Ridge stepped closer. He picked up a black leather jacket that had been draped over a chair. He held it up so everyone could see. On the back was a patch. Black leather with white lettering. "Property of Ridge" on top. "Devil's Reach MC" on the bottom. He looked at me. "This is yours now. You wear this and everyone knows you're mine. You're protected. You're family." He held the jacket open for me. I turned around and slid my arms into the sleeves. The leather was heavy on my shoulders. Solid. Ridge adjusted it. Made sure it sat right. Then he turned me around to face the room again. The room erupted in cheers. Brothers clapped. Old ladies stood up and hugged each other. Harlow ran over and threw her arms around me. "You did it!" Cassidy and Maya came over too. They were both smiling
