Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 6. Protecting You
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

DECLAN - Just as she was stepping out, Dad looked over and shook his head as he pulled Uncle Jaed back into conversation. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back in front of me. "Not yet. Your Dad will see you."We sat there, tucked into the shadows of the truck's cab. The air felt heavy between us, charged with something hard to understand. Hard to understand, yet strangely right. She had always been there, always annoyed me in the same way my little sisters did. She was persistent, impossible to ignore, stubborn beyond reason. But now, looking at her, something had shifted. She wasn't just the girl I'd known my whole life. She was more.She was beautiful. Not in the way I used to roll my eyes at when guys noticed her, not in the way I used to shrug off because she was just Gaia. No, this was different. She looked strong, sharp-edged in a way that made my mind race. Like she could take on the world and win. And for the first time, I wasn't just seeing her as someone I had to tolerat

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

Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 43. I Got Her
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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 40. Experienced
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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 39. Secrets
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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 38. Moan
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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 37. Do It Again
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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 36. Not Really
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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 35. Distracted
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
