21 Evening Alone

Crystal 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

22 Sleeping Wolf

Crystal River Pack“You have questions.” The priestess said. Hadrian turned and saw her sitting on a bench swing placed in the garden. She wore a simple green dress with one foot tucked under her and the other gently pushing her. All around her, flowers bobbed and swayed in a breeze he did not feel. “I do,” he admitted quietly. Looking around, he tried to remember how he got there. The last thing that he remembered was having pizza and watching a cheesy movie. They fell asleep and when he woke up, he took them to bed.“It should be dark,” Hadrian muttered. As soon as he said this, the clouds in the clear blue sky disappeared. The sky darkened and filled with twinkling stars. For a moment he thought about saying it should be bright, just to see what happened.Before he could, the priestess began to speak and drew his attention back to her.“She has a wolf. One that will only emerge after she is accepted by her mate,” Imogen said, standing up and walking barefoot across lush green g

23 Saturday Morning

Crystal River PackSaturday morning training started years ago with only warriors. It slowly opened to all pack members. Now it also encompasses the human members of the pack. “Hadrian.” A man approached them. Hadrian smiled and offered his hand. “Gunny, this is Electra.”Electra bowed her head to him.“I’m not Were,” Gunny said bluntly. “I’m married to a were. You don’t treat me any differently than anyone else. Don’t ever call me sir, I work for a living.”“What should I call you?” Electra asked quietly. “First, head up. The world is up here,” Gunny said and waited for her to look up. “Much better. My name is Gunny.”Hadrian kissed her temple. “I’m going to go check in. Gunny will train you today.”She looked at him with fear. “Please…”“You’ll be fine,” Hadrian assured her with a gentle caress to her cheek. He gave her a light kiss and then left her with Gunny. “Mates can’t train together,” Gunny said. “I don’t have a wolf, so I can’t have a mate.” she said quietly. “I don’t

24 First Mate

Crystal River PackThe following morning, Electra was fixing breakfast when Hadrian walked into the kitchen. He had to be at work in a few hours and wanted a little bit of time alone with her. Sliding his arms around her waist, he kissed her neck. Her bruises were already fading and that made him wonder about that. Those with wolves would heal very quickly, the higher the wolf the quicker the recovery. Gashes from the fangs and claws of the alpha wolf had already closed and were beginning to fade.“Did you mean it? What you said?” she asked as she mixed the muffin batter. “That I am your mate?”“Yes,” he said, softly nuzzling her neck.“We need… you should…” Electra turned off the stand mixer and braced herself against the counter. She took a deep breath and let out before continuing. “I have no wolf. My first mate rejected me because of it. I can’t have pups.”He turned her to face him and made her look up at him. “Who was the idiot that rejected you?”“The Alpha’s son, A.J.”“The o

25 Freedom

Crystal River PackThere was a change in Electra once she was released from her bond. She was still sweet and kind. The girls were still her world. Her complete self did not change. And yet, it did.She was no longer submissive. Her hair became shorter, and she became more comfortable wearing makeup. She wasn’t quite ready for short shorts or skirts, but she did wear jeans more. Celeste took her to the tattoo shop, and they covered her brands. On her left arm among swirls and stars was the William Shakespeare quote of “This above all, to thine own self be true.” And on the right was the moon goddess with a hellhound. Once her marks were covered, she became much more confident. By the time they were finishing up the plans for Marie’s birthday party, she was wearing T-shirts. Along with her newfound confidence and assertion, came a strength she did not know she had. Twice a week, the girls went to hang out with Amberley while Electra and Hadrian went to the gym. Saturday mornings she

26 Party at the Firehouse

Crystal River PackThere were way more kids than expected. And their parents. And grandparents. And aunts and uncles.And their neighbors' second cousin’s college roommates’ best friend from elementary school second grade teacher’s pet goldfish former owner's ex-husbands current girlfriend. In other words, the whole pack, and a few people from the human town, were there.“We should have charged admission,” Aiden smirked as he slapped his son on the back.“Could have gotten a new rig,” Captain McMurray agreed. “It’s a hell of a fundraising idea,” Aiden agreed. “How many people do you think are here to see how the girls act towards Electra?” Hadrian asked quietly. “All of them,” the other two men replied in unison. Hadrian groaned. “Daddy!” Emily ran up to him holding a doll, she leapt into his arms. “Look what aunt Jill brought me!”“You don’t have an Aunt Jill,” Aiden told his granddaughter. “Don’t break his heart,” a large redhead said walking up carrying an infant. “Hadrian

27 Mitzi's Deception

Crystal River PackAs the birthday party was winding down, the oracle approached Hadrian. Her long platinum blonde hair was pulled back in a loose braid. Just like so many others, she wore shorts and a casual T-shirt. She gently touched his brow and then trailed her fingers down to his chest.“You have questions that I cannot answer,” she whispered to him. “There is a change happening. Blaze knows what needs to happen. She is yours. You are hers. That is all you need to know. Answer her questions honestly. Your own answers will come soon enough.”For just a moment, he felt an intense heat in his chest and then it was gone. So was the oracle. He had experienced the same feeling before. But he could not remember when or where. The only thing he could remember was the same feeling. He growled a warning to several single men throughout the day. They backed away but kept watching the intriguing woman. She had an unusual beauty. And she was going into heat. The scent of virgin was not o

28 Marking

Crystal River PackIt was not the first time that they had slept together. Not even the first time that they had gone to bed together. It was, however, the first time that Hadrian would do more than just hold Electra.He could feel her nervousness as they approached the master bedroom upstairs. Leading her to the bed, he turned the bedside lamp on. Grateful that they had both already ditched their shoes, he began to tug her t-shirt out of her jeans. “If I need to slow down at any point, tell me.” He told her as his fingers brushed against her abdomen. “I’m not sure that I can stop until you’re marked, if you have any doubts…”She pulled his face down to her and kissed him. Her hands were still on his cheeks as he pulled back a little. “I have no doubts about you,” she whispered. “Just me.”“No doubts about you, either,” Hadrian told her as he gathered the red cotton and lifted it over her head. She raised her arms, and he easily removed the shirt, dropping it to the floor. Having wa

29 Marked

Crystal River PackIn the early light of dawn, Hadrian turned off his alarm and pulled Electra closer to him as he slipped back to sleep. Two hours later, he rolled over and picked up his ringing phone.“Yeah,” he said softly after clicking the green circle. “Just wondering if you were going to join us today,” Captain McMurray asked. “Shit,” he shifted the phone and focused on the little numbers up in the corner before swearing a few more times. “I’m on my way,” he ended the call and kissed Electra on the cheek. “I’m late. Go back to sleep “After he got out of bed, she snuggled down under the comforter and when he stepped out of the closet in his uniform he could hear her soft snores. Without turning on the bathroom light, he grabbed his shaving kit and headed for work.Mom. Hadrian called through the mind link.Shouldn’t you be at work.I overslept.Really?He rolled his eyes at her tone. Yes. I need you to check on Electra. She was still in bed when I left.Is she okay?I marked

30 Baby

Crystal River PackThe dark bunk room was filled with a loud ringing noise, and everyone wondered whose phone was ringing. And who would be sacrificed to the moon goddess. Or the god of quiet nights on shift. With the vibrations shaking his bunk, Hadrian knew that he was the guilty party.Since he was the only one not grumbling, out loud or through the pack mind link, the rest of the crew also knew that he was the one receiving a middle of the night phone call.The real question was: Who the hell was calling him at two seventeen in the morning? He found his phone and tried to focus on the name on the screen. Of course, his brother would call him at two seventeen in the morning. As if he was unable to reach his older brother through the family or pack links.He could hear the rest of the crew grumbling at the disturbance and assumed the pillow that hit him was from Parker. They had recently gotten back to bed after a false alarm. He had just got back to sleep when his phone started rin
