Thank you everyone for the faves/follows/reviews...they make my day!
We get to meet some...interesting new characers this chapter...enjoy!
Castiel picked at the fraying edges of his sweater as he watched his siblings load up the cars. Heaving a sigh he knew there was a huge pout on his face but for the life of him he couldn't get rid of it. They would be leaving very soon, he and Keelie had to be at school in a few hours and it was making his stomach churn. The wolf inside was roiling and being even more irritable at the idea of leaving without his Chroi.
The last day of the full moon had been a peaceful one...everyone was together in the circle and content. Hardly anyone went out running. Everyone took their time talking and catching up, especially with the Novaks. Cas was touched with how many people were proud that he was now Dean's official Chroi. One of the younger girls had even made him a crown of flowers...Dean teased and made his skin go scarlet but he wore it none the less. Now it was sitting on Dean's desk...what he was going to do with it he had no idea...he kinda hoped he'd keep it.
He felt a warmth spread through his skin and he sighed softly, his head tilting to the side just as lips brushed along his neck, moving up to kiss behind his ear.
"I don't want you to leave," Dean whispered. Cas swallowed hard and leaned back against him, strong calloused hands brushed down his chest as the lips continued to kiss his neck.
"I don't either...but I have too," Cas mumbled. Dean let out a groan before plopping down to sit next to him. He looked up into bright green eyes and couldn't help the smile breaking out on his face.
"I know...I can still whine about it though," Dean pouted and Cas chuckled, reaching up to kiss the jutted out bottom lip. A hand grasped the back of his neck to keep him there as Dean's lips pressed against his mouth. Cas melted into it and pressed his whole body into Dean's, his hands making their way to wrap around his neck.
"When can I see you again?" Dean asked pulling away just slightly.
"Whenever you want...just...soon...please?" Cas felt his cheeks burn but Dean just smiled at him with adoration, his thumb tracing his cheek bone.
"Of course...I just don't want to interrupt your studies is all...Cas...I don't know what you've got planned after school but...I want you to come live with me... after you graduate," Dean said. Cas beamed up at him and his body flushed with excitement, the wolf inside wanting to burst out.
"I'd love that...can...can Keelie come too?" Cas bit his lip and Dean smiled, leaning in to kiss him.
"Cas...even though we're mated...there's no way in hell i'd try to pry you two apart...that'd be suicide," Dean laughed. Cas nodded snuggling into Dean's warmth.
"Castiel! Time to go brother!" Lucifer cried out waving at him. Cas let out a loud groan trying to fuse hismelf to Dean so he didn't have to leave. Dean's arms wrapped around him and held him tightly.
"I'll miss you baby," Dean whispered and Cas kissed at his neck all the way up to his lips, letting his tongue sink into his Chroi's eager mouth. Dean held his face while they kissed, lips and tongues moving in a perfect heated rhythym.
Twin...
Cas pulled away with a heavy sigh, his fingers tracing along Dean's face before he finally got up, walking over to where his siblings were waiting. Keelie stood leaning against the car, she smiled warmly at Dean, her hand raising in a little wave.
"Don't fret twin...we'll be back for the weekend..." Keelie whispered taking his hand. Cas looked up with wide eyes, a huge grin on his face.
"Did...Michael say it was ok?" He asked glancing back over at Dean who was staring at him. Sam and Benny were making their way towards him, careful to keep their distance. To the right of them he noticed a sulky Garth, his lean arms wrapped around his torso.
"I don't care...we're both mated now and 18 Castiel...we'll be moving here soon anyway... Dean's already promised to start working on a cabin for Garth and I," Keelie said and Cas turned to look at her. She was smiling and looking over at Garth, the silver in her eyes glinting in the rising sun. It wasn't the first time he noticed it but once again...he didn't have the time or privacy to ask her about it.
With one more glance back at Dean, he followed his sister to the car, climbing in after her.
"I said no Keelie! You and Castiel will stay home for this weekend...you both need to catch up on your studies!" Michael argued. Cas heard Keelie let out a growl and something slammed into the wall. They'd only been home from school a few hours before the two started arguing loudly...Keelie truely believed it wouldn't be such a big deal but Michael became agitated, almost furious with the twins when they wanted to go back...alone. Cas stayed outside the study, his back leaning against the wall listening to them. Gabe walked by a few times only to give his younger brother a sad smile.
"We're 18 Michael!" Keelie cried out.
"You could have fooled me with your petulant attitude! Stop acting like a child and I'll treat you like an adult!"
"We were only gone for 3 days! Castiel is the smartest kid in our school and my grades are all B's or better! Please...Alpha..." Keelie's voice softened and Cas heard Michael sigh heavily.
"Keels...please...will you just...stay home with us this weekend?" Michael pleaded and Cas frowned...there was something else there...hiding underneath.
"Mikey...what's wrong? Do...do you think you're going to loose us or something?" Keelie whispered so softly Cas had to strain to hear it.
"You two are the babies of the family and the first to find your Chroi's...how do you think I feel?" Michael laughed. There was a rustle of movement and Cas couldn't help himself from slipping into the room. Michael had his arms wrapped around Keelie, hugging her close to his body.
"Cas...I should have known you were outside...come here," Michael said and Cas hurried over, joining in the warmth of his siblings.
"Just...give me this weekend and then you can go back whenever you want...ok?" Michael pleaded and the twins nodded, holding onto to their oldest brother a little tighter.
The next week and a half went by agonizingly slow...it was Thursday...only one more day and he could see Dean. There were times when the want to be near his Chroi was so overwhelming, it would annoy the hell out of him. When he called Dean and whined about it, Dean almost got into his car to come see him. It took a lot of pleading but he managed to talk him out of it.
He was sitting in his advanced chemistry class staring down at the little swirls he was drawing on his notepad when he smelled him. He almost gagged on it it was so overpowering and smelled...wrong. A very skinny pale boy strided into the room, his long greasy hair pushed behind his ears and dark beady like eyes glanced around before settling on him.
Alpha...one he had never met before. The stare he was getting from him made him nervous and fidgeted in his seat. Their highschool was the most mixed of species in all of Oregon...but the humans were either stupid to it or just didn't want to acknowledge the were-animals' presences. As it was, there were two were-leopards in his class and they were staring at the Alpha warily, the greenish gold in their eyes flickering to life.
The boy smirked and made to sit at the empty seat at his table and Castiel panicked, his eyes flying to their teachers...a lone wolf.
"Young man...you will sit at this table here," Mr Devereaux said and the boy stopped his tracks, a low growl in his throat but moved to the empty seat anyway. His teacher gave Castiel a small nod and Cas sighed with relief...he'd have to find a way to thank him later.
The clock ticked by and it only made his nerves vibrate along his skin even more. The strange alpha kept turning in his seat to glance at him with a leer. The leopards across the room were trying very hard to resist the urge to hiss and flee the room. Cas swallowed hard and closed his eyes, focusing on the link with his sister.
Keelie!
Castiel...what's wrong twin?
There's...a new alpha in my class...i don't know what he is but...he won't stop staring at me.
I'll be there...just stay in the class room...maybe Lyra and Link will stay with you?
Cas shot a panicked glance over at the leopards and they nodded towards him, as if they could hear the internal conversation with his sister. The bell rang and he hung back, the leopards moving to stand next to him. They weren't the same animal and there was no way in hell they would even be able to really protect him if the Alpha did something stupid...but it was enough to send a message. The alpha grinned and left the room, letting the others breathe a bit easier.
"Thank you," Cas whispered. Link, the boy looked down at him and cupped the side of his face with a warm smile.
"You have been nothing but kind to us while others would try to chase us away...you are a friend Castiel...we protect our friends," He said and his sister Lyra nodded.
"Who the hell was that!" Keelie gasped walking into the room, her face scrunched up in disgust.
"The real question is what is he...he doesn't smell right," Lyra hissed, her canines growing just a bit. Link gripped her arm and she visibly relaxed.
"He's a wolf...and you best stay clear of him," Mr Devereaux stated from behind them.
"Do you know him?" Keelie asked, her hand reaching out to grasp Cas's wrist instinctivly.
"I know of his father... heed my warning...stay...away...from him," Mr. Devereaux warned then turned to go back to his desk. The young weres shared a tense look before leaving the room.
They ate lunch outside and the twins were pleasantly suprised when Lyra and Link joined them. Sharing with each other what they did on the full moon while they ate. When the bell rang Keelie gripped his arm.
"You going to be ok?" she asked and Cas bit his lip.
"Yeah...it's not like...he did anything it was just...really creepy," Cas shuddered, his arms wrapping around his stomach.
"Well...if does approach you...call me ok? I don't care if it's in the middle of class..." Keelie said and he nodded, giving her a hug before heading to his classroom.
He got there with no problems and even though he loved his art class, he couldn't shake the anxious feeling in his stomach. After working on his project for a few minutes, he asked for the bathroom pass. He just wanted to go outside for a moment...he was about to go through the exit when a laugh echoed from behind him.
The strange Alpha sood leaning against the walla, staring at him with curiousity. Cas swallowed hard and pushed through the doors, taking in a deep breath at the cool air. The doors opened behind him and he was once again overwhelmed by the boys stench.
"Mmm, well hello there..." his voice made Cas shudder...it was nasaly and tightly pitched.
"Hi...excuse me," Cas said and tried to move around him but the alpha moved in his way, the grin on his face turning into a leer.
"Don't be rude..."
"I...I'm not...I just need to get back to class..." Cas stammered swallowing down his furiously beating heart.
"I bet you do...it makes me wonder though...why your family even bothered letting you come to a school...you Omega's are only good for one thing," the alpha grinned wider, backing him up against the wall. Anger tore through his veins and he shoved the boy away from him.
"Because my family doesn't believe in that shit...and neither does my pack!" Cas shouted, the wolf struggling to stay dormant. The boy barked out a laugh before shoving him hard against the wall, his fingers digging into his shoulders.
"And that's what makes your pack weak little one...I haven't had an Omega...never wanted one...but you are beautiful," he moaned brushing his nose along Cas's neck. He let out a whine and tried to shove him off but the boy was way too strong.
"I...I have a mate!" Cas cried out. The Alpha laughed even more, one of his hands threading through his hair and yanking on it to make him tilt his head.
"And what Alpha would ever want to tie themselves to a little slut who is only useful when begging for a knot? Even if he did mark something as pathetic as you...I'd only have to cut it off...or burn it out of your skin," the alpha hissed into his ear. Cas's entire body was shaking and he couldn't help the pitiful whine escape his throat when the Alpha pressed his nose into his neck again.
KEELIE!
