ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD WHAT ARE WE NOT SAYING BABY?
STORM I find later on in the day leaning against his car. “I have been looking for you,” I say when I get to him, as I readjust my books on my arms. “you have?” he asks looking at the sky. He is so hot, with his sunglasses, and messy hair like he has been running his fingers through it a lot, and his shirt is a little unbuttoned I can see some of the soft trails of hair that I know lead to his … “what about?” he asks me breaking my reverie. I shake my head and look at him, knowing this is going to be a hard one. “We have been invited to a party tonight,” I say as I put the books on the hood of his car. “Can't, I have a lot of catching up to do, been neglecting my part as an alpha.” Well, I never said this was going to be easy, but maybe Landon was too easy on me, and the whole no one can say no to me part. “This will be a pack thing as well, you will be out, interacting with your pack members,” I shrug as I lean on the car. “yeah, my pack members who are drunk and having sex
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY
KYLE I close my eyes, leaning into her, inhaling her scent into my lungs. I have never wanted anything else, craved anything or anyone as I crave her. I have never loved anyone or a thing like I love her. It's crushing me and molding me just like I breathe in and out. my whole universe starts and ends with her. “I am angry at myself,” I admit. Her hand glides over mine that’s holding her waist and I tilt my head to the side, eyes still closed, jaw clenched. “I have never loved and lost but I felt that with you. I can never survive if I ever lost you again baby, my Stormie.” She turns to face me and I sigh when I look into her eyes. “you are never going to lose me again, I want you to believe that. we have overcome the worst parts of our whole lives, and we are never going to be apart ever again,” she whispers as she cups my cheeks, fingers running through my hair. I could get lost in her. her words, her touch, sets my whole body alive. “do you forgive me?” my heart is beating so
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD TRY TO TRUST IN MY LOVE AGAIN
COLEThe whole room is painted red. I let go of the organ in my hand and it falls on the floor with a wet thump.“that went well as it could have gone,” I say as I spit.“We just killed the very people we were coming here to make good with,” Dean speaks beside me as he too looks at the mess we have done.“They probably weren't expecting this like we didn’t, but once you started, it was done for.”“I didn’t like their tone,” he says as he starts to walk around the board room. “at least now we can start a new regime. After all, we are the new alphas in town, therefore, we need a new set of betas,” he extends his arms in the air and then claps.I look at him, with raised eyebrows. “you know, I could have never pegged you to enjoy a sweet old kill room like this one before. That is usually Kyle's ammo.”“I am in good spirits,” he flashes me a cocky grin and I only shake my head, smiling.“she is making us better men,” I say as I pick up my cell which found its way to the floor.“our mean
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD YOUR PEOPLE ARE OUR PEOPLE
STORM I still remember how nervous I was when I attended my first house party. The guys I was going to see in there are the ones by my side right now as we get in without even getting stopped.I can't help but smile as we get to walk in like we own the place.. the crowd parts way for us and I can swear they hush.Like a moth to a Flame by the Weeknd is blasting through the speakers. I love that song.“you came!”A girl squeals and I turn around to look where it is and I see it's Lana, the host.“of course, I can't miss a party now, can I?” I smile widely as she pulls me in for a hug and then links her arm to mine and starts to pull me away from the boys.“she stays with us,” Kyle stops her. they are not going to ruin my night. I don’t care that they might be against the idea of me going somewhere with Lana, but dammit it’s a great party and I want to mingle.“I will be fine, I promise,” I whisper to him as I touch his bicep but he doesn’t say a word.“We should meet your companions
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?
STORM The sexual tension between Landon and me is intense. Ever since he came into my room as I was getting dressed for this party, catching me with nothing but knickers, and helping me get dressed, it's been … charged. I am listening to Cole talk to me bout the new developments they did today and how they had to kill the old betas who were loyal to the council but I drift off when I catch Landon looking at me from across the room. “Are you with me?” “yes, I am with you,” I respond distractedly. “no, you are looking at Landon like you want to fuck him in the middle of this room,” he says and I snap my head to Cole. “What?” I squirm, my cheeks turning red. “I have noticed how you two have been stealing glances when you think the other isn’t looking,” he smiles wickedly. “It's nothing,” I look away blushing. “yeah,” he chuckles as he drinks and I lay my face on his chest. I love doing this, especially when he warps his warm around me, I feel protected and hidden. Cole leaves t
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD OUR QUEEN
STORMA noise wakes me up.I detangle from the limbs and arms holding me as I groggily stumble out of bed. The boys groan when I slip away but they don’t wake up.I don’t know what it is, but I go downstairs as the chatter grows louder and louder. It is coming from outside.It's 7 am on a Saturday, which means we all slept in after the party yesterday.I open the door to be met with a crowd of unfamiliar faces, all in my driveway.What the fuck?When they hear me, they all turn to look at me and they … smile. And then start to clap and cheer on.I have never been confused as I am now ever in my life. I step outside, confused, as I look at all of them. They part a path for me as I walk slowly in the crowd and they cheer on clapping and seeming happy. I can't help but smile as well even though I barely know what's going on.And then a figure emerges from the crowd.Magdalene.“I told them not to come to you but they wanted to see the queen, who saved them,” she pulls me in for a hug and
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD I THOUGHT I FOUND THE ROAD TO SOMEWHERE
STORM “hey Dad, I can't believe this is all happening. I am doing things and meeting people I never thought I could in a million years could. I met some of our pack members who have been hiding and some are even telling me they knew you.” I can feel tears rolling down my cheeks but I swipe them away. “it's beautiful and scary at the same time. I have always dreamt of this but now it is here, I don’t know if I can do it. I am afraid I will ruin it all as I have done in the past, I destroy beautiful things. “I have the boys with me by my side, and they all love me and tell me they are with me every step f the way.” I sniff as my hand automatically goes to my belly. I close my eyes as I feel tears flood again. “I have a secret I have not told them because I don’t know if it is true. I am so scared and afraid that they will leave me when I tell them this. I don't know if I can do this by myself and if I even want to do this at all.” My body rocks as I sob silently on the hard ground
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD CAN'T LET YOU IN
STORM Pack meetings, talking, and getting to know my people have been the highlights of my days I feel like a different person. Here I am, talking about finding ways to bring some of the members to Ridgewood and put their roots here as we restore the homes that were destroyed. I feel grown and most of all, I feel responsible. Magdaline, as she insists I call her, has been with me all this time. The boys have bought a home that is so grand I thought I was dreaming when they first took me there. “It's all yours, and if you will have us, we would love to live with you,” Cole had told e as I stood in front of the gates. The mansion is secluded, tall trees hide most of it from the outside eye and the black gates opened as I took step in. Some vines were up tangling with the trees some extended close to the balconies. Glass walls and high walls, it is my dream house. When I got to see the whole of it, I realized just how huge the place is. The back extends to a man-made forest that l

ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD THE ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD
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.
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD YOU AND I, TILL THE DAY WE DIE
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
ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD I WON'T MISS YOU
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.

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

ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD DO RIGHT BY US
STORM“so you have been feeling this? all of you?” I ask them and their grim faces tell me everything.“Baby, you shut us down every step we take to help you,” Kyle approaches me and I take a step back.“I don’t want your help,” I tell him and he looks like I have slapped him.I don’t mean to o this, but I don’t think I can stop.“you have been drowning and we have been here asking you how to help you and you have said no. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know how to save you,” Landon speaks to me gently.“I don’t want to be saved, no one can save me,” I say. I can feel tears scrolling down my face.“why are you doing this?” Dean asks, his voice hurt.I exhale, steeling myself. “because none of you understand.”“Help us then understand you, we love you so much, too much to let you be this way,” Kyle approaches me once again and I let him come close to me. “let us in, please.”I want to give in so much, but it's going to be the same.

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.
