Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 253. What Would Linc Do?
CAST - Lila had dug her heels in again, refusing to eat, refusing to rest, refusing to leave Linc’s side. Alpha or not, I couldn’t force her. Not in a way that wouldn’t break something I wasn’t willing to lose. Not again.I stopped near a vending machine, glaring at the lineup of snacks inside. Brute force wasn’t going to work. I needed another angle, something that didn’t feel like a challenge to her. She wouldn’t fight back if she didn’t realize it was a battle.The faint smell of coffee and fried food drifted from the food court. It stirred a memory of her leaning against me on the couch back at the packhouse, stealing fries from my plate. She’d grumbled about the grease but ate every last one I handed her after that. The twins seemed to love fried foods and made her crave them often.I had to start thinking like Linc and handle this like he would. He never had to force her to do anything. He didn’t even hint at it. His strength as Alpha came from something quieter, something that

LILA -The world blurred into a dull, aching haze as the weeks stretched on. I stayed at his side, ignoring the nurses’ whispers about rest. The hospital eventually relented, letting me stay. It was not like it mattered whether or not I had their approval. I wasn’t leaving. Not when he was there, unmoving, unnaturally still. So not like the lively man I knew. I curled against him, tracing patterns on the blankets that covered his chest. The bed rest kept me rooted in place despite the insane energy. The lives growing inside me were the only thing keeping me from losing it totally.That, and Cast, when he managed to be with us. He tried, I knew he did, but the packs had made it nearly impossible for him. The Oxfords had always been stubborn, notorious for refusing to follow anyone’s lead but their own. Without clear direction from Linc before everything fell apart, their disarray worsened. Their growing distrust lingered over every meeting. They hadn’t been ready to embrace a new alph

"Why are you not pregnant yet, Delilah? It's not that hard to open your damn legs and lay there. Even you can't mess that up, right?" Mrs. Roman, my mother-in-law made her disappointment clear in every interaction. That question, the same one she asks every day, hit me harder than usual. I swallowed, and the familiar sting of failure quickly returned. "I'm trying…" It had been two solid years of trying. "Trying and failing." she snapped. "The pack needs a Luna who can handle her responsibilities, not someone who's constantly apologizing and half-assing it." Her presence was a reminder of everything I wasn't, everything I could never be. No matter how hard I tried to be the Luna she expected me to be, I always fell short. Castor defended and reassured me, but it never erased the feeling that I wasn't enough. "You're doing great," Cast told me that night, holding me close as I fought back tears. "Mom doesn't understand how much you do for the pack. But I see it, Lila. I see h

Everything around me twisted and blurred, like I'd fallen underwater. When he moaned her name, the room pivoted, and everything came back into harsh focus. Cast's hands on her sweaty skin, Selena's fingers twisted in his wet hair. They'd obviously been at it for some time. No wonder neither responded to my texts. The agony was immediate and sharper than I'd thought possible. I looked down at the small box in my hand. The pregnancy test I'd planned to show him, the future I thought we'd share, felt like a bomb now. "Why?" I barely recognized my voice as I threw it at them. The box hit him square in the chest. His head snapped up, and his eyes shot open. The test tumbled out and landed on his bare skin between them. The room went dead silent. They both froze with their eyes locked on the test like it was about to detonate. I took a single step back and turned toward the door. I didn't have a plan. I just knew I needed to get out and breathe. But the deep, commanding Alpha tone i

My lungs burned as my feet pounded against the familiar pavement of my childhood street. Running had always been my escape, and with new life growing inside me, I felt a surge of energy I couldn't quite explain. It was strong. So strong. If this was what Alphas had running in their blood their whole lives, no wonder they were always so intense. I slowed to a jog near the old oak tree where Selena and I took photos before Mine and Cast's wedding. She'd been my maid of honor. The betrayal stung. "Lila!" A voice called out behind me. I turned to see Selena approaching, her face flushed like she'd been crying. "What do you want?" I asked, trying to keep my composure. And my distance. The urge to slap her was overwhelming. So damn overwhelming. "We need to talk," she said, thankfully stopping a few feet away. "I have nothing to say to you," I growled. Wow, I never growl. Definitely the Alpha blood. "Please, just hear me out." I hesitated, then crossed my arms over my ches

After the fight with Castor, I drove aimlessly through the streets. I couldn't believe how quickly everything had fallen apart. Castor's betrayal had broken my heart, but his demand that I give him his heir before he would even consider a divorce was the final blow. I wasn't a breeder, and he wasn't about to treat me like one. I couldn't stay with him, couldn't bear to live in that house knowing what he had done and what he thought of me. But leaving him wasn't as simple as walking out the door. This baby was guaranteed to be Alpha. That meant if I didn't do this right, he could take the baby from me and no one would look twice. He had more claim over the baby than I did as far as the council and any werewolf was concerned. I didn't stand a chance if I didn't get human law involved here. Werewolf law leaves little space for women beyond pregnancy. Their worth is measured by the pups they produce and the bloodline they strengthen. Once a child is born, he is often handed off to

I stood outside Declan Lincoln's sleek office in downtown, a few streets over from Cast's. I had an appointment, but my nerves had me frozen in place. The receptionist hadn't even let me in yet. I buzzed the intercom once more and waited. Nothing. I pressed the button again. Still nothing. I sighed in frustration. I was about to turn away when a man walked past me, glancing down at his phone. His tailored suit fit him perfectly, dark against his smooth, deep brown skin. Our eyes met. He stopped mid-step. "Lila?" I blinked, taking in the sharp features of his face. "Luca?" He smiled wide, stepping toward me. "Wow, I didn't expect to see you here. It's been ages." "It really has," I replied, the pressure in my chest easing slightly at the sight of an old friend. "You work here?" "I do." He held up his ID badge, flashing it at the door's scanner. It beeped, unlocking the entrance that had refused me just moments ago. He opened the door and gestured for me to enter. "

Castor's message came in the late afternoon, just when I started believing I could have a peaceful evening. I gripped my phone tightly as his words glared back at me. "If you want the divorce, meet me at seven. We'll settle this once and for all. Your lawyer will be here and everything." I should have known better. I should have sensed that something was off. But I was too desperate for it to be true, too hopeful that he had finally given up and was ready to let me go. So, I pulled myself together, dressed in a white sundress that clung to my curves from the weight I was already gaining, and headed to the address he gave me. The elegant building was tucked away in the heart of the city, its tall windows glowing with warm light. Inside, the space buzzed with energy. It was a large ballroom filled with high-ranking werewolves from all over. Something was wrong. My stomach twisted as I stepped inside, scanning the room. Castor appeared by my side almost immediately, gripping my

Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 252. Alpha
CAST - The cracks spread faster than I could patch them as I remained by Linc and Lila's side at the hospital. As much as I wanted to stay there full-time, two packs had lost their alpha, and it was causing issues. Arguments erupted in both packs the second Linc was declared to be in a coma. It wasn't a day before whispered disputes escalated into snarled accusations that turned into physical fights. With the moon so close to full, everyone was on edge, and it showed. Territory. Resources. Everything seemed up for debate. Every one of them demanded attention to maintain the equilibrium between Oxfords and Romans. Without Linc to balance that, the packs looked to me. So did the council. It wasn't three days before I was called to a meeting with them. I tried to politely decline but was told I didn't have a choice. Lila barely even hugged me before I left. I strode into the meeting hall, still wearing the same clothes I had worn at the hospital. A sharp exchange between two pack mem
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 251.
CECE - Cast called me early that morning. “Cece, it’s Linc. He’s in the hospital.” I snapped awake. “What happened?”“Lila won’t leave his side,” he added. “I need you to take care of Declan full-time for me. Just for a few days.”“Why me?”There was a pause. “You’re the only one I trust with him,” he admitted finally. “He’s not easy, and you seem to be the only one he will calm down with besides us.”I almost said no. Almost. But Lila needed someone. My Luna needed someone. Declan needed someone. And Cast had asked me, of all people.The packhouse felt different when I stepped in. The usual hum of energy was missing, replaced by an unsettling stillness. Wady had explained it was from the lack of alpha energy due to having five in the house, but it was still so unsettling when it happened. I reached the nursery just as Declan started wailing. My steps faltered, but I forced myself forward. He stood in his crib, red-faced as he bounced up and down.“Alright, kiddo. Chill out, I'm her
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 250. Not Ever
CAST - Chaos erupted the moment Linc collapsed. A bowl of soup tumbled from the tray he was carrying, the scolding hot contents splashing across the floor and burning my arms as I tried to shield Lila. The searing pain bit through my skin and made me hiss. I failed to shield Lila, and she was screeched as it hit her. His head struck the floor with a sickening crack, louder than the bowl clattering on the hardwood.“Get the car!” I barked at Lila. She froze, her wide eyes locked on Linc’s unmoving body beside mine. Red splotches had begun forming on her skin where the soup had splattered on her, but she didn’t seem to notice. When she didn't move, I reached up and pulled her face up to mine. I kissed her lips. "Baby, listen to me. Go get someone to get the car. I got him." I slid my arms under Linc’s shoulders and heaved. His body, unnervingly limp and hot to the touch, refused to cooperate. My feet skidded across the slick tiles, but I gritted my teeth and dragged him toward the d

CAST -I raced through the dense forest. Shadows of trees streaked by, their skeletal branches clawing at the moonlit sky. The pack followed close, their pale white bodies glowing in the moonlight. Their eyes burned with a sickly green hue, eerily similar to Kat's human eyes. Her voice was louder than the cacophony of snapping twigs and guttural growls. She sat on the back of a massive white wolf, her hair whipping wildly as she screamed at me. “You kill them, or we will!”I couldn’t stop long enough to turn around to see her. My body stretched and lunged, every muscle of my wolf body screaming as I pushed forward. I wasn’t running for me. It was for her. For them. For Lila and the lives she carried. I had to lead them away.The pack was just a breath behind me. They weren’t going to stop. Kat grew louder, venom lacing every demand. “If you won’t do it, Cast, then it’s on us! You hear me? We’ll finish what you won’t!”It hit me. She wasn’t talking about some abstract enemy. She was ta
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 248. This Was Hard
LILA - They thought they were protecting me. Of course they did. Noble, self-sacrificing idiots. They hadn’t even given me a choice. I shifted in my seat, gripping the armrests tightly as I tried to roll and pop every possible muscle and joint. My knuckles cracked under the pressure. Sitting still ate at me, but pacing wasn’t an option. Barely holding myself back from moving felt like a fight in itself. The whole thing replayed over and over. I’d been stupid enough to think I could just walk away from the chaos without it spiraling. Without it causing both my guys to fall over a cliff. A cliff that would be difficult to pull them back from with this much restless energy. Linc had set up the portable office in the bedroom without a word, guilt evident in every meticulous detail. Now, it felt less like a workspace and more like a shrine to his inability to leave me alone. And it wasn’t just the desk. Everything they did now seemed wrapped in the same guilt. Neither of them had gone
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 247. Pay For It Later
LINC - I pushed up from the bed, my arms straining under the effort, but the sharp sting in my side flared instantly. It stole the air from my lungs, leaving me gasping. Lila moved toward me. “Don’t,” I snapped.She paused, but she didn’t back off. “You can barely stand. Let me go with you.”I straightened, ignoring the tremor in my legs. “No. Stay here.”“Linc, don’t be...”“Enough,” I cut her off. “You’ll stay in this room like I said.” I reached for that thread of dominance, the one I used sparingly but couldn’t avoid now. Her defiance burned, but I turned away before she could say anything else.Cast hovered near the doorway. He stepped forward as I made my way toward him, taking my arm without a word. I let him steady me, the sharp pull in my side making my steps unsteady. The hallway stretched long before us, the walk more of a battle than I cared to admit.“You didn’t have to be such a bastard about it,” Cast muttered as we reached the stairs.“She wasn’t going to listen any o
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 246. Off
LILA - The house felt far too quiet. Every creak of the floorboards beneath my bare feet sounded like a betrayal, threatening to wake one of them. I kept my steps light, avoiding the spots I knew would groan the loudest. I had a scheduled stress test with the healers this morning, and I’d left a note for the guys before slipping out. They hovered so much that sneaking away like this felt almost illicit, but I needed to make it to the clinic on my own for once. My feet had barely touched the floor since I came home. I left the house early, the note I’d written for the guys still on the bathroom counter. The clinic wasn’t far, just a short path through the woods, and I knew it well enough to walk it alone. I paused to look at the stairs where I had tripped before. I pushed the door open to find the healer already waiting. She looked up, her brows pulling together as she studied me. “You’re lucky they didn’t catch you leaving again,” she murmured while setting up her tools. I eased on
