Kairal.Kgosh, I could just weep. storm ... is breaking. her will, her spirit, she is slowly breaking. She is slowly coming to terms that this monster is too big, he will never die and she might as well die in here. she is starting to lose all hope. when she says no one is going to save her, that might mean that she has completely lost hope in the boys, or ... it could be she doesn't want anything to do with them. after all, she did start by saying family is power and the boy's family has done nothing but shred her to the very last. will storm be able to truly get back her spirit, or will she succumb to the weakness that encompasses her reality? even with a new gift, she doesn't acknowledge it. it links to what happened to her recently; pain. what to do?

COLE My father is speaking but I don’t seem to be registering what he is saying. All I can see and hear is: she betrayed us. She betrayed me. So when he leaves, leaving us to our thoughts, I don’t even move an inch. I let them down. My brothers. I am the one who was supposed to know she was going to be a danger to us, I should have seen it before I let her into our lives. I should have seen it. but deep down, I realize …. I have unwavering loyalty towards her. I realize I want to know why she would do that. why she would decide to hurt us and ruin us like that? And why despite all these unfortunate events that she has done and has happened between us, I feel that I can never go against her, I can never truly hate her. My question now remains, why did she do all of this? “Who knew that by seeking and chasing a mystery we would be opening a can full of worms?” I murmur to myself and Kyle sighs next to me. “she killed our fathers and she killed my mate, then somehow found a way to

STORM “This collar should be made stronger,” Xaver tugs on the collar around my neck and it bites my skin, the cold metal feeling like a noose. It's metallic and is supposed to make me not use the newly acquired power as he calls it. it has seared my skin the little I have tried to use it, and I can still feel the burns even after a doctor cleaned me up, that is after injecting me with something that has rendered me somewhat paralyzed. I can't even will myself to lift my finger, let alone move. I am tied back on the table and Xaver is walking beside the table, inspecting the cuffs to make sure I do try another stunt. I have given up on it. I have come to realize there is no way out of here for me except in a body bag so I have lost hope on it. I just want to mourn for my mother and maybe persevere with what he talking about using me for. Death will be kinder to me than life has been. “I was held up with my sons earlier, I had to make them catch up on who you truly are and you kno

DEAN In a normal world, to hear that, someone you loved and cherished killed your parent would be one of the most shocking things ever. But I am not in a perfect world. I am in Ridgewood, and my world, that is indeed still shocking and it makes you want to go back and retaliate. Family is power, nothing else matters other than family. Your pack. She is my pack. She is my family. And just like any other family, ours has a dysfunction. Other families have their type of dysfunction, ours is we kill each other's family and revenge against each other until there is nothing left but wounds, ugly scars, and emotional wrecks. I know I have killed a girl’s or a boy's father, mother, or siblings. I know I have left a kid orphaned. I have blood on my hands, I have been maimed and tortured. I have also enjoyed it all while doing all of these things. A part of me wants to scream at the top of my lungs and ask- no demand- why she would do this to us. But, in all reality, we hit first. Yes, I

KYLEbeing in this place feels more painful.I remember when I walked in here and threatened her. I told her I would kill her if she dared betray us. And she did betray us.

I want to strangle her and make sure she has locked up in my room altogether and make her tell me everything.Another part of me wants to hold her and protect her in my arms and be with her.I have experienced love with her, something I have never had before in my whole life.

ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD SALVATION IS FOR THE DAMNED
STORM “your blood is going to help me achieve my deepest desire,” Xaver waves his arm around and if he had a full face I would assume a proud smile one of victory would be forming on his lips about now. “you see when I realized that you could activate the stones, I knew you were the perfect thing that could ever have happened to me. your blood, and the stones on the powerful red moon, will help me cast the spell and activate a new era of the wolves. “I will be king, and everyone will bow down to me. I will be the most powerful werewolf and perhaps the most powerful man to exist.” “I would be clapping for you right now if my hands weren’t tied.” He doesn’t acknowledge my sarcasm. “you, on the other hand, will be dead. A bag of blood once completed its purpose, is to be discarded. I suppose your little miserable life will have accounted for something revolutionary as that night.” “you mean I won't be around to witness this new era?” I really should stop talking. “I will need a lo

STORMI can feel it, the tattoo on my back. It's open for all of them to see and study it like it's some sort of a mystery.When one of them touches it, I snarl and jerk and they don’t even flinch.Xaver left me here with his minions who are doctors to poke and prod me for any more secrets I might have in my body. My hands are tied above me changed in place, as well as my legs. I am helpless and they see it, they have made sure of it that’s why my reaction to them touching me doesn’t even raise an eyebrow.It only makes me angry but mostly I am tired. I am here, waiting to be butchered all in the name of some red blood moon. I want to get out of here, but I don’t know how.Xaver enters the room and he looks a little frustrated, I know this because after spending time with the guy who is telling you how much he is going to enjoy killing you, he shows his true emotions in his half-face oh so well.“leave, all of you!”The doctors all scurry and leave the two of us, I, still hung like a

STORMThey are carving my back open.I have been screaming in pain until I can't anymore. I have blacked out and drifted out of consciousness, seeking refuge in nothingness only to be met with more pain when I wake up again.“Please… stop, it's enough,” I am begging my own throat sounding foreign. I cough up blood and I can feel my back carving in itself as they continue to hack away at the tattoo.I have never known pain and cruelty like I do right now.“I don't enjoy doing this, child. But it's what I must do. They are my family, and you are a curse, I can't have a curse in m family.”“Please, stop. Please I am begging you.”“shut her up, I was more comfortable when she was just screaming,” Xaver talks and I blink, not seeing anything. My head is hung, my legs have given out, and my tied hands on the ceiling are the ones keeping me up.And then, an earthquake shakes the whole room, rattling me and I grit my teeth when my body is moved by the moment.“what's going on?” xaver asks an

No one can do this to themselves. I just know that she is being held somewhere and someone is doing all these atrocities to her.“find her, do what you have to do,” I tell him and he claps on my shoulder, squeezing before running off to do what we came here to do.It feels like I am burning, but I force myself to stand up. she is going through all of this alone.

STORM Landon and I have been on the road for a week now and right now, we are on our way back home. It's so early, and I am quiet in my seat as I look outside the window as he drives. My whole life changed when I met them, and I cannot take it back, every single of them. I don’t regret any of it. I have decided to go home knowing that there is always going to be darkness in me, it's there to stay, and the best part of it is, I have found boys who want to join in on my darkness. They have shared theirs and invited me into theirs. It's my time to let them in and invite them on in mine. For great love, you must go through the pain. To have all that you desire, you must sacrifice. Pain and love go hand in hand, for you cannot love if you don’t feel the pain of it, it goes together. You cannot know what you have until you have lost it all. And that’s what I realized during my break. I did what I had to do, even went away for a minute from my love to know how true that statement was.

STORM The bar around ends up being a biker's bar, with several bikers packed at the front. I shouldn’t, it's rowdy, and if I am guessing, when they see me alone some will try to hit on me taking me for a fragile little thing that has ended up where she isn’t supposed to. Even before I let that thought to sink in, I am already opening the door, the little bell at the top of the door chiming, and the whole bar goes quiet, all eyes turning towards me. I pause, taking it all in and all the people in. Burly men, tattoos covering their skins heavily, leather jackets and studs on some, a few girls on their laps, and they all look mean and menacing. I proceed to walk towards the tabletop counter where a woman bartender is watching me. everyone is watching me and after I sit down, when they realize I am not going away, they resume their talking. “what will you have?” she asks as she wipes a glass with the towel. “something that will make sure I have a good time tonight,” I reply as I hol
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD FEMME FATALE ERA
STORMDemons - Hayley Kiyoko is blasting off my speakers as I speed past cars on the highway. Singing along as I beat the steering wheel, wind in my hair as I come from a kill that left me freshly rejuvenated.It should worry me a great deal that the only thing that’s making me feel alive again is killing, but that thought only makes me laugh.I mean, who am I to deny who I am? Maybe it was destined for me to finally embrace this dark side of me without painting it to be a burden, like a means to an end to my purpose.I have no purpose now, other than to feel me again and love me.That’s a good purpose, I didn’t think I was all about self-love and all, I think to myself as I look at my blood-caked nails.I need to find a place to sleep in tonight, perhaps eat human food, cook of course, and sleep. Then tomorrow I do the same thing, I have a long list of people to unalive.I find a motel and check in, and I thank the gods for the showerhead, which has a fairly decent water pressure.I

STORMI never thought it could happen, but it is.I am standing by my Impala, looking at Ridgewood one last time before I speed away and I feel like I am leaving my soul and heart behind.This could be one of the things I will ever regret doing. I can't seem to remember why I am doing this because it hurts so much, but it's all for the better.I wipe away the tear sliding down my cheek and get in my car, revving the engine and speeding away.Back on the road again, alone, leaving all that I have ever wanted behind.I open my compartment glove and I find my old burner phone. I flip it open and find the number I am looking for.“hey Stevie, I need a job.”“Long time Cherry, where are you?”I am heading north, can you find me something worth my while?”“anything for you, but aren’t you rusty? Rumour has it-““Are you sending me the coordinates to a good hunt or not? I didn’t take you for a gossip.”“All I am saying is, now you are not as incognito as before, be careful out there.”“I did
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD THE CEREMONY
KYLE It’s a rainy gloomy day. It must be matching with my moods and those around me as we all await our bride to walk up to us. The ceremony is being held outdoors, the planners had thought that the day would be sunny and warm, but the rain has started and hasn’t stopped since an hour ago. I don’t mind, as I know this is not exactly how I wanted us to do this so here we are. “why did she not choose the other location that was offered?” Dean asks me quietly as we stand at the front of the huge tent serving as our shelter. They still managed to pull it off with the lowers, it would look magical was it not for the bitterness and bad taste in my mouth about this day. “doesn't matter, we are not here to party, we are just a means to an end for her to leave us,” I respond to him. “Can we all stop doing this? It's already in motion so let's get this over with,” Landon mutters. None of us have been in good shape or moods since last week when she said that she wanted to leave and the o

It doesn’t matter what they all say or try to tell me, this is my doing. They felt my hesitation, my longing for a different life and they have left me.You know what's stupid, it’s the fact that every time I felt like I was a clown, not being true to the rest of them I would talk to them and confide my true feelings to them.They wouldn’t judge me, they were inside me and they knew what was going on. They had come to be my partners in this ridiculously high life, and now they are gone.To be honest, I feel betrayed. They were here, and now they are gone.
