Shelter Mountain Novels & Stories

But here's the thing. What's a shelter? Ethan Brooks scratches his head and regrets that he hasn't watched more episodes of Wilderness Survival! But it's all in the mind of the beholder. Shelter, isn't that what it's all about, shelter from the wind and rain? One's shelter must depend on that rock wall, which itself is considered a shelter from the wind, and to keep out the rain, it must be built on a sloping surface for easy drainage. Ethan Brooks had a quick idea in his head of a herringbone-shaped nest with his back against a rock wall. The project was not a big one.

The shack sat high on the ridge like a parasite clinging to the mountain. It had once been an old ranger outpost—corrugated tin roof, warped wooden walls, a narrow porch facing the dark slope below. Mist drifted through the trees around it, swallowing sound and light. From the forest line below, four men watched it in silence.

The pain shoots up straight up her head and she gasps and cries out. I let her stay here while I ran out to look for shelter. We’ll need somewhere to hurdle up until this goes down. I swear I’d checked the weather forecast but with snow covered mountains like this, nothing is predictable. I see the ranger cabin only a distance away and although it looks slightly abandoned, I think it just might be the best next thing.

“Prepare to seal Areas A and B. Notify authorities that Aloysius von Rochester will reserve the road. Also, contact DTL Inc. to repair the roads and infrastructure tomorrow…Yes. I know they just fixed the park but they already know what to do. Yes…” ********** “I fought a monster, I did not fight a monster. I fought a monster, I did not fight a monster. I fought a monster, I did not fight a monster. I fought a monster, I did not fight a monster. I fought a monster, I did not fight a monster. I fought a monster, I did not fight a monster. I fought a monster, I did not fight a monster–” “Can you stop saying the same thing over and over again while plucking petals?!” Fruto yelled in an exhauste

"Well, I've told you about Phoenix. Then there's Cash, his brother lives with him but is sick. His brother raised him out here in the mountains, so he's a lot more isolated than the rest of us, but he's a good guy. He brings in furs and some handmade items." Turning on to the main road, I keep talking to calm my nerves. "Then, there is Bennett. While he lives further out than the three of us, he also has connections in town. He rents out some of his lands to the local ranchers and sells hunting supplies, bows, arrows and such." "It's such a different life out here and there's so much to know," she says. "You don't have to learn it all at once. It will come to you." "I'm not worried. I'm actu

"The question is if you want to push hard to Evercrest before then, or stay put and fortify." Caleb leaned forward, breaking the silence. "Guys, this winter is going to be the worst one in history. The sub-arctic temperatures are a huge threat, but the mountains in Evercrest will also suffer massive avalanches." The dining room went completely quiet as the weight of the newest threat sank in. The thought of a brutal freeze was bad enough, but an avalanche could bury an entire community in seconds. Jolie spoke up, breaking the tension. "What about the last shelter? It's on that rocky ridge only a mile from the Evercrest mountains. Wouldn't that location keep everyone safe from both the winter

“You can just barely make out the werewolf continent!” Chris chuckled as he followed my finger. There, off in the distance, was the peak of a mountain poking out through the haze of fog. Moonpeak Mountain—the tallest mountain in the entire werewolf continent, and also the location of Moonshine pack. “Have you visited there before?” Chris asked as we settled into our seats. “Moonshine pack, I mean?” I shook my head. “Never. It’s too far, and the mountain road to get there is treacherous.”

Morning arrives slowly over the mountain. The storm weakens into drifting snow while pale silver light spreads across the frozen cliffs and shattered sanctuary ruins below. The resonance pulses have grown quieter since dawn, but they still move faintly beneath the mountain like a living heartbeat buried under stone. No one leaves. Not the gathered wolves along the ridge. Not the fractured suppression teams. Not even the council escorts standing uneasily near the convoy below. The mountain has become something larger than a containment zone now. A witness.

1. Discovery Amidst Disarray The werewolf-protected refugee shelter, situated in a secluded and sprawling expanse of land, was a testament to resilience and unity. Covering multiple acres, this grand complex was an intricate maze of meticulously designed and interconnected structures. Each building, with its unique architecture, had a distinct purpose, ensuring that the myriad needs of every individual finding solace within its embrace were met. The shelter's walls, a blend of mysticism and modernity, bore the strength of ancient incantations combined with state-of-the-art engineering techniques. These formidable barriers were an unwavering symbol of protection, offering a solemn vow of safe

"Of course, sir. We'll take care of her." "Good. It's time I leave then." Adrian then turned to Strider and said, "Is there anything you'd like to add? Feel free to tell them anything." Strider said, "Sir, there's a pack of wolves at Strider Mountain that have been living there for more than ten years. The mountain is their home, so I hope you'll be able to protect them from being killed by hunters." "Leave it to me. Strider Mountain will be on lockdown, so nobody will be allowed in anymore," Angelo replied.
