Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 194. Wow
CAST - Lila leaned into me on the porch swing, her body soft against mine as the chains creaked with each sway. My arm rested along the back of the swing, my fingers brushing her shoulder. She shifted slightly, and I tightened my hold without thinking. Kat's car came into view. I groaned quietly, already bracing myself. She had become something of a thorn in my side, showing up often and making herself at home. Teasing me was her favorite pastime. Like clockwork, she parked, hopped out, and stretched like she owned the place. "Don't get up," she called out, waving as she approached us. "Not like you were going to anyway." Lila snorted as Kat leaned against the porch railing. "So, how's Linc? Still refusing to leave his cave?" Lila sighed, brushing her hand over her bump. "He's struggling. I've tried to get him outside like you suggested, but you know how stubborn he is." Kat smirked. "Stubborn doesn't cut it. Drag him out here. Tell him I'm not leaving until he talks to me."

CAST - Lila tugged at my sleeves, stepping back to inspect her handiwork while Selena adjusted something behind me. They both exchanged approving nods over the dark teal shirt I'd been forced into, with the charcoal jacket draped over the chair, waiting its turn."You two know how weird this is, right?" I muttered, brushing at my chest unnecessarily. "Both of you. Helping me get ready for this?"Selena grabbed the jacket and held it out while Lila straightened my collar. "It's not weird. It's practical," Selena chimed in. "You were helpless before we stepped in."I shrugged into the jacket. "Helpless might be a stretch. I can dress myself, you know."Lila crossed her arms. "Can you? Because if you'd walked out in that old Metallica shirt, I'd have disowned you."Selena grabbed a comb, stepping closer to fix my hair. I groaned but stayed still as she worked. "Why are you so into this?" I grumbled."It's exciting," Selena replied. "You're going on a real date with someone who's not us.

CAST - We finished dinner inside. Kat had a way of keeping me on my toes, quick to challenge me but never in a way that felt hostile. She was human, yet she didn't seem even remotely intimidated by me or the world I came from.It was...unexpected. Wolves weren't usually drawn to humans like this, but I couldn't deny the pull. She made me feel seen in a way I wasn't used to, and that scared me as much as it thrilled me.After we cleared the plates, she leaned against the counter, arms crossed, watching me dry the last dish. "You're surprisingly domestic. Is that your secret talent?""Don't get used to it," I shot back, tossing the towel over my shoulder. "I'm just trying to make a good impression."Her laugh was warm and unguarded. "Oh, so this is special treatment? Noted."I stepped closer, resting my hands on the counter on either side of her. She didn't back away, meeting my eyes with a challenge I couldn't ignore. "Would it kill you to admit I'm doing okay so far?"She smirked, a

CAST - "Okay," she replied slowly."I wasn't thinking earlier and had some wine," I admitted. "I didn't mean to, but it kind of snuck up on me. I don't feel drunk or anything, but I don't want to risk driving. I'll head back in the morning."There was silence, and I rushed to fill it. "I feel bad, though. Leaving you alone with Linc when he's still sick. I mean, not alone alone, but you know what I mean. He's not at his best, and I should be there to help. I just...""Cast." She interrupted my rambling. "It's okay."I paused, my grip tightening on the phone. "You sure?""I'm a little sad," she admitted softly. "I won't lie about that. I'm sad, but I'm also so happy for you. You're connecting with someone new, and she's good for you. I've been waiting for this.""It's not that simple.""It can be," she murmured. "Lean into it. Don't shy away from her tonight. Let yourself connect, really connect. You deserve this."I swallowed hard. "Will you be okay?""I will," she promised. "And so

I groaned softly, leaning my head back against the couch as she pressed her lips to my skin. I gripped her hips, torn between holding her still and letting her move however she wanted. She kissed my collarbone and slipped the last button free. She pushed my shirt open, exposing my chest, and trailed her lips lower, following the path she had started with her hands.She kept stroking me, her touch growing firmer and more purposeful. I moved my hips involuntarily, trying to match the rhythm she was setting. When she reached the waistband of my pants, she paused and glanced up, teasing me with a look that made my breath catch."You okay up there?" she asked, the playful lilt unmistakable."I'm not going to survive this," I muttered, letting out a laugh that felt more like surrender.She undid my pants effortlessly, freeing me from the unbearable restraint. She wrapped her hand around me, her grip unrelenting as she stroked skin against skin this time. The intensity of the sensation left

CAST - Inch by inch, I sank into her, her body stretching to accommodate me. The sight alone was enough to drive me wild...watching the way she took me, how her body trembled as I pushed deeper."Kat," I groaned, my voice barely more than a growl. "You feel...incredible."She leaned back slightly, her movement forcing me even deeper, and I let out a guttural sound, gripping her hips tighter. She turned her head, her lips finding mine briefly before whispering, "Then don't stop."So, I didn't. I growled softly, my hands gripping her hips as I kept moving. Every inch of her seemed designed to drive me mad. The way she tightened around me and drew me deeper. I bit down on my lip hard enough to taste blood, forcing myself to keep my pace slow.As long as I watched, I could control it. My eyes locked on the way I disappeared into her, inch by inch, then reappeared as I pulled back. The rhythm hypnotized me, and I clung to it like a lifeline, letting it maintain my control. But the moment

LILA -After I hung up with Cast, I stayed frozen on the edge of the bed, the phone still clutched in my hand. I kept staring at his contact photo as if holding onto that last sliver of connection to him would change anything. He was staying the night with Kat. I knew what that meant. I wasn't naive. I filled in the gaps easily, too easily, and each detail broke me a little more.I fought the tears threatening to spill over, but they came anyway.I loved him. I loved him so much it felt like a part of me was being carved out, leaving behind an emptiness I didn't know how to fill. But I couldn't keep him tethered to me when he needed this. Needed someone who wasn't wrapped up in the tangled mess of my own life. He deserved to move forward, to find his own happiness. I had to let him go, even if it felt like it was breaking me in the process.I slipped back under the covers, pressing against Linc's back. His steady breathing comforted me, pulling me out of the spiraling thoughts in my

LINC -Lila was on top of me, her head tucked beneath my chin, her body rising and falling gently with each breath. She'd fallen asleep in my arms hours ago after we'd spent most of the night just kissing. I didn't dare move her. She needed this. Needed the connection, the steadiness of feeling something solid while the foundation of what we'd built shifted yet again. Kissing her had been the only way to keep her from crying, from letting her thoughts spiral into places she didn't need to go.I knew this would be hard for her. I'd expected her to need me like this when Cast finally stepped up and started finding his way. What I hadn't anticipated was recovering from this damn illness while everything else unraveled. Still, the sickness brought Kat to our door, so I couldn't be too bitter about it.Morning came, and Lila shifted, sliding off me and settling onto the bed beside me. I sat up, leaning back against the headboard as she stretched and got up. She walked across the room, gra

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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 92. Wait
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,
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 89. She Was Right
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
