All Chapters of ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

KYLEIs the timing bad? Absolutely.They couldn’t choose the wrong time to start this shit on us. I mean we had already done all the work, set all the traps and little nooks to kickstart the plan that will cut all the ties to the council. But, then they pull a rug under our feet and now we are stumbling.The boys and I are all on edge. It's there, it's so evident and there is nothing we can do about it, other than go through the motions. I feel murderous tenfold my normal and that’s laying it lightly.Then the fucking letters appear at our doorstep. The mailman was late again, who the fuck checks their mail in the 21t century anymore?This fucker. Thinking they can play us. We didn’t want to show it, but this adds to the clusterfuck we are in, it just makes me want to break someone’s neck.Are we being bad and untrue if we don’t show little stormy how we truly feel? Yes. I mean, we just got her, and she is still feeling the brunt of our weakness if I can call it that. she doesn't need

DEANThe meeting goes as I expected it would go.Chaotic.The pack leaders, those few selected from the neighboring packs tried us as if they have gotten the wind of us being weak. Landon killed one of them and his beta became the new leader.To say that it was tense and disruptive is an understatement. He made the new alpha go home with the head of the former now dead splash home, showing that those who try to go against us will meet the same fate.No one tried to talk against us after.We have always ruled with iron fists. We will one day be running things here, and having a weak reputation even for a second is not negotiable.All the plans were now in motion. We were doing what was required of us by the council. No one was happy about it, but it brought little peace to know that some … most of the packs will bend the knee.“they said they would deal with the rogue killer,” I start to say as soon as we shift to human form the minute we know we are on our property. We traveled as wol

STORMIt doesn't take long before I see them. The burning houses and the obvious wolves fighting, people fighting, and screams. The cries.My wolf roars to life, wanting to go help them out but I calm her down. I need her with me, sharp and focused. We won't do much if we get lost in the trauma that is rearing its ugly head.I have to keep my breaths leveled and bite down my inner cheek to feel the pain. It helps me be present and not get lost in my head.I draw my bow, setting an arrow as I run, using trees and houses to hide me as I start knocking the obvious attackers down. I find them one by one, as I shoot and shoot. They all look confused at first before they fall, and the ones being attacked finish the job.I still can't see the boys. I don't want to run into them. I don't know how I could explain this.The pack lived in a community, and even with how they housed themselves, it's so clear they were one big family. All this time, I haven’t seen one child or woman. I need to prot

COLEI feel him slipping away from us helplessly.I let out a choked gasp, feeling the pain of tonight heavy, and I wonder how it had all gone wrong.Landon lets out a strangled wail, and his wolf starts to take form. His bones break, as they twist and reshape. He is in pain with the contortion of his face, with the sounds of pain he let out, but we don’t let go. We hold him as he goes through it, we are here for him even if it hurts us to see him lose him.When his spine finally snaps and takes the final shift, his wolf is out. it lets us cage it for a few seconds before it pushes me out of the way and runs out of sight, into the woods.“Landon!” Kyle shouts as we watch him go.Landon is gone.“we will find him, he will be back to us,” Dean chokes out, and my head bows.Will he? Or will he choose the wildness over this? he has only had pain since we were kids and tonight was the final breaking point.Defeated, I stand up, looking around. This is all my fault. All this blood is on my

STORMOut of all the places I thought he would have taken us, I never thought it would be the beach.I didn’t even realize that there was a beach nearby let alone that he would prefer hibernating by its coastline.It's so beautiful, the waves crashing and the sound of them calling to me. I have never been to the beach before. It's all so magnetizing to me, I jump, my wolf startled when the waves reach my paws. Landon is right there to urge me to be close to him and then lick my neck.The beach is empty and I have a feeling it's never been visited nor known because it's surrounded by miles and miles of forest.He seems to know where he is going because he finds a cave so easily I wonder if he comes here often. He stops at the edge of the cave and demands that I don't follow him to let him see if it's safe before I get in.My wolf doesn’t receive this well, so offended that she snarls at him and follows him. he doesn’t approve of course, snarling back, demanding I submit to his request.
