LILA -

I shifted out of his lap and moved to the couch. Sitting there felt more composed, more like I could handle whatever was about to walk through that door. Cast crossed to the door, pulling it open so he could see the elevator. He'd set the office up intentionally, giving himself that small buffer for moments like this.

I couldn't see from where I sat, but I heard the elevator chime. Cast tensed immediately, muttering under his breath, "Shit."

My stomach dropped. "What?"

He glanced over his shoulder as he bit back a growl. "Kat. Fuck, I'm sorry. Let me handle this, please. The alpha energy is going to be..."

I cut him off as it hit me, the ripple already making me shake. "I'll do my fucking best, but don't let her touch you. I mean it."

He nodded sharply, stepping back to let her in. Kat stalked through the door. She paused and looked over at me first. "I'm sorry you have to be here for this," she said flatly before turning to Cast.

She pulled something from her bag and tossed i

    CAST - Linc drove us back to the packhouse, silent and focused on the road. In the backseat, Lila curled into me, her body trembling as the tears refused to stop. I kept my arms wrapped around her, my grip firm even as I felt like I was unraveling inside.She didn't stop crying, and I didn't ask her to. It was all I could do to hold her, to try to keep myself steady while my thoughts spun out of control.The ride stretched on, each second dragging. I tried to focus on the steady rhythm of the truck, the faint hum of the tires, and anything to distract from the storm building in my chest. But nothing worked.By the time Linc pulled into the driveway, my hands were clenched so tightly around her that I had to force myself to relax. I climbed out first, taking her with me as she refused to let go. Her arms stayed wrapped around me, her face buried against my chest as I carried her into the house.The living room was quiet, and the soft hum of the heater was the only sound until CeCe app

    LINC - The sound of running water echoed through the walls. I stayed by the nursery window, holding Declan against my chest as I quietly paced back and forth. He was a reminder of what mattered most. I adjusted the blanket around him, trying to ignore the faint bursts of laughter coming from the shower. And the intense feelings that I knew weren't mine. I took a deep breath and tried to still myself. This was the path we'd chosen. It was messy and unconventional, but it was ours. That didn't mean it was easy.Declan let out a tiny sigh as he went limp in my arms. I shifted to lay him in the crib, tucking him in with care. The water stopped, and silence crept through the house, amplifying every creak and distant murmur. I stepped back, keeping my movements quiet, and lingered by the crib, watching the rise and fall of his chest.I heard footsteps in the hallway and turned as Lila appeared in the doorway. Her hair was damp, and loose tendrils were curling at her collarbone, where o

    LILA - The poolhouse felt like stepping into another world. I trembled as I reached for the handle, pausing long enough to let my pulse slow. I wasn't sure if I'd ever been this nervous. Not even when Cast first came into my life and I'd lost my virginity to him. He stayed near the door, letting me take the lead. I appreciated that, even if it didn't make this any easier.I walked toward the couch in the center of the room. Every step felt like I was dragging a hundred decisions with me, each one whispering doubt into my mind. "We don't have to," he murmured. He stayed where he was, leaning against the wall like he had all the time in the world. How was he the calm one here?"I know." There was something in the way he watched me. It wasn't pressure or expectation, just… patience. That helped, too. "I want to. I just…" I trailed off, unsure how to put everything into words. I wanted to be here, wanted this with him, but the thought of Linc lingered. It wasn't that I didn't trust C

    LILA - It wasn't frantic or desperate. He moved his hands slowly as he explored every curve of me, his touch both steady and tender. He lingered on my waist, then shifted down to my hips, careful to avoid putting pressure near my belly. The consideration wasn't lost on me, and it only intensified the ache I felt to be closer to him. I missed this. Missed him. I followed his lead, tracing the familiar lines of his shoulders, remembering how I always loved the way his muscles moved beneath my touch. His breath hitched as I dragged my hands lower and started stroking him between us. I couldn't hide how my body responded to the noises he was making. The noises I was making him make. He kissed me as he grinned against my lips. He had waited for this since he lost me. But then again, did he ever really lose me? He picked me up, turned, and lowered me onto the bed. He shifted again, ensuring my comfort before letting his weight settle between my thighs. I gasped softly at the closene

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    234. Inside Me

    LINC - The storm clawed at the house, rattling the windows and hammering the roof with merciless force. None of it mattered. The bond roared louder than the storm, tearing apart any shield I tried to raise. Cast and Lila weren't just together. They were inside me, their shared passion searing through every nerve. The bond didn't ask. It took, filling my head and body with their raw, electric connection. It wasn't polite. It wasn't kind. It was extreme. It made me wonder if their connection was always like this, and I had no idea.I wouldn't have been able to walk away from her either if it was. Maybe Cast was always stronger than I thought.I shoved myself back upright. Movement was all I could manage. I had no plan, no outlet. Pacing the room, I stomped across the rug, each step feeling like a futile attempt to shake off the pressure under my skin. The burn inside me grew hotter, my breath coming rough and uneven as I ripped at my own hair with both hands.Which strangely... felt g

    LILA - The last thing I remembered was looking up at the dark sky, lightning shooting across it in jagged bursts. Cast and Linc hovered above me, their faces tense as they screamed out for help.Then everything went black.In the void, dreams took over. Nightmares, vivid and horrible, clawed at the edges of my mind, dragging me deeper with each breath I took. I saw Cast being ripped away from me, his hands straining to reach mine as Kat's cruel grip yanked him back into a darkness that swallowed him whole. His calls faded too quickly, leaving only the echo of my own screams.Linc's turn came next. Phoebe's mocking grin hovered over him, her nails digging into his shoulder as she dragged him into an endless abyss. I reached for him, but the void between us grew larger.Declan was there. He was just a baby, barely able to sit on his own, his tiny hands curling and uncurling as he turned away from me. His back seemed impossibly small, yet it was rigid, unyielding like the alpha he was.

    LINC - The first thing I noticed was the blood. It spread too fast, seeping through the fabric, painting everything in a color that shouldn't have been there. My heart pounded hard enough to rattle my ribs as I watched her trip, her body lurching forward until her stomach slammed hard against the edge of the steps. It didn't matter how many times I called her name; she didn't stir. Cast was already shouting for help, but I couldn't hear him. All I could focus on was the blood seeping out from between her legs. Her breathing was shallow, almost nonexistent, and I couldn't stop my mind from racing to the worst possible conclusions. Not her. Not the twins.The hospital was chaos. People moved around me, shouting orders I barely registered. The nurses took her from my arms and rushed her behind the doors, leaving me standing there with blood still on my hands. Cast gripped my shoulder, steering me to a chair before I collapsed, but sitting didn't help. The ache in my chest grew with eve

    CAST - The hospital room blurred into a routine over the week she was in the coma. Machines beeped endlessly, marking time I barely felt pass. Lila remained still, her body fighting a battle none of us could see. I stayed, keeping one eye on her and the other on Linc, who hovered near her bedside like a ghost. He was unraveling, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get him to stop. He hadn't eaten in days, ignoring every attempt I made to bring him food. Earlier, he grabbed my arm, yanking me closer. His hand slammed mine onto Lila's stomach. "You need to help me keep the pain away," he demanded.I stared at him, stunned, but his grip didn't loosen. "Picture pulling it out like a thread. All of it," he instructed. His hands hovered, ready to take over, but he didn't. I nodded tightly and tried, feeling the tension pass through me as I focused on her. I wasn't as good at it as he appeared to be, but I did notice how she seemed to relax just a little.I'd done what I could. I kept

    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

    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

    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

    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,

    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.

    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

    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
