Okay, so I couldn't get out a chapter on the same day as the last chapter. I'm sorry. I hope this is good and I actually liked writing this chapter. I hope you like it! Here we go!

Balthazar's sandy brown form raced to the borderline, growling and ready to fight. He was patrolling the line when he smelled the Winchesters. He really just wanted an easy patrol and it didn't look like that was going to happen. The buck in his stomach hadn't quite finished digesting. He ran along the path and skidded to a halt right at the line. He snarled when he saw Sam, Dean and Castiel just getting ready to cross the line.

Dean immediately bristled. "Balthazar."

Balthazar shrunk at the power he felt. He shrunk down into human form and bowed. "What can I do for you?" Being human showed respect and submission, especially when the other company are wolves.

"I hear a blonde wolf has entered this pack."

Sam growled when Dean said that.

Balthazar's eyes fell on Castiel, who was also human form. "What do you want to know?" He moved his gaze back to Dean.

Castiel sighed. "Look. We know that Fate has joined you. We came to try and talk her into coming back."

Balthazar's eyes narrowed. He clearly didn't trust the lot. He faced his former pack member. "Why should I trust you? In fact, why should you care? This sounds a lot like a little Winchester pack drama that's been dumped onto my pack." He was as close to Castiel as the line would allow. "We didn't bitch wen both our omegas made a break for it. So why are you?"

By now, Castiel was fighting to kneel. The power and irritation rolled off the beta like waves. "Alpha," he gasped, voice wavering.

Dean was in human form by now, and held up his hands. "Fine. Will you bring us there or not?"

"I guess Lucifer would like to hear this…" The Novak finally stepped aside. "Very well. This way."

Sam turned into a human, as it was respectful to be human in another wolf pack's territory.

Dean turned and nodded.

The four walked into the Novak pack territory, tension hanging in the air.

Lucifer's blue eyes gently turned to see the four coming. He sighed. "What did you bring this time, Balthazar?" he asked as he climbed up the podium rock.

Fate came out of the house to stand at the base of the rock.

Dean let out a low growl. He absolutely hated seeing Fate there. "Fate. What the hell?"

Fate smiled. "Cut right to the chase? Okay." She adjusted her glasses for the pure sake of building the suspense. "You want to know why I left."

Lucifer sat on the large boulder and watched with interest.

Fate pointed at Castiel. "He's the reason."

Dean looked mildly surprised.

"I had to be noticed by you, Dean. I had to show that I was stronger than the other women in our pack. I thought that once you noticed me, I was set." She took a breath. "Once that omega came along, it was obvious that I lost you."

Samandriel walked out of the house at this time. "Castiel!" His surprised call cut right through the conversation.

Castiel's face broke out into a smile. It faltered when he saw the scar that snaked its way from the omega's bottom left of the chin to the nose. "Samandriel…what happened to your face?"

Samandriel's fingers pressed the ugly red wound, smile still on his face. "Oh this? Hunting accident."

Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Are you two done yet?"

"Alpha. Can I go and talk to Castiel somewhere else?"

Lucifer regarded the request with disinterest, and he just nodded.

Castiel looked at Dean.

Dean just flicked his ear in acknowledgement. He was here to talk to Fate; he didn't care what Castiel did at the moment.

As the two ran off, Fate stepped closer to the Winchester. "Dean. I am a beta. I can be your mate. The Law forbids omegas mating with alphas."

Dean's green eyes flared. "Do not bring the Law into this. It says that you cannot mate with another alpha male in another pack!"

Fate snarled. "You broke it first!"

"You two," Lucifer chided. "You sound like children." He turned to Dean. "If we are all so interested in the Law, then Castiel belongs to me. Due to the lack of females, I was free to choose my mate. Now that Fate came, I can have her."

Dean grew dark. "Fine," he spat. "I never wanted her anyway."

Fate's eyes flashed and she burst into wolf form, snarling, and baring her teeth. She refused to be tossed aside like trash.

Deeper in the forests, Samandriel and Castiel sat on the ground as Castiel took a closer look at the wound.

Samandriel protested, saying that it had healed.

"The buck's tines really did this?" All Castiel got was an annoyed nod. "You have to be more careful."

Samandriel sighed. "I miss you," he said quietly. "Why don't you come back?"

Castiel paused at the question. "I'm Dean's mate now. I can't come back. I don't want to come back."

"But why?"

Castiel was silent.

"I came back, Castiel. I survived the beatings and I'm doing my best to live." Samandriel's voice was tense. "You can do it. I need another omega here for company. I feel so lonely."

Castiel stood up. "I can't. I belong to the Winchester pack now. I am the mate of Alpha Dean Winchester." He was getting defensive. He earned the trust of the Winchesters. To go back would probably shatter that trust.

Samandriel growled. "So…you won't come back?" He felt rage. He had to go through the abuse and the discrimination. "We may both be omegas, but sometimes I think I'm stronger than you," he hissed, getting up. "You are a coward. You're too afraid to come back and help me. You cannot take the abuse."

"You know the punishment for abandoning the pack," Castiel retorted quickly.

Samandriel lost it. He exploded into the wolf form. "I lived the damn punishment!" he roared. "I came back!"

Castiel reeled back at the sudden transformation. The power and emotion he sensed hit him and he dropped to his knees.

Samandriel growled. "You truly are a weakling. You can't even stand up for youself."

Castiel swallowed and tried his best to look calm. "I will not fight you, Samandriel." His fear level rose as the large wolf advanced on him.

Samandriel's lips were peeled back, revealing his deadly teeth. "I won't either," he said as he pushed past the human again and tugged his black rain coat over him as it started to rain.

Castiel watched his friend head back to the camp. "Samandriel!" he called. "I'm sorry. I'm-" He stopped when he realized that his words were falling on deaf ears. He stared at Samandriel's back as the rain started pouring out of the grey, stormy sky.

I know what I'm doing. I hope this fight didn't seem pointless. I have plans for this. Anyway, I hope you readers really liked it! This is FlamboyantLollipop signing off. Until next time!
