“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.

    CAST - I paced the empty house. The silence felt wrong. It didn't belong here. She didn't belong anywhere but here with me, but she was gone. She had left with Linc, and deep down, I knew that meant something I wasn't ready to face. She'd said she'd come back, but I wasn't stupid. This wasn't her just stepping out for a few hours. This was her walking out of my life. I had broken her. She wouldn't return. She shouldn't. If I had been in her shoes, I would've run from me too. I had ruined everything we had. Sitting in that silence, in the house I had bought for her, for our baby, was driving me mad. I couldn't just stand there, surrounded by the remnants of a life I had thrown away. So I started working on the house again, putting the nursery together, even though I knew deep down that she might never come back to see it. But it gave me something to focus on. Something other than the hole inside my chest where she had been. This house was supposed to be a home for her. For us.

    Linc stood in front of me, so close I could feel the heat radiating from his body. I wasn’t used to feeling this way, but with him, it was different. I wanted more.He stepped closer, softly brushing the side of my neck with his fingers. My heart raced, but it wasn’t from panic. It was anticipation. I knew what he would do, and for the first time, I wanted it. I really wanted it. It was nothing like when Cast marked me. With Cast, I had been terrified, my body stiff with fear because deep down, I knew he hadn’t wanted me.Not then, not in the way I wanted him.But Linc… he wanted me.He leaned in, his breath warm against my skin, and kissed where my shoulder met my neck. I closed my eyes, letting the feeling wash over me. This was different. This was right. I had been scared before, unsure of what it meant to be marked, but now I understood. This was what it felt like to be claimed by someone who actually wanted you. Someone who saw you, wanted to be with you, and wasn’t just fu

    LINC - I only thought I was starting to fall for Lila before I marked her. Those feelings, the pull I'd felt growing stronger day by day, were nothing compared to what slammed into me the moment my teeth sank into her skin. The bond between us snapped into place, flooding my senses with something deeper than anything I'd ever experienced. I was gone, completely. Head over heels, no going back. Even if she wasn't my fated mate, she was more than just a chosen one to me. There was something else. Something far more significant. I felt it in my bones, in the way every fiber of me screamed that she was mine. Not because of tradition or pack expectations but because I wanted her. I needed her. She was everything, more than I'd ever thought possible. I lay beside her, watching her sleep, my mind still reeling from the intensity of what had happened between us. Hours had passed since I marked her, since we had made love, yet I couldn't stop looking at her. The bond pulsed between u

    CAST - I stared at my phone, the light from the screen blurring my vision. Hours of texting Selena had led me to this.A mess I couldn't seem to pull myself out of. Each message from her seemed to heighten my desperation, like I was reaching for a lifeline I knew I shouldn't take, but couldn't stop myself. She had promised everything. She'd bring all her devices, the cloud files, whatever incriminating texts or photos she had, and let me burn them. Right in front of her. She even offered to let me comb through her phone myself, to prove she had no other copies. I could check every single thing."Plus, if you mark me, you'll know if I'm lying," she reminded me. I didn't want to mark her. That much I knew. I didn't want her in my life at all, not now, not after everything that had happened with Lila. The thought of marking someone else was like trying to swallow broken glass. But the way Selena played on my fears, on my insecurities, was masterful. She always knew how to make me q

    CAST - Linc texted me a pin to their new house. Theirs. That didn't take long. The message was simple. An address, no words, just the location of their new home. I floored the gas, racing toward the spot on my phone. I knew what I was walking into, but my mind was stuck in a loop. Lila was his now. I'd told myself I accepted that, but deep down, it tore me apart. As I got closer, I realized... The house wasn't just near his pack's land. It was practically on it. I couldn't believe how close it was. The trees that lined the road grew denser as his pack's scent filled the air. Linc had moved her right into his world, where I no longer had a say. I barely parked the truck before I was out and storming toward the front door. I was about to knock when the door swung open. Linc stood there, his eyes locked on me like he'd been waiting for this. Before I could speak, he grabbed my shirt and yanked me toward the shed at the back of the house. "Not here," he muttered, pulling me wit

    I woke up on the couch, and it took me a second to figure out where I was. Linc's house. Our house. Linc wasn't there. The spot next to me was cold, and the house was silent. I sat up, rubbing my eyes, trying to shake off the grogginess. It was still night. I must have fallen asleep waiting for Cast to show up. I'd set up the spare bedroom for him earlier, knowing he'd need somewhere to crash if he actually came out here. Linc hadn't been thrilled about it. He didn't say much, but I could feel it. I couldn't leave Cast to self-destruct. Not again. Not when I knew where that road led. Right back with Selena. Even though I was head over heels in love with Linc now, something in me still needed to take care of Cast. It wasn't love, not anymore, but it was something. A deep connection that I couldn't just shake. That feeling messed me up. I stood up, wrapped the blanket around me, and wandered over to the window. Cast's truck was sitting in the driveway. He'd come. He hadn't go

    LINC - I watched them both sound asleep, wrapped up on the couch together. Tangled up in a way that should have made me lose it. But now? It was different. There was nothing I could do but face the reality in front of me. I'd marked her, yes, and I felt our bond grow stronger every second. But she hadn't been given time to disconnect from him entirely. I knew that when I did it. I'd been impatient, pushing forward because I was sure of how I felt, even if she hadn't fully realized it yet. Now, I was left to deal with the consequences. Cast had hurt her in ways I couldn't fully understand, and yet she still cared for him. She loved him. That much was clear. No amount of marking or bonding with me would erase that. And the more I thought about it, the more I understood it wasn't a weakness on her part. It wasn't some flaw that she still held onto her love for Cast despite everything. No, it was a strength. A real strength that few people had. To care for someone after they had t

    CAST - Waking up on Linc's couch felt strange. I didn't know where I was for a moment. I hadn't slept like that in... I couldn't even remember the last time. Maybe since the divorce had gone through. I hadn't slept more than an hour or two at a time, and it must've finally caught up with me. My body had clearly crashed, forcing itself to shut down. I blinked and looked around the room, piecing together where I was. Lila's scent was all over me. It was comforting and painful at the same time. I could tell she had been touching me while I slept. That's probably why I'd slept so hard. It wasn't something I wanted to think about for too long. Her scent was still too familiar, and I wasn't ready to process what it meant now that everything between us had changed. She still smelled like... Mine. I heard quiet sounds coming from the kitchen. I pushed myself up and made my way toward the noise. My legs were heavy, still stiff from sleep. I wasn't in a hurry. Part of me didn't want

    DECLAN -I couldn't stop staring at the bruises. They darkened her arms, deep purple patches against her skin. More bruises ran along her ribs, circling her sides, marking every place I fought her, every spot I had thrashed to get free. Each mark told me exactly how much I'd lost control.Suki didn't move away despite everything. She lay still against me, her breathing steady, calm. She hadn't flinched once through it all. She hadn't complained or tried to escape. She'd just held me down for an hour, refusing to let me lose myself completely. And why?Because I panicked.Because I convinced myself something was broken when the truth was obvious. The moment we were marked, I would hear her, and she would hear me. It wasn't complicated. It wasn't something to fear. But panic had overtaken me anyway, and she'd paid the price.The ache spread through my knuckles. The truth hit me again and again. I'd hurt her because I couldn't keep my fears in check. Those bruises weren't just from the

  • Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion    2- 75. What Was So Wrong?

    SUKI - Declan's wolf moved like nothing I had ever seen. I had spent countless moments wondering what he might look like. Would he carry his father's stark, shadowy appearance, or would the softer colors of his mother break through? He was a spitting image of Cast, so I was expecting him to be dark, tall, and strong. And a bit chaotic. The reality surprised me. His coat held the deep hue of Cast's fur, intense and powerful, but lighter shades wove through like lighter veins hidden beneath the darkness. He shimmered slightly as the faint light caught the streaks, giving him an otherworldly presence. He wasn't just a wolf. He was an embodiment of raw strength, each muscle carved for dominance, a predator poised at the peak of power. I was in awe.His eyes held me captive immediately. Those icy, striking blue eyes were the only thing truly familiar. They belonged to Declan. They had always belonged to him. Seeing him this way felt oddly comforting. He was beautiful, a creature perfe

    DECLAN - Fire tore down my spine. It twisted through every limb. My bones cracked. They shifted under the surface. They broke apart and reformed in ways that weren't natural. A scream wrenched from my throat. It came out raw and ragged. My legs gave out. I fell forward. Suki caught me, arms wrapping around me, pulling me tight against her."Stay with me," she whispered.I wanted to. I wanted to hold onto her and never let go, but I couldn't. The pain grew worse. It tore through every inch of me. It turned me inside out. My hands clenched around her waist. My forehead pressed hard into her shoulder. Everything inside me screamed to stay close. To hold on. To let her keep me together. But the shift had other plans.Another wave of fire ripped through my body. It was stronger than before. My back arched. My fingers spasmed. A growl, deep, guttural, completely inhuman, tore from my throat."Suki..."She held on tighter. "I know. I know."I wanted to believe she did, but she couldn't. No

    DECLAN - I tried to push past her, but she held her hands up. "You can't go inside. Not right now."I froze. "What do you mean we can't go in?""Something happened," she said. "No one's allowed inside."My stomach dropped. "What the hell happened?"She shook her head. "Linc, Lila, and Cast went to Linc's old apartment in the city to shift. If you want to go there, you can."Suki and I exchanged a look. That was too close to the city. Too close to people. I didn't know what this shift would be like, and I wasn't about to risk tearing through concrete walls because I lost control.I exhaled sharply, turning back to Selena. "No. That's not a good idea."She hesitated before speaking. "Go to the burned-down house."Every muscle in my body locked up. "You can't be serious."She didn't waver. "You need a place to shift. That's your option."My heart hammered against my ribs. "What happened here? Why can't I shift at the pack house?"She stayed silent.I stepped forward. "Selena—""Don't wo

    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

    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

    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
