Notes
     My first story totally failed because I was having some problems and
     had no motivation whatsoever to continue. I have faith I will finish
     this story since I know where it's headed. Please be patient with me
     with the updates! Feedback is greatly appreciated. :) I want to give
     a special thanks to my friend who had proofed read it. If it weren’t
     for her and her motivation phrases I wouldn’t be able to post my
     work. Enjoy!

     Dean is 19 and Castiel is 16.
***** Chapter 1 *****
If you ask Dean if he ever thought of a normal life, he would answer no because
his life was everything but normal. Full of blood, grime, and murder. Sometimes
he would think he was missing something, but he always ignored the feeling; The
feeling of loneliness that swept over him when he saw a happy couple or a child
playing catch with their father.
He yearned for it. He didn't understand why exactly, so he decided to ignore
it. He didn't want to think about it too much because his past would begin to
creep back on him. It wasn't that he didn't want a normal life, it was that he
simply couldn't have one. He didn't voice his thoughts to the man who had
raised him into being an assassin. The man named John Winchester. His own
father. When his mother died after a few months of giving birth to his baby
brother, John changed. Dean was only four when it happened. He still remembered
that horrible day. Too much trauma for a little boy like him. He had watched
his own mother get brutally murdered by a sick man who did it for fun. He had
watched his father become a broken man. Always wasting his money on alcohol to
drink his emotions away.
Then, one day, he had snapped. He tracked down the murderer. It was a good
thing John left his kids with a close friend, Bobby. Dean didn't think he could
witness another murder at such a young age, but now he's the murderer. He liked
the word assassinator better, but he's still a criminal, like the man that had
killed Mary Winchester.
When John returned he had trained Dean. When Sam got a bit older he tried to
train him as well, but Bobby wouldn't let him.
"They're kids for crying out loud!" Bobby had said. His arms were crossed when
he glared at John.
"They need to learn how to protect themselves" John had argued. They were going
at it for a couple of minutes until Bobby decided it was time for them to
leave. He managed to take Sam successfully, but Dean was a lost cause. Bobby
shook his head sadly and left through the front door with Sam in hand.
That was the last time Dean had seen his baby brother. He knew he couldn't
visit them or it would put all of them in danger. He knew that, so instead he
did all the dirty work like the obedient son he was.
Dean walked into his father's office and sat down on an empty chair silently.
The room was plain as usual saved from the desk and a couple of chairs. He kept
his posture straight and maintained eye contact with him. He didn't move a
muscle or let his eyes wander around the room. He knew how his father got when
he wasn't being listened to.
"Great work Dean" John praised and Dean had to bite back his smile. He always
felt better when his father praised him. Even though it was because he was
successful in killing his target. One less monster in the world. "I have
another mission for you. I know it's so soon since you just arrived, but it
turns out a mobster's son moved here a couple of months ago."
Dean didn't complain. Even when his muscles ache just from thinking about going
on another mission. He can do this. Maybe after this, his father will let him
rest for a while. “We're making the world a better place,” he thought to
himself. In a cruel and terrible way, but for the better.
"The mobster's name is Aloysha Galerkin. His wife died in a tragic accident
that left him devastated. He wasn't a problem until the accident. His crime
rates went up drastically. His son, Vitali Galerkin, is his only family member.
Your mission is to kill him. It won't be easy since he's an Alpha and has been
taught how to fight, so good luck out there son. I don't doubt you'll beat him
with your very own Alpha strength. You're dismissed."
Dean stood up from the chair quickly and nodded. "I'll report back to you when
I have made progress" he finally spoke up. He turned on his heel and headed out
of the office. When he was out of the room, he let out a breath he didn't know
he was holding. He was practically choking on the intense atmosphere whenever
he was in the same room as his father. He was lucky that his father didn't
smell his fear or he just didn't care.
No time dwelling on it. He has a mission to do. He stood up straight and walked
over to his room. Closest to a home he has. It didn't even feel like home, but
it was the best he can do. He sits down on the leather chair near a desk where
his very own laptop lays on. He opens the device and starts it up to look up
information about this mobster and his son. It didn't help that his father
didn't give him enough information. He only knew the names. Maybe if he looks
them up in the police files...
Ah, there he is. Most wanted mobster in the state of Kansas. The files show the
mugshot of Aloysha Galerkin. A Russian alpha with no family members.
Interesting, the man must've thought this through to hide that he had a son.
It's a good thing he was friends with a hacker named Charlie. She had taught
him a lot of things that helped him in missions.
Charlie Bradbury. Also, an assassin that chose to be here for her dying mother.
Unlike Dean, he didn't choose to be here. He was forced into it by his father.
Charlie knew that, and she had promised to never tell another soul. There were
more people like them out there. Some most likely forced into the organization
or choosing to be here for a desperate attempt of help.
Dean knew the feeling of being hopeless and desperate. He had seen how hopeless
his father was when his wife was murdered. He had craved revenge so much that
he decided to start this organization to help others in need. It was a miracle
how they haven't been caught. People like Charlie helped them in so many ways.
For example, people didn't suspect Dean and Charlie to be criminals. It just
proved they were that good in their job, and in return, John had helped
Charlie's mother lived. The only problem is that Charlie couldn't see her every
day. The girl didn't seem to mind though. She was just happy that her mom is
okay.
Dean sighed and shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts to get
back to work. He had managed to find Vitali's file as well. It was a bit harder
since he seemed like a normal person. An 18-year-old Russian boy who had just
transferred to a new high school after some 'family issues.' The dude looked
like an asshole to Dean. With that smug expression, he had in his school photo.
"Guess it's time to go to school," Dean said to no one in particular. His voice
fell on deaf ears as he shut his laptop and stood up from his chair. He already
has a packed bag from his last mission, but they weren't schooled appropriate
clothes. He walked over to his dresser and started to pack another bag. He
grabbed clothes that were for school and clothes that were for hunting. He also
packed his laptop carefully. He didn't want it to break or he'll have to buy a
new one and start all over with the hacking. He swung his duffle bag over his
shoulder and left his room.
He walked down the hallway with his head down, ignoring anybody who passed by
him. He was almost out the door when someone bumped into him.
"Dean! I'm so glad I bumped into you" Charlie's cheery voice made Dean smile
slightly. What a coincidence that he was just thinking about her.
"Hey, Charlie. How's it going?" Dean asked it wouldn't hurt to have a talk with
Charlie. He had a lot of time anyways.
"Oh, you know, the usual." Charlie's eyes darted towards the bag that Dean had.
Her expression changed into something sad as she pouted. "You're leaving again?
You just got here."
Dea shrugged and smiled sadly at her. "Boss's orders. I'll be back before you
know it though. This time he'll let me rest for a couple of months hopefully if
he's feeling generous."
Charlie nodded slowly. He knew by the look on her face that she didn't like it.
They were friends for three years now, and whenever he left she worried for
him. He couldn't blame her though because he would be worried about her too. He
won't be able to experience what she goes through since his father had said she
wasn't capable of going out in the field. Dean had agreed.
"I'll have your word for it. Good luck out there, and call me when you need
help. I mean it, okay?" Charlie's smile was back on her face, and she stepped
forward to hug Dean tightly. He dropped his duffle bag on the floor to wrap his
arms around her. Even though she was a lot older he was still taller. He would
always tease her about it which led to her punching him on the shoulder.
"I promise." Dean pulled back to ruffle her hair. "I'll also make sure to check
in to tell you I'm alive. Alright red?" He stepped back to grab his bag from
the floor.
"You better, or I'll hunt you down myself' Charlie teased lightly as she waved
when he walked away. Dean knew she would keep her promise that she would hunt
him down.
The freezing night hit him like a slap in the face. He rubbed his arms for some
warmth as he jogged up to his Impala. "Well, looks like we're going for another
ride," he told his car as he climbed inside. He tossed the duffle bag behind
him and took his keys out of his pocket. With shaking hands from the cold he
managed to insert the key in the ignition to turn on his car. The heater kicked
in immediately making him sigh in relief.
Of all the ways he could possibly die, he did not want to freeze to death. That
would totally be embarrassing for someone like him. After warming up he backed
out of the parking lot and drove in the direction to Kansas. His old hometown.
He had a bad feeling about this.
-
Dean parked by the hotel closest to the school. His first day of school starts
in a couple of days, and he didn't want to drive for miles just to go to school
every day. He's thankful that his father enrolled him in the high school before
he started his mission. He knew how much of a pain in the ass it is. If he had
it his way he would just walk in and pretend he was a student there. He grabbed
his duffle bag from the backseat and headed inside the hotel that was
surprisingly warm. He stopped by the front desk where the clerk was looking at
him weirdly.
"One room with one bed please" Dean ordered as he took out one of his fake
credit cards to pay with. The clerk raised an eyebrow and looked like he was
about to ask if he was old enough to be on his own. Dean always got those kinds
of looks. Instead of asking, thank god, the clerk grabbed his credit card to
pay for the room before handing it back to him along with another card to
access the room.
"Enjoy your stay, Mr. Smith." The clerk said, trying to be polite as Dean
walked away to go to his room. He just wanted to sleep for a couple of hours.
Screw the mission for now.
He inserted the card to unlock the door. He pushed it open and turned on the
lights to get a good look at the room. There's a very comfortable bed Dean
can't wait to lay on, a nightstand with a lamp on top of it, a tv for his
entertainment, and a table along with two chairs. On top of the furniture is
equipment to make a hot cup of coffee for himself when morning came. He
deserved a little reward, so he looked up one of the best hotels to stay at. He
definitely made the right choice.
Dean set his duffle bag on the ground before shedding his leather jacket,
boots, and ripped jeans. He wanted to be comfortable for the night and having
all these layers on isn't going to do it. He unzipped his bag to grab the
toothbrush and toothpaste he had packed before going to the restroom. He turned
on the light and was almost blinded by it. It was brighter than the room's
lights. He blinked a couple of times to regain his vision and looked towards
the mirror. Well, that explains it. The bathroom had a mirror for women to do
their makeup. Small light bulbs surrounding the square shape of the mirror. He
could practically see every shade of green in his irises.
He started the nightly routine he did every day before going to bed. Brushing
his teeth, washing his face, checking over his weapons to make sure he had
them, and finally turning off the lights. He climbed under the covers and
hummed in approval at how soft the blankets are. When his head hit the pillow
he was out like a light.
-
Dean headed towards his Impala. It isn't cold like it was last night. He wore a
light hoodie to keep him warm in the meantime anyway. He drove to the high
school with the help of his phone. Thank god for the futuristic stuff he still
didn't really understand. That was a job for Charlie not him. He just killed
the bad guys. He followed the directions and was met by a large building. The
school was in session since there were students everywhere. Too many students
to his liking. Classes haven't started which meant it will be a little harder
to spot his target. He had a screenshot of the guy's classes which is pretty
much useless right now.
He parked close to the school and got out. He put on his hood over his head and
kept his head down to hide some of his facial features as he started to walk
towards the place. He didn't want to take any chances in case if someone
recognized him somehow. He got a couple of curious glances but was mostly
ignored.
He scanned the place carefully and slowly. Where would Vitali be at in this
kind of place? Dean was thinking of asking around but decided against it. News
would spread quickly about the new kid asking for Vitali. He knew how these
things work, unfortunately. Drama is what teenagers caused. Gossip is what they
always talked about.
Something caught his eye, and he immediately turned around to get a better look
on instinct. Another high school student wearing a letterman's jacket. Dean
didn't know why that caught his attention. Was it because of the awful colors
it presented? The different kinds of patches on their sleeves? He tried to
think real hard until it hit him. Vitali is the captain of the football team.
Of course. That means he would be inside the school or the locker rooms. Dean
decided to check the school first. He walked up to the double doors and pushed
them open to gain entrance to the campus. His eyes darted everywhere and took
in everything the school had to offer. They seemed pretty dedicated to the
sports. There was a couple of posters about a concert for the band and some
hanging artwork for the students to gaze at, but it was mostly sports that
painted the walls. A football game is taking place next Friday he noted. Maybe
he can plan Vitali's death during the game. He would have to stay at the high
school for a couple more weeks to not raise any suspicion.
Dammit. Dean hated the missions that were school related. They took the
longest. The first time he had done a mission like this he had to leave a
couple of people he called his friends. It was horrible, so whenever he had
missions like this he always made sure to not get too attached.
He turned the corner and stopped in his tracks when he finally spotted him. He
retraced his footsteps and plastered his back against the wall. It was a good
thing that the hallways were empty. He took a peek at him to watch what he's
doing. Vitali was standing almost in the middle of the hallway. He was with two
other people Dean didn't recognize at all. One of them had the same letterman's
jacket as his target, while the shortest one from the three looked
uncomfortable. The fear that flooded Dean's nostrils was so strong it made his
eyes water. Behind the fear, there was a very sweet scent. It smelt so good to
him it made his mouth water. A reaction that he didn't know he could have on
duty. “An omega,” he knew instantly. He couldn't hear what they were saying
which left him frustrated.
Vitali pushed the Omega to the floor and laughed at him along with his friend.
The force made the omega groan in pain. He patted on the floor to look for his
glasses as he heard the two bullies walking away. Once he found them he put
them on, but frowned at how one of his lenses broken from being pushed to the
floor.
The action made Dean's blood boil in anger. He clenched his fists and bit back
the growl that threatened to leave his mouth. What was happening to him? It
seemed like somehow his inner alpha was scratching at the surface, wanting to
take control. Dean hoped his inner alpha wasn't going rogue because he knew the
consequences. They will have to put him down if he gets too dangerous. He
turned on his heel and left the building. His observation is done for today.
He'll get a closer look once his first day of school starts.
 
***** Chapter 2 *****
Chapter Notes
     Thanks for all the feedback! Y'all gave me the motivation to write
     the second chapter. :) I hope you enjoy!
The days before school started was hell for Dean. He tried hard to focus on the
mission, but instead, his thoughts kept being invaded by the Omega he saw in
school. He didn’t know why or how. He was always good with these type of
things. He hadn’t made any progress thanks to the distraction though.
 
Dean sighed tiredly. He dragged himself out of the bed with a groan. With his
eyes half open he attempted to make some coffee for himself. It was a miracle
that he didn’t burn himself. Even if some of the hot coffee got on him he
wouldn’t be able to feel the pain it had to offer.
 
He subconsciously reached out for the burnt mark on his side. The mark that was
engraved in his skin when his home was burnt down by one of his father’s
enemies. The only place he had called home because it held so many memories.
Especially the worse one; his mother’s death.
 
He gripped the mug tightly and took a sip. His eyes flutter shut, and he hummed
in approval when the familiar hot liquid flooded his taste buds.
 
He opened his eyes. He was fully awake now thanks to the coffee. He set his mug
down and changed into the outfit he had set out last night. He didn’t want to
be a bad first impression by being ‘fashionably late.’
 
Dean chuckled out loud at his own joke. Wow, how even more lonely can he get?
Someday he’ll probably go crazy for being alone too much, but that’s just his
job.
 
Once he’s done putting on his leather jacket, he grabs his mug, and heads out
of the room with his backpack slung lazily over his shoulder.
 
-
 
“My name is Dean Winchester. I’m new to this school,” he said to the lady in
the front office. He tapped his fingers on the desk as he waited for her to
type his name in the computer. It was a pretty fancy device. One of the newer
models that came out not too long ago. He made a mental note of buying, more
like stealing, one for Charlie. The nerd deserved something special after years
of helping him out.
 
“Ah, here you are,” the lady said cheerfully as she printed out his schedule.
“We haven’t had new students in a while. Aside from freshman of course. You’ll
probably be on top of the gossip.”
 
“Great,” Dean drawled out sarcastically. Just what he needed. The whole
school’s attention. Apparently, a new student means someone new to annoy and
talk about. He hated that.
 
“Enjoy your stay at Blue Valley High School!” The lady grinned then went back
to her work.
 
Dean was so distracted, he didn’t even know the school’s name until the giddy
lady mentioned it. Great job Dean. You’re doing great.
 
He looked down at the slip to check what classes he had. He hoped he had his
target in one of them because if not, then he’ll have to try out for the
football team. Gross. The locker rooms are always so sweaty when they finish
with practice. He shivered by thinking about it. He isn’t much of a clean
freak, but come on, he likes being clean.
 
When he walked into the hallway he was overwhelmed about how many people were
passing by. They kept pushing each other out of the way like they had to get
somewhere quickly before time ran out, but where were they heading?
 
Then, a voice boomed in the hallway. The source of the sound was coming out of
the speakers pinned to the walls. “The pep rally starts in five minutes. Better
hurry if you want the best seats” the voice said.
 
Well, that explains why the students were pushing each other around. By the
looks of it, they either want to get out of class or the pep rallies were that
interesting. Dean had his fair shares of watching pep rallies. Some were
actually pretty good and intense while others were just plain boring, but if it
got him out of classes then why is he going to complain? He turned on his heel
and started to follow the crowd.
 
He had to squeeze himself through the entrance to be able to get to the big
gym. Oh, great. The air was very humid in the area. He wrinkled his nose and
covered it with his jacket. The smells were too much for his sensitive nose.
All the sweating and bodies bumping into him left him gagging.
 
Weird how he can’t handle it. He hoped he wasn’t getting sick. He can’t be able
to fight when he can’t even function properly. Not to mention the hospitals...
 
He takes a seat in the very back where only a couple of students are. They
mostly ignore him though. More intrigued about what’s going on than the new
kid. Most of the students are in the very front, cheering happily. It makes
Dean’s head pound from all the loud noises.
 
He lays his cheek on his palm as he mindlessly stares around the place. His
eyes wander around the crowd until he spots him. Just a few rows in front of
him he sees the blue-eyed omega sitting down, quietly, by himself it seems so.
He’s hugging himself while trying to make himself as small as possible.
 
The action makes Dean smile before he could stop it. He cleared his throat and
covers his mouth with his hand. He looks around to make sure no one has caught
him staring.
 
“Give it up for the football team!”
 
Dean turned his attention to the show in front of him. A group of guys walks in
the middle to take the spotlight. All of them are grinning from ear to ear
while wearing their jerseys with their number and school logo.
 
He spots Vitali almost immediately when the host hands the mic to him. The
captain of the football team. God, just by looking at him makes Dean’s blood
boil in anger, but why? Because he was bullying an omega?
 
Don’t get him wrong though because he believes in Omega’s rights, but he never
reacted this way. Again, he hopes he isn’t getting sick, and he sure as hell
hope he isn’t already getting attached to the Omega. He can’t afford
attachments.
 
For fuck's sake, he doesn’t even know his name. What was wrong with him?
 
Dean shook his head and sighed. The feeling of loneliness is probably already
getting to him. He doesn’t even remember the last time he hooked up when it was
for himself not his mission.
 
The pep rally took about an hour until it finally ended. Dean was already
getting restless from just sitting there. It didn’t help how the whole school
cheered as if their lives depended on it.
 
He stood up from his seat and walked out of the gym. He took out the slip to
check what he had for the second period since the event took up all the time
during first period. Human Anatomy. Science was never his strong suit. He knew
he would definitely fail.
 
Dean sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as he stood outside of the
classroom. He prepared himself before he entered. It was always difficult to go
through the process of being the new student.
 
He strolled into the classroom where only a couple of students were present.
They were doing their own thing while they waited for the bell to ring. Dean
walked up to the teacher and smiled at him with a calm expression. No one will
expect anything from a friendly Alpha. It’s how he always got through.
 
“You must be the new student” the man drawled out with a bored expression.
Finally, someone who wasn’t so thrilled about school. “My name is Mr. Crowley.
Don’t be annoying, and do your work so you won’t get on my nerves.”
 
“Noted,” Dean said as he shrugged. “Are there any empty seats? I mean all the
students aren’t here yet, and I don’t want to sit in someone else’s seat.”
 
“There’s one in the very back, or if you want to sit in the front, there’s this
one kid that never shows up, so you can take his seat, I guess.” The teacher
pointed towards the direction of the seats when he spoke.
 
Dean nodded, “Thanks.” He made his way to the very back in the corner and sat
down on the empty seat.
 
The bell rang and a few students came rushing in. A couple of others came in
late which made Crowley angry. “If I could beat up a student I would,” he
mumbled under his breath. Dean wouldn’t doubt that. He looked like he was about
to explode.
 
“As you all know there was a test today. Don’t groan, you all knew it was
coming. If you studied you’ll ace the test, but if you didn’t then good luck at
summer school. New kid in the back; you don’t have to take the test since I
doubt you know anything about the cardiovascular system.”
 
All the students turn their heads towards Dean who shrunk back into the corner
immediately. Clearing his throat, he nods, “That’s right. I’m not very good at
science. I don’t even know why I have this class.” He had his eyes on the
teacher and was happy that his voice didn’t crack or waver from all the eyes
burning into his skull.
 
“You’re not the only one, unfortunately” Crowley sighed and shook his head. He
grabbed the big pile of packets from his desk and started to pass them out.
 
When everyone turned away from Dean he felt like he could breathe again. He
slumped in his chair and looked around as the students quietly took the test.
It’s amazing how easily he can slip into boredom.
 
“I’m about two seconds from flinging myself to the sun,” he mumbled. He heard a
chuckle and turned to glare at them to shut up, but he stopped. His eyes widen
a bit in surprise when he spotted the omega. He could see the small smile even
when the omega had ducked his head.
 
The universe must hate him since he keeps seeing him, and again he caught
himself staring. He turned around as he folded his arms on the desk and hid his
face. He could feel his cheeks burning with embarrassment. He felt like a damn
fool.
 
He didn’t know when he drifted off until the bell woke him up. His head shot up
in surprise and watched as the students started to pack their things away. His
eyes wandered over to the omega’s assigned seat to only be disappointed when he
had left already.
 
Dean stood up from his seat and grabbed his backpack before quickly leaving the
classroom. He inhaled sharply to catch the omega’s scent and follow him. He
walked to where the scent led him which was the school lockers.
 
He strolled up to him and stared at him until he finished putting his books
away. When the omega closed his locker and turned to walk away he jumped in
surprised when as he saw Dean blocking his path.
 
They kinda just stared at each other for a while. Dean had a smile on his face
he wasn’t aware of while the shorter man shifted from foot to foot awkwardly.
He opened his mouth to say something when Dean finally spoke up.
 
“Hey, what’s your name?” Dean blurted out.
 
The omega tilted his head, taken back that someone was talking to him. He went
as far as looking behind him to make sure the alpha wasn’t talking to someone
else before answering. “Uh… My name is Castiel.” He answered in a hushed tone.
 
“Castiel,” Dean said, trying out the foreign name he never heard of before.
“That’s a cool name.” His smile widened when he saw Castiel blush at the
compliment. “My name’s Dean.” Then, just like that, he walked away.
 
Castiel just stood there by his locker as he starred after Dean. It took him a
little too long for him to start walking to his third-period class.
 
-
 
The next school day came too slow much to Dean’s amusement. He actually  wanted
to go to school, and for what? To see an omega. He’s had crushes before, but
nothing like this.
 
The routine kept continuing for days. After second period Dean would stop by
Castiel’s locker, say hello, stare a while, then walk away to go to third
period. He was usually better at trying to befriend a crush. Was it a crush? He
didn’t even know.
 
Dean had looked Castiel up, and by now he knew so much about him. Absent
father, an abusive mother, and a couple of siblings that had moved out the
minute they could. Not to mention that he’s poor considering he hasn’t gotten a
new pair of glasses after Vitali had pushed him. He felt bad for him, and all
he wanted to do was take Castiel with him.
 
So maybe it’s more than a crush. Maybe an obsession if people were willing to
go that far. Whatever it was Dean can’t have it. He  isn’t  supposed to have
it, but every time he tries to ignore Castiel he can’t. He is going to need a
lot of therapy after this.
 
When the teacher excuses him to go to the ‘restroom’ he stands up from his desk
and walks outside. He pulls out his phone and dials the phone number he knows
by heart. He waits as the phone rings.
 
“Dean! I’m so glad you’re alive!” Charlie’s cheerful voice sounded through the
phone. It made Dean smile to hear her voice after about a week.
 
“Hey, Red. I gotta make this quick since I’m being timed” Dean said, cutting to
the chase.
 
“What’s up?” Charlie asked in a seriousness.
 
“I’ve been having some problems, and I need you to look them up for me.” When
Charlie gave him the ‘go ahead’ he started to name all his symptoms. He heard
her typing away on her laptop. When he was done naming them she gasped.
 
“Charlie? What’s wrong? Am I going to die?”
 
No answer.
 
“I’m getting impatient here” Dean sighed and tapped his foot. Despite trying to
stay strong he felt worried that he might have some sort of disease he’s never
heard before.
 
Then, Charlie burst out laughing and couldn’t stop.
 
“For fuck’s sake, Charlie, what’s happening?!” Dean sighed, annoyed.
 
“I’m sorry.” She took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself before answering
her friend. “Oh, Dean. I can’t believe you’ve never learned this in school. You
just met your true mate!”
 
Oh.
 
Oh.
 
Shit.
 
True mate? He didn’t even know they existed...Wait. Is that why Mary’s death
drove John mad? Dean should really pay attention in school more often.
 
“Wait, wait. You’re telling me Castiel is my true mate?”
 
“That’s exactly what I’m telling you! I looked him up just now, and oh gosh
Dean, he looks so cute! You two make a perfect couple. I better be the maid of
honor at your wedding.” Charlie dead planned.
 
“Charlie! We barely just met” Dean pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed
for like the millionth time.
 
“Then get to know him more doofus. I’m just so happy for you, and you sound
lighter. I can’t really explain it, but you sound like you don’t have all the
weight of the world on your shoulders.” Charlie said in a soft tone. She really
was happy for Dean, and the way he had described Castiel in a fond voice made
her cheeks hurt from grinning too widely.
 
Dean was silent for a bit until he spoke up. “I don’t know what to do. He
probably thinks I’m weird for staring at him too long and just saying hey like
we’re friends. God, this is so complicated.”
 
“Calm down, Dean. Mayyyybeee you should ask him to tutor you.” Charlie drawled
out the ‘maybe’ word.
 
“Yeah, I can do that, I guess. Thanks, Charlie. I gotta go now. I’ll call you
how it goes okay?” Dean promised.
 
“You better. See ya!” Charlie hung up the phone.
 
Dean put his phone away and started to walk back to his class. He spaced out
while his English teacher started explaining what they were going to do.
 
He was actually thinking about asking Castiel to tutor him since he’s already
failing the Human Anatomy class, and by the looks of it, the omega is actually
pretty good at it. He would answer every question correctly when he got called
on by the teacher.
 
Dean had been thinking real hard about his plan that he didn’t notice the
school day was over until he saw people leaving. He quickly stood up from his
seat and made a beeline for the entrance before the hallways get too crowded.
 
-
 
“Hey, I was wondering if you could tutor me?” Dean blurted out the question
right when Castiel shut his locker.
 
Castiel looked at him in surprise. Dean somehow always surprised him. It’s like
he’s wondering why Dean keeps talking to him.
 
“Tutor you for what subject exactly?” Castiel asked slowly as he turned his
full attention to the alpha.
 
“Human Anatomy. I’ve noticed how really smart you are, and I’m already failing
the class even though I’ve been here for a week.”
 
Castiel blushed at the compliment. The blush was so adorable that Dean almost
hugged him. Almost. They weren’t at that point yet. He would probably scare him
off he did actually hug him, and right now he’s doing a good job of being at
arm’s length than invading his personal space.
 
“Um, sure. It’s no problem, really. When?”
 
“Maybe today? I can go over to your house around 5 pm.”
 
Castiel hesitated. Dean knew he was thinking about his mother if she was going
to be home or working. She was going to be working of course. He made sure of
it. They won’t be bothering them for a while.
 
“Sure, that sounds perfect. I’ll write down my address.” Castiel unzips his
backpack and pulls out a stack of pink post-it notes, how cute, along with a
pen. He writes down his address with very neat writing before giving it to
Dean.
 
“Thanks. I hope you have a great rest of the day” he smiled before walking away
to go to his next class.
 
He didn’t need Castiel to write down his address since he knew where the omega
lives, but he already knows that that’s creepy. Castiel didn’t need to know.
Dean didn’t want him in this mess, but he knew he would find out eventually.
The little guy is smart and because of that, Dean’s scared, but even that
didn’t stop him going to Castiel’s house for a tutoring session.
***** Chapter 3 *****
Dean stood in front of the door to Castiel’s house. He had been outside on the
front porch for about five minutes now, gripping onto the straps of his
backpack. He was nervous, and that’s saying a lot. He didn’t want to mess this
up, and that’s saying another thing.
“Pull yourself together, Winchester” he whispered to himself as he curled his
hand into a tight fist and lifted it to knock on the door.
A couple of seconds later Castiel opened the door. He smiled brightly and stood
to the side to let the alpha in. “Hello,Dean!”

“Hey, Cas. Nice place.” he complimented as he looked around the area. It was
very neat and organized. Cas must’ve cleaned the place up before he came.
“Th-Thank you.” Cas blushed. He didn’t seem to mind the nickname Dean had given
him luckily; It had just came out. “This way.” He pointed towards the kitchen
table where he was obviously doing his homework. He also had his Human Anatomy
book next to the pile of papers. Cas walked over and sat down on the chair he
was sitting on before he answered the door for Dean.
Dean follows him and sits down on the chair next to his. He unzips his backpack
and takes out the homework packet the teacher had provided for them. “I didn’t
bring my textbook…” He trailed off with a sheepish smile.
“It’s okay, we can use mine” Cas offers.
Dean nods and scoots his seat closer to Cas’; their arms are practically
touching, and it leaves the alpha’s skin on fire. His nostrils flare from the
intoxicating scent wafting from the omega next to him. All he wants to do is
reach over to and stick his nose where the scent is the strongest.
He can tell Cas is affected by his own scent too. It makes him smirk smugly.
“So shall we get started?” He asked, innocently.
“Yeah” Cas nodded and smiled.
Dean grabs his pencil and writes his name on the top of the paper, it's a
start. “Tell me about the reproductive system. How much does it take for an
alpha to knock up an omega?” He asked with a straight face.
Cas’ eyes go impossibly wide, and at this point he’s as red as a tomato. “Uh,
Dean, we’re learning about the nervous system” he squeaked out with a small
voice.
“Oh, right. I don’t really pay attention in class. I’m always distracted” Dean
chuckled. It was obvious that he was merely teasing the little omega.
Cas clears his throat and explains about the nervous system the best he can to
Dean. “The nervous system contains the brain and spinal cord. There are
different parts of the brain that controls different parts of the body. For
example, the motor cortex controls the movements of skeletal muscles. If it’s
damaged it will cause paralyzed muscles controlled by that area. Are you
listening to me Dean?”
Throughout Cas’ way of teaching Dean was spacing out. He had a dazed look on
his face with a small smile as he stared at Cas. How can he pay attention when
this omega is so darn beautiful?
Cas snaps his fingers close to Dean’s face which brings him back to reality.
“Hm? Sorry, I was spacing out” he chuckled.
“You didn’t listen to anything I said” Cas frowned, looking upset with a hint
of humiliation.
“How can I with that beautiful face of yours?” Dean blurted out without meaning
to. Now it was his time to blush. He ducked his head and rubbed at the back of
his neck awkwardly. “I mean, I’ll pay attention next time sorry.”
“You think I’m beautiful?” Cas questioned with curiosity but there was also
uncertainty like he thought Dean had made a joke about it.
Dean snapped his head up in surprise to look directly into Cas’ eyes. “Of
course you are. How can you doubt that?”
Cas blushed and looked down at his lap as he fiddled with his fingers. “Well,
if you had your mother saying that you were ugly then maybe you would
understand.” He shrugged like it’s no big deal, but it is. A very big deal to
the both of them.
“You shouldn’t listen to your mom. Who cares what she thinks. She’s only one
person.” Dean lifted Cas’ chin up with his finger so the omega could look at
him. “Believe me when I say that you’re beautiful, okay?”
Cas’ eyes started to tear up, but he clenched his jaw to keep any of the tears
from falling. “Okay” he said quietly. He believed him, but it was going to take
some time to get use to. Even though it’s only one person it still hurts
everytime his mother comes through the door to tell him stuff.
“Good, now how about that study date? I don’t want to be standing for the whole
period when I get wrong answer.’’ When the teacher calls on a student to answer
his question and they get it wrong he makes them stand for the rest of the
period. It didn’t help that Dean had to stand for three days straight in that
period.
“Nobody likes to stand during the entire period” Cas laughed, back to his
normal self. It made Dean smile to see the omega’s face brighten up like the
fireworks on the Fourth of July.
“I hope you brought your composition book. The one where Mr. Crowley makes you
take notes. With the book you can ask yourself questions and answer them with
the notes.”
Dean takes out a dark green composition book from his backpack and shows it to
Cas with a proud smile on his face. “I did!”
Dean didn’t actually plan on studying with Cas. He thought it would be too
boring. He wanted to hang out, get to know the omega, and see if he can get the
chance to take him out; but as it turns out, nothing can be boring when he’s
with Cas. Especially studying, and that’s saying something because Dean
Winchester had never studied in his life.
He would get easily bored or distracted which leads to him failing test after
test. This is where becoming an assassin was better than going to school, but
now, going to school is better than being an assassin; thanks to Cas.
Speaking of which...he hadn’t made any progress, and he knew his father would
be expecting an update soon.
Shit.
He hadn’t even met Vitali. He was supposed to take him out, make sure the
crimes went down, and leave. If he didn’t focus they would get away eventually.
Double shit.
But as he looked at Cas, his true mate, all those thoughts about the mission
immediately went away. Maybe living as a normal lovestruck teenager for a few
days would be okay and not make a difference in the world, but Dean is starting
to like living like a normal lovestruck teenager.
Because of Castiel.
After today Dean vowed to search Vitali down and take him out. He can’t waste
anymore time.
-
Dean always visited Castiel before classes started. He had volunteered to carry
his big textbooks while walking him to class. Somehow they always had something
to talk about, but today the alpha was running late. His alarm didn’t go off
which led to him oversleeping.
He practically threw himself through the double doors. His hair was sticking up
in all directions and his clothes were all wrinkly. He got some looks but
ignored them as he made his way towards Cas’ locker, but when he got there the
omega wasn’t there.
Dean frowned. Cas must be in his classroom already. Dammit. Great way to start
the morning.
He sighed as he turned on his heel and started his walk to first period. He
wasn’t looking forward to it at all. He was about to push open the door to the
classroom when he caught Cas’ scent.
Fear.
Dean was on high alert when he identified the scent. He started walking towards
the scent with his head held up high. Determined to make Cas feel safe once
again. When he got closer he could smell someone else.
Alpha.
He clenched his hands into white knuckles fists. His fingernails were digging
into his palms, breaking the skin. He could feel some droplets of blood, but he
ignored it.
Dean kept his posture calm as he rounded the corner and spotted the pair in the
end of the hallway. He wiped the blood on his jeans as he marched over to them
and stood in between Cas and the enemy, Vitali.
Dean can’t wait to kill him. Rip his throat out with his bare hands, but it
wasn’t a safe environment. Especially since Cas was standing right behind him.
“Hey, why don’t you pick on someone your own size?” Dean snarled as he glared
at the alpha in front of him.
“Oh look, the omega’s personal bodyguard coming to rescue him.” Vitali said.
His Russian accent was thick. Dean hated it. He hated everything about the man.
“Leave him alone. He hasn’t done anything to you.” Dean was still calm even
though he was burning up from anger on the inside. His statement is true, Cas
has never done anything to Vitali. He was just an easy target to pick on.
Not anymore.
“This is between me and him. Not you!” Vitali glared. He raised his hand
without warning and took a swing at his adversary.
Dean managed to block the punch that was thrown his way. He grabbed Vitali’s
arm and twisted it behind his back making the man groaned in pain. He fell down
to his knees as it became unbearable, to much for him too handle.
Dean grinned like a maniac. He loved when he inflicted pain upon someone he
hated. He was about to cause the man on his knees more pain when someone tugged
on his leather jacket.
“Dean! Let’s just go” Cas cried as he tried to stop Dean from doing anything
else he had in mind. He wasn’t worried about Vitali. Far from that. It was
actually quite satisfying to see him defeated after so many months of being
picked on by him.
He was worried about Dean. The hallways may be empty, but if anyone sees them
they would immediately take Dean to the office and get him suspended or worse.
It took a couple of seconds for Dean to comprehend what Cas had said. He let go
of Vitali and the man retracted his arm; hugging it to his chest with a
whimper.
Dean leaned in dangerously close with pure murder in his eyes. “This is your
last warning.” He straighten up again and looked over at Cas. His face
softening almost immediately upon seeing the delicate features of his true
mate. Vitali still looked horrified and scared. It made Dean smirk as he walked
away with Cas on his heel.
Dean headed outside to calm himself down. He hadn’t notice Cas follow him until
he felt a small hand on his shoulder that almost made him jump out of his skin.
“Oh, hey Cas. Shouldn’t you be going to class? You’ll be late” Dean pointed
out.
“I came here to check on you. You seem pretty bothered about what happened back
there.” Cas pointed his thumb towards the school.
“I’m fine, but what about you? I smelt the fear on you.” Dean stepped forward
and reached out for Cas’ faces to look for any bruises Vitali had left on him.
“He didn’t do anything I promise.” Cas’ eyes flutter shut and a small smile
spread against his face at the warm touch. When Dean pulled away the omega
wanted to chase after the touch. His face felt cold now. He opened his eyes to
look back to Dean who seemed further away.
“That’s good” Dean cleared his throat as he avoided Cas’ gaze. “Now that we
know we’re both okay we should go back to class.”
“Or we can just go somewhere else” Cas suggested as he fiddled with his
fingers, a habit he seems to develop whenever he’s nervous. “I don’t feel like
going to school today. After the morning I just had” he shrugged.
Dean looked at him like he was joking. Cas was always a goody two shoes always
telling the alpha to study and do his homework. He had a big smirk on his face.
“Geez Cas I think I’m a bad influence on you, but sure. Anything is better any
going to school. Where to Casanova?”
Cas giggled and shook his head at the different kinds of nicknames Dean called
him. It’s something new since all he’s ever been known as was Castiel or just
omega whenever he got bullied.
“There’s this place I go to when I want to be alone. I think it’s time for me
to show you.” He hesitantly slipped his hand into Dean’s. His face brightening
into a grin when the alpha squeezed his hand gently. He started to walk to the
direction of his ‘secret’ space.
“My car is parked right here. It’ll be faster” Dean pointed out, but he didn’t
stop walking.
“It’s not far, and it’s nice to take a short walk.” Cas replied, and they
walked in silent for the rest of the journey.
He led Dean to the woods. He had been through them so many times that he
practically knew where everything was. He had taken hikes in the woods and
found so many beautiful places, but his favorite place was the lake with clear
water and the occasional ducks that swim by.
Cas let go of Dean’s hand and plopped down on the grass. His grin hadn’t
faltered it only grew wider when he spotted the Mama duck with her ducklings
trailing behind her. “I like to pretend they’re my pets; I’ve never had a pet
before.” He unzipps his backpack and takes out a ziplock bag with bread in it.
He ripped it into pieces and threw it at the ducks for them to feed on.
Dean didn’t say anything as he sat next to Cas. He never had a pet either, so
he knew how the omega felt. “You’ll make a great owner” he replied instead. It
was worth it to see him this happy, and for once, Dean could say he was happy
himself too.
“Thanks” Cas ducked his head to hide his blush. He had never gotten use to all
the compliments by Dean. One time he had denied it, and it didn’t go too well.
Now, he accepted every compliment, and it helped him with his low self esteem
thankfully.
“Everything I say is true. You know that right?” Dean asked in all seriousness.
Cas nodded. “I am aware, and I want to thank you for that because no one has
ever been this nice to me.” He whispered so quietly that Dean had to scoot over
to hear him.
“Good because I’m not going to stop.” The alpha gave him a wolfish grin.
They sat in silence as they stared at the ducks. Dean stood up from the ground
and walked over to step on the big rock that didn’t waver when the water
splashed against it. He wanted to get a better view at the rest of the lake
since Cas liked it very much. Oh boy was it a bad idea.
He stood on his tiptoes then went back on his heels, and that’s when he
slipped. He yelped in surprised and tried to catch himself, but it was too
late. He fell into the water. The ducks shrieked and ran away into the woods.
“Dean!” Cas scrambled up from the ground and looked out in the water with wide
fearful eyes.
A few long seconds later Dean’s head shot up from the water. He gasped and
blinked the water out of his eyes as he shook his head like a dog to get the
water off of his hair.
Cas’ fear turned into amusement as he stared at the silly alpha in the water.
He covered his mouth to stifle his giggle, but when Dean turned to glare at him
he burst out laughing. “Oh my god!”
“I can’t believe that just happened” Dean mumbled as he swam towards the shore.
While Cas was distracted he grabbed his hand and pulled him down with him.
“No!” Cas’ scream was muffled when he hit the water. When his head shot up from
the water he was now glaring at Dean. “Are you serious? Now I’m soaking wet!”
“That’s what you get for laughing at me” Dean grinned smugly with so much
cockiness. He always got his revenge no matter what.
Cas rolled his eyes and splashed a big amount of water towards Dean. The alpha
growled in a playfully way and tackled Cas down to stop him from splashing
anymore water. He made sure Cas’ head wasn’t in the water. He didn’t want to
accidentally kill him by drowning him.
“Okay okay you win!” Cas clutched onto Dean’s shirt. His feet were on the
ground, and he was scared that he will fall back into the water.
Dean straighten Cas up and threw his arms up as he cheered in victory. “I
always get my revenge sweetheart.”
The omega chuckled and shook his head as he stared into his green eyes. Dean
stared right back at those innoncent baby blue eyes. He felt a hand on his
shoulder and barely noticed that Cas had gotten closer. He had been distracted
yet again with those eyes. Cas cupped his cheek with his other hand and leaned
in even more closer. Their eyes flutter shut as they felt their lips collide
with each other.
Dean had kissed other people many times, but he had to admit that kissing Cas
was way better than the other times. Meanwhile, for Cas, it was his first time
ever kissing someone.
It was perfect for the both of them.
***** Chapter 4 *****
Chapter Notes
     This is my first time writing out a fighting scene. I apologize if
     they’re not very good. Im still practicing. I’m just glad that my
     friend had time to proof read it haha.
The blade glistered in the moonlight as Dean twirled it in his hand. It was
dark where he stood. The only source of light was the moon. Of all the places
he could take action. It’s no wonder Cas calls him a silly alpha at times.
The thought of the little omega made him smile. For the past few days all
they’ve been sharing were light kisses and tender touches. Too afraid to go
further than that. Just until he could finish his mission, and that was
tonight.
When he wasn’t distracted, he would keep his eye on Vitali. Observing his every
move. Taking notes of every place he visited, and the people he talked to. It
wasn’t hard for him to lure Vitali into the woods. Less time to clean up, and
more time to take satisfaction at how his pathetic life drains out of his eyes.
Dean grasped the handle of his blade tightly when he heard a twig snap. He’s
here. He took the bait. He plastered his back against a tree and tried to take
a peek. He could see the silhouette of the teen pass by him. Dean followed
after him quietly. He could feel his heartbeat pick up as his gut twisted
violently. Something was wrong.
The figure walked through a bush and disappeared. The alpha cursed silently to
himself as he picked up his pace to go through the bushes where Vitali had
gone. He had walked into a big area, with a lot of space and more light
provided by the moon, but where was his target? He turned into a full circle as
his eyes darted everywhere. Then out of nowhere he was thrown into the ground
by someone.
“What the hell?” Dean landed on his back with a grunt. His arms were pinned to
the ground by the person who straddled him to keep him on the ground. He looked
up at the person who has him pinned down and glowered at her.
He didn’t know who she was, but she was definitely going to get killed by him
if she doesn’t get off of him. If looks could kill…
She got off of him and took a couple of steps back. She had her own blade in
her hand, ready to fight. Dean leaned his whole weight on his upper body and
kicked his legs up to jump onto his feet. Before he was ready she was already
charging at him, and he managed to dodge the attack just in time before she
sliced him. She was trying to kill him. He tried to pinpoint who she was, but
came up with nothing.
They circled around each other cautiously as they waited for someone to make a
move. She did first. This time she managed to make a big splash against his
cheek. Dean jumped back and hissed as he held a hand to his cheek. He could
feel the blood dripping. It only made him more angrier.
“You’re going to get it, you bitch!” Dean said through gritted teeth as he
walked closer to her. She looks smudged like she was proud of her artwork on
his face. He landed a punch on the square of her jaw, and she stumbled back
from the force of it. He caught a glance of the bruise that was already forming
on her face. It made him smirk.
The girl looked frustrated that she hadn’t yet killed him, Dean could tell.
With her confidence she threw her blade at him aiming right at his chest. He
dodged it just in time, but the blade did manage to cut right through his
bicep.
“Son of a bitch,” Dean grumbled as he covered the wound with his unoccupied
hand. She was unarmed. She had tried to kill him by throwing her only weapon.
Wrong move.
Dean retracted his hand and twirled the knife in his hand. She made a run for
her blade, but He was there before she could grab it. He kicked the knife out
of her reach and stabbed her in right in the abdominal area. He pulled out the
knife and watched her crumble to the ground as she lost large amounts of blood
in her a short period of time.
Dean stood there, panting heavily. He tensed up and turned around immediately
when he heard someone clapping behind him. It was Vitali.
“Wow, you’re better than I thought,” he observed like this was some sort of
game.
“You sent her to kill me?” Dean asked.
“Of course. I wanted to make sure, and I was right! Which is a very bad thing
because you just killed one of my father’s best assassins.” Vitali sighed
sadly. It made Dean scoffed as if this dude actually cared about that.
“Now I’m going to kill you.” Dean advanced towards him, but before he could do
anything Vitali put his hands up.
“I don’t think you would want to do that because if you do then you’ll lose
someone very dear to you.” Vitali smiled. At the look of Dean’s confusion his
smile widened into something murderous like he was going to enjoy this very
much. “Bring him” he called out.
Dean’s eyes darted towards the moving bushes. There he saw Cas being dragged by
a guy towards them. The omega had a gun to his head and tears streaming down
his face. He had a gun aimed towards his head by the man who has him captured.
Cas noticed him and his eyes lit up in hope. “Dean!” He sobbed.
Dean’s eyes widen in horror. How?
“You didn’t think I’d notice? I’m pretty sure everyone knew you two were
together, and it was the perfect solution!” Vitali clapped his hands together
and stared at Dean. He had won, and they both knew it.
All Dean could do was drop down to his knees and beg for mercy. Not for his
life but for Cas’. “Please! Don’t do this. You can torture me all you want, but
please just let Castiel go. He didn’t know! He was never in this.” He could
feel his eyes getting watery as the tears threaten to fall. He had promised he
would keep Castiel safe, but he broke it. He will never forgive himself if
anything bad happened to the omega.
Vitali acted like he was thinking about, but in reality he was enjoying this.
John Winchester’s son was on his knees begging for mercy of his beloved. If he
returned Dean to his father then maybe he could prove himself worthy of being
in the mob, but first, he’ll mess around with his toy before he hands him over
to his father.
“Let’s give this alpha a piece of his medicine shall we, Azazel?” Vitali turned
towards the man who nodded. He moved forward with Castiel and handed the omega
and gun to Vitali.
Azazel turned his attention towards Dean and walked closer to him. He grabbed a
handful of the dirty blonde hair and pulled back hard until the younger man was
looking up at him. “Hello Dean. Remember me?” He grinned.
Dean got a closer look at him. Those yellow eyes were unnatural to him. It took
him a couple of seconds to comprehend what he had been asked. “No.”
“Really? Well, you were a little boy when I showed up. I was the one who killed
your mother.” Azazel whispered quietly like it was a secret.
“That’s not possible. My dad killed him.” Dean glared.
“Do you really believe him?” Azazel asked and waited for him to answer. When
Dean stayed silent he chuckled. “That’s what I thought.”
He let go of Dean’s hair and punched him on the cheek that sent him tumbling to
the ground. Cas cried out as he tried to get away from Vitali’s strong grip.
This was torture for him. Seeing Dean getting beat up while he can’t do
anything to stop it.
“Your father killed my brother” He landed a kick on Dean’s stomach that left
the alpha groaning in pain and curling in on himself to protect himself from
the beating.
“I expected John himself to be after the mobster’s kid, but he sent you!”
Azazel threw his head back and laughed loudly. “You’re weak and pathetic!”
He grabbed Dean by the collar of his shirt and punched him several times until
he was left on the ground with a split lip and the cut on his cheek widening.
As Dean tried to get up Azazel pinned him down with his foot on his chest.
“Look at you! You’re just like your father. I’m going to have so much fun
killing your omega like how I killed your father’s.”
Dean wrapped his hands around Azazel’s ankle to try and pry it off of his
chest. He couldn’t do it. He was going to die in the middle of his woods. He
failed his mission. He failed his father. He failed Charlie. He failed Cas…
Dean turned his head to the side to stare at Cas who was practically shaking as
he cried for his alpha. He was being held back by Vitali who had a big smirk on
his face.
No, he wouldn’t let them win. He wouldn’t let Cas suffer because of him.
Dean looked back at Azazel and with his newfound strength he threw off the foot
that was on his chest. It took Azazel by surprise and stumbled to the ground.
Without wasting time, Dean was on him.
His blood was boiling from anger that filled him up with adrenaline. His eyes
glowed red as he glared down at his adversary with a threatening growl. He
grinned, his teeth all canines as he leaned down to bite at Azazel’s neck hard.
Dean could taste the blood as it flooded into his mouth. He pulled back with a
snarl and spat out the chunk of meat that had belonged to Azazel. The body
under him stopped moving. He’s dead now. His mother’s murderer is dead.
“Are you kidding me?! It looks like I have to do everything myself!” Vitali
huffed, frustrated. He let go of Castiel and headed towards Dean with his gun
raised.
Dean rolled onto his back with a groan. He didn’t have enough energy to fight
off Vitali. Especially with a gun aimed towards him.
“I think it’s better if I killed you instead. You’re a disgrace to this world!
To everything! Right after I kill you I’m g-ahh!” before Vitali could finish
his sentence he felt a sharp pain on his back. He cried out in pain as he
stumbled onto his knees. He had been stabbed.
Cas took out the knife from Vitali’s back and proceed to stab him multiple
times until the omega was sure he was dead. There was another person’s blood on
his hands, but he ignored it as he ran towards Dean. He wrapped his arms around
the alpha neck’s and nuzzled into his chest as he sobbed.
“I t-thought you were g-going to die!” Cas cried as he clutched onto the fabric
of Dean’s shirt.
“Shhh it’s okay,” Dean whispered as he grasped Cas back. He squeezed his eyes
shut as he held on. He almost lost him, and now he was safe again.
When Cas managed to calm down he pulled away from Dean and helped him up to his
feet. He curled his arm around Dean’s waist as Dean curled his arm around his
shoulders. With his other hand he gripped onto Dean’s hand and started to help
him walk out of the woods.
-
Cas dragged the alpha all the way to his empty house. His mother was out.
Probably at a bar looking for a hookup. It was like how he left it luckily. He
didn’t know how he could explain it to his mother if they had trashed the
place. The lock to the front door was broken from Azazel breaking into the
house to kidnap him. He shuddered at the memory. They headed down the hall to
his room and helped Dean sit on the bed.
“I’m going to go get the first aid kit.” Without waiting for a reply Cas left
his room to go fetch the item. He had hid it in the restroom just in case, if
his mother thought he deserved a beating. It was a good thing he bought a new
one. He didn’t think Dean would like going to the hospital after what he had
done.
Not to mention what he himself had done. He killed a man. Not just any man; his
bully. The one person in school who would not leave him alone no matter what.
Of course his friends followed suit, but it was always Vitali who did the
teasing.
Cas shook his head to get rid of the horrible thoughts creeping up onto the
surface. Dean needed his help to treat the wounds before they got infected. He
walked back to the room and sat down on the bed next to Dean who looked too
drained to even stay standing. Cas didn’t blame him at all. He opened the first
aid kit and reached out to grab Dean’s face gently.
“You don’t have to do this” Dean said, but he stayed put as Cas dabbed the wet
cotton ball on his split lip.
“I don’t, but I want to. Now let me work.” Once Cas was done and cleaned Dean’s
bloody face with a wet rag he commanded the alpha to take his shirt off to
check the bruises.
When Dean shed off the shirt Cas had to swallow his surprised gasp. There were
a couple of bruises and scars but Dean still looked handsome as always.
“Enjoying the view?” The bastard even smirked when Cas came back to reality.
The omega glared at him then huffed.
“You’re all beat up. You need to lay down and relax.” Cas put his hands on his
hips and looked at the alpha. Dean opened his mouth to complain, but Cas cut
him off. “We’ll talk about everything in the morning. My mother won’t be
returning anytime soon because she’ll be drunk out of her mind.”
Dean slumped his shoulders in defeat and sighed. It was a bit difficult to get
up from the bed since he just got beat up not even 20 minutes ago.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Cas raised an eyebrow and put a hand up to
stop Dean from moving again. He got a look of confusion in return.
“I assume you’ll sleep in your own bed. I’ll take the couch, or I can just
sleep on the ground.” Dean shrugged like it was no big deal for him.
“Like hell I’m going to let you sleep on a uncomfortable surface. We can share
the bed, or if you’re too awkward about that I can sleep on the couch. I just
want you to get better as soon as possible okay?”
Dean looked into Cas’ stubborn eyes and sighed. “Okay, we can share.” He laid
down on the bed and sighed in content as he felt himself relax. He was so lucky
to have Cas by his side because he knew for sure he wouldn’t take care of
himself. He usually didn’t.
Cas smiled softly. He took off his shoes and sweater before climbing onto the
bed and covering both their bodies with the big soft blanket he had to keep
them warm. He scoot over to get close to the alpha and sighed happily at the
warm and safe feeling that spreaded throughout his body when Dean wrapped an
arm around him possessively.
Dean’s eyes started to grow heavy as they laid there in silence. He tried to
fight sleep back because he wanted this secret moment to last before he had to
leave. He knew how hard it’ll be for him to leave Cas, but he had to because
the omega will always be in danger when Dean is near him.
He didn’t deserve this. He never did ever since he took a life. The law
enforcement will always chase him down and god forbid the most dangerous gangs
or mobsters out there. No, he won’t let Cas suffer because of how selfish Dean
is.
Dean opened his eyes and turned his head to look down at Cas who was sleeping
peacefully. He brought up a hand and tucked a strand of hair behind Cas’ ear.
He looked so beautiful and pure. Too good for the alpha. Too good for anyone
honestly he thought to himself.
He leaned down to place a gentle kiss on Cas’ forehead and almost broke when
the omega smiled in his sleep. He also snuggled closer into Dean’s warm
embrace.
They’ve only known each other for about two weeks now? Dean can’t even
remember. It all felt like a blur, but during that time he fell head over heels
for the little omega. The one who didn’t look at him any differently after the
event of today. He actually invited Dean inside his own house to treat his
wounds and made sure he had a place to stay to get better considering how he
didn’t have anymore money to pay for another night in the hotel. He didn’t
think he would stay for long.
Now his bags were in the car where he had slept last night. It was a tight fit
but it was the only place he could stay at. He didn’t want to ask Cas.
Why?
Because Dean doesn’t deserve him. He wasn’t supposed to get attached. He wasn’t
supposed to love of all things. His dad was living proof of that. Mary had died
because of his mistakes.
So no. Dean won’t let Cas die for his mistakes.
Dean sighed as he felt a headache forming from overthinking most likely. His
eyes flutter closed and he buried his face in the crook of Cas’ neck to scent
him. Oh how he’ll miss the smell of his omega. The scent lulled him to sleep
thankfully.
***** Chapter 5 *****
Chapter Notes
     I just wanted to wrap it up because I had writer's block, and instead
     I came up with a new fic idea. Thank you to the people who took the
     time to read my story!
The buzz of his phone is what woke Dean up. He reached into the pocket of his
jeans and pulled out his personal device. He squinted at the bright screen
before making out who was calling him. It was the middle of the night, and
Charlie was calling him. He quietly got out of the bed to not wake up Cas and
headed out of the room. His muscles felt sore, but at least they weren’t
screaming in pain anymore. He answered his cell phone before it had a chance to
go to voicemail.
 
“Hello?” Dean asked groggily, still trying to wake up. He rubbed a hand over
his face as he headed towards the living room of Cas’ house.
 
“Dean! Thank god. I thought you were dead” Charlie’s voice boomed loudly
against his ear. She must’ve heard about Vitali’s death already. That was fast.
 
“I’m sorry I didn’t check in with you. I got in a bit of a mix up here…” His
thoughts went back to the events that happened a couple of hours ago. He
usually called his friend to tell her that he was fine; alive and breathing. He
forgot to do that because he was distracted, yet again, by Cas.
 
Cas.
 
He sighed sadly and looked at the direction of Cas’ bedroom where the omega is
sleeping peacefully right now. He should leave now in case if he woke up. Dean
can’t bare to see the heartbreak in Cas’ expression when he leaves.
 
“You seem a bit sad about it…” Charlie trailed off, picking up on the sad sigh
from Dean.
 
“Oh. It’s nothing, really,” Dean said, shrugging even though she couldn’t see
him.
 
“Spill. I know something is wrong. I can tell by that tone of voice you have.”
 
Oh, how Charlie knew him so well just by the simple sound of sorrow in his
voice. It had been a struggle for him to be able to hide his emotions, but he
could barely hide them from Charlie. It’s like she has an emotion detector or
something.
 
“It’s Cas. I’m just upset that I’ll have to leave him.”
 
Charlie didn’t speak for a long while. Dean looked at his phone to be sure she
hadn’t hung up on him or something. The phone call was still going on, but he
couldn’t hear anything until…
 
“Dean Henry Winchester!”
 
Dean groaned, perhaps a little too loud for his liking. He glanced over at the
hallway to make sure he hadn’t woken Cas up. He did not like people using his
full name.
 
“How can you do that to your true mate!? And don’t tell me it’s ‘because it’s
for his own good’ or ‘because he’s in danger’. Those are just excuses! He’s an
omega! I’m sorry to say this but he’s never safe. That’s how society is,
unfortunately. You’re the one that’s supposed to protect him because you’re his
alpha! If you think I’m going to let you walk out of that house, you’re dead
wrong. For once in your life think about having a perfect life with a mate and
pups! I know you said it will never happen, but trust me, it will. Now, go back
to bed. I’ll call you in the morning. You’ll need your rest because once you
return, you’re going to tell John that you want out of this horrible life.”
Charlie exclaimed and rambled on only for the line to die right after.
 
Dean stood there in silence as Charlie’s words rang through his head. She
sounded so angry that it took him by surprise. She was always so happy and
cheerful.
 
He stared down at his phone until the screen turned off. He put the device back
in his pocket and walked back to the room. His eyes roamed the dark room for
his shirt so he can put it on and leave.
 
The movement on the bed made his eyes turn to it on reflex. Cas was lying on
his side still sleeping. There were stains of dried up tears on his cheeks from
earlier. It made Dean’s heart wrench and his gut twist in guilt. He couldn’t
leave him. It will only cause them both pain…
 
He crouched down to retrieve his discarded shirt from the floor. He clutched it
in his hand before looking back at Cas.
 
‘I can’t do this.’ Dean thought to himself as he put his shirt on the empty
chair in the room before climbing back into bed. Immediately, Cas snuggled
beside him in his sleep. The action made Dean smile like a lovesick fool. He
wraps his arms around the smaller boy best he could and pulled him even closer
until they were touching from head to toe. The alpha closed his eyes and sleep
pulled him under a couple of minutes after.
 
-
 
The next morning came way too fast for Dean. When he was waking up slowly the
first thing he registered was a very intoxicating scent that made his mouth
water instantly. Then, he noticed the surprisingly strong grip on his bicep and
soft whimpers in his ear.
 
He peeled his eyes open and looked down at Cas who was still sleeping, but he
didn’t look peaceful anymore. His face is scrunched up in pain and based on his
grip on Dean, it looked like it was unbearable. It took a few long minutes for
him to comprehend what’s happening. Cas was in heat.
 
The thought struck him like a truck. Dean shouldn’t be here. He didn’t want to
take advantage of Cas in this state. As quietly as he could, he tried to remove
himself from the omega’s tight grip.
 
Cas tightened his grip and opens his eyes to stare at Dean. He wraps his leg
around Dean and nuzzles into the crook of his neck.
 
“P-please don’t leave me. It hurts so much.” Cas gasped and dug his fingernails
into Dean’s skin.
 
The alpha could feel Cas’ hard member against his hip, and he tried, oh did he
try, to think about anything else but that. He’s only here to give him comfort
until the pain goes away.
 
“Shhh, it’s okay. I’m right here.” Dean runs his fingers through Cas’ sweaty
hair and places a kiss on the top of his forehead.
 
“Dean, please. I need your knot. I can’t take it.” Cas cried out silently. He
didn’t remember his heats being this intense. All he could think about at that
moment is alpha, Dean, knot, mate, DEAN.
 
“Cas, are you sure?” Dean whispered and looked into Cas’ eyes. He wanted to
make sure it isn’t the heat that’s talking that it’s really Cas. “I don’t want
to do anything just because of hormones and all that bull crap.”
 
“Yes! I’m sure. I promise you this isn’t the heat talking. If I didn’t want you
I would’ve handled this intense heat on my own, but I want you, Dean!” Cas’
pupils were dilated with lust just by looking at him. His expression looked
desperate as he started to hump against Dean for relief.
 
“Okay okay.” Dean breathed out. He flipped them so that Cas is on his back and
Dean on top of him. He made quick work of removing all their clothing.
 
Cas turned his attention to Dean’s cock and licked his lips. He spread his legs
so the alpha could fit himself between them. He wrapped his arms around Dean’s
neck and pulled him down for a sloppy kiss. The alpha kissed back just as
eagerly and slipped a hand in between them to feel Cas’ hole that was already
dripping with slick.
 
Cas broke the kiss to let out a loud moan as he threw his head back against the
pillow. He squeezed his eyes shut and panted heavily as he felt Dean’s fingers
start prepping his hole. They felt thicker than his own, and he loved it.
 
Dean pulled his fingers out and lifted them up to his lips to suck on. He
groaned as the sweet taste flooded his taste buds. “By the end of your heat,
I’m going to be drunk with your slick” he joked, making Cas blush furiously.
 
“Less talking. I want you to fuck me.” Cas huffed as he opened his eyes to
glare up at the alpha.
 
Dean smirked and chuckled under his breath. “Impatient aren’t we? I don’t blame
you though.” He leaned down to give Cas one more kiss before grabbing his cock
and pushing in slowly.
 
Cas gasped and gripped onto the sheets underneath him. “Dean!”
 
“Mmm...I love it when you scream my name” Dean whispered seductively as he
kissed Cas’ neck to calm him down. When he felt the boy underneath him relax he
pushed all the way in until he was buried balls deep.
 
“Jesus. You’re so big. It’s a miracle it fits.” Cas blurted out without
thinking. It made Dean burst out laughing as he tried to keep his balance. The
force of his laughter made his elbows buck. Almost making him crush the poor
omega.
 
“This is only the beginning baby.” Dean murmured as he circled his hips slowly.
He started at a slow pace so that Cas could get used to the feeling.
 
The sweet sounds that came out of Cas’ mouth made Dean’s inner alpha growl in
pride that he could pull those kind of sounds from his omega. He gripped Cas’
hips and shifted them a bit to pick up his pace. The new angle made him hit
Cas’ prostate which left the omega screaming in pleasure.
 
“Yes! Right there! It feels so good alpha” Cas moaned out as he dug his
fingernails into Dean’s back and left red scratch marks behind.
 
Dean panted heavily and leaned down to leave possessive marks on Cas’ neck. He
was so close now. He could feel his knot swelling from the tightness of Cas’
heat, and the sounds that he made drove the alpha insane. He started nipping at
the spot where he would leave the mating mark at. Cas tilted his head to the
side and whimpered as he also felt himself reach his peak of orgasm. Dean
slipped his hand in between Cas’ thighs and gripped onto his cock. His large
hand covered most of his cock, which made Cas flush in embarrassment.
 
“You have such a beautiful cock. I wonder if I can take the entire thing in my
mouth? We’ll have to test that theory next time,” Dean said as he smirked.
Before Cas could answer, the alpha started to stroke him along with his
thrusts.
 
“D-Dean, I’m going to cum.” Cas’ eyes started to water from all the pleasure
that he’s receiving from his alpha. A couple of strokes later, he tensed up and
came all over Dean’s hand and their stomachs with a loud moan.
 
When Cas squeezed around his cock Dean came with a surprised groan as his knot
slipped in, locking them together. He wasted no time in biting down on Cas’
shoulder. Leaving a mating mark behind. He pulled back and started to lap up
the blood that was flowing down onto the pillow. He flipped them to their sides
and looked at Cas lovingly who looked dazed and sleepy.
 
“Thank you,” Cas said silently as he blinked up at Dean lazily.
 
“You don’t have to thank me. It was my pleasure,” Dean winked and smiled. How
did he get so lucky? Being with Cas. He’s sure that nothing can wipe their
smiles off their faces. “Go to sleep I’ll watch over you until my knot goes
down, okay?”
 
Cas nodded as he tried to stifle a yawn. “Okay.” He pecked Dean’s lips, nuzzled
him, and fell asleep instantly.
 
-
 
The next time Cas woke up, he was alone. He frowned and stood up from the bed
that was now cold. Dean must’ve left a while ago, but where? He walked over to
his dresser to grab a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie to put on. He headed out
towards the hallway and looked through all the rooms.
 
“Dean?” He called out and held his breath as he tried to listen for anything.
When he didn’t hear anything, a thought struck him. What if Dean left him? Did
the alpha even want him anymore? Did he realize he made a mistake?
 
As more thoughts kept coming, Cas had to face his reality. Dean left him. He
knew what he was since Vitali had told him the truth. He didn’t notice the
tears until he felt his face grow wet. He wiped away the tears and plopped down
on the lumpy couch, but the tears kept coming. He cried silently. He couldn’t
breathe as all his emotions hit him.
 
He didn’t know how long he’d been there. It could’ve been hours, or just simply
minutes, but the next thing he heard was the door opening.‘Oh no,’ he thought .
His mother was home. She’s going to see him crying on the couch and tell him
how pathetic he was. She was going to beat him, he knew that since he smelled
of sex. He cried even harder.
 
“Hey, hey, hey. Cas? Are you okay? What’s wrong, sweetheart?”
 
Cas lowered his hands from his eyes to see Dean kneeling in front of him with a
concerned look on his face. The alpha reached forward and took his small hands
into his larger ones. “Did something happen?”
 
Without answering Cas peeled his hands away to throw his arms around Dean’s
neck and hug him tightly. “You didn’t leave..”
 
“Why would I? I only went to go buy some groceries, since you literally have no
food around here.”
 
Wow. Now Cas felt stupid. He pulled away from Dean and ducked his head to hide
the blush that was starting to form. “Oh. S-sorry. God, I’m so clingy,” he
huffed, angry at himself.
 
Dean merely smiled and kissed Cas’ forehead. “That’s okay. Just know that I’m
not leaving you, ever. Okay? Look at me Cas. Do you understand?”
 
Cas looked into Dean’s green eyes and nodded. He didn’t see a hint of lie. It
was all honestly. It made him happy again. “I understand.”
 
“Great! I’m going to make something. I’ll be in the kitchen.” Dean stood up
from the ground and headed towards the kitchen where he had set the bags full
of ingredients.
 
Dean didn’t leave him. He was still there. Making food for the both of them.
Cas sighed in relief and smiled at the fact of it all. He stood up from the
couch and entered the kitchen.
 
“I have a couple of questions.”
 
Dean turned around and smiled at Cas before nodding. “Sure. What’s up?”
 
“How did you become an assassin? Most importantly; why? You’re too good for
that.” Cas tilted his head and looked at Dean with curiosity. There was no
shame. He was just curious as to why Dean was involved in things like that.
 
He sighed and set the stuff down to turn his full attention to Cas. “I mean, I
didn’t have much of a choice really. My mom was murdered by a man, and my dad
spent all of his life hunting him down. Turned out he killed the wrong guy, so
that’s why the other guy from last night tried to kill me.”
 
It’s crazy how just last night he was about to die, but Cas saved his life. He
at least owned the boy that. He was special. He’s doesn’t deserve the life he
has now. An absent father, siblings, and an abusive mother. All Dean wants to
do is wrap him up with a big fluffy blanket and protect him from the cruel
world.
 
“My dad made an organization for young people to become assassins. For revenge
or just a desperate attempt at trying to help a dying family member. He trained
me ever since I could talk. He tried to train my little brother, Sam, but Bobby
wasn’t having any of it. It was too late for me, so I stayed and became the
person I am.” He looked down at the ground in shame, not knowing how Cas will
react.
 
“And even so, you became a wonderful man.” Cas smiled as he cupped Dean’s
cheeks to bring his face up and look him in the eyes. “Dean, whatever happened,
it’s not going to the change the fact that I love you.”
 
Dean’s eyes started to water at his confession. “I love you too” he whispered
and wrapped his arms around Cas’ waist to hold him. “So much.”
 
Cas smiled and closed his eyes to enjoy the little moment. He kissed Dean’s
forehead and pulled away. “Now, can you make something for us? I’m actually
pretty hungry.”
 
Dean chuckled and shook his head at how adorable his little omega was. “Of
course. Anything for you. I decided to make pie! It’s my favorite food, but I
also bought some snacks if you’re really hungry.”
 
“I’ll wait for the pie. I can’t wait to try it.” Cas sat down in an empty chair
and propped his chin in his hand as he watched Dean walk around the kitchen to
make a delicious apple pie. His favorite.
 
Even though their roles are reversed, having Dean in his kitchen made him
happy. He was just too tired to make anything. He knew how to cook since
cooking class is something mandatory for an omega to take. He just hoped one
day he’d be able to make something for Dean to enjoy.
 
“What are your favorite foods?” Cas asked before he can stop himself.
 
“Hmm, well, I like burgers, any kind of pie really, and definitely some
brownies” Dean hummed at the thought of it. He really loved food. They’re like
treasure for him to cherish at the moment.
 
“Oooh burgers are delicious” Cas nodded in agreement. It’s a good thing he knew
how to make some good burgers. According to the people who have tried them, and
himself of course. He would’ve weighed less if he cut down on the burgers, but
it’s a guilty pleasure.
 
“I’m glad you think so.” Dean threw one of his charming smiles over his
shoulder at Cas before going back to work on the pie.
 
The smile always made the omega melt. God, he’s so madly in love.
 
_
 
One year later.
 
Dean took out his keys from his pocket and unlocked the door to the new house
he had purchased a few weeks ago. He stepped inside and smiled when the scent
of his mate flooded his surroundings.
 
“Cas, I’m home!” He called out as he closed the door behind him.
 
Cas stood up from the couch and walked over to his alpha with their pup in his
hand. “Someone missed you.” He gestured towards the baby in his arms.
 
“Are you sure it was the pup who missed me?” Dean raised an eyebrow before
chuckling as he grabbed the baby from Cas. “Hey, Jack.” He whispered.
 
The pup opened his eyes showing the blue in them. He smiled when he spotted his
dad. The sight tugged at Dean’s heartstrings in a good way. The alpha smiled
back and reached out a hand to rub Jack’s cheek.
 
“We both missed you” Cas chuckled as he stood on his tippy toes to lay his head
on Dean’s shoulder.
 
“Don’t worry I missed you too.” Dean turned his head to give Cas a sweet kiss.
 
After they mated Dean managed to settle down after he talked with his father.
His old man had given him an out, and Dean was thankful for that. He
immediately started working and saved up to buy the house his little family is
staying at. Away from any danger.
