Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 87. In My Bones
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

LILA - It had been ten days since Lincoln and Castor destroyed Indy's apartment. Ten days of silence. I was still mad at both of them. After everything, they couldn't even put their hatred for each other aside, not for me, not for the baby. I wasn't about to deal with them until they showed up together, civil, acting like adults. Until then, they could both stay away.Indy and I had been at the Riverwalk house since that night. She'd practically dragged me here, saying I needed the space.I was glad she did.I could almost pretend none of the mess was happening. Almost.We spent most of our days getting things ready for the baby. It was the only part of this chaos that made me happy. Preparing for the life growing inside me despite everything going around it. Indy had been a constant distraction, helping me with everything, from picking out onesies to arguing over the perfect decor. Focusing on something that didn't involve Cast or Linc for a change was nice.I set down a plush baby

LILA - At seven months pregnant, my body felt ready to burst. The baby was huge, kicking constantly, reminding me that any day could be the one. Linc and Cast knew it too. They were starting to panic, though neither would admit it. I begrudgingly let them into a group chat with me. More to monitor how they communicated than anything else. I wasn't going to keep them out of important moments with the baby, but I also wasn't going to let them in until they showed me they could co-parent. I'd told them about the sonogram appointment, laying down a clear rule: they had to show up together, united. Otherwise, they weren't coming in.Force two alpha males to play nice wasn't easy. It went against every instinct they had, but they put me in this position, so they had to figure it out. I was done tolerating their egos. They had a week to work on it, and I made sure they knew I wasn't joking.Indy dropped me off at the clinic on the day of the appointment. I was more nervous about seeing Linc

CAST - Seeing my son on that screen changed everything. I’d known Lila was carrying him, but seeing his small body twisting inside her made it real in a way I wasn’t prepared for. That was our boy. The life we created. I stared at the sonogram longer than I should have, feeling something in my chest tighten. This wasn’t just about her or me anymore. We were responsible for him, and no matter what, we had to be the best parents we could be. That’s why I forced myself to work with Linc. Every part of me hated it. Hated seeing him around Lila, watching how they still moved around each other like they belonged together. But if I didn’t make it work or at least show her I could try, I knew she’d walk away from me for good. And I couldn’t let that happen. I had to prove to her that I could be the man she needed, be there for our son, and be something more than just the wreck she left behind. After showing her the house, after tearing everything apart to build it into something that did

LILA -When I walked into the Oxford house, I found Linc pacing in his office, talking to Luca. The moment he saw me, everything stopped. Without hesitation, he crossed the room and pulled me into a hug. "I missed you," he whispered against my skin, kissing the side of my face. He lingered at my ear. "I'm so damn glad you're back."I closed my eyes, letting him hold me. I missed him, too. There was no denying it, not to myself. Not to him. The pull between us had never gone away, even with everything else spinning out of control. It felt good to be here again, in his arms. But as much as I wanted to stay lost in him, I couldn't ignore the questions or reasons I was here.He sensed it before I said anything."Come with me," he said, pulling away but keeping his hand on mine. "I need to show you something."I followed him through the house.Every room felt lighter, more open. Like he'd erased the shadows and oppression that seemed to cling to the place. He led me down the hallway to a

His hands settled on my hips as I straddled him.The moment I sank onto him, everything inside me sparked to life. I savored the feeling as I kissed his neck and tasted the salt on his skin. He groaned loudly as he gripped my hips and guided me as I started sinking lower.I quickly grabbed his wrists and pinned them behind his head, holding them there as I looked into his eyes.His cocky grin faded. It was quickly replaced with a need that mirrored my own."Keep your hands there," I commanded, my lips brushing his ear as I spoke. It made my lips tingle and him moan."Yes, ma'am," he breathed.I rode him slow at first, moving my hips in circles, feeling every inch of him inside. His body tensed, his muscles tightening under mine, but he didn't move. I kissed his neck again, licking along the curve of his throat. I kept my pace steady, my lips on his neck. His pulse was pounding under my tongue. I tangled my hands in his hair. I jerked his head to the side so I could kiss and suck on

He groaned, and I felt his hands go limp in mine. His body relaxed against mine as he opened his eyes to look at me. He wasn't seeing anything but me. He wasn't thinking about anything but me. I was his world. His everything. He was mine. All mine. "Thrust."He obeyed instantly, his hips lifting off the bed just enough to push into me. I could feel the strain in his body, the way he struggled to maintain the control I demanded. His muscles tightened beneath my thighs, and a low groan escaped him as he fought to hold back."Good," I whispered, trailing my fingers over his wrists still locked behind his head. His chest rose and fell fast. Every inch of him screamed for release, but I wasn't letting him have it. Not yet."Do it again. Slower this time."His entire body shuddered as he lifted his hips, inch by inch, drawing out the movement like it was torture. The power I had over him, the control pushed me to the edge along with him. My body was on fire, each movement making my skin

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
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 217. Under Attack
CAST - The morning of the full moon was chaotic. Lila was a mess, and it wasn't just her—it was everything. She was overwhelmed, emotional, and I could tell the energy from the twins was making everything worse. Her emotions bounced all over the place, and it was impossible to know what would set her off or calm her down. Linc and I spent most of the day in and out of the bedroom, trying to comfort her. She couldn't settle, and every time she reached a moment of peace, something seemed to bring the turmoil back.I knew why she was on edge, and so did Linc. The full moon brought too much baggage, especially after what happened with Jaed. Her need to protect Declan overrode everything else. She didn't want to leave him alone, not with the energy vibrating between all of us. Finally, when it was getting too late to keep waffling, she pulled me aside, her gaze distant as she looked toward Declan's room."I can't go. Wady is great, but I can't leave him." Her hand rested over her stomach.
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 216. Curious
LINC - The moon was nearly full, adding another layer to the issues we were dealing with. Cast and I sat on the back steps of the pack house, watching the omegas finish their chores outdoors. We'd been stuck in this limbo all week. Ever since Phoebe's scent had clung to our walls like a stain, everything had shifted. It was just in our nature to doubt one another as bloodline Alphas. Conversations were heavier, movements slower to make sure we didn't trigger one another. It felt like we were wading through sludge, trying to decide who we could trust."So, we're splitting up again?" I finally asked. "Full moon in separate spots to keep from killing one another?"Cast nodded, his thumb tapping rhythmically against his knee. "Yeah. I'll head down to the basement here, and you can go back to the old place. It's the best way to keep things stable. Will Luca be here this time to keep an eye on things upstairs?"I nodded. "And Indy. Lila wants someone she trusts here with her and Declan."
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 215. Her
LILA -The full moon crept closer, and we needed a plan. A week had passed since we returned to find Phoebe's scent clinging to the house like an infection. None of us had shaken the unease it left behind. Cast and Linc had been restless, their tension crackling through the air as they tried to make sense of it. For me, the days had become a battle against a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Every time I thought I'd found solid ground, something else rose to unsettle me. The pregnancy only added fuel to the fire. The energy coursing through me prickled under my skin, relentless and demanding, urging me to protect and take charge.Cast had been slipping out more often, heading to see Kat. He wasn't exactly hiding it, but his efforts to keep it subtle weren't lost on me. He wanted to keep the peace and spare me any unnecessary friction. I understood his intentions, even if they didn't sit well. Kat had seemed kind enough before her entanglement with Cast, but things were different now.
Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion 214. Drop It
CAST - The room felt oppressive, its stale air clinging to my skin as I sifted through a stack of books. The pages blurred together, the words swimming uselessly in my vision. The scent of aged paper mingled with the faint tang of coffee lingering from earlier, a weak attempt at focus that had done nothing to help. My efforts to understand why Phoebe's scent was suddenly in the house felt futile. I had grown as restless as Linc was, but neither of us had answers. I slammed the book shut.Behind me, the door clicked open. I tensed, recognizing the familiar rhythm of Lila's footsteps. She paused in the doorway before crossing her arms and leaning against the wall. "Are you and Kat dating now? Or are you just dragging her along for fun?" I set the book down and looked at her. "I don't know, Lila. She's human. That makes things complicated."She scoffed. "Complicated how?"I sighed, leaning back against the table. "I want to move forward with her, but I'm scared. If I push too fast, s
