DECLAN -

The wolf's weight pressed into my chest, its breath hot and heavy against my skin. I didn't flinch. We'd been here before, more times than I could count.

"Get off me," I muttered, glaring up at the massive black wolf.

It hesitated, a low growl rumbling in its throat, eyes locked onto mine like it was daring me to push my luck. When I didn't, she leaned in, snapping her jaws just inches from my face. I thought she'd ignore me, maybe even pin me down harder, but then she stepped back, claws dragging against the dirt near my head like she wanted me to know she could've done worse.

I let out a sharp breath, pushing myself to my feet. I brushed the dirt from my jeans like her little stunt hadn't bothered me, but it had. Still, the last thing I needed was to give her satisfaction.

"Shift back," I snapped, crossing my arms over my chest. "I'm not talking to you like this."

The wolf's eyes gleamed with something between defiance and amusement. After an uneasy pause, bones cracked,

    DECLAN - Linc and Cast didn't say a word as we walked down to the training field. That silence? It was worse than any lecture they could throw at me. I knew exactly what was coming.The field stretched out in front of us, packed dirt scarred from years of sparring. A few younger pack members were already there practicing forms, but they froze when they saw us coming.Yeah, no one wanted to get caught in the middle of whatever was about to go down."Shirt off," Cast ordered.I groaned but didn't argue. What was the point? I yanked off my spare shirt, tossing it to the side. The breeze hit my skin, cool against the leftover heat from my earlier run-in with Suki. I could feel her watching from the shadows at the tree line like she always did. I didn't have to see her to know. She was there."You know why you're here," Linc added, arms crossed over his chest. His light hair caught the fading sun, making him look deceptively calm.I nodded. "Yeah.""You want to tell us what the hell you w

    DECLAN - I made a beeline for the stairs, ignoring the ache in my muscles from the training field. The shower was all I could think about, but even as the cold water hit my skin, it didn't help. The heat inside me was worse. Too hot. Too demanding. Like my skin was stretched too tight over something bigger.The moon wasn't even full yet. Still a few days off. Not that it mattered. I wasn't supposed to shift since I hadn't had my birthday yet. I really hoped it wouldn't feel like this for an entire cycle. I may die before the next full moon. I kept replaying everything from today like it was stuck on a loop. The cafeteria fight wasn't just some random outburst. I saw that guy from the bear pack, all smug, thinking he had the right to put his arm around that younger girl like she didn't have a choice. She was uncomfortable, trying to pull away, but he wouldn't let up. Something snapped in me. I didn't think. I just acted. The moment my fist connected with his face and I saw his nose b

    DECLAN - She refused to spare me another look as she hurried to the front door. I followed her with my eyes until she reached the front door. Her hands moved in clipped signs toward Aunt Selena."I want to leave soon," Gaia signed. Aunt Selena barely glanced up from her chat with Mom. "Walk home. We're staying. Dad and Linc have a few tasks." Gaia paused for a moment, then grabbed her jacket and walked outside. She made no apology for the abrupt exit. No apology for ignoring me. I felt an agitated warmth spread under my skin, an urge I couldn't dismiss. She had refused to speak to me again. I wasn't letting that happen.I moved toward the porch. She was halfway down the steps. I stomped forward, cutting her off before she reached the yard. She folded her arms, trying to slip around me, but I shifted to stay in her path."What's wrong?" I signed, blocking her from going any farther.She tried to move sideways. I refused to budge. "Gaia," I repeated, shaping the signs with more force

    DECLAN - I couldn't stand it any longer. Staying in the house felt like being trapped in a cage, and every second I spent there made it harder to breathe. At least I didn't have school tomorrow. They always gave us the day off before the full moon and the day of, like that was supposed to make it easier. I was happy to have two days off, sure, but I wasn't ready for the full moon. Not even close. I would either shift for the first time or realize I would deal with this heat for 30 more days. I threw on a hoodie and some old jeans, trying to ignore the burning sensation creeping through me. The idea of talking to the spirits made my stomach churn, but anything was better than sitting here with this heat. The walk to the burned-down house felt endless. My steps were heavy like the ground itself resisted every move. The woods, usually familiar and comforting, felt different tonight. The usual sounds of nocturnal animals were absent like they knew better than to be out here. Maybe I s

    DECLAN - Waking up felt like dragging myself out of thick mud. My body refused to cooperate, my head pounding like someone had taken a hammer to it.Unfortunately, this wasn't my first time dealing with a blackout. Between training, sports, and my own dumb choices, I'd been knocked out more times than I cared to admit. Hell, at thirteen, I'd been stupid enough to challenge both my dads for Alpha, thinking I had something to prove. They warned me, but I wouldn't back down until I'd given myself a full-blown concussion. One minute, I was throwing punches like an idiot. The next, I woke up with both of them looking down at me like I was the world's biggest disappointment. Fun times. I'm sure that was exactly what was waiting for me now. But the room was too quiet. No growls. No rustling. Just silence. And the people around me… human. That much was clear. This meant that my dads weren't here, pacing the floor and coming up with fifty ways to tell me how I'd been stupid.Again.Honestly

    DECLAN -Darkness swallowed me whole, and when I surfaced, I was in my room. The walls blurred together, familiar but meaningless. Nothing felt real. My breathing came too fast, my limbs useless against the frantic energy. Gaia. She had saved me. She wasn't here. I shoved the blankets off, moving before my body caught up. "Where is she?" Mom didn't move fast enough. "Where is she?! She was just here! Where did she go? I need to see her!" I swung my legs over the side of the bed, but the second I pushed to my feet, the world rocked. Nausea tore through my stomach and up my throat, sending my balance off. My knees barely held, but I refused to stop. Gaia needed me. If she shifted without warning, she wouldn't hear the danger coming. That thought latched onto something primal, twisting deeper, clawing at my ribs. My skin. My mind. She was fast, strong, and more intelligent than most in the pack, but without her hearing, she wouldn't know if something was sneaking up on her. Sh

    DECLAN - The door clicked behind Mom as she left. I grab my phone off the nightstand. Gaia's contact was already pulled up before I could second-guess myself. I hit the video call. It rang. And rang. And rang.Nothing.I sent a quick text. 'Call me. Please.'I pressed the button again. Same thing. I switched to a regular call, thumb hovering over the green button. Halfway through, I hung up.Idiot. She's deaf.But the call would still show up on her screen. She'd see it. Maybe she'd answer. I tried again, gripping the phone tighter, willing it to ring longer. To go through. But the call ended the same way. No answer. No reply.I dropped the phone onto the bed. I paced for a few minutes before I picked it back up, hoping I'd somehow missed the notification sound. Still nothing. No answer. No missed calls. Hell, she hadn't even looked at the messages I'd sent her on social media. My fingers moved before my mind caught up.'Call me back. Please.'I waited. Nothing. The screen stayed dark

    DECLAN - Every mile carried me closer to Gaia, but it wasn't fast enough. If this went wrong, I didn't know what I'd do.Her house came into view. Dad killed the engine. We sat there, staring at the house like it was some kind of battleground. Maybe it was. The front door swung open. Jaed stepped out with his arms crossed, planted solid like he'd been waiting for me to show up.Dad moved first, stepping out with that steady, deliberate way he had when he expected a fight. I shoved my door open, boots hitting gravel almost frantically. Jaed didn't move."No." Jaed stood firm in the doorway. "He's not seeing her. We already talked about this. I'm not even sure why you would drive him out here like this. You're torturing both of them."Dad kept walking, stepping up onto the porch like Jaed hadn't spoken. They always had the oddest relationship. Perhaps now I would get the rest of the story around that as well. "We didn't come all this way to turn around," Dad said."She's not seeing hi

    Gaia lunged at him. Ian didn't move. He braced himself, standing firm as her massive form slammed into him. The force of it sent a shockwave through the ground. He held his position, absorbing the impact, pushing her back with raw strength alone. His white fur bristled. Gaia struck again, snapping at his throat, but he dodged, twisting at the last second to drive her off balance. She hit the dirt hard, paws digging into the earth as she pushed herself back up in an instant. Her entire body shook, not from exhaustion but from pure, unchecked aggression. Ian snarled, lowering his stance, but he didn't strike back. He didn't need to. He was blocking her, stopping her, keeping her from finishing what she had started. Something shifted in Gaia. Her breaths came hard, her body still wound too tight, but the moment stretched longer, stretched too long. Then, finally, she stopped. Ian didn't move, waiting, making sure she was really done. I didn't wait. The second she hesitated, I forced

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 42. Not Like This

    DECLAN -The trees blurred past as Gaia ran, powerful and sure beneath me. I gripped her fur tighter, not because I was afraid but because I had never felt anything like this. The wind cut sharp against my skin, my pulse pounded in my ears, and my body moved in sync with hers like we were built for this. Everything in me buzzed with adrenaline, with the rush of speed, the sheer force of her muscles coiling and flexing beneath me. Then I saw it. A shadow slipped between the trees, fast and silent, keeping pace with us. Suki. Not now. Not like this. I silently begged her to stay back, to leave this moment alone, to not push this any further than it had already gone. But she didn't. Her wolf stayed just on the edges of my vision, always there, always lingering, never letting me forget what was still tangled inside me. The pull. The connection that refused to break, no matter how much I willed it to disappear. Then Gaia saw her. Her muscles coiled. A ripple of tension passed through

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 41. Hear Me

    DECLAN -I made it back to the house just as Gaia came tearing out the front door, furious. She was barely holding herself together. The second she saw me, she yanked her shirt over her head. My brain barely caught up. I froze as every muscle in my body seemed to ripple at once. I was still reeling from being near Suki. From the way she looked at me. From the way my body reacted even when my mind told me I belonged to Gaia. The confusion pulled me in opposite directions, turning every second into a battle. And now Gaia was storming toward me, tearing off her clothes, taking up every bit of space in my mind. "Damn, Gaia." I snapped my head to the side, forcing myself to look anywhere but at her. She stalked closer, bare feet kicking up dust. I frowned. Why the hell were her shoes off? She had stormed out of the house so fast that she hadn't even thought to put them on. That wasn't like her. She grabbed my chin and jerked my head forward. "We... werr 'dults. We... need to stop act

    DECLAN - Suki stretched out on the rock beside me, legs extended, fingers tapping idly against the stone. She wasn't in a rush, and that only made everything worse for me."Why are you upset?"I stared at the dirt, exhaling hard. "You don't want to know.""Please. You rejected me. Nothing else you say can be worse than that."That shouldn't have hit as hard as it did. My hands tightened against my knees, but I kept my voice even. "Yeah... Sorry for that too."She shrugged like it didn't matter. "You did what you had to do. That doesn't mean I can't tease you about it."She smiled, not mean, not teasing, but something about it still made it impossible to ignore. I didn't push. Couldn't. Not right now.Some of the pressure in my shoulders eased. "You're handling it better than I thought.""What, did you expect me to run off crying?" She kicked a loose rock down the slope. "I don't do the whole helpless thing."I huffed. "I know. Takes a lot of strength to live out here on purpose all t

    DECLAN - Mom knocked once before stepping inside, moving like she expected this to be a fight. Maybe she did. Maybe it was."Your dads worked out a deal with Jaed."I stayed where I was, back against the headboard, arms locked around Gaia. Keeping her here. Keeping her mine. "Doesn't matter. Nothing is changing."She did her best to ignore my attitude. "Gaia can still stay until her birthday."I scoffed. "You heard what I said. She was staying regardless of all the bullshit."Gaia sat up fast, then shoved off the bed completely. "Don't talk to your mother like that."Heat crawled up my spine fast. A burn that made my stomach wrench. Being called out pissed me off. Being called out by someone below me? Made my teeth ache.And I hated that I felt like that.Mom just watched, waiting. No reaction, no expression, no wasted effort. My breath felt thicker, slower, body bracing for something I wasn't even sure of. I forced my attention back to her instead of the fire sparking hot under my s

    DECLAN - Jaed turned on his heel and stormed out, steps heavy enough to shake the floor. The door slammed hard enough to rattle the frame. Gaia moved fast, pushing out of the room after him without looking back. My body still burned, everything wound so tight I thought I might snap in half. There was no way in hell I was walking out there right now, not like this. I sat on the edge of the bed, planted my feet, and dragged both hands through my hair before forcing them down. If I kept doing that, it would only make everything worse. I needed to get it together. I needed to think about something else. Anything else. My breathing was too hard, too uneven. My pulse pounded in my ears. My entire body ached, my skin too hot, my blood thick and heavy. Every inch of me still screamed for her, for more, for everything I had been seconds away from having. I stared at the ceiling and tried to focus. No good. Every thought ran straight back to her. To the way she had felt pressed against m

    DECLAN - By the end of the lesson, most of them had the alphabet down. It wasn't perfect, but it was a start. More than that, it was proof that this was happening. That Gaia was becoming part of us, not just some outsider with no way to connect.As the room emptied out, I felt her before she even touched me. Gaia slid her arms around my waist from behind, pressing herself against my back."You're incredible," she signed against my chest, looking up at me.I swallowed. Hard. "Come on," I muttered, taking her hand and pulling her toward my room.The second the door shut behind us, she was on me. She dragged me down to meet her lips. I didn't hesitate. I kissed her hard, ignoring the dull ache still lingering in my ribs. My shoulder moved without protest, and most of the cuts had already faded into thin scars. I knew I should still be careful, but touching her made everything else disappear. The soreness, the exhaustion, the remnants of pain all vanished the second she was in my arms.S

    I found Cast and Linc in the office, going over some pack reports. Linc leaned back in his chair while Cast was half-standing, flipping through pages with a scowl. They barely looked up when I walked in, but I didn't care. I had something to say, and they were going to listen."We're starting ASL classes," I said, crossing my arms. "Everyone is required to attend. That includes both of you."Linc's brow lifted slightly, and Cast set the papers down with an exasperated sigh. "You're giving us orders now?" Cast asked, folding his arms over his chest."Yes."They exchanged a look. Linc sighed first. "Declan, you don't get to just..."I cut him off. "I do. And I am. This should've happened the second we knew Gaia was deaf. Jaed made sure every single person in his pack knew how to communicate with her before they moved there. But here? We're still scribbling on notepads like it's the Dark Ages."Linc's jaw tightened. Cast clenched his teeth, looking more annoyed than guilty. But I wasn't

    Life felt strange now. Not bad. Just different.The routine of school was gone, replaced by the quiet predictability of home. I woke up early, trained with Dad Cast and some of the others, then spent the rest of the day doing whatever needed to be done around the packhouse. The only difference now? I was healing far faster than I should have been.The gashes along my ribs had already started closing. My shoulder still ached, but nowhere near what it should have been given the damage Suki had done. Even the deep bruising felt more like old aches instead of fresh wounds. It was fast. Too fast.Gaia noticed it first. She was there when I peeled off my shirt after training, her eyes narrowing as she reached out, fingers barely brushing over the nearly-healed claw marks."That’s not normal," she signed, eyes flicking up to mine.I already knew that. "I heal fast now that I'm an adult alpha?""Not this fast," she countered . "Do you think,"I exhaled. "It’s you."She nodded slowly. "We heal
