Lahat ng Kabanata ng Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion : Kabanata 261 - Kabanata 270

LILA - The cold, sterile lights above me blurred into a harsh, endless glow as the bed wheeled forward. My chest felt tight, my breath shallow and quick as the nurses moved around me. "It's normal," one of them said, her tone steady as she adjusted the IV line. "This happens more often than you'd think. One twin finds their way, and the other decides they're not ready. Don't worry, sweetheart. We're going to take care of you and that baby." I focused on what she said, on the idea that this wasn't an emergency, just something that happened sometimes. Still, the fear was hard to let go of. The baby was stuck. They had to cut me open. It wasn't the natural way. My mind spun, desperate to find something to cling to, some reassurance that I and this baby would make it through.If it were worse, Linc wouldn't have been so calm, I reminded myself. He'd be tearing through the walls, demanding answers, flipping beds, doing anything to fix this. That thought kept me from losing it entirely. L

LINC - I didn’t remember the drive home. The journey blurred into headlights and turns, each one blending into the next. Pulling into the driveway, I barely registered the strange feelings Cast being the alpha on my land brought. It made me realize that I was done with this whole switching back and forth bullshit. If we were going to constantly be trading off and trying to keep the family afloat, then we both needed to remain alpha. Both of us. I'm not sure how the council would see it, but at that point, I didn't really care.Selena burst out of the house. She stopped short in front of me and waved me inside, scanning me from head to toe before stepping aside.I moved past her into the house, my body heavy with exhaustion. I turned to her as she shut the door. “The girls? How are they? Are they okay? Wady said someone called to say that she was in labor.”I dropped onto the couch as I caught my breath. “They’re perfect. Two tiny fighters. Strong lungs. Healthy despite being early

LILA - Maya had turned the office building into a makeshift apartment. The sterile white walls of the meeting room now cradled our hastily gathered belongings, every corner crowded with signs of our rushed relocation. I settled uneasily into the fold-out bed from an old couch, wincing at the sharp reminders from the surgery each time I moved. The twins rested against me as I watched Linc working on makeshift furniture and supply setups. I could already see the exhaustion in his eyes when he looked over at me. "It's just temporary, I promise. I will have you a decent bed ready by tonight.""Don't do that. This is amazing. I'm actually impressed you managed to pull this together for us." He just smiled at me as he continued putting together a frame. "You know they don't even have names yet?"I tilted my head and smiled. "Actually, we named them already. Cast and I… while you were out."He straightened. "Oh yeah? What did you decide?"I adjusted my position slightly. "Roxy and Cory."

CAST - The blackness pulled me deeper no matter how hard I fought. I clawed at the emptiness, my fingers grasping for something, anything, but there was nothing to hold on to. No light, no sound, no sense of direction. Just the void, endless and unrelenting.It shifted.At first, it was subtle. A pull, a sense of movement beneath me. I froze, straining to feel it again. It came back, stronger this time, a tug that sent a ripple through the suffocating dark. Something was pulling me. Moving me. The void wasn’t endless anymore.I didn’t know how long it lasted. Time didn’t exist here, just the relentless force of nothingness. The pull came again, and I felt a flicker of something else.Warmth. It wasn’t physical, more like the ghost of a sensation, but it was enough to latch onto. I clung to it, focusing every ounce of myself on that tiny spark.The pull turned into a steady rhythm, and with it came something sharper.Pain. A dull ache in my stomach, steady and unyielding. It didn’t be

LINC - The hospital decided to keep him for two more days. I hated the idea of staying here longer, but it wasn’t about me. Cast needed time to stabilize, and there was no argument I could make that would change that. He didn’t seem to mind, though. Every second was spent with Tory in his arms, so glued to her that I wasn’t sure he even noticed where he was. He never even questioned the name change.When he wasn’t holding her, it was only because he absolutely had to hand her off for a minute. Even then, he barely lasted long before he’d reach for her again, his focus narrowing in on her like nothing else in the world mattered. Watching him was both heartwarming and unsettling. Tory’s eyes didn’t make any sense. They were his color. His exact color. I couldn’t explain it, and every time I tried to bring it up, I found myself trailing off, unable to articulate what I felt. What I could tell they felt as well. Later that evening, as we sat in the room with Declan toddling around, Lil
