Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 73. Death Grip
I stood at the door, hand resting on the knob. Cast had asked to come in, and even though every part of me screamed not to, I stepped aside and let him pass. He walked straight to the bed, sitting down heavily before leaning back and staring at the ceiling.I didn't close the door.It felt strange having him here. The familiarity between us was undeniable, but so was the distance. I stayed by the door for a moment, watching him. Waiting for him to do something, say something. He didn't. His eyes remained fixed on the ceiling.I pushed away from the doorway and started peeling off the ruined dress. The smell of vomit lingered on the fabric, sour and sharp, and I tossed it aside, stepping into the bathroom.I didn't close the bathroom door then, either.I half expected him to sneak a glance, but he didn't. He just stayed there, lost in his own world, oblivious to me stripping down and scrubbing my skin clean.Part of me hated that he wasn't looking, but another part was relieved. I pull

CAST - I stood in the doorway, staring at Selena. She was covered in blood, and her eyes were empty. The knife was dripping blood, clutched in her hand."Selena," I said as I stepped forward slowly, keeping my eyes on her hand. "What the fuck? Why are you covered in blood?"She didn't respond. She didn't even blink. I reached for the knife, but she quickly stepped back.She wasn't herself. Something had broken inside her, and I had no idea how to fix it.Behind me, I heard Lila coming down the hall. I glanced over my shoulder just as she stopped in the doorway, her eyes going wide at the sight of Selena."What the hell..." Lila whispered.I turned back to Selena. "Let me help you. We need to get you cleaned up."She didn't react, just stared through me, still gripping the knife like it was her lifeline. I led her to the bathroom. The blood was starting to drip onto the floor from her clothing. I could smell it. I reached for the sink with her."Let go of the knife," I said, but s

LINC - I sat in my office, tapping my pen on the desk. My mind was miles away from the stacks of files before me. The plan was to make this quick. I hated being here, hated leaving Lila back at the house with Cast. I should have brought her with me. She would have been safer, or at least, I'd feel better knowing she wasn't around him. I'd promised myself I wouldn't let it bother me, that we could make this work. But the longer I stayed in this office, the more the idea made me restless.Luca knocked on the door, sliding in before I even answered. He'd been holding down the firm for weeks, managing most of the day-to-day cases while I handled my mess."Hey, I need your signature on this," he said, tossing a folder on my desk. "Simple land dispute. Nothing major.""Just forge it," I muttered, barely glancing at the papers. "I trust you."Luca chuckled but shrugged. "You sure?"I nodded. The quicker I finished here, the quicker I could get back to Lila. I leaned back in my chair, tryi

I sat at the kitchen bar, staring at nothing, trying to steady my breathing. My hands were shaking, and no matter how hard I tried to control it, I couldn't. Linc's call kept playing in my head. His instructions were clear, but the fear made it hard to think straight. He was in jail. Selena had killed Astin.Cast and I had to keep her here, hold everything together while everything else seemed to fall apart.I gripped the edge of the bar as the nausea overtook my body. I glanced at the stairs, waiting, hoping Cast would come down soon. I needed him to say something that would make this okay and fix it.To tell me Linc was coming home and that none of this was real.The house was too quiet. Too still. When I finally heard Cast coming down, it didn't bring any relief. He looked exhausted and drained. He moved slowly, sinking onto the stool beside me."Selena's asleep," he finally said, barely looking at me. "I don't know how long she'll stay that way. But for now...""For now?" I repea

LINC - I sat in the interrogation room, staring at the one-way mirror, my mind running in circles. It had been hours since they dragged me in here, and I knew they had nothing on me. They couldn't. I hadn't been at the house long enough to kill Astin. I hadn't touched him. But that didn't stop them from grilling me like I was guilty."Tell us again why you were heading to the house." The officer across from me leaned forward. He was waiting for me to slip up."I told you," I replied. "I was dropping off paperwork. That's it."It was a lie, but there wasn't a choice. I couldn't drag Selena into this. Everything would spiral out of control when I mentioned what happened. They'd lock her up, and the pack would crumble."You expect us to believe you just happened to show up minutes after the murder?" Another officer joined in, pacing back and forth behind me."I didn't know anything was wrong until I saw the body," I said, keeping my gaze on the table in front of me. "I had nothing to do

Cast blinked awake, groggy, his eyes barely open. When he saw me sitting in the chair across from him, he let out a long breath.“Oh shit, dude. I'm glad you're back. I wasn’t sure what the hell to do.” I stayed quiet watching him, trying to wrap my head around the fact that he had been here, taking care of everything. Lila, Selena, this mess. When I should’ve been here. He’d stepped up, even when I wasn’t sure I wanted him to.“I can see that,” I said finally. “You look like you’ve been through hell.”He nodded. “Feels like it.”Cast didn’t say more, but he didn’t have to. The exhaustion on his face told me enough. I should’ve been angry. I should’ve been pissed that he was the one holding Lila, taking care of her. But all I felt was a strange kind of relief. She was safe. And that was all that mattered. “Let’s get some sleep first,” I said as I stood up. “We can figure it out in the morning.”He exhaled, pushing himself up off the couch, stretching his arms. “Yeah, we will.”*We*.

I sat on the bed, my knees pulled to my chest, feeling like I could barely hold it together. I wiped the tears from my face for what felt like the hundredth time, but they kept coming. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. Everything felt wrong. So wrong that it was suffocating me. I was supposed to have Cast's baby, be with him, and live some kind of life I had imagined a hundred times before. Instead, I was sitting here, pregnant, torn between two men I loved in ways I couldn't even fully understand. Cast's cheating had shattered everything, and then Selena came into the picture and turned the mess into something I could barely recognize. Linc had been the only constant in the chaos, but now, even that was tangled up in this disaster.My hands moved on their own, fingers tracing the mark on my neck as I tried to calm down, but I cried harder with each sob I couldnt stop from escaping. The tears kept falling, and I felt like I was falling apart with them. I was trying to breathe t

CAST - I was furious at myself. Marking Lila was a stupid fucking mistake. I should've known better. I should've known that dragging her back into my mess would only end with me sinking deeper into this chaos. Lila deserved better than what I'd given her.A broken promise, a rejection, and now this disaster with Selena. Selena. I should've seen it coming. She'd been unraveling, and I'd ignored it. Let myself believe I could control it, that everything would just... work out. But now, with Astin dead and Linc in the middle of a legal shitstorm, I couldn't keep pretending I didn't played a part in it all. Linc's voice carried from the office, his conversation with Luca echoing through the house. I could hear every damn word, his calm, steady tone as he talked about the case, about what needed to happen next. That was why I always took my calls outside. This house wasn't built for privacy, and I didn't need everyone hearing my messes laid out like that. Last night Lila told me to co

Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 43. I Got Her
Gaia lunged at him. Ian didn't move. He braced himself, standing firm as her massive form slammed into him. The force of it sent a shockwave through the ground. He held his position, absorbing the impact, pushing her back with raw strength alone. His white fur bristled. Gaia struck again, snapping at his throat, but he dodged, twisting at the last second to drive her off balance. She hit the dirt hard, paws digging into the earth as she pushed herself back up in an instant. Her entire body shook, not from exhaustion but from pure, unchecked aggression. Ian snarled, lowering his stance, but he didn't strike back. He didn't need to. He was blocking her, stopping her, keeping her from finishing what she had started. Something shifted in Gaia. Her breaths came hard, her body still wound too tight, but the moment stretched longer, stretched too long. Then, finally, she stopped. Ian didn't move, waiting, making sure she was really done. I didn't wait. The second she hesitated, I forced
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 42. Not Like This
DECLAN -The trees blurred past as Gaia ran, powerful and sure beneath me. I gripped her fur tighter, not because I was afraid but because I had never felt anything like this. The wind cut sharp against my skin, my pulse pounded in my ears, and my body moved in sync with hers like we were built for this. Everything in me buzzed with adrenaline, with the rush of speed, the sheer force of her muscles coiling and flexing beneath me. Then I saw it. A shadow slipped between the trees, fast and silent, keeping pace with us. Suki. Not now. Not like this. I silently begged her to stay back, to leave this moment alone, to not push this any further than it had already gone. But she didn't. Her wolf stayed just on the edges of my vision, always there, always lingering, never letting me forget what was still tangled inside me. The pull. The connection that refused to break, no matter how much I willed it to disappear. Then Gaia saw her. Her muscles coiled. A ripple of tension passed through
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 41. Hear Me
DECLAN -I made it back to the house just as Gaia came tearing out the front door, furious. She was barely holding herself together. The second she saw me, she yanked her shirt over her head. My brain barely caught up. I froze as every muscle in my body seemed to ripple at once. I was still reeling from being near Suki. From the way she looked at me. From the way my body reacted even when my mind told me I belonged to Gaia. The confusion pulled me in opposite directions, turning every second into a battle. And now Gaia was storming toward me, tearing off her clothes, taking up every bit of space in my mind. "Damn, Gaia." I snapped my head to the side, forcing myself to look anywhere but at her. She stalked closer, bare feet kicking up dust. I frowned. Why the hell were her shoes off? She had stormed out of the house so fast that she hadn't even thought to put them on. That wasn't like her. She grabbed my chin and jerked my head forward. "We... werr 'dults. We... need to stop act
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 40. Experienced
DECLAN - Suki stretched out on the rock beside me, legs extended, fingers tapping idly against the stone. She wasn't in a rush, and that only made everything worse for me."Why are you upset?"I stared at the dirt, exhaling hard. "You don't want to know.""Please. You rejected me. Nothing else you say can be worse than that."That shouldn't have hit as hard as it did. My hands tightened against my knees, but I kept my voice even. "Yeah... Sorry for that too."She shrugged like it didn't matter. "You did what you had to do. That doesn't mean I can't tease you about it."She smiled, not mean, not teasing, but something about it still made it impossible to ignore. I didn't push. Couldn't. Not right now.Some of the pressure in my shoulders eased. "You're handling it better than I thought.""What, did you expect me to run off crying?" She kicked a loose rock down the slope. "I don't do the whole helpless thing."I huffed. "I know. Takes a lot of strength to live out here on purpose all t
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 39. Secrets
DECLAN - Mom knocked once before stepping inside, moving like she expected this to be a fight. Maybe she did. Maybe it was."Your dads worked out a deal with Jaed."I stayed where I was, back against the headboard, arms locked around Gaia. Keeping her here. Keeping her mine. "Doesn't matter. Nothing is changing."She did her best to ignore my attitude. "Gaia can still stay until her birthday."I scoffed. "You heard what I said. She was staying regardless of all the bullshit."Gaia sat up fast, then shoved off the bed completely. "Don't talk to your mother like that."Heat crawled up my spine fast. A burn that made my stomach wrench. Being called out pissed me off. Being called out by someone below me? Made my teeth ache.And I hated that I felt like that.Mom just watched, waiting. No reaction, no expression, no wasted effort. My breath felt thicker, slower, body bracing for something I wasn't even sure of. I forced my attention back to her instead of the fire sparking hot under my s
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 38. Moan
DECLAN - Jaed turned on his heel and stormed out, steps heavy enough to shake the floor. The door slammed hard enough to rattle the frame. Gaia moved fast, pushing out of the room after him without looking back. My body still burned, everything wound so tight I thought I might snap in half. There was no way in hell I was walking out there right now, not like this. I sat on the edge of the bed, planted my feet, and dragged both hands through my hair before forcing them down. If I kept doing that, it would only make everything worse. I needed to get it together. I needed to think about something else. Anything else. My breathing was too hard, too uneven. My pulse pounded in my ears. My entire body ached, my skin too hot, my blood thick and heavy. Every inch of me still screamed for her, for more, for everything I had been seconds away from having. I stared at the ceiling and tried to focus. No good. Every thought ran straight back to her. To the way she had felt pressed against m
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 37. Do It Again
DECLAN - By the end of the lesson, most of them had the alphabet down. It wasn't perfect, but it was a start. More than that, it was proof that this was happening. That Gaia was becoming part of us, not just some outsider with no way to connect.As the room emptied out, I felt her before she even touched me. Gaia slid her arms around my waist from behind, pressing herself against my back."You're incredible," she signed against my chest, looking up at me.I swallowed. Hard. "Come on," I muttered, taking her hand and pulling her toward my room.The second the door shut behind us, she was on me. She dragged me down to meet her lips. I didn't hesitate. I kissed her hard, ignoring the dull ache still lingering in my ribs. My shoulder moved without protest, and most of the cuts had already faded into thin scars. I knew I should still be careful, but touching her made everything else disappear. The soreness, the exhaustion, the remnants of pain all vanished the second she was in my arms.S
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 36. Not Really
I found Cast and Linc in the office, going over some pack reports. Linc leaned back in his chair while Cast was half-standing, flipping through pages with a scowl. They barely looked up when I walked in, but I didn't care. I had something to say, and they were going to listen."We're starting ASL classes," I said, crossing my arms. "Everyone is required to attend. That includes both of you."Linc's brow lifted slightly, and Cast set the papers down with an exasperated sigh. "You're giving us orders now?" Cast asked, folding his arms over his chest."Yes."They exchanged a look. Linc sighed first. "Declan, you don't get to just..."I cut him off. "I do. And I am. This should've happened the second we knew Gaia was deaf. Jaed made sure every single person in his pack knew how to communicate with her before they moved there. But here? We're still scribbling on notepads like it's the Dark Ages."Linc's jaw tightened. Cast clenched his teeth, looking more annoyed than guilty. But I wasn't
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 2- 35. Distracted
Life felt strange now. Not bad. Just different.The routine of school was gone, replaced by the quiet predictability of home. I woke up early, trained with Dad Cast and some of the others, then spent the rest of the day doing whatever needed to be done around the packhouse. The only difference now? I was healing far faster than I should have been.The gashes along my ribs had already started closing. My shoulder still ached, but nowhere near what it should have been given the damage Suki had done. Even the deep bruising felt more like old aches instead of fresh wounds. It was fast. Too fast.Gaia noticed it first. She was there when I peeled off my shirt after training, her eyes narrowing as she reached out, fingers barely brushing over the nearly-healed claw marks."That’s not normal," she signed, eyes flicking up to mine.I already knew that. "I heal fast now that I'm an adult alpha?""Not this fast," she countered . "Do you think,"I exhaled. "It’s you."She nodded slowly. "We heal
