Horseshoe Overlook Novels & Stories

Then they were off. They rode side by side, Chase's horse a slight step ahead of hers, leading the way. They headed east first so he could check the fence again. She was pleased there weren't any breaks along the line this time to disrupt their ride. After about an hour, they made their way to a grassy knoll on a point that overlooked the ranch house in the distance. They loosened the cinches and tethered their horses, then sat on a blanket Chase had tied to the back of his saddle to take in the view. "If you look through those tall pines, you can see the house from here," he said, pointing. "Look there, by those birch trees. Do you see it?"

I should’ve brought a sweater, but I wasn’t planning on staying so late. The tide has come in. The river that feeds the lagoon flows too strongly now to swim across. On the other side of the river, a bridge spans over the lagoon to connect the beach with the island. Another bridge at the back of the island leads to the main road that runs to town. A ninety-degree bend on the right diverts to the beachfront. Our mansion stands on the highest hill at the end of that road, right on the edge, overlooking the massive dunes and a stretch of sand so long you can see Himamaylan in the north and Dancalan Bay in the south.

Caleb says with a polite smile, as he turns off the engine. Coastal Cove is nestled at the back of the resort, overlooking the ocean with a breathtaking view of the sunset, and the exterior is designed to resemble a beachy laid-back vibe with natural wood accents, nautical ropes, and colorful beach umbrellas. The entrance is marked by a large, wooden sign with the coastal cove logo, sound of waves crashing against the shore creates a soothing ambiance.

Everyone looked at the cracked pavement beneath their feet. Caleb’s face went slack. “I would like to formally object to standing in this ominous location.” Rowan turned slowly, scanning the overlook. Gabriel moved at the same time. The overlook was larger than Evelyn had first thought, half-eaten by weeds and bordered by thick trees. At the far end, beyond the collapsed scenic rail, a small maintenance shed sat tucked against the slope. Its door hung crooked. A bent antenna rose behind it, nearly hidden among branches. She had noticed it.

I place Honey-Belle down so she can sniff around. The view is amazing, beneath us is the pool area it’s Olympic size with chairs and recliners, I can just about make out hanging lights I bet it’ll look beautiful at night. From the balcony I can also see the Colorado River and it’s a stunning sight. “Gorgeous.” I breathe. “How the other half live.”

The sun was getting lower in the sky, and I knew the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Higher and higher, we climbed. I heard Harlow squeal as she looked down at the dead drop off the side of the road. We finally came to my favorite lookout over the town at the top of a plateau. A place I went when I wanted to be alone. Not even Blayze knew about this spot. When the bike finally came to a stop, we dismounted and removed our helmets. The lights of Gnaw Bone glowed below us to the east as the sky melded into hues of orange and purple over the desert to the west.

A little half way up the east side of the mountain is an water fall, with a huge pool of water right under it. In the middle of the horseshoe, is the MoonLight Pack. Which spans about 20 to 30 acres. To the North and South sites the temples of the moon goddesses. Which a line with a space between the peaks of the mountain, which allows the moon and temples to a line twice a year. In the Middle of the Pack is a big stone work showing the packs symbol, a full moon with white wolf looking up at it and her beta keeping a look out. Making sure that she is safe at all times. Then, when the full moon rises into the night sky, right over the packs symbol, it's light shines show bright, it feels like

I said, though I was already wondering if I should be worried about that persistence. "There's this overlook about an hour's hike from our main settlement," she continued, gracefully allowing the subject change. "You can see three different mountain ranges from there, and the way the morning light hits them..." She gestured with her hands, trying to capture the image. "It's breathtaking." "Sounds beautiful, something Carson and Astraia might enjoy too. It would be nice to see it sometime." The words came out before I could stop them. "I'd love to show you around personally," she said.

“Oh . . . wow.” Hannah let the car roll to a stop along the Cove road as she stared down the short stretch of Pelican Bay shoreline, then out to the Point, where the McCraes’ lighthouse stood, a proud old sentry, historic and beloved. The sun was just rising above the horizon line behind it, casting it in a pinkish-golden halo of light.

“I doubt he’d like it very much.” Goddess above. I didn’t think she had it in her. “I think he’d be the only one feeling that way.”I resist the urge to bite down on my lower lip when that blush paints her skin a deep, rosy pink. What the fuck is my problem? A chorus of gasps ring out behind us, and the moment dissolves as quickly as it came. Posey rises to see the new startling view of the lake. Rocky cliffs overlook the water, the forest continuing above us rather than on all sides, and I angle the boat to continue riding the shore until the cliff edge splits, revealing a cove of pure, glassy water.
