Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 235. Keep Touching
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

LINC - The elevator doors slid shut with a metallic groan, trapping Kat and me in an uneasy silence. I leaned against the wall, keeping my arms folded across my chest to shield the rising tension between us. "You look terrible," she started.I'm fine," I replied, deflecting quickly. "How's the pregnancy going? Are you eating more now? You don't seem nearly as aggressive as Cast described you were last time."She hesitated for a moment, her eyes dropping briefly, but she played along. "Better. My pack's been helping me stay on track. I'm doing what I need to do. For the baby."I nodded, keeping my focus anywhere but her. "Good. You should be. Cast doesn't need another thing on his plate."She turned her attention toward me sharply, but she stayed quiet for a moment before speaking. "You know there aren't many of us who know about wolves at the hospital, right?"I shifted slightly, looking at her directly for the first time since we got in the elevator. "Makes sense. Easier to keep t

CAST -Her breathing shifted sharply as her body jolted upright into my hands. I looked up at her face just as her lids flew open, and the machines around us erupted into chaos. Her unfocused movements sent a pulse of disoriented fear through the bond that almost knocked me back. I'd been marked for maybe 45 minutes before she was injured, so everything was still so new. Pulling her pain into myself moments earlier had been a desperate attempt to ease her burden, but it felt like I had yanked too hard, too fast. The shock seemed to have forced her awake, her body reacting violently to the sudden release of pressure. I leaned in, brushing back the strands of hair that stuck to her damp skin."Lila," I managed, pushing past the tightness in my chest that was no doubt hers. Her head snapped toward me. The bond trembled with her confusion, wave after wave of fear crashing into me as the alarms screamed.The door burst open before I could reassure her. Nurses hurried in, issuing commands.

LILA - The room remained quiet, punctuated only by the low hum of the monitors and the soft snoring on either side of me. Cast sprawled out on the bed as his head rested against my shoulder. His breathing was steady, a rare moment of calm in his otherwise restless nature. Linc was slumped in the chair next to me with his head tilted awkwardly onto the mattress near me. Their hands were joined together and resting on my stomach.Watching them so unguarded and connected, was more than a little bittersweet. Their fingers were laced together, and they were holding on for dear life. They'd forged something deeper, something unshakable. I smiled faintly. They needed each other just as much as I needed both of them, and it was starting to show.The faint beeping of the monitors drew my attention to the screen. Two steady heartbeats on top of mine. My girls. My little fighters. I shifted carefully, the hospital bed creaking faintly beneath me. Cast mumbled something in his sleep, his grip

CAST - The pain hit me like a freight train, tearing through my stomach with relentless force. It was sharp, searing, and so consuming that the world around me often blurred. My only thought was how anyone could endure this without breaking. It was easy to miss how damn strong she really was. She had been put into that coma to avoid this very agony. The moment I felt it, I knew I'd take it again and again if it meant sparing her. No hesitation. This pain was mine now, and I welcomed it. I'd do whatever was necessary to keep her awake and this pain far from her. The doctors had cleared her and the twins with flying colors. Of course they had. Everything she had endured had been shifted to me, the bond ensuring she carried nothing but what was absolutely necessary now. I couldn't take everything, but I could take enough. Linc wasn't happy with me about that part, but oh well. He shouldered all the pain the week she was in the coma, plus when she was giving birth to my son... Now, i

LINC - The house had fallen into a rhythm, though it was a strange, unsteady one that seemed to shift like a pendulum. It was never quite balanced but undeniably ours. Cast spent most of his time asleep next to Lila, their bodies entangled in the cocoon of pillows and blankets I'd carefully arranged for them. He carried his pain quietly, his jaw tightening occasionally in moments when he thought no one was looking. He never spoke of it aloud, but the bond between us was a constant reminder. I tried to do what I could, but he would never allow me to touch him long enough to really do anything meaningful. He was determined to do this alone. Declan had become my shadow, his boundless energy filling the house with a kind of chaos I had no choice but to embrace. Wady and Cece pitched in when they could, but most of the responsibility fell to me. I didn't mind, not really, though keeping up with him was another challenge altogether. Earlier, I'd barely turned my back before he was rollin

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

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
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
