{Riley}

I woke up early in the morning annoyed because my wolf wouldn't stop pacing frantically in the back of my mind.

Would you knock it off! It's too early in the morning for this crap. I snapped.

Sorry! I just have a feeling that we'll be meeting our mate soon! Very soon! Lauren said.

I rolled my eyes. I'm twenty-three and still have yet to find my mate. I've often wondered if it might be because I'm an Omega? I often get picked on for being one and I often get told that I'll never have a mate because I'm an Omega. To add to the bullying I'm a lesbain. About half the girls in the pack avoid me like the plague because of that. Assholes.

I do have a couple of good friends Liza and Sami. I'm actually closer to Liza and I have a tiny little feeling that she might be gay as well. She did tell me one time that she wouldn't mind being my chosen mate if I don't find my true mate soon. So if that's not dropping a hint I don't know what else is.

I didn't have long to think about what Lauren said before we heard Beta Joshua shout, "Alright you Omegas! Get your asses up and ready to go by 8am sharp! We have a very important visitor coming today and everything needs to be in tip top shape!"

That order earned a couple of groans from my fellow bunkmates. Omegas don't live at the pack house. They live in cabins that are stationed right behind the pack house. One would think we were in the military with the way things were set up. The bunks in the cabin's were placed next to each other.

"I wonder who the important guest is going to be?" Liza said with excitement.

"I overheard one of the pack members talking about it yesterday and they said something about the guest being Royalty from the Demon Kingdom," Sami said.

"What! No way! The King of Hell is coming?" Liza exclaimed.

Sami shook her head. "I don't know if it's the King of Hell. For all we know it might be Alastor."

The very mention of Alastor's name caused me to shudder. I've heard horror stories about him. He believes that torture is an art and he oversees the humans that have died on Earth and get sent to Hell for punishment.

Werewolves are considered as part of the afterlife as well even though we tend to roam about on Earth. But we can go back and forth from places like Hell with no problems. However werewolves and other supernatural beings aren't allowed to enter Heaven unless the ruler, who is a guy named L, allows us to. That rarely ever happens.

We did as were told and met up at the packhouse to begin our work for the day.

"Riley!" I heard someone call out. I turned around and saw it was the head maid Ms Shaw calling out to me.

I gulped. "Yes Ms Shaw?"

"In my office now," She commanded.

"Wow, what did you do this time?" Liza asked.

I shook my head. "I have no idea."

Liza nodded and I went straight to Ms Shaw's office because I didn't want to get in trouble by making her wait. I knocked on the door. "Come in!"

"Am I in trouble?" I blurted out as soon as I walked into the office.

Ms Shaw chuckled and shook her head. "No you're not. I know that you still haven't found your mate yet and I wanted to give a chance to try and find her or him today."

I paused. "Huh?"

She continued, "Not to mention you're actually one of my best workers and it's about time I recognized that. That being today's important guests are from the Royal Family in Hell. They are King Satan's daughter Princess Victoria and Prince Alastor's son Prince Walter. They're bringing fellow humans and other low ranking demons with them. I want you to be one of the ones serving them. You'll mostly serve Princess Victoria and Prince Walter. I think and it's just a hunch that your mate might be someone from their group or maybe even Princess Victoria or Prince Walter themselves?"

"But, from what I know of Princess Victoria and Prince Walter are mates!" I gasped.

"True, but they have more than one mate," Ms Shaw explained. "I'm sure if they discover that you're their mate they won't have any issue adding you into the fold."

"What makes you so sure that Princess Victoria or Prince Walter might be my mate?" I asked.

She shrugged. "Like I said, it's just a hunch and I'm hardly ever wrong about these things."

After that conversation she instructed me about where I should go and what I should do.

I was escorted to the main pack house close to Alpha Maxwell's office. The guest rooms were down the hall from there and that's where I was going to work until the guest arrived and then I was going to be serving Princess Victoria, Prince Walter and Alpha Maxwell personally.

Once Princess Victoria and Prince Walter arrived with their group of people I was escorted to the banquet hall where I would be serving them. The moment Princess Victoria walked into the room I was stunned by her beauty. She was a short woman with black hair and black eyes and she looked Asian to me. Her hair was done up in a french braid and she had a small silver crown on her head.

She didn't wear a dress like a normal Princess would but what she wore still made her look beautiful. She wore a business suit made for women. Her suit was black and she wore a red necktie with it and a black shirt underneath. The woman's aura just screamed power. Even Alpha Maxwell bowed his head in respect when she first entered the room.

Suddenly Lauren stirred in the back of my mind and screamed, Mate!

Even I was thrown off by that. My eyes went wide. No fucking way! I can't believe it! Which one?

It's Princess Victoria! I can't believe Ms Shaw was right! Lauren squealed in excitement.

I just stood there staring at Princess Victoria in shock and Princess Victoria stared back at me with the same reaction. She looked at Alpha Maxwell. "Who is that beautiful maid over there?"

Alpha Maxwell looked at me and frowned. "Her? Why her? She's an Omega. Her name is Riley."

"Ah yes, you know I might just go to the High Council to get the way Omega's are treated as slaves because of their rank within the pack changed. From what I know of they're not sent to school like all the other children because they're Omega's? And they don't get the same rights as other pack members because they're Omega's? Is that correct?" Princess Victoria asked.

Alpha Maxwell sighed and nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"Honestly, I think Omega's are just as much a part of the pack as other pack members are. Making them work as maids because of their rank is no different than slavery, am I right?" Princess Victoria asked.

"Yes that's true but we have a certain hierarchy here that needs to be followed. Everyone has their place in this pack and I think you should respect that because you're from a different culture," Alpha Maxwell snapped. "Don't you have servants?"

Princess Victoria shook her head. "That's different. They're not servants because of their rank. Most of the time they're servants because of how they lived and got sent to Hell before they died. Or they're servants willingly. And even though they're servants they get most of the same things that are awarded to regular subjects in Hell. Their children get sent to school like everyone else's children do. The fact that your Omega's don't have proper education in general irks me."

"But-" Alpha Maxwell started.

Princess Victoria just straight up ignored him and said to me, "Riley? Would you mind serving Walter and I our food?"

I nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."

After Princess Victoria and Prince Walter were finished eating and getting ready to leave, Princess Victoria pulled me off to the side. "Please come to my room once you're done cleaning. We have much to talk about."

I nodded and turned around and left.

{Victoria}

When I left the banquet hall after eating Alpha Maxwell asked me to see him in his office. I have no doubt that this discussion was going to be about how I spoke to him at the dinner table.

I didn't give a damn about hurting his feelings at all. I can't believe it's only been a week after my heat and now I have another mate. Walter's my main mate and I plan on marking him along with Louis and Ben when the time comes to do that. I was told that I can mark others and marry them but I just have to make sure to mark and marry Walter first.

The funny thing is Walter went into his heat at the tailend of mine. I did the same thing Walter did for me. I made sure he was taken care of and barely left his side because he needed me. I will do the same thing for my new mate Riley.

The reason why I'm here visiting this pack is because all supernatural beings, werewolves, witches, vampires and elves etc are considered a part of Hell. Satan rules over them as well and the High Council knows about it. Satan informed me that a couple of mafia's are planning on attacking some of my subjects and that some of my subjects were being treated unfairly because of their position in their group.

Satan told me that it would be a good idea to visit different groups of supernatural beings to make sure everyone was okay and that they knew who I was. Hopefully that would help gain more allies. From what I was told werewolves would probably be the hardest to get along with because of the hierarchy within their packs. Satan wasn't kidding about that.

Apparently, it's natural for an Alpha to be the guy in charge and oftentimes they wind up ruling their packs like tyrants and that causes their pack members to become wary.

True, I rule over the Royals with an iron fist but that's because I have to. However, as I'm starting there are other ways to keep someone in check than threatening them. People that aren't in my inner circle are respectful of me but have no issue approaching me to voice complaints and I consider if it's an issue or someone just wants to find an excuse to whine about something. Most of the time it's just someone wanting something to whine about and that irks me.

As soon as I entered the room Alpha Maxwell motioned for me to have a seat across from him.

He narrowed his eyes. "You know I can't let your disrespectful behavior slide today."

"Why? Because I pointed out the truth? That must've really hurt your feelings. You poor thing," I said with mock sympathy.

"Watch your tone when you're talking to an Alpha!" Alpha Maxwell snarled. "This is my home and you dare come into my home and disrespect me!"

I cocked my head to the side and gave him an evil smile. My smile turned into a grin when I saw him shudder. I rose from my seat and towered over him. While looking him dead in the eye I sneered, "And you think that you can punish the Princess of Hell? I'd like to see you try! You aren't my Alpha nor my ruler! If anything, I rule over you. True, this is your home but you know as well as I do that you don't respect all of your pack members. You think you're on a pedestal right now but sooner or later you will be knocked down a few pegs."

I saw him shudder again and I don't know why I decided to look but I did and I rolled my eyes when I saw that he had a bulge in his pants. "Get your brian out of the gutter Alpha Maxwell."

"You know you would make the perfect Luna for the pack right?" Alpha Maxwell said, batting his eyelashes at me. "I'm clearly the better choice over Riley."

Alpha Maxwell stood up and grabbed my wrist and since I didn't feel the mate bond with him like I did with Riley I was relieved that he wasn't one of my mates. The guy's too arrogant and he's clearly one of those Alpha's who think they're entitled to things just because they're an Alpha.

Alpha Maxwell frowned. "It's a shame that you're not my mate and I already met mine."

I looked at him with disgust. "And why haven't you accepted her as your Luna?"

"It's because she's an Omega. I don't need a weak wolf as my mate!" He growled.

"And that is where you're wrong," I said. "From what I know of, your Goddess is the one who makes the matches for werewolves right?"

He nodded.

"So she must've had a good reason to pair an Omega with you. There must be more to that Omega that meets the eye," I said.

He paused and looked thoughtful. "Never thought of it that way before. But it might be too late considering I rejected her and she's a rogue now."

I narrowed my eyes. "You made her a rogue? Are you stupid?"

He hung his head and couldn't look me in the eyes. To me that body language alone was an admission of guilt.

"Wow. You're too arrogant for your good! As of today, I'm ordering you to go find your mate and beg for her forgiveness and to give you a chance. If she doesn't accept you then you'll just have to deal with it and find someone else to take her place. If she does accept you, you welcome her back into the pack with open arms. Do you understand me?" I said.

He gulped and nodded. "Yes, Your Highness, I understand you crystal clear!"

"Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a new mate to get to know. Have a good evening Alpha Maxwell," I said. I didn't say another word when I turned around and left the room.

When I got to my room I saw Walter sitting on the couch talking to Riley.

I smiled. "Hey there Riley. I bet you're excited that you found your mate."

Riley came up to me and hugged me with a tight bear hug. "I'm so glad I finally found you! To think that my mate was just another species!"

I saw Walter laughing and I rolled my eyes as I hugged her back.

"I love the way you smell. I know this sounds creepy but every werewolf can smell their mates and their mates have a certain smell to them. Because of that it's easy for a werewolf to track down their mate if needed," Riley said.

"I see. That's interesting, the thing about being a demon is some demon's don't have a good sense of smell. What do I smell like?" I said.

"Cinnamon rolls!" Riley responded.

At that comment Walter burst into laughter. I glared at him. "That's not funny Walter."

"Actually now that you think it kind of is. But Cinnamon rolls are my favorite food. I usually have it as a treat for special occasions," Riley said. "How funny is it that my mate smells like my favorite food."

I didn't say anything as I took her into my arms and kissed her. What made us break the kiss was Walter clearing his throat, "Okay I'm going to sleep in the other room with Ben. You two surely need some alone time with each other. Have fun."

Once Walter left I looked at Riley. "So why don't we get to know each other a little bit? Because I'll be leaving with my group and you'll be coming with me."

She paused. "Wow, I'll be leaving? So soon?"

I nodded. "Yup. You'll have to say goodbye to your friends and family and I'll make it so that you're welcomed to come back and visit anytime."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she smiled. "Thank you so much Your-"

I knew she was going to formally greet me again so I pulled her into my arms and kissed her. It started out slow, but then I deepened it as she allowed my tongue access into her mouth. It felt like heaven to kiss another woman again. True, I've kissed other women and had sex with other women before but it felt nothing like this. It feels just as good as when I kiss Walter. I'm glad the werewolf mate that I have is a female and not that arrogant Alpha.

I bet if Alpha Maxwell was my mate and not Riley it would've just fueled his ego so much that I would be looking for a way to reject him.

When I pulled back Riley was breathless. I smiled. "I'm not going to mark you just yet but I will in the future after I've marked Walter first. Okay? So can you do me a favor during sex try to keep your wolf from marking me? Oh and don't call me Your Highness. It's Victoria to you and no nicknames please."

Riley smiled. "So I don't get to mark you yet? When do you plan on marking Walter?"

I sighed, "Hopefully sometime by the end of this year if things go well."

Riley gave me a puzzled look. "Why wouldn't they go well?"

I took Riley's hand and led her over to the couch and had her sit down next to me. "I'm going to tell you my background and this is going to take a while."

"Oh?" Riley said.

I nodded and started telling her my story.
