Seth stays with Dean and Roman for over 3 months while he heals. They reform their brotherhood stronger than ever. It's just a brotherhood though as Seth was still claimed by Dolph. Dolph never broke the mating but didn't try to talk to Seth. Seth accepts and is silently mourning that he will never be able to have a mate of his own. He sees how Roman is with Dean and it breaks his heart. But There is nothing though Seth can do or them.
Finally when Seth was healthy enough to come back to the wwe, he accompanies Roman and Dean to find out his contact status as he wasn't fired but he isn't a part of the authority anymore. He follows Roman closely as they enter the arena, using Roman as a shield mentally. Seth looks around the arena as they move through it and knows he has an up hill climb. Everyone is staring at him and he still has alot of sin to atone for but he knows he will do it.
Seth sits in Roman and dean's locker room watching Raw quietly. He hasn't watched it since he was off. Randy came back and took the place of a Authorities Golden boy. Seth then feels a tingling on his neck and then looks up hearing Dolph's voice as he walk by the locker room. Seth closes his eyes and just wants to hide. He though shakes his head and looks down thinking to himself. Dean catches on though.
Dean looks at Seth. He knows the younger man as much as he doesn't say is still torn up over Dolph taking everything from him. Then there was the fact that every time when Seth thinks no one is looking he looks like he is in pain. Dean had heard that omegas that where separated from Alpha's sometimes would die. He had thought it was a wives tale though. He was starting to wonder with Seth and the way he was acting.
Dean thinks and then looks up when Roman gets ready to enter the ring. Dean cocks his head and then leaves the locker room and heads through the hallways. He finds Cena's locker room and knocks. He raises his eyebrow as Dolph answers. He knew John and Dolph where still friends and this is where he would find Dolph.
Dolph looked like crap. His eyes had bags under them and his normal tanned skin looks pale.
Dean shrugs though not caring, "I want you to break the mark."
Dolph sighs and looks at him, "I tried.. I can't.."
Dean eyes Dolph trying to remain calm, "what do you mean?"
Dolph mumbles, "I took the pills Dean.. the mark didn't break."
Dean grabs Dolph by the hair and drags him to Roman's locker room and throws him on the floor. Seth yelps when Dolph falls at his feet and Roman stands to avoid a lap full of Dolph. Both of them look at Dean and say, "Dean?"
Dean snarls, "He is saying he tried to break the mark.. He is saying that he can't break it."
Seth looks down at Dolph and cocks his head, "what.."
Dolph kneels on the cold concrete, "I TRIED ok.. I fucking took the pills. John won't lie for me and he saw me take them. The mark didn't break."
Dean slumps into a chair and looks at Seth. Seth closes his eyes and whispers, "oh."
Roman wants more than anything to beat the crap out of Dolph and then leave his body for someone to find.
Dolph looks at Seth and then whispers, "I'm sorry Seth."
Seth looks at him and then shrugs, "Hey I got your fired.. and continued to challenge you in the ring. I deserve to for the rest of my life to never be allowed to mate someone right? I mean that's fair."
Dolph winces hearing the pain and his own knowledge that he was ashamed of what he did. Dean starts pacing, getting highly agitated. Seth closes his eyes and then turns and leaves the locker room. Roman advances and his eyes go almost black in anger. He looks down at Dolph and grabs him by the hair.
Roman leans down and hisses in Dolph's face, "you will make this right.. Or I don't care about law or right and wrong. I will kill you."
Dolph looks at Roman and whispers, "I'm going to make this right and if I can't make this right.. I'll let you kill me."
Dean snarls at the bleach blond and then Dolph pulls free and walks out.
Seth sits on one of the set boxes holding his head. Dolph walks over and lays his hands on Seth's thighs. Seth's head snaps up and he looks at Dolph, with tears in his eyes. Dolph's hand comes up and cups Seth's cheek, wiping them away, "We're in this together Seth."
Seth eyes harden and before Dolph can breathe his fist connects with Dolph's face and Dolph falls back. Seth leaps on him and starts throwing punches wildly at him. Dolph lets Seth hit him a couple of times before he catches Seth's fists and then rolls them. He pins Seth on his back with his hands above his head. Seth struggles and growls. Dolph growls and uses his free hand to push on the mating mark and uses his alpha voice, "ENOUGH little one."
Seth shakes as all the anger just drains out of him in one wave and he lays limply under Dolph. Dolph gently massages the mark trying to keep Seth calm and listening. Seth shakes and looks up at Dolph with tears in his eyes. Dolph whispers, "I'm going to fix this.. Something in us.. is keeping us together. I will.. Fix this Seth."
Seth whispers softly, "I'll never forgive you."
Dolph smiles softly down at him, "I'll never forgive myself but I'm going to fix this. I'm not going to leave you alone to face this."
Seth looks at him and tugs on his hands trying to hide his face. Dolph lets his hands go and then gently pulls Seth against his chest and holds onto him tightly, Dolph also presses his own face into Seth's neck, letting Seth sob it out. Dolph whispers though softly, "Let me fix this. Let me be the way I should have been when I did this Seth. You are my omega and I'm your alpha."
