Chapter 39: Just call this the Mating Tour! ... Seriously?

{Riley}

I couldn't believe my ears when Victoria told me her backstory. Her adoptive mother was nuts! Yet she allows her to live all in the name of revenge. Although I am kind of curious as to what she'll do for revenge. She already has one of her mates, Ben who's posing as Delilah's husband pretending to absolutely head over heels for her. Victoria met her real parents and staged a kidnapping with them and made sure that it was Delilah who would come rescue her. So that's why the media is singing her praises right now.

On other matters that we discussed would be if Victoria slept with her other mates would I feel pain from it? So Victoria and I did an experiment and nothing happened as far as pain goes. As a matter of fact that was one of the hottest things I have experienced! I had never felt so horny in my life just watching them have sex and then afterward I had sex with her.

The next day Victoria gave me some time to pack my things and say goodbye to my friends and family. In this pack I don't have anyone that I call family but my parents are still alive. ever since I came out to them, they pretty much disowned me. The only people that mattered to me enough to give a proper goodbye to were Liza and Sami.

So I went to my cabin and started packing my things but little did I know Liza and Sami were waiting to give me a small farewell party.

When I walked through the door of the cabin I was met with two very loud cheers of "Surprise!"

I chuckled. "You two never cease to amaze me. I love you guys!"

Liza and Sami gave me a group hug. Liza looked like she was trying not to cry.

I frowned. "What's wrong?"

"I know we're not mates. I wanted us to be mates for the longest time but I guess the Moon Goddess had other plans for you. You won't forget about me will you?" Liza sniffed.

"Ah come on Liza! I'd never forget about you!" I said.

She sniffed again. "Okay, I'll stop with the waterworks because my wolf is laughing at me telling me that I'm being ridiculous!"

Sami rolled her eyes. "You can say that again!"

"Hey!" Liza said.

I laughed, "Oh you two! I'm going to miss you guys."

Sami nodded. "I can't believe your mate is the Princess of Hell! I heard she already has more than one mate. Why would the Moon Goddess pair you with someone who has more than one mate already?"

I shrugged. "I have no idea."

"Hey you stupid bitch!" I heard someone say from behind me.

Sami and Liza glared at her. The woman standing behind me was none other than my mother.

I sighed and turned around. As soon as I did, Mom raised her hand and slapped me. The slap was so hard that I was seeing stars.

"Don't go thinking that you're mated to the Princess of Hell, that you're so special that you can't say goodbye to your own mother!" Mom snarled.

I stood up and wiped the blood off my mouth. "If I recall correctly you disowned me for being a lesbian!"

"And rightfully so," Mom said. She grabbed me by shirt and slammed me up against the wall. "It's time I give you one last lesson about how to be a good daughter. You're an embarrassment to the family name!"

She my neck and squeezed and I know Sami and Liza are terrified of her or they would've stepped in to stop her. Which I was surprised when Liza yanked Mom off me and I fell to the ground coughing as Mom backhanded her for getting the way.

"What the fuck is going on here!" I heard someone roar.

Mom and Liza stopped fighting when they saw Victoria standing next to Alpha Maxwell with a very pissed off look on her face.

She marched up to Mom and said, "Who the fuck do you think you are laying a hand on what's mine!"

"She's my daughter and she dared to not say her goodbye to me," Mom said. "It's bad enough she's an embarrassment to the family being a lesbian Your Highness and she needed to be taught a lesson wouldn't you agree?"

Mom smirked probably thinking that Victoria would agree with her but no that seemed to make her even angrier. Victoria looked like she was seeing red as she marched up to Mom and grabbed her by the throat.

"You know what, I had to deal with a woman who claimed to be my mother who acts just like you. Thinking that they have every right to abuse their children and toss them around as if they're just toys. I was beaten nearly half to death by the very people who claimed to be my parents just for being bisexual. Honestly, I don't think Riley needs to be taught a lesson. I think it's her parents who need to be taught a lesson in not forcing their child to be something that they're not," Victoria sneered. "Go fuck yourself! And the next time Riley comes for a visit if I ever hear about you laying your hands on her ever again I'll do a lot more than just choke you."

Victoria let go and Mom fell to the ground coughing. Victoria knelt down to her level. "Do you understand what I just said?"

Mom nodded. "Yes, Your Highness, I understand crystal clear."

"Good. Now leave my sight so that Riley and her friends can finish saying goodbye because we leave tomorrow," Victoria said.

I tried not to laugh as Mom got up and ran out of the cabin so fast you'd think she was on fire.

As soon as Mom left Victoria turned to me and grabbed me looking me over for injuries. She snarled when she saw whatever bruise Mom might've left on my neck from choking me. "Do you want me to go kill her? I can do that for you."

I giggled and shook my head. "No, Your-"

"It's Victoria to you, my little wolf," She said with a smile.

I nodded. "Okay, I don't think you need to kill her. I think she got the message loud and clear. I'm not out for revenge like you are my dear."

She smiled and planted a kiss on my forehead. "Alright then. I'll see you tonight."

I watched as she turned to leave. Alpha Maxwell on the other hand stayed behind. He narrowed his eyes. "This isn't the first time that your mother has done something like this, is it?"

I looked down and sighed, "No, it's not. It would only happen when I'd get sent out on an errand somehow Mom would figure out that I was leaving for something and attack me when I least expected it."

Liza gasped, "So that's how you got those marks on your neck! Why didn't you tell me?"

"She's my Mom. The last thing I want is for her to become a rogue just because of the abuse. As it stands I was hoping to avoid her as I was leaving," I said.

"Okay she won't become a rogue but she'll spend a week in the dungeons," Alpha Maxwell said. "Omega's might be serving as maids but someone abusing them because of their rank, sexuality or otherwise is where I draw the line. And starting tomorrow Omegas are free to go to school and choose their own career paths. And if there is abuse of any kind going on with an Omega, report it to me and I will handle it accordingly."

Liza, Sami and I nodded and said together, "Yes, Alpha."

With that, Alpha Maxwell turned around and left.

{Victoria}

When I saw Riley's mother choking her I couldn't help but have flashbacks as to how I was treated because of my sexuality. That pissed me off to no end. I wanted to march after Riley's mother and strike her down right then and there. But out of respect for Riley I didn't go after her.

After the incident I went back to my room to settle down and relax. Then my cell phone started to ring. I snickered when I looked at the caller ID and it said Satan on it. I find it kind of funny that my real father's name is Satan and I'm pretty sure if someone saw that contact on my phone they would probably think that I have some sort of relationship issues with my parents or something.

I picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hi there, how's the tour going?" Satan asked.

"A little tiring but on the bright side I found another mate," I said. "She's a werewolf named Riley."

Satan chuckled. "I had a feeling you might get more mates during this tour. That happened to me. As a matter of fact that's how I met Cathy. She was my first wife and then others came along. By the end of the tour I had found six different mates. All of them ranging from other demons like Cathy to werewolves and vampires."

I groaned. "I'm fine with the mates I have, thank you very much and that includes Riley. I'm not sure if I can handle any more mates after her. But I am happy that I have at least one female mate. It gives me a break from the males."

Satan burst into laughter at that comment. When he composed himself he said, "I'm glad I don't have that problem. But I'm also glad that I have a daughter. Most of my children are boys so I can kind of see where you're coming from. I'm glad to have another female in the family besides my wives."

I paused. "What if I'm not enough to satisfy all of my mates?"

"You'll figure something out and if all else fails you'll permit them to choose another mate when you're not available or if the Moon Goddess is willing she'll provide them with another mate. Who knows, it might also become a mate within mates scenario," Satan said.

"Huh?" I said.

"Mates within mates means that one of your mates could be paired to another one of your mates. I know you have four mates now, Walter, Louis, Ben and now Riley. So it could wind up being Walter mated to Louis, Ben or Riley-" Satan said.

"But Riley's a Lesbian," I said.

"Okay then, you get what I'm saying. It could be a combination of things. Or Riley could have more than one mate just like you. It happens," Satan said.

When he finished his explanation there was a little bit of a pause. Satan broke it, "Listen, just use this tour as a way to get to know even further how things are done in your position and possibly learn how to control your powers. I hear they're not fully under control yet?"

I shook my head as if he could see me. "No, they're not and honestly I'm surprised that they haven't come out with this visit to this pack."

"What pack are you at right now?" Satan asked.

"The MoonStone pack," I answered.

Satan snickered. "Yeah that's Alpha Maxwell's pack. Have you butted heads with him already?"

"A little bit," I said. "I made a comment about how Omegas being turned into maids and not being able to go to school like the other children in the pack is pretty much slavery."

"I agree with you on that one. But there are some Alpha's who are just set in their ways or just follow their parents traditions at face value. The tradition of making Omegas work as maids from childhood is very outdated and it's something I think the High Council should look into. Now it's one thing if the Omegas are just prisoners of war but it's another if the Omega has just been an Omega and a maid their whole entire life," Satan said. "The only time I'm okay with slavery is when the Omega is a prisoner of war. If the Omega is just a child and it's happening just because of their rank then, no."

He chuckled as he continued, "Funny, I'm the King of Hell and I have an issue with things such slavery sometimes. Honestly, to me slavery should just be used as a form of punishment. But that's just me."

"What's funny about Alpha Maxwell is he actually is starting to change the tradition of Omegas being maids just because of their rank. And he did try to hit on me and ask me to be his Luna," I said. I shuddered. "Thank goodness the Moon Goddess didn't pair me up with him. That would stroke his ego and he would probably be the only mate that I would actually consider rejecting."

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"Although I have no doubt that you'll be finding more mates on this little tour before you go back home. Just call this the Mating Tour!" Satan laughed.

I groaned, "Seriously?"

"What? I think it's funny!" Satan said.

"Uh-huh," I said with sarcasm.

I heard someone giggle and I smiled when I turned around and saw Riley smiling at me. "Okay then, I gotta go."

"Sure thing and don't worry about reporting to me or anything like that. This is a chance for you to learn things in order to do your job properly. I'll talk to you later," Satan said. He hung up the phone after that.

"Yeah I'd think it would be some sort of punishment to be paired up with Alpha Maxwell at the moment," Riley giggled. Then she scowled, "Considering he rejected his mate and had a witch cast a spell on her to forget that she was his mate. He treated her in a very cruel manner and cast her aside like she was garbage. Then he made her an Omega! And that Omega is actually one of my best friends. Her name is Sami. Honestly, if I were Sami I'd think twice before accepting him again. Especially since she already remembers what happened. She's pissed off at him and rightly so."

I gasped. "He what! That's a lot worse than what he told me happened. Why that little prick!"

Riley paused. "What did he tell you what happened?"

"That he rejected his mate and made her a rogue," I growled. "I'm really glad I didn't get paired up with him now. Poor Sami. Honestly, after hearing that story I hope she doesn't forgive him and that he never finds someone to take her place as Luna. But, if she does forgive him then I wish her luck and hopefully she finds her happiness. Whether it's with Alpha Maxwell or not."

Riley nodded. "Agreed."

"To think I actually ordered him to go find his mate and beg for forgiveness," I groaned.

Riley chuckled, "Knowing Sami, she might just reject him out of spite."

"I'd hate to be the Moon Goddess. I'd be weeping and wanting to come down and punch the guy and console the Omega. Does Sami have a second chance mate?" I said.

Riley shook her head. "Not that I know of."

"Well that's good to know for now. I'm curious to see how this is going to turn out," I said.

"That makes two of us," Riley said.

{omniscient}

Two weeks after Princess Victoria, Riley and the rest of her group left the MoonStone pack Alpha Maxwell had been dragging his feet about doing what the Princess ordered him to do. He had a lot of pride about being strong and he didn't want a weak mate. But just maybe Princess Victoria was right. Maybe there was more to his mate that meets the eye?

Alpha decided that he wouldn't drag his feet anymore because he knew that the longer he put this the worse things would turn out to be.

He was nervous big time! He took the weekend off after dealing with back to back meetings all week. At the moment he was practicing talking to his mate in a mirror to help ease his nerves.

He cleared his throat, "Um, Sami I know it's been a while and you probably don't remember me but I'm your mate and I'm sorry I neglected you. So-"

He was interrupted by a knock on his office door. When he opened the door he was surprised to see Sami standing with a sinister smile on her face.

His wolf stirred in the back of his mind. That surprised him even more because after the night he rejected Sami and made her an Omega his wolf refused to talk to him and because of that he couldn't shift into his wolf anymore.

"May I come in, Alpha?" Sami asked. "I'd like to report a situation of abuse to an Omega."

Alpha Maxwell stepped aside to let Sami into the office. "So what happened?"

"It's been several years, Alpha! It happened seven years ago and you're the abuser!" Sami growled.

Alpha Maxwell's jaw dropped. "You remember?"

"Oh I remember alright! I remember every single detail about that night. You used me, then rejected me and then stomped me by making me an Omega. And because I didn't get a chance to accept your rejection I felt it every time you slept with someone! Riley told me about what the Princess ordered you to do. I have no idea if you forgot about it or if you think that you're too good to follow through on orders because you're the top dog around here!" Sami snapped.

"I was busy! And I intended to follow through with carrying out the Princess's orders today. I took off work for this shit," Alpha Maxwell said.

Sami snickered. "Oh you poor, poor thing! Here I am slaving away because of being an Omega with tons of chores while you only have to deal with the inconvenience of having to take off work. Let me guess, you think everything is going to be resolved by the end of the weekend? And that I'm going to jump for joy that my Alpha mate has finally recognized me has his mate after seven long fucking years? Do you know what it feels like when a mate feels the pain of their partner cheating on them?"

Alpha Maxwell gulped. "N-no?"

She stepped closer to him. "It feels like you're being cooked alive, or more like you've locked inside a sauna for days. Oh sure, taking a cold bath helps for the pain a little bit but not much."

As Sami was talking Alpha Maxwell's whimpered.

"I… I had no idea. Look, I'm sorry, okay," Alpha Maxwell said.

Sami snorted. "Oh, oh now you're sorry!" She raised her voice, "SEVEN FUCKING YEARS AND NOW YOU'RE SORRY! YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE! YOU TOSSED ME AWAY BECAUSE I WAS THE WEAKEST WARRIOR IN YOU PACK! AND YOU MADE ME OMEGA AND TRIED TO MAKE ME FORGET THAT I WAS YOUR MATE! YOU HATED ME AND NOW I HATE YOU WITH EVERY BEING IN MY BODY!"

Normally Alpha Maxwell is never scared of anyone. He had fought countless monsters that most people would consider scary and they didn't scare him. In the past he went head on into war with another pack because they dared to challenge him. Was he scared then? No he wasn't. But in this moment the way Sami's voice shook, actually her body was shaking and her wolf was threatening to come out and rip him to shreds. That scared him.

Alpha Maxwell had personally seen a couple of times someone lose control of their wolf because of their thirst for vengeance and their anger clouding their emotions. He didn't blame Sami for being angry. Why she stuck around for seven years while he was out living his best life was beyond him.

Sami took a deep breath and tried to calm her wolf down. Patience Grace, we'll have our revenge but I want you to be composed when it happens.

But it's been seven years! I can't take anymore of our mate being an asshole! He deserves to pay for what he's done! At least let me rip his dick off! Grace whined.

Alpha Maxwell's wolf heard what Grace said through the mate bond and he thought it was funny. Alpha Maxwell's wolf's name is Rex. Rex laughed. I like our mate's wolf. I wonder why she didn't rip dick off seven years ago, myself. You certainly don't deserve to have one.

"Listen just… Give me a chance… Please…" Alpha Maxwell pleaded.

Sami burst into laughter. "Oh that's a good one! And why should I do that?"

"Because we're mates!" Alpha Maxwell declared.

"Aw so now we're mates, how cute!" Sami said. She laughed a wicked laugh and quickly composed herself, "I propose a form of punishment for you."

"Punishment?" He repeated.

Sami nodded. "Oh yes, punishment. I'm not rejecting you or accepting you. Oh no, rejection would be too kind for you. And I'm not letting Grace rip off your dick, that would be too kind for you as well."

He gulped. "So what type of punishment do you propose?"

"I think you should know what it feels like to be cheated on," Sami responded. "Since you can sleep around and stick your dick in other pussies that aren't mine I should be able to stick my pussy on any other dick that's not yours."

"But-" Alpha Maxwell started.

She smirked. "What's the matter? Is the big bad Alpha afraid of a little pain? So for the punishment I say for one year you let me sleep around with as many men as I want to and you remain celibate for the whole year. You see, I'm a fan of eye for an eye. Because those seven years that you were sleeping around guess what? I didn't sleep with anyone.

"Oh how I waited and waited for the day that you would see the light and change your mind. But you didn't and it's sad that you didn't do it until someone with higher authority than you ordered you to do it. And that you've 'seen the light' I've changed my mind. I don't want to be recognized as your mate and Luna yet. All I ask is for one year I get to sleep around and you don't go after the men that I've slept with. You should take comfort in the fact that I won't be able to get pregnant by them because they're not my mate."

Alpha Maxwell's wolf didn't like the sound of Sami's idea. But he wanted her to forgive him and wanted her to give him a chance at least. He gulped. "Although I don't like the idea, I'll do it. But on the condition that you don't go outside of the pack to do it. I'll…" He grit his teeth. "Supply you with the men that you sleep with."

Sami rolled her eyes. "Okay then, I think we need to sit down and put this in writing don't you?"

"You don't trust your Alpha to keep his word?" Alpha Maxwell while giving her a look of disbelief.

She shook her head. "Nope. Not one little bit."

Rex could help but be proud of his mate for finally standing up for herself. It's about time our mate stood up for herself! I don't like the idea she's come up with but she does have a point.

So Alpha Maxwell and Sami sat down and laid out a contract for the punishment for how long it should happen and what happens if someone goes against the rules. After they both were satisfied with the contract they signed it.

Once Sami left the office to get ready to start Alpha Maxwell's punishment, Alpha Maxwell sighed, "This is going to be a loooong year."

Rex completely agreed with him on that. It was going to be a long year but if that's what it took for Sami to forgive him and possibly give him a chance then he would do it.

{Walter}

The tour that Victoria's father suggested we go on took three whole weeks! and during that time I found out that I had another mate who turned out to be a Vampire named Rose. She's beautiful but she doesn't compare to Victoria. Victoria's my first mate and the one that I still give my heart to completely. Rose knows this so from what I know of she hasn't gotten jealous of Victoria just yet.

After learning that I had another mate like Victoria does she was okay with it. As long as I come back to her at the end of the day and don't sleep with anyone outside of the arrangement then it's all good.

I made sure to tell Rose that I won't mark her before I marked Victoria and she agreed with that. The same way Riley agreed with that.

Speaking of mates Victoria found a total of two mates, one of them is a werewolf named Riley and the other is also a vampire named Ross. What's funny about this is that Ross is Rose's twin brother!

Contrary to what most believe, vampires can go out into the sunset with hardly any problems at all. Yes, vampires do bite their mates when they first meet but it's just to double check if that person is their mate or not. It doesn't leave a mark behind. The official mark comes when they are fully ready to commit to each other. If vampires aren't willing to commit to their mate then they don't mark them. It's as simple as that.

But they do understand that they won't be marked until after Victoria is marked. That ceremony is to take place on Victoria's birthday next year.

The first thing Victoria did when we got home was take a nice long nap. That was fine because she looked exhausted. Cody ran up to the bed and hopped on it and snuggled up next to her.

"You guys have a dog, interesting," Riley said. "Although my wolf doesn't mind. I think he's cute. And the way Victoria's snuggling with him is adorable! Let me get a picture of this."

She took out her cell phone that Victoria gave her and took a picture. I have to agree with her. Victoria sleeping beside Cody as if he were a plushie will never stop being adorable.

Ross frowned when he saw that and had a look of concern. "Poor thing, she's worn out! A nice long nap-"

He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence when we heard Jenny shout, "I heard my baby was home! Where is she?"

I groaned and walked outside to greet her. "She's in her room sleeping. She's been away from home dealing with stressful situations for the past three weeks. She even got wind on someone attacking the Royals on her own turf and shut it down quickly. She's barely recovered from that stress alone."

"Wow, my baby sister's such a badass!" Jenny exclaimed.

I smiled. "Yeah I know and we have some new additions to the family."

Jenny grasped, "Are guys pregnant already?"

I choked. "No we're not. Now is not the time for kids and Victoria has agreed with that. What I met was we have a few people that will be joining the family."

I walked back into the room and called Riley, Rose and Ross outside.

"Riley, Rose and Ross meet Victoria's big sister Jenny," I said. "Jenny, meet Riley, Rose and Ross."

"Hello there!" Riley, Rose and Ross said at the same time.

"Oh my goodness!" Jenny said as she hugged them. When she got to Ross stopped and gave him a flirting smile. "And who is this little cutie?"

I've never seen Jenny flirt with anyone besides David before and it felt odd seeing her do that.

Ross didn't seem to like Jenny's touch as he recoiled and backed away from her. "Don't touch me and I sense that you already have a mate and it's not me."

"What? Can't I appreciate a sexy guy when I see one?" Jenny pouted.

"Appreciate yes, flirt with? No thank you," Ross said.

"Jenny, can I talk to you for a bit?" I asked.

She nodded and I pulled her off to the side. "Why are you flirting with Ross when you already have a boyfriend?"

Jenny paused. "Oh, um about that. David and I broke up."

I blinked. "What? Why?"

"Well… We did wind up having a child which I was gonna tell you guys about that when you got back from your trip," She answered. "However, when I first started dealing with my son I realized that I wasn't cut out to be a mother. So I left and now David's hell bent on taking care of his child alone and now he's taking me to court for child support."

"So you're basically a deadbeat mother?" I said.

"Hey you say that like it's a bad thing!" Jenny protested.

"It is a bad thing! Do you have any idea how much a child not having a mother when they grow up could affect them?" I asked. I couldn't believe my ears. In my eyes Jenny was being rather selfish. "And if I recall correctly you were the one that wanted a child in the first place!"

She sighed, "Yeah I know. I did want a child because I had to stop seeing my baby sister as my child. She's grown to not be as dependent on me now because of her position in life. I just wanted her to need me. And I realized that's why I wanted a child. I wanted to feel needed."

My jaw dropped. "And now that you realize that you can't hack it you run off with your tail between your legs? Coward."

Jenny narrowed her eyes and hissed, "What did you just call me?"

"You're a coward!" I spat.

"Okay what's with all the commotion out here?" I heard Victoria growl. "I'm trying to sleep!"

"Victoria!" Jenny said as she ran to give her a bear hug. "How are you?"

"Well I'm grumpy because a group of people standing outside my door decided to wake me up from my nap," Victoria snapped.

"It's nothing. I just broke up with David and you have a nephew named Brandon," Jenny said as it wasn't a big deal.

Victoria's eyes went wide. "What! When did this happen?"

"You've been so busy lately it was easy to hide my pregnancy from you," Jenny said.

"Alright let me change my clothes and let's go talk about this in my office," Victoria said.

Once Jenny left for Victoria's office, Ross and Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think that woman is crazy," Ross said.

I snorted. "She is, she wanted Victoria to act like her child."

"I see, I'll make a note to try and avoid her then," Ross said.

"Aw come on Ross, she's not that bad!" Rose said. "A little weird but not that bad."

Ross shook his head. "My affection like that is reserved for just my mate."

She shrugged. "Alright then."

"Okay let's get you guys settled in, your rooms should be ready to go. You'll be able to decorate them in any way you like," I said.

I motioned for them to follow me down the hallway to their rooms.
