Semua Bab Pregnant Luna - Lawful Rebellion : Bab 71 - Bab 80

I flipped the last pancake onto the plate. I was on autopilot. Linc's voice echoed from the shower down the hall, the sound of running water barely drowning it out. He was humming all carefree while I stood here unraveling.I'm glad someone was happy.The soft creak of a floorboard snapped me out of my trance, and I turned just in time to see Cast stroll into the kitchen. His eyes locked on me the second he walked through the doorway. He sat at the bar, silently watching my every move. I could almost feel his exhaustion. I hated that he could still do that.Ignoring him, I plated up a stack of pancakes and added a handful of strawberries I'd cut up earlier and berries before setting it down in front of him. He picked up a fork and slowly, methodically, began to eat.I didn't dare look at him, busying myself with wiping down the counter, rearranging things that didn't need rearranging. Every second felt like an hour, but I couldn't leave. Not yet. Not until Linc got out of the damn sho

I stood at the door, hand resting on the knob. Cast had asked to come in, and even though every part of me screamed not to, I stepped aside and let him pass. He walked straight to the bed, sitting down heavily before leaning back and staring at the ceiling.I didn't close the door.It felt strange having him here. The familiarity between us was undeniable, but so was the distance. I stayed by the door for a moment, watching him. Waiting for him to do something, say something. He didn't. His eyes remained fixed on the ceiling.I pushed away from the doorway and started peeling off the ruined dress. The smell of vomit lingered on the fabric, sour and sharp, and I tossed it aside, stepping into the bathroom.I didn't close the bathroom door then, either.I half expected him to sneak a glance, but he didn't. He just stayed there, lost in his own world, oblivious to me stripping down and scrubbing my skin clean.Part of me hated that he wasn't looking, but another part was relieved. I pull

LINC - I sat in my office, tapping my pen on the desk. My mind was miles away from the stacks of files before me. The plan was to make this quick. I hated being here, hated leaving Lila back at the house with Cast. I should have brought her with me. She would have been safer, or at least, I'd feel better knowing she wasn't around him. I'd promised myself I wouldn't let it bother me, that we could make this work. But the longer I stayed in this office, the more the idea made me restless.Luca knocked on the door, sliding in before I even answered. He'd been holding down the firm for weeks, managing most of the day-to-day cases while I handled my mess."Hey, I need your signature on this," he said, tossing a folder on my desk. "Simple land dispute. Nothing major.""Just forge it," I muttered, barely glancing at the papers. "I trust you."Luca chuckled but shrugged. "You sure?"I nodded. The quicker I finished here, the quicker I could get back to Lila. I leaned back in my chair, tryi

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

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
