Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 36. You Still Love Me
We pulled into a quiet neighborhood just off the Augusta Riverwalk. The streets were lined with old, towering oaks, and I could hear the distant sound of the river rushing nearby. We slowed down in front of a sprawling historical house. It stood like something out of a magazine, with its white columns and brick façade. It was the kind of place that had probably been here for over a century, with all the charm and details that came with that. The wraparound porch had hanging plants swaying gently in the breeze. It was gorgeous. Perfect, even.Cast pulled into the driveway, which led into a two-car garage. The door groaned shut behind us, trapping us in darkness. He turned off the engine but didn't move. Neither did I.I looked around the dimly lit space. "Where are we?"He let out a long breath before turning to me. "I bought it... for you and the baby."I couldn't speak. He bought this? For us? The house, the life I didn't know how to picture, was now right in front of me.Before I
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 37. Burned
I couldn't stop grinning as I flipped another pancake. Burned. Again. It didn't matter, though. Lila sat on the kitchen bar, her legs swinging, watching me with a smirk that told me she was enjoying this way too much. I wasn't about to give up. Even if I ruined every single one, I was having too much fun pretending I knew what I was doing."You missed a spot," she said, pointing at the mess of flour and egg splattered across the counter."I'm just adding character to the kitchen," I replied, tossing another glob of batter into the pan with exaggerated flair.She laughed and folded her legs up under her. The sleeves of my shirt were too long on her arms, making her look even smaller and more comfortable. Like she belonged here. In my space. In my life."You're enjoying this way too much," I said, flipping a pancake that barely stayed intact."I'm enjoying the show," she replied, resting her chin on her hand. "You're very… committed to this failure."I picked up a fork and stabbed

I stood there staring at him. "I have to reject you."I heard the words. I understood them. But I didn't feel them right away. I had hit a wall, trying to wrap around what he had just said. "What… what do you mean?" I asked.Cast started pacing, his face twisting in a way I hadn't seen before. Broken. That's how he looked. Like he didn't want to say any of this, but he had to.His eyes met mine, and I knew. He wasn't going to take it back."I don't have a choice," he said quietly. "Linc… he needs to mark you. You can't bear my Luna mark anymore."I couldn't breathe. The room spun like someone had ripped the ground from under me. He was serious. He was actually going to do it.Reject me.Tears appeared at the corners of my eyes, and I forced myself to look at him, searching his face for something, anything to hold on to. But all I saw was regret. Pain. He wasn't going to fight this.My hand instinctively went to my stomach. "Will it hurt them?" I blurted out in a panic. Our b
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 39. Tomorrow
CAST"Tomorrow," I muttered, hating myself as the word left my mouth.Her whole body seemed to go still. Like she was holding back everything she wanted to throw at me. That I deserved to have thrown at me. She walked out of the kitchen, leaving me standing there staring at the floor. I followed her out to the living room. She was sitting on the couch with her knees tucked under her chin. "Why tomorrow?" she asked as I walked in.I swallowed hard. I didn't trust myself to speak. If I started, I wasn't sure I could stop the flood of everything I'd been holding back. "I need one more night with you." I was barely able to mumble the words out.She sighed, but she didn't argue. Instead, I sat down beside her. Despite sitting so close, she felt rigid and distant. I reached for her hand. She let me take it, but her grip was loose. She was already slipping away, and it hurt so damn bad. I was losing her already. My heart felt like it was being torn apart, piece by piece, and there wasn'
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 40. Without Trying
LINC Lila was finally divorced. It was official. She could be mine now. I'd waited for this moment for what felt like forever, but the excitement didn't hit how I thought it would. Instead, there was this hollow fear settling in my chest. It wasn't that I doubted what I wanted—what I needed—but because deep down, I knew. She wasn't in love with me yet. Maybe she never would be. And as long as Cast was still in the picture, I knew she couldn't be. How could I compete with him? They had a bond. A real one. The kind that ran deeper than I'd ever understand. She didn't choose it, but it was there. No matter how much I wanted to be the one to fill the space in her life, Cast was the one still holding her heart. I knew that. I'd always known it. But I couldn't stand still anymore, waiting in the background, watching them live a life together while I sat with nothing. Still, as much as I wanted to tear them apart for good, I couldn't help but think back to the stories. The o
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 41. I Hate It
CAST We had spent the entire night on the floor, wrapped around each other. Every time I closed my eyes, fear would claw at me. It whispered if I let go, I'd wake up alone. The bond between us pulsated, more present than ever. But it was fading, slipping away with every breath we took.She hadn't left me, not even for a second. She had stayed curled around mine, both of us on the cold floor, clinging to what we had left. She wrapped around me like I was something worth holding on to. Like I deserved her. I knew better. I wasn't worthy of this. Of her.I looked at her. She looked peaceful but sp worn outIt hit me.This was it. This was our last night like this. Tomorrow, we wouldn't be us anymore. After tomorrow, I wouldn't have her like this, so close, so unguarded. We wouldn't be able to just hold on to each other. It wouldn't be the same.I shifted, moving slowly to slide out from under her. She stirred a little but didn't wake as I gathered her in my arms. Carrying her back t
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 1. Two Pink Lines
Castor Roman wrapped his arms around me from behind as I stood at the kitchen counter, slicing strawberries for his breakfast. He kissed the side of my neck where my Luna mark was. It made both of us shiver. "Morning, beautiful," he murmured. "What's on the menu today?""Your favorite," I said as I leaned back against him. "Pancakes with extra fruit and whipped cream.""You spoil me." He reached around to steal a strawberry slice before popping it into his mouth with a grin. "What would I do without you?" This was what I lived for. These little moments when it felt like I was the center of his world. No matter how hard things got with the pack or how much his mother's icy stares and constant criticism hurt, Cast made it all worth it."I love taking care of you," I said as I faced him. I traced my fingers along the dark stubble on his jawline. "You know that, right?""Of course I do." He pulled me closer and touched his forehead against mine. "I'm the luckiest man in the world. I'll
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2. Escape the Truth
I couldn't stop shaking as I left the office. The image of Selena and Castor seared into my mind like a wound that wouldn't stop bleeding. I fumbled with my keys, trying to keep my tears at bay, but they came anyway. I just needed to get home. Get away from all of this.As I sped out of the parking garage, I didn't see Cast run into the driveway until it was almost too late.I slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching as he threw his hands up, trying to get me to stop."Lila, please!" he shouted, approaching the car.I saw the desperation in his eyes, but I didn't care.Not after what he had done.I pressed the gas, swerving around him, and sped off. He didn't deserve my attention, not anymore.The house didn't feel like my home anymore when I got there. I yanked open the closet and pulled out a suitcase frantically as I shoved clothes inside without looking. I didn't care what I grabbed. I just needed to get out of here."Lila, stop!" Cast's deep, angry voice echoed through the
