Hello everyone! I'm back. I realized that I can update a little bit more frequently because a lot of this has been written. I am excited to write a longer story for a new fandom. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Here we go.
Sam turned into his wolf form when he saw the patrol return with the enemy omega. He curled his nose when the scent of fear hit him.
John was growling as well.
Dean reached the meeting place's center and transformed. He leapt onto a large rock, the rock podium. This brought him above the others, only adding to his dominance. "Let him go."
Castiel was thrown roughly to his knees as soon as the alpha spoke that command. He looked around the large clearing. He saw the large estate behind Dean.
Dean growled for Castiel's attention. "Why did you cross that clearly marked border? I know it's a cliché question, but I really am curious."
"I told you, I was abused," Castiel replied quietly. "When Lucifer came at me a second time, I fled. I crossed the border because I knew he could not, would not follow me."
"Coward," Fate sneered.
Dean glared at her. "Do not judge him. You're not an omega. You wouldn't know what it's like to be beaten. Respect him." He stood up and jumped off the rock, heading towards the one in question. His gaze pierced into Castiel and the smaller man slowly bared his throat. "Well, we're going to have to send him back." He got up close to the man's bared neck and bared his teeth and growled.
Castiel suppressed a whine and tilted his chin further up, an obvious sign of extreme submission.
Dean seemed pleased with this and backed away. "I'll have Sam escort you back."
Castiel's fear started to emanate again.
Dean noticed and looked confused. "Calm down," he growled.
The omega whimpered.
"Are you really that scared of your pack?"
Castiel shook his head. "No, not of my pack. I'm more scared of Lucifer. He is to be mate. Gabriel bound me to him through the Law."
Dean realized that the Law was nothing to mess around with. "Well, I was never one to believe in the Law, or follow it at least…" The alpha really didn't know what to do. "What do you want?"
Castiel gulped. "I…I came here to also beg sanctuary."
Dean's confused look grew even more.
Some wolves growled their disapproval.
"Dad!" Dean called. His father came running.
"What is it, Alpha?" He sounded annoyed. He was expecting his son to make his own decisions around here. "You are in charge here. I can't do anything to help you."
The alpha male sighed. Turning back to Castiel, he asked, "How can we trust you? How do we know you aren't going to turn against us?"
"You can't trust me," Castiel said quietly. "That I need to earn. I don't know how to, though." He looked around again.
Some wolves had turned back into humans.
Dean waited patiently.
Castiel took a deep breath. "How can I earn a place in your pack?"
Growls erupted from the betas in wolf form.
"He's one of the Novak pack!" Fate roared.
"The Winchesters and the Novaks have been enemies for years!" Anna snarled.
Adam glared at his brother. "Dean…" he threatened.
The alpha howled, "Silence!" His green eyes scanned the area. "We can't go on living in suspicion of other packs. If he wants to earn his trust, let him. Give him a chance." He circled around Castiel. "And if he betrays us or we think he's up to something, we'll kill him."
John came out of the house. "It's dinner time."
The wolves transformed and made their way to the house, making sure to push violently passed the kneeling man on their way.
Dean passed him too. "I'll get you something to eat," he called over his shoulder.
"Thank you!" Castiel yelled back.

Gabriel stood upon his own rock in the meeting place, anger simply crackling around him.
Balthazar and Michael were both kneeling.
"What do you mean you couldn't find him?"
"I didn't say we couldn't find him. I said he's in a place where none of us can get to him, Alpha," Michael explained.
"The coward ran off into Winchester territory," Balthazar said with contempt. "He could be dead by now."
Gabriel shook his head. "I caught his fear scent not that long ago. He's still alive." The great wolf whined in sadness. "My little omega brother all alone, prisoner of another pack. He must be so scared."
Balthazar and Michael remained silent.
"Go," Gabriel cried suddenly. "Call him to the border and relay this message."
Once the message was understood, Balthazar raced off. When he came to the territory, he unleashed a deep, long, low howl.
Castiel was eating his venison when he heard the call. To others, it was just wolf. To him, it was Balthazar ordering him to come. He slowly snuck off and headed over. Once there, he transformed.
"Hello, Castiel."
"Balthazar," the black wolf growled. "What do you want?"
"Is wanting to see your brother a crime?"
Castiel's lips peeled back in a snarl. "Do not test me-"
Balthazar let out a low growl of displeasure, straightening up and flicking his ears forward.
Castiel backed up a bit and laid his ears back and submissively showed his throat to Balthazar.
"Has being away from your pack made you forget your place?" the beta asked. "Anyway, Gabriel wanted me to tell you that he wants you back." He paced in front of the other. "Says if you don't return, he will speak with Alpha Dean himself. If you still refuse, force will be used."
Dean growled as he stalked through the woods. That omega was giving information to the Novaks, he just knew it.
"I will give you six months to figure this out," Balthazar informed. "I smell an alpha coming." With that, he disappeared into the forest.
Castiel watched him leave. He knew this wasn't the greatest way to start off joining a pack.
"What are you doing?"
The omega whipped around to come face to face with the large greyish wolf that was Dean. He took a deep breath, ready to defend himself. "What do you mean?"
"Don't give met that!"
The growl sent Cass to his knees.
"You know what I mean."
"Balthazar called me. I came. He told me Gabriel wants me back."
Dean seemed to calm down. "You didn't give him any information?"
Castiel shook his head.
The anxiety and tension grew as Dean remained silent. His eyes pierced the omega, as if gazing into his soul. "Liar," he finally spat. He could have sworn he saw the other wilt slightly. "Why else would you come here? You dislike the Novak pack strong enough to flee, yet you come when they call?
"I wish to join your pack," Castiel said. "Do you think I would be stupid enough to sell you all out?"
Dean morphed into human again. "No…I don't think you're stupid. I feel like I can trust you." He turned around and soon headed back. "Don't break that trust," he called over his shoulder. Then, he simply transformed and melted into the shadows of the forest.
So I know Dean seems a bit quick to trust but emotions were running high and he saw reason. I hope you guys enjoyed. Please review. There will be some romance in the next chapter. I am loving this right now. This is FlamboyantLollipop signing off. Until next time!
