ANMELDENCrystal River PackIf Hadrian had known what Electra had gone through, he probably would have killed the Dark Sky pack himself. Especially the Alpha’s son. From the anger that he felt emanating from the pack leadership, he would have had their support.So much support that the Alpha had offered for him to have the next day’s shift off. Hadrian declined the offer, knowing that if the schedule was off, his girls would ask questions. And he did not want to expose his young and innocent daughters to those answers.Allison had taken the girls home and they were blissfully unaware of the hell that their beloved Electra was going through. The girls were excited to have a sleepover at Nana and Papas house tonight and with Amberley tomorrow. When they arrived home, Electra was exhausted - emotionally, mentally and physically. Hadrian drew her a bubble bath in the large soaker tub and helped her strip out of her clothes. Reminding himself that no matter how much he wanted to destroy those legg
Crystal River PackCeleste sat at her desk in her office listening to the man in front of her drone on. And on. And on. He had been going on for so long, she no longer even knew what the meeting was about. She hid a giggle with a cough as a funny thought ran through her head.This is the meeting that never ends, it just goes on and, on my friend, no one knows what it’s about, some shithead started talking and now I’m going to die in the meeting that never fucking ends…The knock on the door caused him to pause, but only for a moment. Before she had even called for Anna to enter, he was back in full swing. Please, goddess, Celeste prayed, kill me now.“I’m sorry, Mrs. O’Donnell,” Anna said, and Celeste remembered that the man was human. No wonder he couldn’t get to the point. Why could she not smell that? “Yes, Anna?” she asked with a smile. “I hate to intrude, but there is a detective here that needs to speak with you about an incident.” Anna wore a short pink dress with cap sl
Crystal River PackThe following weekend, Allison came and got Electra on Saturday morning after Hadrian got home from his shift. They went to the mall in Crystal Springs and Electra admitted that she had not been to a mall since before she turned thirteen. When she did not get her wolf, restrictions started. Where she could go became smaller. Who she could associate with shrank. But the worst was yet to come. Standing in the swimsuit department of one of the stores, Electra looked for a conservative swimsuit like what she had competed in. Everything here was too skimpy and would leave her exposed. Her scars would be on display for everyone to see.“Oh! This is adorable,” Allison handed her a bikini and pushed her towards the dressing room. “Miss Allison, I can’t wear this,” Electra said quietly. She looked at the red Gingham two-piece with a formed top and cheeky cut that very closely resembled a thong. “Nonsense, you have a kick ass body.”Electra entered the small room and chan
Crystal River PackHadrian sat on the back porch of his parent’s house with his dad and brother. The three men looked similar with short red hair and clean faces. The father wore a pair of denim shorts and a black t-shirt declaring he’s a grandpa - the man, the myth, the legend. Hadrian wore khaki shorts and his firefighters like it hot t-shirt. His brother wore black shorts and a gray CPPD shirt. All three were barefoot on the wooden deck. Aiden manned the grill while his sons kept him company. He watched his oldest son sitting at the glass top table watching the woman inside with his daughters. “What’s going on with you two?” Gerard asked his brother as he leaned against the deck railing. Looking guilty, he turned away from the window, “I don’t know.” “Don’t know? Or won’t say?” their father pressed as he moved over and activated the outdoor white noise machine on the wall by the backdoor. “I really can’t explain it,” he took a drink of his beer as looked through the door agai
Crystal River PackIt was the last day of their one-week trial period. The house had never been cleaner. His girls had never been happier. And Blaze had never been grumpier. Hadrian knew why. It was that dark eyed beauty that was already in the kitchen. Blaze was thumping his tail at the thought of her. They wanted her.Throwing off the dark gray comforter and sheet, he went to the attached bathroom. Turning on the shower so the water could heat up, he stepped out of his black pajama pants. Stepping under the spray, he hissed when water hit his back. Hadrian had been sent home after being burned by a falling beam during a house fire yesterday. His back was almost healed, but it was still tender. When he arrived home unexpectedly, the girls were having lunch and Electra was on her hands and knees cleaning the trim along the floor. The first thing he saw was her round ass in the air. The image popped into his mind and Blaze yipped with excitement. Hadrian imagined lifting her blue s
Crystal River PackGerard studied the young woman sitting on the floor with her back against the dark blue couch. Her brightly colored hair was the splash of color that this house and family needed. Looking at the gray walls of the living room, he again thought about how the sadness of his brother and nieces permeated the house. Various shades of gray covered the house, inside and out.Except for the kitchen, his eyes were drawn to the avocado green cabinets at that thought. Hadrian needed to just decide what shade of gray was going in there. Then bite the bullet and buy the paint.Suddenly, Electra gasped at a scene in the Captain Marvel movie, and he snapped a discreet picture of her. She was leaning forward, eyes wide and mouth open in surprise. It was as if she were amazed that there were female superheroes.How was that possible? It was amazing to him that when the girls suggested a Marvel Movie, and he knew which one it would be, they had to explain what Marvel was. He decided t

Crystal River PackThere was a light knock on the front door at six o’clock in the morning. Hadrian closed the refrigerator door and walked to the door. The multicolored cabinets no longer even caught his attention as he passed. But the small dirty finger and handprints on the glass sidelights did.
Crystal River Pack“I miss my mommy sometimes.” Marie admitted quietly and the conversation among the adults suddenly stopped. “That’s normal, little one.” Electra said gently. “There will always be a part of you that misses her. And it’s okay to be angry with her. Just don’t let that anger or sad
