Crystal River PackAfter Wyatt had come home from the navy and became Alpha, he made several changes. The two sister cities, Crystal Pass and Crystal Springs, interacted more. They even began a friendly rivalry with several Guns and Hoses events benefiting the Widows and Orphans programs for both cities police and fire departments. His town, Crystal Pass, hosted an outdoor event every weekend during summer. The monthly outdoor movie held on the second Saturday was one of the most popular. People would begin gathering around six and the movie started at sundown. The movie was projected on the smooth white wall of the library that faced the city park.Marie and Emily carried their chairs and backpacks to their usual spot next to the oak tree. Gerard and his wife Kiara were already there. The Alpha and a young woman were also there. Gerard worked for the police department and was relaxed around the Alpha. Hadrian was not.Although Alpha Wyatt and his unusual Luna, Celeste, always seeme

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. Peeking through the sidelights, he was surprised to find Electra on his front porch with two grocery bags. “I thought we said seven.” Hadrian said, opening the door. He was still in the pajama pants that the girls gave him for Christmas. They were blue with red fire trucks all over them. He was shirtless because he was certain that his girls did not understand why everyone always laughed at the matching shirt that declared firefighters like it hot.“I’m sorry. I can wait if you want,” she said looking down. Stepping back, he opened the door wider for her to enter, “No, go ahead and come in. I was about to figure out breakfast.”“I brought stuff to make pancakes.” She said walking in but

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 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 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
