Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 209. Home
LILA - The house smelled like betrayal. No matter where we went, Phoebe's scent clung to the walls, the furniture, even Declan's things. It felt invasive, almost violent, and Linc was unraveling. He stormed through the house like a hurricane, sniffing the air, gripping doorframes and counters like he could force the truth out of the wood itself."Who let her in?" His voice carried through the hall as he cornered one of the omegas, his movements sharp, his control cracking. "Tell me what happened."The omega stammered. "I don't know anything. I haven't seen her."I touched Linc's arm in an attempt to pull him back from the edge he didn't seem to care he was on. "That's enough. She doesn't know anything."He turned to me, his eyes burning with the rage I could feel through the bond. "Someone let her i, Lila. Her scent didn't just appear out of nowhere. This was deliberate. This was meant to mess with my mind, and it is. It fucking is.""We'll figure it out," I said, trying to steady hi

CAST - Lila climbed into my truck, her face streaked with tears she'd tried to wipe away. This wasn't how I'd planned for things to go. I needed her to believe me, to trust that I hadn't betrayed her or the family. I climbed in and turned the heater on full blast before returning to the office.Kat stood waiting, leaning against the desk. Her posture told me everything. Her arms crossed tightly, waiting for whatever explanation I could muster."Kat, listen... I need to take Lila home and sort this out. She's falling apart, and this whole thing is spinning out of control."She didn't look away. I hated what I had to ask, but it hung between us. "But before I go… Kat, you didn't do this, right? The scent in the house... You didn't have anything to do with that?"Her arms dropped as she pushed off the desk and stepped closer. "You're really asking me that? After everything... After I looked after all of you when you were sick? You're questioning me now?"I reached for her and wrapped h

LINC - The dreams hadn't stopped. Even though the fever had long since burned out, Phoebe still haunted my nights. She slipped into my thoughts when I was most vulnerable, twisting her way through my subconscious until I woke, drenched in sweat with her scent lingering even when she shouldn't have been anywhere near me.I could smell her everywhere, the scent clinging to every inch of my damn house. How much more personal can an attack get? The rage was hard to control. The omegas moved quickly under my orders, scrambling to clean every surface, every inch of space that had been touched by her scent. I didn't care if they were exhausted. This was our home, and it was supposed to be safe. I had a child here. A child that would already face issues his whole life due to his last name and genes. I guess I'd just hoped it wouldn't start until he was older. I should have known better.No one could tell me how it happened. Not even Jaed or Selena, who swore they’d barely left their room wh

LILA - I got out of the shower and found Linc sprawled across our bed, his frustration still simmering beneath the exhaustion. I crossed the room and climbed in beside him, slipping under the sheets and pressing close until our foreheads nearly touched. He pulled me against his chest. His body was still so tense. I knew he wasn't going to relax on his own, so I tilted my head up and kissed him. He grumbled something, but I kissed him again, and soon, he was responding, the tension leaving his shoulders slowly as my lips moved over his. He needed the distraction. He needed to feel something else besides the anger that had been controlling him all night. I kissed him over and over, each one lingering just a little longer, until finally, he softened into the mattress, his grip on me becoming loose. His breathing evened out, and I knew he was finally asleep. I brushed my fingers through his hair, lingering before slipping out of bed quietly, careful not to disturb the quiet peace he'd f

LINC - After waking up, Lila refused to even look at me. After a few minutes of trying to get her to say anything to me, I gave up. "I'm going to shower. Join me if you want," I muttered as I disappeared down the hall. The shower was running as I leaned against the counter, waiting for Lila to join me. I was hoping she'd come in and let me make things right. She'd always been my rock when everything else felt like it was spiraling. I needed that now, needed her with me. But she wasn't coming.I pushed myself off the counter and walked into the bedroom. She was standing by the window, staring out at the storm. She looked at me briefly before turning back out to the yard. I came up behind her, grazing her arm with my fingers. "Come shower with me," I murmured.She pulled away. It was like something had cracked, and I couldn't patch it up."Please, Lila. Come on. Let me take care of you." I tried to pull her back in, but she was determined. She just moved further from me, her back tur

CAST - The room felt oppressive, its stale air clinging to my skin as I sifted through a stack of books. The pages blurred together, the words swimming uselessly in my vision. The scent of aged paper mingled with the faint tang of coffee lingering from earlier, a weak attempt at focus that had done nothing to help. My efforts to understand why Phoebe's scent was suddenly in the house felt futile. I had grown as restless as Linc was, but neither of us had answers. I slammed the book shut.Behind me, the door clicked open. I tensed, recognizing the familiar rhythm of Lila's footsteps. She paused in the doorway before crossing her arms and leaning against the wall. "Are you and Kat dating now? Or are you just dragging her along for fun?" I set the book down and looked at her. "I don't know, Lila. She's human. That makes things complicated."She scoffed. "Complicated how?"I sighed, leaning back against the table. "I want to move forward with her, but I'm scared. If I push too fast, s

LILA -The full moon crept closer, and we needed a plan. A week had passed since we returned to find Phoebe's scent clinging to the house like an infection. None of us had shaken the unease it left behind. Cast and Linc had been restless, their tension crackling through the air as they tried to make sense of it. For me, the days had become a battle against a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Every time I thought I'd found solid ground, something else rose to unsettle me. The pregnancy only added fuel to the fire. The energy coursing through me prickled under my skin, relentless and demanding, urging me to protect and take charge.Cast had been slipping out more often, heading to see Kat. He wasn't exactly hiding it, but his efforts to keep it subtle weren't lost on me. He wanted to keep the peace and spare me any unnecessary friction. I understood his intentions, even if they didn't sit well. Kat had seemed kind enough before her entanglement with Cast, but things were different now.

LINC - The moon was nearly full, adding another layer to the issues we were dealing with. Cast and I sat on the back steps of the pack house, watching the omegas finish their chores outdoors. We'd been stuck in this limbo all week. Ever since Phoebe's scent had clung to our walls like a stain, everything had shifted. It was just in our nature to doubt one another as bloodline Alphas. Conversations were heavier, movements slower to make sure we didn't trigger one another. It felt like we were wading through sludge, trying to decide who we could trust."So, we're splitting up again?" I finally asked. "Full moon in separate spots to keep from killing one another?"Cast nodded, his thumb tapping rhythmically against his knee. "Yeah. I'll head down to the basement here, and you can go back to the old place. It's the best way to keep things stable. Will Luca be here this time to keep an eye on things upstairs?"I nodded. "And Indy. Lila wants someone she trusts here with her and Declan."

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
