In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…

That had been what Rosalie had heard and had known her entire life. As an angel, she had known this her whole life…

Along with the heavens and the earth he created angel mates. This was the one thing Rosalie slightly had a problem with. Angel mates were predetermined and the angels had no choice in the matter. Whoever you mate was that was who you were with and you didn't have eyes for another.

For Rosalie, it was Gabriel. She didn't remember when the day she found out Gabriel was to be her mate, lover, protector, whatever else was to be included in that grouping. At first, she was beyond happy. Rosalie never thought she would be paired with one of the archangels so when it happened it was clearly shocking. She had high hopes of how their relationship would be but that rug was ripped right out from under her.

Gabriel cared next to nothing about her. Sure he was good to her at points and for the most part kept her with him. He only seemed interested in her when it came to sex. Rosalie wouldn't even consider it making love. Gabriel barley seemed to even care about her needs or wants.

Things slightly improved when Rosalie confronted him and threatened to take things to Michael. The look of shock and slight paranoia on Gabriel's handsome face let Rosalie knew she had struck a chord with him. The last thing Gabriel wanted was to tangle with his older "holier than thou" brother. He didn't want some lecture from Michael about how mates were supposed to be treated. Rosalie knew the less Gabriel had to deal with Michael in a negative manor the better things were.

After that Gabriel seemed to become a better lover. He seemed to see Rosalie more seriously. She wasn't some girl that just trailed after him or some responsibility that he couldn't get rid of. He actually smiled when talking to her now. Gabriel would snuggle his face in her neck breathing in her scent before pulling her to some unknown corner of heaven to make love to her.

Although Gabriel infuriated her at points she was thankful that he was the archangel that she got. Michael was too serious, Raphael was a mini Michael, and Lucifer was just difficult (although he did seem to favor Rosalie). At least Gabriel made her smile with his pranks and sassy attitude. After the confrontation he made her feel valued. They hadn't fully bonded with the bonding ceremony but that was okay for the moment.

The good ended with a bang though….as most things with Gabriel seemed to. It started with Michael and Lucifer's epic fighting. Rosalie knew it bothered Gabriel beyond all reason. He never liked the fighting. Rosalie could see the pain in his honey eyes when his brothers would start fighting about anything and everything. They would half the time pull Raphael into it which crushed Gabriel even more. When the voice of reason would start in things were going straight to shit. On the few occasions Gabriel did enter of the shouting matches it ended up with Gabriel siding with Lucifer and getting so angry he just stormed off.

The day things changed would be forever etched into Rosalie's mind. It was the day Lucifer fell from heaven. All of the angels were shocked. Shocked wasn't even the appropriate word. Rosalie had been standing beside Gabriel when the truth came out. Michael had been going on a tirade about Lucifer's betrayal of heaven. Raphael had stood at his side looking beyond furious but said nothing. Rosalie's heart was breaking that they weren't even taking their little brother's feelings into consideration at the moment. They didn't see the pain in his eyes.

Gabriel stood a few moments listening to Michael before letting go of Rosalie's hand. Rosalie quickly turned to go after him to in hope comfort him somehow. Gabriel looked back at her shaking his head.

"Leave me alone Rose."

He said coldly before walking off this time never to return….

Rosalie pulled her mind from the worst memories of her life. Flash forward a few millennia later she still hadn't seen her lover since the day he ducked out of heaven. Rosalie tried to push the negative thoughts from her mind. She didn't want to think about Gabriel abandoning her but the whiskey she was downing wasn't helping.

She had remained in heaven until well after God left and Michael took over. She tried to live in peace with Michael as a leader but he ended up being straight nuts. After taking more than she could handle she let herself fall too not to return. She wouldn't go back to heaven.

Flash forward a 200 years, Rosalie had learned enough about the humans to be able to blend in. She had settled in Alaska liking the snow and the cold. The idea of being alone at first but she had soon accepted it. If Gabriel had loved her then he would have taken her with him.

"I was a game."

That was what Rosalie had come to accept. Mates didn't leave each other behind and they sure as hell didn't just disappear without a damn goodbye. She was just another game to the archangel and that was that.

Rosalie didn't and wouldn't admit that she was still in love with Gabriel. She wouldn't admit that she missed him and had spent the better part of 100 years looking for him only to find nothing. There was not one trace of the archangel anywhere. If they had bonded then she would have had no issue finding him. Rosalie realized why he hadn't bonded with her. It was to keep him untraceable even from her. Gabriel probably had every intention of leaving her at some point so why bond when he would be able to be found?

Shaking her head Rosalie put the whiskey down angrily. She didn't need to be sitting here thinking about Gabriel. He was the last thing that needed to be on her mind. Why worry about something that was gone?

Rosalie's violet eyes rolled up to look around the room at the humans in the room. They were all so carefree and beautiful. Her eyes stopped on a pair that had walked into the bar. A face she knew had had walked in…Castiel! Rosalie felt a smile forming on her face. One of the angels she missed more than anyone in the world was feet away. She smiled at his trench coat. That was so like Cas. His blue eyes rolled up meeting hers in an instant. Cas stood motionless starring at her before leaving the male companion with green eyes. Rosalie slid off the bar stool and followed Cas' lead until they were feet apart.

He tiled his head to the side looking at her.

"Rosalie."

She smiled before quickly wrapping her arms around the angels shoulders. Cas stood motionless for a moment before hugging her back.

"We have been looking everywhere for you!"

Cas squeaked out as he hugged Rosalie. He took in her appearance with a smile. She was completely different from the last time he had seen her. Her once brown hair was now lavender making her violet eyes stand out. Cas sighed breathing in her soft floral scent. It was almost heaven seeing her again. Cas had been devastated when Rosalie left heaven.

It had been Rosalie and Gabriel that had cared for him a lot in his youth. When Gabriel left it was bad but when Rosalie said she that she was leaving it was heart breaking for Cas.

"Why?"

Rosalie asked softly. Cas motioned to his friend.

"That's Dean Winchester."

Rosalie glanced over at the rather good looking man with striking green eyes. He gave her a grin and waved. Rosalie smiled back.

"Like the Dean Winchester?"

Cas nodded.

"Yes. I'm sure you have heard about what is going down in heaven."

Rosalie pressed her lips together.

"I've heard stories."

Cas sighed tugging on his trench coat sleeve.

"They are true."

Rosalie swore under her breath as she looked back to Dean Winchester.

"So these are the boys? Wait were is the other one?"

Cas chuckled.

"He's parking the car. Look Rose, I came to find you because we need all of the help we can get. If Michael is ramping up for a battle with Lucifer we need all hands on deck."

Rosalie didn't want to go back to her old life as an angel. She didn't want to fight her family. That was the last thing she wanted to do. Now here was Cas, an angel she loved so much, asking for her help and actually needing her. She knew she couldn't turn him down.

"I'll do whatever you need Castiel. Where is Zoe?"

Cas looked down at his shoes. He didn't want to think about his poor dead mate. The nights he had spent in tears after her death were still too close for comfort. Her death was still too raw in his mind.

"She's dead. Raphael killed her."

Cas finally looked up at Rosalie who looked beyond horrified and in that moment Cas wished he had told her differently. Rosalie and Zoe were best friends. When Cas thought best friends he thought of the times that Zoe wanted to murder Gabriel for the pain he had caused Rosalie. Zoe had been protective of Rosalie from day 1. Everyone was protective of Rosalie. While she had that fiery temper and wasn't afraid to make her opinion known she was also innocent.

Rosalie felt the hot tears falling down her cheeks as Cas reached out awkwardly petting her arm.

"Oh Cas I'm so sorry…I…."

He shook his head.

"Another time. I do better not thinking about it."

Rosalie nodded sadly. Her night had gone from okay, to happy, to shitty in 2 minutes. Cas' cool hands were tilting her face to look at his.

"She loved you as do I. You don't have to be alone anymore."

Rosalie nodded smiling.

"Have you found Gabriel?"

"Yeah we found that son of a bitch."

Rosalie looked up as Dean walked over cutting Cas off from responding. Rosalie focused her attention on Dean.

"Where?"

Dean shrugged.

"At the moment I have no clue but he's probably off picking on some mother fucker as we speak."

Cas winced knowing this wasn't the best way for Rose to find out about Gabriel but oh well…Rosalie looked at Dean carefully.

"What are you talking about Dean Winchester?"

Rosalie asked trying to keep her voice from trembling and was also ignoring the fact Dean was totally checking her out.

"You don't know?"

Cas shook his head.

"Dean, I told you this isn't the way for her to find out."

Rosalie was annoyed at this point.

"Find out what? If it concerns my mate who abandoned me I deserve to know. He sure as hell doesn't seem to give a damn."

Cas sighed.

"Well…He's kind of a trickster now."

Rosalie rolled her eyes.

"So he's impersonating a demigod? Why does this not surprise me? No wonder I couldn't find him. He was probably right under my nose the whole time."

Dean smirked.

"With all due respect you are not missing a damn thing. He thought it was funny to keep on killing me."

"Sounds like Gabriel."

Rosalie replied softly. Dean looked a little freaked out for a moment.

"Please tell me that you don't have his sick sense of humor?"

Rosalie shook her head.

"Please…I have better things to do than to be icing you over and over."

1 hour later…

Rosalie had sat quietly listening to Sam and Dean tell the story of Lucifer being let out of the cage, Michael going even more nuts, and Raphael going straight bat shit crazy.

"So we can really use all of the help we can get."

Sam said softly. Rosalie was clearly thinking things over. Her violet eyes went around the room as Dean looked at her.

"If you care about humanity at all you'll help. I get you've been wronged but we aren't a bunch of archangel dick's and we won't hurt. Cas would you stop smelling her hair?!"

Cas straightened up.

"It's nice."

He replied in his gravely voice. Rosalie smiled squeezing his hand.

"Sure. I'll help. Anything will be better than being alone. Also I would love to get a shot of two in on Michael and Raphael."

Arriving back at the bunker the next day, everyone was more than ready to be back from the airport.

"So why Alaska?"

Sam asked as they walked in. Rosalie giggled watching Sam as he pulled out a tube of chapstick in hopes to heal his poor lips.

"I enjoy the cold."

Rosalie replied as she stood on her tiptoes pressing her finger to Sam's lips healing them. Since the previous night Rosalie had grown attached to Sam.

"Yeah you have few screws loose there angel may."

Dean said with a smirk as he put his bag down. He turned going to find a snack but yelled when he realized Gabriel was sitting at the table looking a little more pissy than normal.

"What the hell man? Do you just like to sneak up on people and scare them to death?!

Dean hissed as Cas and Rosalie ran into the room expecting to see some monster that needed to be killed. Rosalie froze by the door. Gabriel quickly stood seeing his mate just feet away.

"Rosalie."

Rosalie hated that her heart pounded with want when he said her name. In the millennia had been apart nothing had clearly changed. He was still honey eyed Gabriel. She didn't say a word as he walked to her. The moment he reached out to touch her face Rosalie stepped back ignoring the look of shock on his face.

"DO. NOT. TOUCH. ME."

Rosalie said calmly. Gabriel looked confused.

"Sugar I thought that you would be happy to see me."

Rosalie raised an eyebrow.

"Why would I be happy to see you? You abandoned me. You're stupid to think I would want to be within three feet of you."

Gabriel winced.

"Eh…still salty about that huh?"

Rosalie looked even more angry. He really was an arrogant bastard!

"What the hell do you think?"

Gabriel blinked innocently.

"I was hoping to get you back. You know us being mates and all…"

Rosalie laughed cold making sure to avoid Gabriel's golden eyes. If she stare too long she would be right in his arms.

"Mates mean nothing to you. I mean nothing to you. If I meant something to you then you would have take me with you when you ran away. Don't touch me Gabriel. You can't hurt me again. I lost everything and it won't happen again."

Gabriel looked down.

"You were safe in heaven."

"Bull shit! You left me with your crazy brother's knowing how they were. Like I said Gabriel if I meant something to you things would have been different. I was some sex toy to you. I know everything you have been doing down here. I've heard all about it. Kali…the other whores….If I meant a damn to you then no other woman would have touched you. Don't try me. I'm not some delicate little angel that you used to be able to kick around. I've changed."

She looked back to Cas and the Winchester's who looked beyond uncomfortable. At first she thought maybe they had tricked her but the look on Cas' face told her they were innocent.

"I'm going for a bath. I smell like an airport."

She turned without another word to Gabriel making a mental note that if he started sticking around she was going to have to grow some thicker skin….
