown hair pulled back and a large medical bag slung over her shoulder. She looked young, but all the healers had made it clear she knew what she was doing."I'm Katherine Chelsea," she paused and smiled. "You can call me Kat."I stepped back to let her in, nodding toward the couch. "Thanks for coming. I wasn't sure what else to do. Lila's been out of it, and Declan won't settle. I didn't want to

CAST -It was too late to do anything about it when I realized I was sick. The virus hit hard, just like I knew it would. My body burned, my head felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and my energy had vanished. I spent 99% of the time in bed with Lila, not that I was complaining about that part. The fever sucked, and the aches were brutal, but being tangled up with her without Linc getting all bent out of shape made it easier to ignore. On the second day, somewhere between fever dreams and reality, I began to wonder if I'd let this happen on purpose. Maybe I hadn't been as careful as I could've been when she started showing symptoms. Maybe part of me wanted this. To be right here, exactly where I was. Sick as hell, sure, but wrapped around Lila, her body pressed against mine. If this was the price, I'd pay it ten times over. Linc stayed busy, running between us and Declan, trying to keep the house from falling apart. He'd brought in that doctor. Her name was Kat. I manag

CAST -I ripped the shower curtain back, and what I saw froze every thought in my head. Lila lay crumpled in the tub. Her clothes were drenched, water cascading over her as blood mixed with it and swirled toward the drain. Her hair clung to her face, and a deep gash on her forehead sent streaks of red down her pale skin.Her lips were blue.My legs nearly gave out, but I forced myself forward and dropped to my knees beside her. I reached under her, pulling her into my arms. Her head fell against my shoulder. She was lifeless and cold. So cold.Water soaked through my clothes as I pressed my hand against the gash, trying to stop the bleeding, but it was slick and unrelenting."Linc!" My shout reverberated off the tiles, raw and desperate. "Linc, get in here! I need help!"Nothing.The silence of the house was deafening. The only sound was the rush of the shower and my ragged breaths. I stood, hauling her up with me, her limp body heavy in my arms. Water dripped from her clothes as I s

CAST - The world jolted back into focus as I woke. The room was dim. I quickly looked around, trying to orient myself. I noticed Kat standing near the IV pole. She was fiddling with it, making the metal clank fainting over and over.She glanced down at me. "Sorry, I was trying to get it apart. Didn't mean to wake you."I rubbed a hand over my face, the remnants of the nightmare still clinging to me like cobwebs. My chest felt tight, and the air in the room seemed too thin. Kat must have noticed because she paused what she was doing and sat down on the edge of the bed."What's wrong?" she asked softly."Just a bad dream," I muttered as I scanned the room again. "Where's Lila?""She's fine," Kat reassured me. "She and Linc are showering. No reason to panic."If only she knew. The thought of that dream still made my stomach churn. I leaned back against the pillows, willing myself to relax, but my forearm brushed against Kat's bare leg as I did. I pulled it back like I'd been burned."So

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
