Chapter One
Third Person POV
Sam, Dean, and Cas pulled up to Bobby's house after a long night of ghost hunting. "I can't believe she tried to hit me over the head with an axe!" Dean complained, getting out of the Impala and wiping dried blood off his cheek. "I don't know, I thought it was kinda funny." Sam said, chuckling when Dean gave him a bad look.
"You alright, Cas?" Dean asked, looking at the Angel as he slid out of the back seat. Cas didn't say anything and looked around confused. "Something's not right." he said. Sam and Dean exchanged worried looks before running to the house. Bursting through the kitchen door, the brothers were more than surprised to see Bobby sitting in front of the couch in front an attractive young woman.
She was a rather short woman, only about 5' 2", and had beautiful wavy black hair that flowed down her back. Her eyes were a brilliant shade of...purple? "Who the hell are you?" Dean asked, stepping into the living room. "Now, Dean." she scolded, her voice thick in an English accent.
"Is that any way to great a lady?" she asked, smiling brightly and revealing pearly white teeth. "Something tells me you're not a lady." Dean retorted. The woman gave off a bell like laugh and then her eyes flickered behind the brothers. "Castiel." she said, her eyes softening when she looked at the Angel. Cas stood in the kitchen staring at the woman with wide eyes.
"Galteya." Cas answered, his voice nothing more than a whisper. "Wait, you know her?" Sam asked, turning around to look at Cas. Cas nodded his head once and stepped forward. "What're you doing here? How did you find us?" Cas asked, stopping next to Dean. "I was worried about you. I hadn't seen you in months and then I hear from Zachariah that you'd died, miraculously came back to life, and went rogue." she said concerned, sitting up straighter.
"Boys, I think we should give these two sometime alone." Bobby said, speaking up for the first time. Sam was about to follow Bobby out when Dean stopped them. "No. We're staying here and finding out who the hell she is." he said, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at the woman on the couch.
Bobby was about to argue with Dean when she stood up and dismissed Bobby with a flick of her wrist. "That's fine, Mr. Singer." she said, giving him a small smile and turning to Dean. "My name is Galteya." she said, her voice becoming more authorative just by saying her name. Dean glanced at Cas then back at Galteya.
"I'm guessing you're an Angel." he said. Galteya laughed and clasped her hands behind her back. "I'm an Archangel, Dean. The youngest out of the four, but still an Archangel nonetheless." she explained, grinning a little as she spoke. Dean scoffed a little and glanced at Sam who shrugged his shoulders. "How'd you find us? I thought Cas'd made us invisible to 'Big Brother'?" he asked, turning back to the new Angel.
"He did make you invisible to us, but I was still able to locate Castiel, in turn locating you." she answered like she was talking to a child, which caused a small smile to tug at the corners of Cas' mouth. Dean threw a glare at him before walking up to Galteya and looking down at her with his arms still crossed. "Then why aren't you spouting how I should 'play my role' and 'say yes to Michael'?"
Galteya's eyebrows furrowed as she looked up at Dean. "Because I'm not here for you, Dean. I'm here for Cas. I like that. I'd never thought of having a nickname for you. It seems fitting." she finished, looking over at Cas and smiling. To everyone's surprise, besides Galteya for some reason, was surprised when Cas smiled back to the other Angel.
"Alright, what the hells going on with you two?" Dean asked, stepping away from the Archangel like she was freaking him out. Galteya chuckled and walked over to Cas, placing a hand on his. "Castiel is," she started and then stopped to think over her next words. "In human terms, he is my husband." she finished, looking up at Cas with a loving smile.
"You've got to be kidding me." Bobby said, while the other two's jaws dropped. "What the hell, Cas? I thought you said you'd never been with anyone and now I find out you've gone further than I've ever been willing to go." Dean said surprised, putting his hands in his pockets.
"My apologies, Dean, but I had to lie. We don't normally reveal who are mate is unless it's necessary." Cas explained. The room was quiet for a moment before Sam spoke up. "I thought all Angels were related, like brothers and sisters."
Galteya raised an eyebrow and grinned. "Angels don't have a specific gender, but yes. We're all related. Unlike humans, though, we don't have the same kind of relationships that human siblings do. Cas and I aren't the only ones who are mated, but we are the only ones who are frowned upon for it." she explained, sounding disappointed at the last statement.
Sam and Dean exchanged glances when Bobby spoke up. "Why're you two frowned upon for being together?" he asked, his voice confused and curious at the same time. "I'm an Archangel and Castiel is an Angel of the Lord. By our laws, I out rank him and my brothers don't like the fact that I've mated with an Angel of lower rank." Galteya explained.
