Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 76. Not Animals
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

LINC - When I woke up that morning, I felt it in my bones. Something had shifted. The pack was mine. It wasn't official yet, but I knew once Astin was no longer an issue, no one would challenge me for the title. I could feel the power settling into place. Finally, I could take care of things the way they should've been handled all along.Cast wasn't in the bed when I woke up. He must have slipped out early, probably attempting to avoid the awkwardness. I was grateful for that. I wasn't sure what I would've done if I'd woken up to see him still there, lying next to Lila. My Luna. It had been easier to ignore before when I wasn't fully alpha yet. But now, I didn't know how I'd react if he touched her in front of me. There was a primal part of me that wouldn't tolerate it anymore.I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her. She looked so peaceful, curled up under the blankets, and I knew the day ahead would be anything but peaceful. She needed this rest. She'd been through enough, a

LILA - When Linc asked me to marry him, it felt like my world tilted. He was offering me everything. His pack, his future, his love...but I wasn't sure I could give him what he wanted. Not yet. Not with everything else, especially with the full moon coming. So I told him I would, but after the shift, there was no way I could handle both him and Cast transforming and then thinking about a marriage on top of it all.Linc seemed to understand, even if he didn't say anything immediately. I could tell he was a little disappointed, but I just couldn't bring myself to think about anything else right now. He told Cast to come shift on Oxford land, promising him safety. Still, I begged them both not to run free. They needed to be secured. I didn't care how confident they were that they could control themselves, that everything would be fine. I wasn't willing to take that risk. They'd tear each other apart if one wrong look passed between them in wolf form, and I couldn't survive losing eithe

Cast pushed me softly toward the back of the cell, his wolf form looming over me. I braced, pressing my hands against the cold metal wall behind me. His growl rumbled in my chest as he came closer, his muzzle inches from my face.I didn't move. His growls weren't meant to scare or intimidate me, not this time. His eyes locked on mine, and I could feel something in him pulling back. He was trying to communicate, trying to make me understand something.Then, his rough tongue swept over my cheek, a strange, almost gentle motion for something so primal. The tension in my body eased ever so slightly. He wasn't angry with me. This wasn't about control or domination. This was something else. His wolf was trying to say something, but I wasn't sure what.He whipped around, his body low to the ground, focusing entirely on Selena's wolf outside the cell. He snarled louder this time. He paced toward the front of the cell, standing in front of me like a barrier. His stance was all dominance now,

Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 226. Both Of You
LINC - I didn't remember him doing it. Cast didn't remember either. Even Lila, shaking and pale, said she had no recollection of the bite. Yet, as we sat there on the bed in the pool house, trying to piece it all together, his mark stood out darker than mine. It wasn't subtle. It wasn't something we could brush off. We all sat there, unable to articulate the emotions bouncing heavily between us. Between the three of us. She was caught in the middle, her entire body shaking. One hand was pressed to the mark on her neck, the other resting over her stomach. I sat on one side of her, Cast on the other, and we both touched her in the same way. A hand on her knee, the other on her back, trying to steady her, or maybe ourselves. She shifted between us restlessly, leaning against me for a moment, then to him. Her breathing was uneven, and I couldn't stop running my fingers lightly over her skin, trying to calm her. Cast and I didn't look at each other. We couldn't. We didn't need to.
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 225. Us
CAST -I wasn't sure why it happened. Why Linc let it happen. Why any of us did. It was like the moment had taken on a life of its own, and we were just caught in its current. She had crumbled onto the floor, overwhelmed by how we were acting. I couldn't leave her there. I bent down and scooped her up, her body slack against me, and something in the way she folded into my arms shattered the last of my restraint.Her lips were right there, and I didn't think before kissing her. It wasn't soft or cautious. It was the kind of kiss that demanded more. Her lips pressed back against mine, but then she broke away, looking toward Linc. He was already behind her, his hands resting on her sides, his fingers dragging in slow, deliberate patterns on her growing belly. She looked caught between us, her breaths uneven as her eyes darted back to me. She was about to panic."You need us both, don't you? Just… just let it happen." My lips brushed hers again, desperate to pull her back to me.Her att
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 224. Broke
Declan’s breathing finally evened out, his tiny body curling against me in complete trust. I placed him back in his crib, smoothing the blanket over him as gently as I could. The nursery quieted again, leaving just the soft hum of the baby monitor in the corner.I turned to CeCe, still sitting on the floor near the crib. Her hands rested in her lap, and her focus stayed on Declan. “He’s fine now. You should go back to your room and get some sleep.”She hesitated, biting her lip. “Helena’s in there… busy.”I raised a brow. “Busy?”She shifted awkwardly. “With her boyfriend. I don’t really want to walk in on that.”I crossed my arms, leaning back against the edge of the crib. “Are they being safe?”“As best they can,” she admitted, looking at her hands. “The healers won’t exactly help with that kind of thing. It’s… hard to get what we need.”“That’s just the old traditions still lingering,” I explained. “The healers were scared of the old alpha and stuck to whatever rules kept them out
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 223. Just Tell Me
LINC - Her skin was soft and smooth beneath my hands as I traced the curves of her body. I felt the goosebumps rise on her skin as I kissed her neck. The way she responded to my touch left no doubt. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. We fit together perfectly. My fingers slid over her back, savoring the warmth radiating from her. She leaned into me, her breath feathering against my neck as I pulled her closer. Her hands roamed, exploring me in ways that made everything else dissolve into nothingness. The sound of her heartbeat thrummed against my chest, grounding me in the moment, in her. My mouth moved over her skin, tasting every inch. She arched under me, her body soft and eager. I pulled back just enough to look at her, but the shadows covered her face. "I need you," I murmured, letting my lips find hers again. The kiss built into something that made us feel endless. Like our bodies could melt together and become one. My body moved against hers as I growled against her
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 222. Love Him
LILA - The knock startled me. My body stiffened as I clung to the remnants of composure, the ache in my chest almost unbearable. Cast turned off the shower and stepped out, grabbing a towel. I watched him wrap it around himself and head for the door. He seemed far too calm for this. "I've got it," he said, glancing back briefly.I didn't respond. The nausea still twisted in my stomach, and the bond with Linc burned at the edges of my mind, an unwelcome intrusion that wouldn't stop.Cast opened the door, sticking his head out just enough to block whoever it was from seeing inside. "I just finished showering, and Lila's getting cleaned up now. She threw up all over both of us," he explained, his voice casual like it wasn't a blatant lie. "I'll be out in a minute."I froze, heat flushing through me. Not from embarrassment but from pure fury.Before I could think twice, I grabbed a towel and stepped out of the shower, forcing down the bile rising in my throat. The lie was too much, and
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 221. Take It
CAST -The night stretched endlessly, each tick of the clock reminding me I wasn't going to sleep anytime soon. Tessa had adjusted my meds earlier in the week, upping the dosage just enough to screw with me. It wasn't the first night I'd spent like this, wide awake while the rest of the pack slept. It was starting to wear me thin.Kat, on the other hand, was out cold. Her body rested against mine, curled into my chest like she couldn't get close enough. The warmth of her breath skimmed my skin, steady and soft, the kind of rhythm that should've been calming. I trailed my hand over her back, tracing idle patterns out of habit more than intent.The room we were in wasn't really ours. It belonged to Lila, and she had Declan here, then briefly to me when I didn't have anywhere else to go. Now it was just "the extra," a placeholder no one had claimed outright. Yet, it was starting to feel like ours. Our stuff was scattered across the dresser and floor, the bed smelled like her shampoo, an
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 220. The Sooner The Better
LINC - The road stretched ahead, cutting through familiar territory and leading us toward the human city. My eyes darted to the rearview mirror more often than I wanted to admit. Cast and Kat sat in the backseat, wrapped up in their own little bubble.Cast had her pulled against him, whispering something that made her shoulders shake with quiet laughter. Their heads tilted together, foreheads brushing occasionally, like they couldn't bear the thought of any distance.I told myself to be happy for them. They deserved it, after everything. But no matter how hard I tried, the sight made something twist inside me.Lila sat beside me, her hand resting lightly in mine, but it might as well have been someone else's hand for all the connection I felt. Her grip barely registered, her fingers slack against mine. She wasn't even pretending to care about the passing scenery. Her eyes stayed fixed on the window, distant and unfocused.I could feel the anxiety radiating from her, though she tried
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 219. Not Playing
LILA - Linc returned hours later without anything other than more exhaustion and cuts and bruises all over his body. He'd tracked over the entire property inch by inch and could not find Pheobe's scent anywhere else but in the nursery. It was unnerving, to say the least. The house felt different tonight. I moved down the hallway, trying to settle my breathing, trying to put the pieces together. Phoebe's scent, that unmistakable presence, was still here, still staining everything with questions. And I had to get to the bottom of it before it shattered the fragile ground Linc and I were walking on.The girl who smelled like Phoebe had been with Declan earlier, changing his diaper. Feeding him, burping him, and her hands all over him all day. She'd been in that nursery all afternoon. She'd never left, according to multiple people. I walked into the room where we'd confined her. I wouldn't allow them to keep her in the cold basement. She looked up, startled, and I could see her anxiet
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 218. Find Her
LINC - Phoebe's scent hit me hard, sharper, and more potent than ever before. It nearly dropped me where I stood, my wolf surging to the surface in chaotic waves. It rooted itself in my instincts and refused to let go. My entire body reacted violently, muscles tensing as my wolf clawed for control. I wanted to fight it, to reject every maddening urge it awakened, but the instincts were overwhelming. All I could think about was the need to hunt, to claim, to dominate. I hated all of it.The basement air carried the acrid tang of lingering shifts. The full moon always left its mark, draining energy from our bodies and our minds. I didn't want Lila away from me during the shift, but the plan had been the safest for everyone. She'd stayed upstairs with Declan while Cast and I had been confined below, locked in the reinforced cells to ensure no one else bore the brunt of our transformations.As my limbs ached from the shift, the exhaustion was intense. Knowing Declan was safe upstairs h
