All Chapters of Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion : Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

DECLAN - The steps outside the school had become my throne. I leaned back, elbows resting against the warm concrete, my shirt half-unbuttoned. I had the sleeves rolled up just enough to let the breeze graze my skin and spread my scent through the courtyard. The afternoon sunlight clung to the lingering humidity, but it didn't bother me. Nothing really did these days except the heat. I felt the power simmering beneath my skin. Everyone else did, too. It wasn't just the way I carried myself or the way I never had to say a word to get attention. It was more than that. My name, Declan Roman-Oxford, came with a legacy stitched into every syllable. Heir to both of Georgia's dominant packs, it wasn't a secret. Even if it were, the way people gravitated toward me made it impossible to hide. Girls never left me alone. Ever. Even a few of the guys seemed to struggle. They hovered now, clustered in a half-circle like moths drawn to a flame they couldn't resist. I didn't even need to look up

DECLAN - The wolf's weight pressed into my chest, its breath hot and heavy against my skin. I didn't flinch. We'd been here before, more times than I could count."Get off me," I muttered, glaring up at the massive black wolf.It hesitated, a low growl rumbling in its throat, eyes locked onto mine like it was daring me to push my luck. When I didn't, she leaned in, snapping her jaws just inches from my face. I thought she'd ignore me, maybe even pin me down harder, but then she stepped back, claws dragging against the dirt near my head like she wanted me to know she could've done worse. I let out a sharp breath, pushing myself to my feet. I brushed the dirt from my jeans like her little stunt hadn't bothered me, but it had. Still, the last thing I needed was to give her satisfaction."Shift back," I snapped, crossing my arms over my chest. "I'm not talking to you like this."The wolf's eyes gleamed with something between defiance and amusement. After an uneasy pause, bones cracked,

DECLAN - I made a beeline for the stairs, ignoring the ache in my muscles from the training field. The shower was all I could think about, but even as the cold water hit my skin, it didn't help. The heat inside me was worse. Too hot. Too demanding. Like my skin was stretched too tight over something bigger.The moon wasn't even full yet. Still a few days off. Not that it mattered. I wasn't supposed to shift since I hadn't had my birthday yet. I really hoped it wouldn't feel like this for an entire cycle. I may die before the next full moon. I kept replaying everything from today like it was stuck on a loop. The cafeteria fight wasn't just some random outburst. I saw that guy from the bear pack, all smug, thinking he had the right to put his arm around that younger girl like she didn't have a choice. She was uncomfortable, trying to pull away, but he wouldn't let up. Something snapped in me. I didn't think. I just acted. The moment my fist connected with his face and I saw his nose b

DECLAN - I couldn't stand it any longer. Staying in the house felt like being trapped in a cage, and every second I spent there made it harder to breathe. At least I didn't have school tomorrow. They always gave us the day off before the full moon and the day of, like that was supposed to make it easier. I was happy to have two days off, sure, but I wasn't ready for the full moon. Not even close. I would either shift for the first time or realize I would deal with this heat for 30 more days. I threw on a hoodie and some old jeans, trying to ignore the burning sensation creeping through me. The idea of talking to the spirits made my stomach churn, but anything was better than sitting here with this heat. The walk to the burned-down house felt endless. My steps were heavy like the ground itself resisted every move. The woods, usually familiar and comforting, felt different tonight. The usual sounds of nocturnal animals were absent like they knew better than to be out here. Maybe I s

DECLAN -Darkness swallowed me whole, and when I surfaced, I was in my room. The walls blurred together, familiar but meaningless. Nothing felt real. My breathing came too fast, my limbs useless against the frantic energy. Gaia. She had saved me. She wasn't here. I shoved the blankets off, moving before my body caught up. "Where is she?" Mom didn't move fast enough. "Where is she?! She was just here! Where did she go? I need to see her!" I swung my legs over the side of the bed, but the second I pushed to my feet, the world rocked. Nausea tore through my stomach and up my throat, sending my balance off. My knees barely held, but I refused to stop. Gaia needed me. If she shifted without warning, she wouldn't hear the danger coming. That thought latched onto something primal, twisting deeper, clawing at my ribs. My skin. My mind. She was fast, strong, and more intelligent than most in the pack, but without her hearing, she wouldn't know if something was sneaking up on her. Sh
