"What's wrong?" Dean asked as he entered the Novak compound.

He just got a call from Michael Novak that something was wrong with Cas and for him to come over immediately. Dean rushed as fast as he could. Of course he did, Cas was his best friend. Plus it must've been really been bad if he was at the Novak compound instead of somewhere else.

"Thank god you're here Dean- his mate just left him." Michael replied, running a hand through his hair as the stress built up in the air.

"What!? How could he just leave him?" Dean blurted, completely shocked.

This abrupt break-up didn't happen that often, as werewolves mated for life. The only time that a mated pair broke was death which obviously wasn't the case here. Dean just saw Balthazar, Cas's former mate walking around normally a couple of hours ago.

"Apparently he just got bored of Cas." Gabriel, his brother's mate and member of the Novak pack replied.

"That doesn't make any sense. Cas isn't some doll that you can't just abandon." Dean exasperated.

"Wow, you must be really upset because you're not threatening me." Gabriel said with a smirk.

At the moment Dean wanted to kill Gabriel right then and there. How could he make smile when Cas, his brother, was in pain in that moment? Could he ever be serious? God- how could his brother stand him? Speaking of his brother, he should probably ask Gabriel if he could see him before he left, since omegas lived with their alpha's after they were mated. Asking to visit an Alpha's mate was just a common courtesy even if the person asking was related to them.

"Gabriel, maybe now isn't a good time to make a joke. Why don't you see how Sam is?" Michael suggested.

"Fine, fine. I can take a hint. I better see how that big moose is doing anyways." Gabriel said as he started to leave.

"Wait Gabriel could I see Sam before I go?"

"Of course Dean- I think Sam would kill me if ever said that." Gabriel replied as he went to check in on Sam.

"Why did you call me over here anyways?" Dean asked Michael and Lucifer after Gabriel left the room.

"Because your Cas's best friend." Michael said nonchalantly.

"Yeah, but you guys are his brothers..."

"So? He probably doesn't want to see us. It helps that you're unrelated and you're an Alpha." Lucifer pointed out, shrugging.

"So is Gabriel." Dean said, starting to realize why they called over here.

"Family members can't dominate other family members the way non family members can. You get the point."

"C'mon man, dominating Cas? ... That would just be weird. Plus, are you sure that's really a great idea?"

"Dean, you don't understand." Michael's tone was full of worry, "When an Alpha leaves an Omega, the Omega needs orders or else the Omega gets really depressed. It can get worse and worse over time- and we don't want to see Cas go through that kind of regression."

"Can't you find somebody else to be Cas's replacement Alpha?" Dean said, scratching his head and feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"C'mon just do it for Cas. It doesn't have to be anything sexual or anything like that. Just give him basic orders like 'eat' or 'get dressed'- 'take a shower' or something like that. Anything that can ease him off of his mate's refusal to be with him." Lucifer noted.

"Okay fine... This is all types of weird." Dean grunts, "But I'll do it for Cas- and him only."

"He's in his room. You still know which one it is right?" Lucifer asked.

"Yeah I still remember." Dean replied.

"Well good luck." Michael concluded as he and Lucifer left.

As Dean made his way to Cas's room, he tried to prepare for what he was going to see. He didn't think he could handle a broken Cas, and the thought of it scares him as he continues forward. Cas has always been strong, which must've been hard considering he was Omega. Omegas are fragile beings that break easily- but not Cas. That's what Dean admired the most about him.

He came across Cas' door, knocking lightly on it. He didn't hear Cas say anything, so he opened the door into Cas' room and steeled himself. When he came in he was shocked to see what he saw. Cas was on the floor of his room leaning up against his bed, not even noticing Dean as he entered. He wasn't crying or anything like that- he just looked utterly defeated. God, Dean maybe could've handled it if Cas was crying but seeing him looked so crushed made him feel even worse than he initially expected.

"Cas?"

"Go away, Gabriel." Cas muttered slowly and softly

"Cas, it's me, Dean."

"Dean?" Cas quipped, voice soft as he turned around to face him.

God, if Dean thought Cas looked defeated before when he was looking away- he was wrong. Cas' face just looked completely tense and a little bit lost- since he was probably feeling completely rejected at the moment.

"Yeah Cas. It's me, Dean." He said slowly walking over to where Cas was.

"He left me, Dean. He just… left." Cas says, barely any weight to his words- as if they didn't matter.

"Yeah I know." Dean sits down next to Cas, eyeing him closely as he fidgets a little on the mattress.

"He left me."

"Cas-"

"How could he do that?" Cas blurted, head whipping Dean's direction with turmoil rampaging through his eyes, voice barely cracking at the end of his sentence with his overwhelming insecurity.

"I have no idea..."

"He left me Dean... He left me."

After Cas said that, he completely broke down. He started sobbing on Dean's shoulder repeating 'he left me' over and over again. Dean did the only he could do- which was just stroke Cas' hair and mutter 'it's okay, it's okay' like a broken record. After a while, Cas stopped crying and leaned against the side of his bed, eyes puffy and small little huffs coming from him as he calmed himself a little.

"Uhm...Cas?"

"Yes?"

"So- ... your brothers called me over for a reason."

"Yeah I figured."

"Do you know why they called me over?"

"Not really..." Cas admitted, "Why did they?"

"They called me over because- eh… they were worried about you and wanted me to be your replacement alpha."

"You would be my replacement alpha?"

"Don't worry, It would just be simple stuff like getting dressed and taking a shower. Things like that." Dean rushed to explain.

"Okay." Cas agrees.

"Okay?" Dean said, kind of confused that Cas agreed so quickly to the arrangement.

"Dean- I need orders. My body craves it. Besides, who better to be my temp Alpha then my best friend?"

"Alright then, if you're sure. I'll start being your temp Alpha tomorrow." Dean concludes.

"Tomorrow?" Cas asked, sounding a little disappointed.

"Yeah- tonight you're going to write up a list of things you like, things you don't, and a safeword. Okay?"

"Okay."

"I'll see you tomorrow okay Cas?"

"Yes Dean."

"Bye." Dean said as he exited the room.

"Bye." He heard Cas call.

Dean decided to go check on his brother Sam before he left. Gabriel, Sam's mate said it was okay. Thank God, Sam and Gabriel's room were close to Cas's room. He went over to Sam's room. The door was open and he could hear Gabriel consoling Sam saying things like "Everything's going to be alright Samsquatch. I'm not going to leave you." Things like that. While Sam saying stupid things like "Yes you are." and "I'm not good enough for you." Dean knocked on the door.

"Who's there?" Gabriel asked.

"It's me, Dean."

"Come in."

Dean entered Sam's room. He saw Sam sitting on the bed with tear stains on his face. Without thinking Dean went to the bed and asked "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Sam replied

"That's bullshit and you know it. Now tell me what's wrong."

"Well I'll just leave unless you want me to stay." Gabriel said near the bed.

"No you can go sir."

"Okay, I'll be back." Gabriel said as he kissed Sam on the forehead.

"So you heard about what's going on with Cas?" Dean asked

"Yeah, It kind of messed me up a bit."

"Right." Dean said. Sam had abdomen issues ever since their dad left them. It made sense that something like that could upset him.

"You know that Gabriel loves you right?"

"Yeah I know." Sam said shifting uncomfortably. "So are you Cas's new alpha?"

"Temp Alpha." Dean corrected.

"So I'll guess you see you around more." Sam said happily.

"Yeah you will." Dean said "I gotta go. Gotta get a full night's rest for Cas tomorrow."

"Right see ya." Dean said exiting the room.

"See ya." Sam called

Dean left the Novak compound and left his own compound waiting for tomorrow when Cas would be his temp omega. God, this was going to be so weird.
