Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 81. Big Plans
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,

The sound of metal bending filled the air, and it was all I could hear. Linc was breaking through the bars of his cell, his wolf slamming into the metal with relentless force. Each hit was like a drumbeat in my chest, growing louder and more frantic. I couldn't stop shaking. I was scrambling for a way to fix this before it was too late. But Linc was out of control, and there was no stopping him once he broke free.Selena didn't seem to care. Her wolf paced outside the cell, her eyes locked on me and Cast. The growls coming from her were low and constant, almost like she wasn't even aware of what Linc was doing. She was so focused on us like something rabid had taken hold of her. The wildness in her eyes made me shiver, and the longer she stared, the more I realized she was waiting for something. Cast stood at the front of the cell, holding the door shut with his entire body. His muscles tensed with every crash of metal from Linc's cell, but he didn't move. He couldn't let Selena or

LILA - The way he looked at me, it was like he'd already resigned himself to hearing a decision that would break him. But I couldn't handle the demand right now, not after everything that had just happened. Both of them were slumped on the ground, naked and spent, barely able to keep themselves upright after shifting back."Don't do this," I snapped. "Don't make me pick right now. You won't like the answer."Neither of them replied. They looked just as torn apart as I felt. Linc seemed to be having trouble breathing, his eyes fixed on the floor like he was already losing a fight he hadn't even started yet. His shoulder was a solid bruise from where he'd repeatedly hit the bars. Cast leaned against the cell door, his skin bruised and streaked with dried blood. They were too worn out to argue further, but the strain between them was like an open wound."I'm getting help," I said as I made Cast shift so I could open the door. "Stay here, and don't do anything stupid. I'm not kidding."

CAST - Linc crawled across the bed, or at least tried to. The word fiancée burned in my ears, and before I could think, I shoved him back, sending him sprawling to the floor. I stayed where I was, barely managing to stay upright myself. We were both too weak to fight for real, but the adrenaline from hearing him call Lila his fiancée flooded me like fire. Fiancée? That meant they were already planning on getting married. Holy shit. The reality hit me hard. It would be so much harder to win her back if she became his wife. I had been clinging to the idea that there was still time, that I could somehow pull us back together. But if they were already talking about a wedding...Linc let out a low, pained breath as he struggled to sit up on the floor, glaring up at me. “You think you can just claim her because she’s carrying your baby? You threw away your chance when you cheated on her. Or have you forgotten that part?”“Don’t pretend like you’re the answer to her problems,” I snapped ba

CAST - I woke up with Linc sprawled on the floor beside the bed. He was completely out cold. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the fog from the night before. Lila hadn't stayed long after forcing us to share the bed. The instant we started bickering again, she'd left, leaving Linc and me to deal with our mess.Or ignore each other, which we'd both chosen.I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood. I couldn't sit around anymore. I headed for the cells. The pack's underground cells were damp and smelled strongly of blood. I found Selena sitting inside one of them, looking rough. She was awake, but her eyes were glassy, and she glared at me through the bars. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in bruises and blood."Look at you," she sneered, shifting up on the bench. "Here to gloat? Or did she send you to punish me?""Selena, you tried to hurt the mother of my child," I spat. "What did you expect?" I gripped the bars, staring at her.She shrugged. "I don't c

LILA -I swung the door open to find Mrs. Roman standing there, her presence as imposing as ever. Her hair was black again, shedding the unnatural gray she'd been sporting.A calculated change to reclaim her intimidating aura. Without so much as a greeting, she brushed past me into Indy's apartment like she owned the place."You little parasite," she spat, turning to face me in the middle of the living room. "Think you can worm your way back into his life just because you're carrying his child? Like that suddenly makes you worthy?"I closed the door behind her, steadying myself before I turned to face her. I wasn't going to allow her to do this. Not here, not now. Not anymore.Indy appeared at the edge of the hallway. She stepped forward, ready to intervene, but I held up a hand to stop her. This was my fight."You don't get to talk to me like that," I said without flinching. "Not anymore. I'm not afraid of you."She scoffed. "Not afraid? You should be. You've already ruined his lif

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
