Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 13. Two-Thirds
DECLAN -The road stretched out in front of us as we returned home. I sat there, still replaying every second with Gaia. Her hands in mine, the way just being near her felt like something clicked into place inside me. Every part of me where she touched tingled, like her fingerprints had burned into my skin. I could see her face every time I blinked, her eyes locking onto mine, her hands signing words that weren't even there. Her scent clung to me like it had woven itself into the air in the truck. I tried to subtly glance around, searching for where it might be coming from, but nothing in here should have smelled like her. I shifted in my seat, trying to shake it off, but it stuck to me like glue. "Did you kiss her?" Dad asked all casually. My attention snapped to him. "What? No! Wait... Why... Should I have?" That made him laugh. "You're going to shift soon," he said, still chuckling. "Then you'll know the answer to that." I frowned, staring at him like he'd just grown a seco

DECLAN - I woke to the twins arguing outside my door, their voices pushing through the walls like they had no concept of volume control."This is so unfair! We have to take the stupid bus!" Roxy's frustration carried through the hall."I'm not sitting next to Joey again. He smells like boiled eggs." Tory's disgust followed right after.I pushed myself out of bed, dragging a hand down my face. Morning light leaked through the window, but my body wasn't convinced I'd slept at all. I yanked on a shirt and threw open the door. They stood there, arms crossed, broadcasting irritation in my direction."What?" I didn't bother smoothing the roughness from my voice."Mom says you're not driving us." Roxy shot me a look like this was somehow my fault."Yeah, because apparently, you're 'too sick.'" Tory made exaggerated air quotes, adding insult to injury.I wasn't dealing with their dramatics. I shoved past them and took the stairs two at a time. Mom was already in the kitchen, packing lunches

DECLAN -I had been dead asleep, completely comfortable in Gaia's bed, when the feeling of being watched yanked me out of it. My brain took a second to catch up, still fogged with warmth and the scent of her, before I realized what had gone wrong. My dads were standing over me, radiating pure pissed-off energy."What the hell, Declan?" Linc demanded."We've been looking for you for three hours," Dad said.The room spun for a second as I sat up. Reality was hitting fast. I wasn't supposed to be here. Not by a long shot.Dad and Linc muttered to each other. They weren't looking at me. That gave me a second. I grabbed Gaia's shirt from where it was twisted in the sheets beside me and stuffed it into my pocket. The fabric smelled like her. She'd probably laugh if she saw me like this, but at this point I didn't care. The hair tie was still around my wrist, bright teal against my skin. I'd put it on without thinking. Now it felt permanent. Dad had noticed it in the truck. Linc would have

DECLAN - I lay in bed, clutching Gaia's shirt. Her scent still lingered, but it did nothing for the chaos in my head. After a while, there was a knock at the door."Declan," Mom called before opening it.I stayed put. She came in, her steps quieter than usual.She sighed. "Your dads are cracking under this, just like you. They're afraid you'll make a choice you'll regret."I shoved the shirt aside and stared at the ceiling. "Why do they think they know better than me? What should I do here, Mom? Seriously."She snorted. "You're the alpha here, Declan. Take a breath and figure out why they're hovering."It didn't take a genius. They'd always been protective. Knowing that didn't help."Doesn't matter," I muttered. "I still have to get on with my life."She eased onto the bed. "I'm Cast's fated mate, but I wasn't Linc's. And Linc… he found his fated mate while I was pregnant with your sisters."I turned my head to look at her, totally caught off guard."It was hard for him," she said. "

DECLAN - I woke up to an endless vibration shaking the nightstand. My phone buzzed nonstop. My first breath felt heavier than usual, like something in me had shifted overnight. Eighteen. My eighteenth birthday, the turning point for someone like me. People called it the alpha threshold, a time when the power starts humming under your skin, ready to test just how strong you might be.When I grabbed my phone, the screen lit up with a flood of texts from Gaia. Images, gifs, random emojis bursting with her excitement to wish me a happy birthday. All I could do was grin. This morning already felt surreal. My senses seemed more alert, my heart thudding in a deeper rhythm, my muscles faintly buzzing with this new kind of energy I didn't fully understand yet.Without overthinking, I hit the video call button. She answered almost immediately, her face filling the screen. She leaned over her vanity, applying mascara with a steady hand with her phone propped up at an angle so she could see her

Suki stood at the edge of the yard, bathed in the soft glow of the porch lights, looking like she'd stepped straight out of a dream. Her skin almost shimmered, like she was backlit, her dark hair smoothed into perfect waves that framed her face. The dress clung to her curves, a silky, midnight blue that caught the light with every tiny movement. Makeup flawless, lips a deep red, eyes sharp and lined just enough to make them even more intense. Her heels were high enough to make her legs look like they went on forever, and for the first time in forever, she wasn't covered in dirt or sweat. She wasn't wild or chaotic. She was… perfect.And I had no idea who the hell she was.The Suki I knew was almost always naked, her hair a tangled mess, dirt smeared on her skin like it belonged there. She was loud, sharp, impossible to ignore, like a wild animal that refused to be tamed. But this girl? This wasn't her. This was someone else entirely.She looked at me and smiled.It hit me like.She kn

Gaia watched like she was trying to figure out if I was about to lose it entirely or if I had some other plan. I probably looked like I was about to strip down right there, and the way she watched me like she wasn't sure what to expect only fueled the chaos spiraling inside me.I signed fast, my hands shaky. "I just wanted to impress you." I cracked my knuckles to try to stop them from shaking. "Now that you're here, I don't need it anymore."Gaia just smiled. She signed back slowly, "You've always impressed me." She stood there, almost like she wasn't sure if she should reach for me or wait for me to fall apart first.That broke something in me. I crossed the room in two steps, my chest aching like it was going to split open, and pulled her into me. I kissed her hard, desperate, like maybe if I held onto her long enough, everything would stop spiraling.She kissed me back without hesitation, grabbing at my shirt like letting go wasn't an option. Her lips were warm against mine, soft

DECLAN - I could barely hear my own breathing over the thunder of my heartbeat. Part of me, the unsure teenage boy who'd never done anything like this before, wanted to run. The other part, the part that felt like a wolf scratching at the walls of my chest, refused to back down. I needed her."Come on," I mumbled in her face. I laced my fingers through hers and led her back to my bedroom. It felt surreal. My legs wobbled, my thoughts stumbling over themselves. I forced myself to keep moving. I had to pretend I knew exactly what I was doing.Once inside, the door clicked shut. I swallowed, nerves zinging through me like electric sparks. For a second, I stood there, unsure how to start. Then that alpha urge kicked in again. I needed her close.I reached for her waist, tentatively at first. She leaned into me, giving me the courage to keep going. I tugged her with me toward the bed. My hands shook, but I was determined. I didn't give her another chance to pull away. As soon as we hit t

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
