Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 26. Between the Lines
Castor lay face down beside me, snoring loud enough to shake the walls. I sat up in bed, watching him, my fingers trailing slowly down his spine and then back up again. His breathing stayed steady, deep, as long as I kept the rhythm slow. He needed the sleep, and I didn't mind giving it to him, even if I couldn't sleep myself. I traced another line down the center of his back, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath my touch. My mind was a mess, as tangled as everything between us. How could I still want this? After everything, after all the hurt, I still felt this need to protect him. It wasn't fair. He didn't deserve it, not after everything he'd done. But here I was, trying to keep him from waking and give him peace when I couldn't find any myself. I glanced out the window as the light outside faded. I could feel it coming. Tonight was the full moon. Both Cast and Linc would shift. And now, Cast didn't have any pack land to do it on. My hand stilled on his back for a second,

The chains rattled as I locked Castor into his bay, the weight of the metal clinking against the cold concrete floor. Linc stood on the opposite side of the room, already securing his own cuffs. He didn't look at me, and I didn't say anything to him. This wasn't a moment for words. The full moon was high, and we had no time to waste.I stepped back, checking the locks once more. Both bays were old, built for emergencies, for wolves with nowhere else to go when the moon took hold. The building had been werewolf-owned for generations, and these cages were for situations just like this. I was relieved because I didn't have any other options tonight.Cast watched me as I moved between the cages. His eyes followed every step I took, the tension in his body growing with each passing second. Linc, on the other hand, had already closed his eyes. He was breathing slowly, preparing for the shift. They were both alphas, and I knew once they shifted, there wouldn't be anything calm about this.
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 28. Not Yet
It took them over an hour to shift back. I sat in that chair, frozen, as I watched them, their forms twisted and contorted in pain. I'd never seen it take this long. But I knew why.Both were alphas, fighting the shift with everything they had, refusing to back down. And both of them wanted me. They could sense that as wolves.Castor snarled, pacing inside his cage. Linc followed every movement. They couldn't shift back until they accepted the inevitable, and I could feel it dragging out, minute by minute. It felt like it would never end.Finally, they started to break. Castor's body began to change, the fur retreating, bones cracking back into place, his form shrinking into the man I knew. Linc followed soon after, the same agonizing process tearing through him. Their bones snapping echoed in the small basement, and I clenched my fists to avoid reaching out. I couldn't comfort them now. Not like this.When it was over, they lay naked and broken on the floor, both gasping for a

I woke up to the door of the guest bedroom slamming open and Selena barging in like she owned the place. Castor shot up beside me, blinking against the morning light. He looked like a deer in headlights, unsure of what to do. But when he saw Selena standing there, his body tensed."What the hell?" I muttered, pulling the blanket tighter around me. Cast was already swinging his legs out of bed and standing up between me and Selena.Selena crossed her arms as she scanned the room. "You're both pathetic," she spat, locking on Cast. "You seriously chose her? After everything we had?""Selena, what are you doing here?" Cast's voice was rough, and I could feel the anxiety rolling off him. His fists clenched at his sides, but he didn't move toward her."What am I doing here?" She laughed bitterly, stepping into the room like she had every right to be there. "I came to remind you of a few things, Castor Roman. I was here first. I was the one you loved before she came into the picture. She i

I walked into Indy's apartment, the familiar creak of the door reminding me of all the times I'd escaped here before. This place had always been my refuge, the one spot where I could breathe without the weight of the world pressing down on my chest. But even now, it didn't feel like enough. Not after everything. Indy was on the couch, scrolling through her phone when I came in. She glanced up. "You look like hell." "Thanks," I muttered, kicking off my shoes and collapsing beside her. My stomach had been twisting in knots all morning, the nausea refusing to let up, and the exhaustion wasn't helping. "I feel worse." She tossed her phone onto the coffee table and turned to face me. "You know, you could make this much easier on yourself." I shot her a look. "How?" "You could just… not pick either of them." I sighed, leaning my head back against the couch. "That's what I'm trying to do, but it's not exactly working." Indy tilted her head, giving me that look that always tol
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 31. Make my Move
( CAST POV ) Selena barged into my office without knocking.I barely looked up from my desk. I didn't want to deal with her shit today. Or any day, for that matter."Castor Roman... We need to talk," she said. She was acting all sweet and never used my full name unless she wanted something.I sighed and leaned back in my chair. "Selena, I don't have time for this. I'm busy."She dropped a thick folder onto my desk, the papers spilling across the wood. I didn't need to open it to know what was inside.Copies of the texts. Every single damn message I'd ever sent her during our relationship. The years when I said whatever I needed to just to keep her quiet."You should make time," she hissed, crossing her arms as she stared at me. "Because if you don't, everyone will know what you said about Lila and precious widow Roman." "You've already shown them to both, haven't you? What more do you want?"She smirked. "I want you. I want what we used to have. You remember, don't you, Castor? Yo
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 32. I Don't Care if You Hate Me
I was deep in the rhythm of my shift, chopping vegetables and sliding plates onto the pass. The kitchen was hot. My apron was tight around my waist, barely hiding the round belly that had popped out in the last few weeks. Seeing myself change so fast was strange.But I didn't have time to dwell on that. Orders kept coming in, and I had to keep moving.I was in the middle of flipping an omelet when a ticket came across the line. Something was highlighted, underlined, and circled: "NOTHING BREADLIKE OR SWEET." I froze.I turned around and looked past the kitchen doors into the dining room. Mrs. Roman was sitting at a table in the far corner.Of course.I turned back to the grill. I moved on autopilot as I started preparing her order. I didn't want to think about her sitting out there, probably judging every single thing about this place. The greasy diner, the cheap vinyl booths, the smell of fried food hanging in the air. Everything most people loved about it, but I'm sure she despi

Linc's name flashed on my phone, and I hesitated before picking up. I wasn't sure I could handle whatever he wanted. Things had been a mess lately, and every time the phone rang, it felt like I was teetering on the edge of something worse."Hey," I answered."You need to come to the office," he said, cutting straight to it. "There's been a development.""What kind of development?" I had enough on my plate without more surprises."I'll explain when you get here," he said before hanging up.I stood there, the phone still in my hand. Whatever it was, it didn't sound good. I grabbed my jacket and headed out the door.By the time I reached Linc's office, my nerves were frayed. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the last thing I imagined was seeing Castor sitting there, his hands resting on his knees. I stepped into the room, and he looked up at me.I froze."Lila," he said, standing slowly. "Sit down. We need to talk."I glanced at Linc, but he wouldn't look at me. Something was wrong. I c
