Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 42. Made it Worse
I stood in the kitchen, shaking as I scrambled the eggs, trying to keep my mind from spiraling. It was so normal, cooking breakfast like I always did. But nothing about today was normal. Not with what was coming hanging over us like a shadow I couldn't escape.Cast sat at the table, watching me in silence. I placed the plate in front of him, my hands trembling slightly as I did. He smiled weakly. He picked up the fork, but I could tell he wasn't hungry. Neither of us were. Still, he ate a few bites, like he was trying to hold on to this last shred of normalcy before everything shattered.I sat across from him, staring at my untouched plate. "It's time," he said mumbled.I froze, my fork halfway to my mouth, unable to move. I knew this was coming, but hearing it made my stomach twist painfully. I set the fork down."I don't… I don't know if I can do this," I whispered as I looked up at him. His eyes were filled with the same pain I felt. For a moment, I thought maybe, just maybe, we

I woke up first. We'd slept, clinging to one another the rest of the day and night. We clung to one another like we could physically hold the bond intact still. Like it wouldn't break if we didn't let go. Everything around me was the same. The same bedroom, the same bed, the same man lying beside me.But something wasn't right. The stillness felt strange. Everything felt strange. I lay there blinking at the ceiling, trying to figure out what exactly had changed. His arm was still around my waist, and the bed still smelled like him, but something between us was different. It just wasn't the same. The pull that always drew me closer to him, that electric spark, had dulled. It hadn't disappeared entirely. I still loved him, but the intensity was gone. Like a thread that had frayed at the edges.I glanced over at Cast still asleep beside me, his chest rising and falling steadily. He looked peaceful, but the bond between us... it felt broken. I could feel the gap, the hollow space wh

CAST - I stood in the hallway, staring at the bathroom door she had slammed shut behind her. Everything was falling apart faster than I could keep up with.Less than a day had passed since I'd rejected her, and it already felt like something inside me had been ripped away. I could feel this constant pain in my chest, the void left by the bond that used to be there. Now, it was gone.And it was my fault.All my damn fault.She had pulled away from me like I was poison. I couldn't blame her. Hell, I wanted to pull away from myself. The way she'd flinched when I tried to kiss her, like I was about to burn her. It felt like the final confirmation of everything I feared. She didn't want me anymore, not in the way she used to. Not in the way that mattered.And why should she? I'd ripped her apart. I'd rejected her.I couldn't shake the image of her face, the way she whispered, "I'm sorry," and rested her head on mine. Like that could fix anything. I barely looked at her when I muttered,

I didn't mean for it to happen. One second, I was cooking, trying to hold myself together, and the next, Cast was in front of me, his hands on my waist, his lips on mine. It felt different, but I kissed him back because I needed to feel something. Anything. My heart was torn between the man I loved and the mess we'd made, and I wasn't sure where to turn.Then the doorbell rang.Cast pulled back. I glanced toward the door, my hands shaking as I untangled myself from him. Cast sighed, his shoulders slumping like he knew what was coming. I didn't want to open the door, didn't want to see who was waiting on the other side, but I had to.When I opened it, Linc was standing there. He didn't wait for an invitation, just walked in like he belonged. Without thinking, I hugged him. I hugged him before I could stop myself.And he held me back. Tight.I froze, realizing what I was doing, but part of me didn't want to let go. Linc had this way of making everything seem like it would be okay. Lik

Linc had been here for a while now. Cast had been quiet, standing across the room just watching us. I knew what he was thinking, what this all looked like. But I also knew that he was trying to stay out of it.Trying to give me space.It didn't help.I didn't want space. I didn't want decisions or reality creeping in. But they were here with every breath I took, every thought I tried to avoid.Linc stood up. He walked over to the sink, washed the plate and fork, and put them away. "I should probably get going," he said as he turned back to me.I didn't want him to leave. I didn't understand why, but the thought of him walking out made me feel sick.Cast must have noticed. "I can leave if you two need more time."Cast offered to leave, like I was choosing someone else. Someone who wasn't him in our house. Then it hit me. This wasn't Cast's house. It was mine. He'd made that clear multiple times, but I wasn't listening. Not until now. I had the choice. I had the power here, not him.I

We walked along the trail behind Linc's house, spiraling deeper into the woods. I had no idea how long we'd been walking. I kept my eyes on the ground, focused on the steady rhythm of our footsteps. It was easier than thinking about everything else.Linc stayed close but didn't crowd me. After a while, he reached out and took my hand. I let him. I didn't pull away or flinch like I kept doing with Cast now. We kept walking hand in hand."Do you regret it?" he asked. "What happened in the office?"My heart started beating faster as the memories began flooding back. His focus had been entirely on me. Nothing like sex had always been before. Where it felt like something to endure, something I had to do because it was expected. But real. He hadn't let me retreat into myself. He had made sure I experienced everything.Over and over.I shook my head. "No, I don't regret it."I felt him exhale, but he still looked uncertain. "I thought maybe it made things worse for you. I wasn't thinking c

LINC - I couldn't believe I said it. "Let me mark you." It came out before I could stop it. I'd lost all sense of control. My heart was still racing, my arms still around her, and I knew I'd crossed a line. She was so fragile, still reeling from everything with Cast. This wasn't the time to push her. I knew that, but I did it anyway. I couldn't hold it back. It had slipped out, and now everything inside me needed her to say yes. What the hell was I thinking? I wasn't used to this. Losing control, saying things without thinking them through first. I always knew what to say and what to do. I prided myself on that. But with her, I couldn't seem to keep it together. She brought out something in me I didn't understand. Something reckless, something almost desperate. I wasn't used to being off-balance. And now, I had thrown the question at her. I waited, my heart pounding in my ears, too fast, too loud. She didn't say no. She didn't push me away, and that made the panic worse.

“We’ll need to go to my pack’s land,” Linc said, his hand resting on mine. “The moon isn’t full, so we’ll need to be there for it to work.” He hesitated for a moment. “Plus, I want to take you somewhere special.”“Special?”He nodded. “It’s a place I used to go when I needed to calm down. It’s a bit of a mess now, but it meant a lot to me growing up.” I agreed, and we left the pond behind, heading deeper into the woods. The further we walked, the quieter everything became. The trees were thicker here. Everything was overgrown and untouched. It was subtle, but I could feel the shift in the air as we neared the border of his pack’s land. After a while, we entered a clearing. In the center stood the remains of an old house, or at least what was left. The roof had caved in, and thick vines tangled through the crumbling stone walls. Arches that once framed the structure now leaned to the side. The stone was weathered and broken. Despite its decay, the place had a kind of beauty.Like nat

Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 72. Quiet
DECLAN - I startled awake, breath catching hard. My body tensed, expecting the usual flood of images, the heavy, sinking feeling that came every time I crawled out of sleep. But there was nothing. No nightmares. No flashes of Gaia. Just quiet.Suki was still curled up beside me, the blanket barely covering her. She had gotten too hot in the middle of the night and tossed her shirt somewhere across the room. I stared for a long moment, wondering if she did it to torture me. Maybe it was on purpose, a test of how much self-control I had left. I had spent two weeks fighting every urge, pulling back when I wanted to push forward. That was ending tonight.The second I recovered from the shift, I was taking care of this. I was done waiting. She was mine, and I was going to make sure she knew it. In every way I could. I was relieved she was still asleep. Still so peaceful. I probably talked in my sleep the entire week. I did that a lot as a kid. I still did when I was stressed. Dad used t
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 71. Better?
DECLAN - I swore she was about to lean in and mark me. My whole body jerked, already reacting to what I thought was coming. Then she didn't. The absence of it hit just as hard. Something close to desperation cracked through my chest. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. Every breath felt heavier than the last. Every second dragged. I was losing it. Literally losing it.Suki straddled my lap, pushing me against the mattress. Pressure kept me there, but it wasn't enough to settle the fire running through me. My fingers tightened on her thighs, trying to maintain some level of control here. Nothing worked. The burn spread. Every nerve turned razor-sharp.Her hands moved down my arms like she could pull me back. "Breathe."I tried, but the air seemed to be stuck in my throat. "I can't."She dug her fingers in my skin. "Yes, you can."My teeth clenched. "Suki..."She kissed me, dragging me under before I could stop her. My body jerked into hers, chasing the only thing I could think of.S
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 70. Take Me
SUKI - The night before the full moon arrived, and the energy in the air felt thick enough to choke on. His body didn't fully understand what was coming yet, even if he did. Every instinct in him was preparing for something it had never gone through before. Luckily, I was here to help.My shifts were different. The moon didn't force them on me. I chose when to let my wolf out, when to embrace what was inside me. On the full moon, I wanted to shift. It felt incredible, like everything inside me clicked into place. But I didn't have to. He did. And it hurt. Really bad the first time.I had never understood why werewolves got the short end of the deal. Why their shift had to be something brutal, something to survive rather than something to embrace. If I could take that part away for him, I would. But I wasn't the one in the family with connections to the moon goddess. Declan paced through the Riverwalk house like he was trying to outrun something. He stretched, rolled his shoulders, a

SUKI - We ignored Gaia's birthday entirely. Neither of us spoke about it. Didn't acknowledge the date when it came and went. I'd say I hoped she had a good birthday, but that would be a lie. Instead, we swam in the river.The water was cool and clear, wrapping around us like something separate from the real world. Declan came alive in it, shedding the weight he had been carrying for weeks, moving through the currents like his body was remembering what it felt like to be free.He caught me from behind, dunking me before I could react. I sputtered to the surface, wiping water from my face just as he dove again, disappearing beneath me. A second later, hands gripped my waist, dragging me under. I fought, twisting against him, but he was stronger. Faster.I let him win.He pulled me close, his mouth brushing against mine just as we broke through the surface again. His lips hovered, teasing, waiting. My breath tangled in my throat, but I didn't make him wait long. I pressed into him, wat
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 68. Let Me Be His
SUKI POV - The first few days at the Riverwalk house had been quiet. Not silent, Declan didn't do silent, but calmer. Softer. Far less dramatic. I had expected the grief to eat at him, to turn him sharp, reckless, and impossible to handle. And while the anger still lingered, and he did seem ready to snap at any second, he let me help him. Let me take care of him. Let me put him back together piece by piece.He let me shove him toward the hammock when he was too exhausted to argue. Let me force water into his hand when he was too stubborn to take care of himself. Let me sit beside him and force-feed him, watching to make sure he ate every bite. I cleaned the cuts on his knuckles when he got too lost in his head and hit something he shouldn't have. I massaged the tension from his shoulders when he just couldn't relax. I patched up every wound, physical and otherwise, without him having to ask.He just let me take care of him. Let me curl into him at night when I knew the nightmares wer
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 67. He Was Mine
SUKI POV -I had known Declan was mine for almost two years. Mine. No one else's. Mine in a way that made my blood hum, made my instincts lock onto him like nothing else ever had. I had known, deep in my bones, that I would kill for him, die for him, claim him in a way no one else ever could. He belonged to me as much as I belonged to him, even if he hadn't realized it yet.The realization hadn't come all at once. It wasn't like lightning striking or some earth-shattering moment of clarity. It settled in quietly, creeping in the way instincts always did. Slow, steady, undeniable once it was there. One day, Declan was my best friend, the person I fought beside, the one I trusted above all others. And then I looked at him, really looked at him, and I knew.He was mine.It happened on a night that should have been unremarkable. We were training late, running drills under the dimming lights, both of us pushing ourselves long past exhaustion. He had yanked off his shirt, sweat dripping dow
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 66. Just Us
My brain would not shut up. I told myself to stop thinking about her body, but it was useless. I was standing there, naked, grieving, trying to process everything, and yet, all I could focus on was the way the water ran over her skin. The way her muscles flexed with every slight movement. The shape of her waist, the way her hips curved in a way that made something in me lock up. Fuck. Everything in my lock up. I gritted my teeth, staring at the tile, trying to drown out the thoughts. She was my best friend. My mate. And I felt like an asshole for noticing her like this, especially right now. But my body did not care. My instincts did not care. They did what they wanted, dragging my focus back to her over and over. She sighed and turned with the loofah in her hand. She looked down, then back up, her grin turning downright smug. "Damn, Dec. You're really going through it, huh? Looks like all the blood in your body decided it had more important places to be." I groaned. "Can you j

"She did not even care." The pain ripped out of me, raw and shaking, breaking apart between sharp breaths. "I tried. I did everything I was supposed to. And she just walked away. Like I meant nothing."Suki did not flinch. Mom did not look away. They sat beside me, letting me fall apart without stopping me. Letting me feel it."She was not even my mate," I choked, pressing the heels of my hands against my eyes like I could stop everything from spilling out. Like that would somehow make the tears stop. "I knew that. I knew it the second I saw her. But I still tried. I still did the right thing. I still honored the bond she forced on me. And she just... dropped me. Like it was easy. Like I was disposable."I tried to sit up, but my body refused. "I told myself I could make it work. That I could be what she needed. That I could be enough. And she did not even hesitate. She let me love her, let me stand by her, let me put my whole life on the line for her. And the second she was done with
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 64. Reflected Back At Me
Cold tile pressed against my cheek, biting against overheated skin. A dull pounding slammed through my skull, relentless, shoving me back into awareness. The room spun in slow, nauseating turns. My limbs refused to cooperate, heavy, disconnected, caught somewhere between exhaustion and the aftermath of last night. For a second, I didn't know where I was.The bath mat was back hanging neatly over the side of the tub like it had never been on the floor with me. My boots sat beside me, lined up perfectly. My shirt was gone. The stale stench of sweat clung to my skin, but a fresh t-shirt and jeans sat folded on the counter, waiting. Someone had been here. Someone had seen me like this.I was covered by an actual blanket. The air felt cooler than before, the AC humming softly in the background. Someone had turned it on while I was passed out.I forced myself up, muscles stiff, movements slow. Light spilled through the half-open door, too bright. The person who undressed and cleaned up afte
