Swift Wash Crystal Lake Novels & Stories

I try to go after her. Two wolves in the hallway step into my path. “Doctor Vayne needs space,” one of them says. Translation: you’re not welcome. I look at their faces. The realization stings more than I expected. I turn around and walk the other way. The lake is ten minutes from the lodge through the tree line. I find it by accident, following a path until the trees open up. The water is dark and still, the moon cutting a white line across the center of it.

Tonight, it was a familiar, comforting silver orb, casting long, elegant shadows through the dense canopy of pine and ironwood. They were headed to the Whispering Lake, a secluded, crescent-shaped body of water nestled in a forgotten valley miles from the main settlement. It was a place untouched by pack politics, untainted by the blood of the trial ring, and entirely removed from the judging eyes of the elders. It was just water, stone, and the watching stars.

As far as you can see, the mountainside is lit with the soft glow of homes built on its ledges. Lauren stops us and looks down the line. "I would suggest removing your shoes." We all do. "Everyone ready?" We all nod, and the four of us go into the lakeside by side. Harley's voice is a whisper in my head, 'I love you, Nick.' She gripped my hand tighter. 'And I love you more, Harley.' Crystal-clear water coats our skin with a cool yet heavy embrace as it swallows us, while a strong whiff of wild honeysuckle wafts across the lake with the breeze.

A faint glow shimmered ahead, and I heard the steady dripping of water. Elara gasped as we stepped inside. “Kael… this place…” We emerged into the heart of the cave, which held a secret lake that spread wide and still. Its surface caught the light of a shaft that pierced the ceiling far above. The water was so clear it reflected like glass, glowing faintly blue from the crystals embedded in the rocks. “This,” I said quietly, “is my sanctuary. No one comes here. Not even Jack knows. Her lips parted as she walked closer, drawn to the shimmering lake. “It’s beautiful…”

Vlora's soothing words and warm hand made Maddox confident and he was sure of whatever decision he makes, his family is going to support him. Crystal moved in sleep, she was having a bad dream...gasping she uttered something. Vlora and Maddox exchanged looks when Crystal mumbled, "Swamp Goddess..." Both of their breaths hitched when they heard that she was the one watching the Goddess in her dream. Is was nearly night, the sun had set and the dark clouds took over the sky. "People of Czar Land! My niece and the youngest wolf in the Dasher family has seen a very bad dream...about Swamp Goddess..."

she growled. “LIAR….. he tried to f**king RAPE her you deluded SL*T” Jake roared. With that Crystal ran toward me aiming the knife at me but was knocked aside by Jake. “Ahhh” she screamed as she realised she missed me and the knife ended up grazing her own ankle.

Just like his brother, he did not need to say the unspoken declaration. It was a short drive from the house to Fire Station Two on the main road through the city of Crystal Pass. They were located almost exactly in the center of the Crystal River territory. The actual center of the territory sat between them and the nearby town of Crystal Springs. Where Crystal Pass was made up mainly of werewolves, Crystal Springs was considered the human, or pila, town.

It's very quiet here and Lilly liked this place as it is surrounded by the green forest. There in the middle of the lake, several beautiful swans were bathing, cleaning their pure white feathers with their beak. The movements they made were graceful, adding an elegant impression they already had. Lilly even asked Finn if those were wild swans or mystical creatures that lived here. But according to Finn, those were just wild swans that they deliberately put in the lake to beautify the view. Indeed, this lake is an artificial lake. Lilly was shocked and couldn't believe it when Luca told her that they had dug this lake themselves since they were teenagers. Declan and Finn confirmed the story m

"I noticed that when I went swimming yesterday. It's way deeper than it looks." "I saw you swimming yesterday," he said, satisfied when he saw her blush. "And yes, the water is incredibly clear. All these lakes were formed by glaciers, which is why they're so deep. Lake Miranda has some spots that are over two hundred feet deep. And the good thing is, these lakes remain fairly unpolluted. I, for one, would like to keep it that way." Shasta watched him thoughtfully. Blake was clearly passionate about the wilderness that was his home. "It's a beautiful place."

She should have thought she wasn’t so strong as to see what had fallen into the lake. But Crystal was not willing to go ashore now that she was in the water. She looked in the direction of the window and estimated where her watch would fall. Actually, the lake was not very big. The villa was built in the middle of the lake, where the bridges were illuminated on all four sides. The light shone clear on the lake. Even so, Crystal still couldn’t find it. She looked so hard that she did not know that a car had stopped on the road in the dark.
