June ~ Moon of Horses

Dean rubbed his forehead as the small headache slowly grew into a migraine. His grandfather's voice was beginning to irritate him to no end. It was the usual once a week meeting with the Alpha's just to make sure everyone was on the same page. It was also the time for anyone to speak up if they had something on their minds. And of course, Samuel spoke every time. And each time, it was about the same damn thing.

Thankfully, the moon phase this month had gone by quickly and without much of incident. He only ran on the first night to blow off steam, the rest of the time he was with his mate...even most of their friends decided to stay close by on the other two nights of the full moon. It was a pretty simple phase...just celebrating their strength as a pack. Which was what lead to this stupid argument yet again.

"Samuel, I don't understand where you're getting this idea that we have to many wolves living on our land….yes we do seem to be a little crowded at the moment but you know as well as I do, us older ones are moving further out," John said with an exasperated tone. Several other alpha's nodded and there was a grumbling of agreement. Everyone was just as tired as Dean was hearing about this. Samuel huffed, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned back in his seat.

"That's not what I'm worried about son, it's the mass of numbers. It would be great if we were still at war with the other packs…but we aren't. But others may start to get the wrong idea," Samuel argued. John opened his mouth to speak but Julian held out his hand to speak. John bowed his head and gladly let the older wolf answer for him.

"If I remember correctly, this pack has been going through a fair amount of attacks recently…two in one year yes?" Julian said. Samuel nodded and wisely kept quiet.

"Then wouldn't these great numbers be in fact…a good thing if these attacks keep occurring?" Julian said quirking his brow. Samuel gritted his teeth and flicked his head in agreement.

"I would have not joined this pack if I did not have complete faith or trust in the Conri or his next in line. No offense to you John, but that is why I kept my family away while Henry Winchester was Conri. He was a strong man yes, but the things that this pack has gone through lately, I don't think he would have been able to handle," Julian said. Dean looked over at his dad who was slightly nodding, his eyes a little faraway in his own thoughts. Samuel grumbled something and John groaned.

"What would you have me do Samuel? Turn away anyone who asked for our aid? Would you have turned away Alfie?" John asked. Samuel stared at John for a moment and Dean's heart stammered in his chest. He didn't understand the look in his grandfather's eyes but one thing he was sure of….he didn't fucking like it. John flinched but before he could get angry or say anything Michael raised his hand.

"I'm sorry Samuel, I know your position is higher than mine but if you are even suggesting that we start turning away wayward wolves than you're going to have a serious problem from me and my family," Michael said, his eyes flashing just a bit. There was another chorus of grumbles and Dean glanced around nervously; several of the Alpha's eyes were glowing.

"Enough! We will not be turning away anyone who asks for protection…Samuel, I hear you and understand where you are coming from but it changes nothing. Now if there is nothing else, I'm calling this meeting to an end," John growled. The wolves settled and Dean slowly felt his shoulders relaxing. His pack mates slowly filed out of the meeting hall, Samuel looked like he was going to stay but with a glare from John he was following the others out. Dean rubbed the back of his neck as he made his way over; John was pinching the bridge of his nose and let out a long sigh.

"That man just does not know when to quit…" John's voice was so strained Dean winced.

"Why does he keep bringing it up?" Dean asked.

"Because as much as I hate to admit it, he's right. The pack has doubled in size since I was a pup…we lost so many in the pack wars…there weren't many females or Omega's around to mate with. The ones who did find one were lucky, including me and Bobby. Thankfully with the Novak's joining us we were able to add some new blood…but our pack has always been a huge mix between the families and rogues. By the time your generation has their pups, the pack will most likely triple," John said. Dean nodded and couldn't help the huge smile on his face.

"We haven't had any babies around in so long…I think the last one was Hael," Dean said softly. John grinned as he nodded his head.

"That is true, it'll be nice to see children running around here again. How is your Chroi?" John asked.

"He's good…cranky but good," Dean laughed. John snickered, patting him on the shoulder.

"Oh I remember that…Mary was so adorable when she got cranky," John said with a fond smile. Dean glanced up at his dad and smiled…the look on his face was so serene it made his chest squeeze.

"Well son, I guess we should go and join the others," John smiled clapping him on the shoulder before pushing away from the desk. Dean watched his father leave the hall and really hoped that he would be able to follow in his footsteps.

Castiel stood next to Meg, holding her hand as she laid down on the table to be examined by Pam. The older wolf hummed softly to herself as she waved her hands over Meg's stomach, her eyes widening a bit as a soft smile spread on her face. He could hear his friend's heart speed up and he his couldn't help but do the same.

"You are pregnant," Pam chuckled, her hands settling gently on her stomach. Meg opened her mouth to say something but her voice lodged in her throat.

"Oh my gods…Meg!" Cas exclaimed with a bright smile. Meg rubbed her stomach below Pam's hand and laughed, a tear spilling down her cheek.

"I can't believe it…I mean I dreamed of it and had a feeling I was but….wow," Meg laughed again, her hand quickly brushing away the fallen tear. Cas smiled down at her as Pam went over the same precautions she had given him…except they weren't as strict.

"Well Castiel, you're a male Omega…pregnancies can be a bit more difficult for you…especially so soon after your first heat. But you've done so well and the baby is healthy, I'm very proud of you," Pam explained when he asked. He beamed at her, his hand resting on his huge stomach. He had maybe a little over a month to go…but he wasn't nervous or over eager to get the baby out. He was so content it was hard to even feel the stress Pam had warned him about.

"Thank you Pam…I can't wait to tell Luc," Meg grinned taking Cas's hand. They said their goodbyes and left her cabin.

"You excited to be an Uncle?" Meg asked. Cas froze, a giggle escaping between his lips. It never connected in his brain…this was going to be his niece or nephew…he just kept thinking it as just Meg's baby. He stared at his friend and then down at her stomach, a huge warmth filling his chest.

"Very…but I can't wait to see Luc's face…he's wanted a family for so long," Cas said with a smile. Meg bit her lip and grinned, pulling him along by his arm.

"I think we should go surprise him at the club," she said. Cas laughed, pulling her back a little.

"Your serious?" He asked. She nodded eagerly and he swallowed against the sudden rise of nerves.

"I know what you're going to say but I have to have either Benny or Gabriel with me," Cas said blushing a bit. It was embarrassing but after everything that had happened, he agreed with the extra protection. He didn't mind though, Benny was fun to hang around and he loved being around his brother. Ever since Gabe became his official Beta he'd been able to spend a lot more time with him. He was even able to get to know Krissy a bit better too, she always tagged along but he didn't mind.

"Cas…I know I tease you a lot for it but I do understand, I'm not that big of a jerk. To be honest, I don't feel like driving to the club. Lets just go hang out at the house and wait for him to come home," she said. Cas laughed and followed her to the main house.

Just as they approached he caught his mate's scent in the air and jerked around to see him walking over. Cas frowned at the obvious tension in his body, his lips pressed in a grim line. Dean visibly relaxed when he finally saw him, a warm smile erasing the hardness in his face.

"I'll see you inside Castiel," Meg said teasingly. He blushed and looked down at the ground as his mate finally got within arms reach. A finger hooked under his chin and brought his face up to meet the gentle press of his mate's lips. Cas sighed and melted into his mate, his hands sliding up his arms to wrap around his neck, pulling Dean in closer.

Dean moaned softly, hands sliding around his waist to massage into his lower back. Cas let out a loud groan at the sudden relief flowing through his spine making his mate chuckle against his lips. Dean pulled away slightly, brushing his fingers along the side of his face.

"How are you feeling?" Dean asked.

"Good….but I would be much better if you kept rubbing my back," Cas grinned up at him. Dean laughed, nodding his head as he took his hand, leading him into the house. Cas let the familiarity of their home swarm around him, warming him up from the inside. The kitchen and living room were constantly filled with people and Cas loved it. Meg, Alfie, Benny, Sam, Jess, and Gabe were all watching TV He smelled the air and groaned when he caught the scent of Charlie's famous bacon cheeseburgers. Dean grinned at him, pulling him over to a couch that was surprisingly empty.

Cas tried, but he just couldn't hold back the moans that left his mouth when Dean's fingers started to massage into his back. He could hear his friends laughing at him but he really didn't care at the moment. When Dean got to his lower back, he let out an embarrassing whimper.

"Seriously Dean…when was the last time you actually took care of him?" Sam asked with a laugh. It was meant as a joke but he could hear the sincerity in it. Dean let out a growl and the room suddenly got quiet and tense.

"You're seriously going to ask me that?" Dean said, his hands stilling on his waist. Sam opened his mouth to retaliate but Cas shot a glare at him.

"Ok, enough. Dean, if you stop rubbing my back you'll be sleeping outside tonight. Sam I appreciate the concern but Dean does just fine," Cas said, groaning out when Dean pressed almost a little too hard into his back. Benny snorted out a snicker, quickly trying to cover it up with his hand. The others looked at each other before giving up and just started laughing. Sam turned a bright red and sunk down on the couch, keeping his mouth tightly shut.

Balthazar scrolled through his playlist and grumbled at the over played songs he had on the stupid mp3 player. He finally settled on one of his favorite bands and continued on down the street. With Michael out of the office today, he was able to actually get more involved in the work that they did. He was slowly starting to get interested in it and he was thankful. It made his days a little less exhausting.

Taking a short cut towards the parking garage he swung around the corner of the theater and crashed right into someone, knocking them both straight to the ground. The girl in front of him was saying something but he couldn't hear her, the music in his ears became an unbearable noise as he finally ripped the ear buds out.

"I'm so…"

"Can you watch where you are going?" she cried scrambling to her feet, brushing her long fingers through her straight blond hair. Balthazar stared up at her and laughed, shaking his head as he got to his feet.

"Well I was going to ask if you were ok, but evidently you are princess…" he said. Before he could walk away from her, she grabbed his arm, her bottom lip caught between her teeth.

"I apologize…my friends say that I am too brash at times," she said.

"It's alright, I'm sorry I ran into you…I wasn't expecting a line to be outside of the theater…what's going on?" Balthazar asked eying the line. It consisted of mostly girls…and the few guys in line looked as if they were dragged against their will.

"Oh…yeah…it's for that ridiculous movie Titanic," she said with a dramatic roll of her eyes. Balthazar felt the color drain from his face and he fought every urge to run away screaming. He hated that movie when it first came out, especially that stupid song!

"Why in the hell would it be playing here?" he asked. She laughed crossing her arms against her stomach.

"It's being re-released for 3D," she said raising her brow. Balthazar barked out a laugh and was genuinely surprised when she joined him. He took a mental step back to take in the girl before him. She was very tall and thin but even through her dress slacks and blazer, he could see the slight curves to her body. Her eyes were big and a bright blue that seemed to make his heart speed up just a notch. Her golden blond hair was partly tied up with a few strands curving around her face. To others, especially the members of his pack, she would probably be considered plain but she was gorgeous to him. She seemed to notice his calculating glance and blushed, a slight smile spreading on her face as her bottom lip caught between her teeth again.

"Well…seeing as we have the same distaste for this movie…would you like to join me for some coffee?" Balthazar asked. She looked up at him with wide eyes and his breath caught…well that was different.

"I would like that but…I told my sisters I would come see this movie with them," she groaned. He laughed softly and shrugged slowly backing away.

"Thought I would try…well it was nice running into you," he said. She grabbed at his arm again, pulling him back towards her.

"Maybe some other time?" she asked, her smile turning a bit more mischievous. He grinned and nodded, pulling out his phone. He could definitely see himself hanging out with this girl on a regular basis.

"I'm Balthazar," he said reaching out to shake her hand. She glanced down and then back up at his face, a knowing look spreading through her eyes as she took his hand.

"My name is Atropos…but everyone calls me Annie," she paused for just a brief second before yanking him closer until her lips were brushing his ear.

"And I know what you are…."

Cas's limbs were jelly and any time he tried to move his arms, they would dissolve into noodles. Dean had spent the better half of an hour massaging every inch of his back only to move down to knead his fingers into his calves and feet. Even through his relaxed state, he could see the guilt bleeding into his mate's eyes.

"Dean..." Cas cleared his throat and sat up a little, "Dean, help me up please?" Cas said holding his hands up. Dean nodded, getting up to haul him up to his feet. He stumbled a little, looking up into his mates face with a bashful smile. Dean started to say something but Cas just took his hand, pulling him through the house towards the back.

Once they were outside Cas leaned up against the railing, gently pulling Dean closer to him. There was still a hint of guilt hiding in those green eyes and it made him laugh just a little. Before Dean could ask, Cas traced the line of freckles along his nose with his finger, trailing up to brush along his forehead. He kept this up until the crease finally disappeared and Dean's face softened completely, a little smile stretching his lips.

"There...much better," Cas said, his hand smoothing down Dean's chest and stomach, letting it rest on his hip. Dean huffed out a laugh, leaning in to give him a soft kiss.

"What was that for?" he asked, one hand rubbing the side of his tummy while the other cupped the side of his face. Cas sighed with content, his body becoming a noodle once again.

"Dean, I never want you to worry about how 'well' you take care of me...you do, so much. I'm so unbelievably happy," Cas said. Dean's face brightened with a huge smile just before leaning in to kiss him, his body pressing gently against him. Cas sighed softly wrapping his arms around Dean's waist, his hands dipping up into his shirt to touch his warm skin.

"I love you so much Cas...I know we haven't gotten to spend a lot of time together this week...well...as much as I wanted to anyway," Dean laughed nibbling at Cas's bottom lip. The Omega giggled, his fingers trailing along his pants to thumb along his mate's softening belly. Dean tried to jerk away but Cas kept his free hand pressed firmly at his back.

"I love you too Dean...and I wouldn't mind if you wanted to spend the whole weekend up in bed with me?" Cas grinned, his thumb still tracing at the very slight pudge of Dean's stomach. His mate growled low in his throat, his forehead pressing against the side of Cas's head.

"I would fucking love that..." Dean said, his lips brushing along his cheek bone to his neck, teeth grazing his neck. Cas shuddered through a snicker when Dean tried to pull his hand away from his stomach again.

"Cas, seriously," Dean whined. Cas looked towards the house and around them, when he saw no one, he slowly dropped to his knees, his fingers pushing up Dean's shirt. His mate made a startled noise and tried to make him stand back up, only to freeze when Cas pressed his lips to his stomach. It had taken awhile for him to notice it but one day they were relaxing on the couch and when Dean got up, he saw the little pudge. And for some reason, it turned him on like no other. Dean hated it and was so embarrassed by it...with things calming down, Dean was a little more relaxed and eating a bit more. Especially when Charlie cooked. Cas even sought her out to teach him...so between the two...Dean had gained a bit of weight.

"Cas..." Dean gasped, fingers threading through his hair. Cas looked up at him and smiled, nibbling and kissing, nimble fingers undoing Dean's pants enough to get at his lower stomach.

"Fuck...anyone...anyone could see us baby," Dean breathed out. Cas just smiled, pulling his pants down even lower. His mate's fingers petted through his hair while his other hand cupped the side of his neck.

"Do you actually care?" Cas grinned, biting at his flesh. He felt a sudden bravado as his fingers skimmed over his waist to grab fistfuls of his ass. Dean made that sound again...and it sent a shudder down his body.

"No, I don't. Anyone who got to see my beautiful Omega on his knees for me, telling everyone that you're mine...that no one else can even touch you..." Dean growled low in his throat again, his body shuddering hard. Cas's entire body flared up with heat, slick building up and leaking down the back of his legs steadily.

"Dean...take me upstairs and fuck me," Cas whimpered. Dean grinned, pulling him to his feet.

"Mmm, one thing first," Dean moaned, turning him around to press his hands on the banister. Cas turned to ask but only yelped when his pj pants were suddenly around his knees and a warm tongue was licking up his thighs.

"Ooooh," Cas moaned, pushing out his ass eagerly. Dean chuckled and Cas thought he was going to erupt from his skin when that first lick touched his extremely sensitive hole. That was another new thing...as he got closer to the due date, that area was getting increasingly excitable. It never took long for him to cum but now it was like Dean found a new goal to see how man times he could get his Omega to orgasm before he did.

"Gods you're so fucking sweet... I'm going to miss this when our baby comes," Dean sighed, his breath cool against the slick on his skin. Cas whined, his hand flying back to grip at Dean's short hair.

"Well...you'll just have to keep me full of your babies...now won't you?" Cas grinned. Dean growled, his fingers digging into his ass as he shoved his tongue deep into him. Cas couldn't help crying out, his hips jerking back to get even more of his tongue. Sometimes... he'd been to bashful to ask...he wondered if Dean phased just his tongue...cause he could swore that Dean's human tongue wasn't that long!

Dean's hand brushed up the inside of his leg and cupped his throbbing cock, rubbing him slowly and teasingly. Cas felt a flutter in his chest and started gyrating his hips between the two pleasures wracking his body.

Cas whimpered at the loss of Dean's tongue when he was suddenly being turned around, a gentle kiss pressed to his stomach just before his mate's mouth sucked his cock down in one fluid motion. Cas panicked for a split second...Alpha's weren't supposed to pleasure their male mates this way but with one powerful suck Cas stopped caring entirely. He threw his head back whimpering Dean's name over and over again as he spilled into his mouth. His fingers pulled at Dean's hair as he slowly came down, his breathing coming out in short gasps.

Dean's bright green eyes found his as he redressed him, standing up to press their lips together. Cas clung to him, his tongue finding its way into the Alpha's mouth. He shuddered at both of his tastes on his tongue and sucked greedily at it as Dean's hands swept up and down his back.

"Come on...let's get you inside," Dean growled, picking him up bridal style. Cas bit his lip and kissed at his mate's neck as he was carried inside.

"Hello Bella…it's so nice of you to join us," Bella shivered at the voice sliding along her skin. And the smell…gods she could barely breathe with them standing so close to her.

"I'm…I'm sorry I haven't really been in touch," She stammered, her eyes fluttering up before quickly averting back to the ground. It had been futile trying to run from them. Ever since Gordon mated her, she asked if they could leave…go somewhere far away from Oregon. He agreed and she left without a word to the pack she had been calling home. She barely made it through Montana before they caught up to her.

"Mmm, I wish I could believe that. But you see, I know you tried to run sweetheart…where you got the silly idea that you would actually succeed is what I would like to know?" the woman before her asked. Bella had only seen her twice…once when she made the deal and the second being to tell her that trying to woo Dean wasn't working. The woman didn't care…the only thing that mattered were results…not the process.

"I didn't mean to run but I have…"

"A mate? Oh yes, we know about him. Did you think that would get you out of our deal?" she laughed. It snaked up Bella's spine, making her shudder as her stomach coiled.

"I tried! Dean is too damn faithful to cheat on his mate!" Bella said. She cried out as a hand connected with the side of her face.

"You didn't try hard enough you worthless dog! Gods…whoever claimed you to be the higher species…it sickens me that everyone worships the wolves…claiming them to be the smarter more clever beings. You are all worthless and after one thing…finding a mate and having babies. It's disgusting," she spat. Bella glared up at her and wretched when she sucked in a breath.

"It's all about power and fear my sweet Bella…whoever has the most reigns…and your friends are about to learn that," she snarled. She spun on her heal, her long curly blond hair swinging around. Bela bit hard on her lip and flinched when the three men suddenly appeared, as if they melted out of the shadows.

"Wait…"

"No…I gave you 10 months to accomplish your goal…and you failed. We gave you ample time when we got that worthless Omega out of the way…but yet you still couldn't sway him. Now I hear he's pregnant…the start of even more Winchesters," she spat, her voice dripping with disgust. Bela swallowed against the knot in her throat and slowly started to back away from the men staring at her.

"Boys…you know what to do...but don't end it too quickly," Bela gasped and stared at the hungry look in the woman's eyes. They were cold and a blue so light, they were almost white. Her teeth gleamed in the light swaying above their heads when Bela's screams echoed off the walls.
