"Oh, hell no! He raped him?!"

Roman put his hand on Seth's mouth, wanting to shush him up. Dean had heard what the other omega said and was now glaring at him and Roman.

"I'm taking Miracle to school. Then I'm going over to Sami's to apologize for your behavior last week."

"I don't know why you're still going over there. I keep telling you that he is lying to you. Yet you choose to believe him over me."

"I'm not going to argue with you about this now. Until you can realize and act normally around him, I don't want to talk you. In fact, I don't even want to be around you right now."

"So what? You going to waste money we don't have on a hotel room? Or are you going to stay at his place?"

Dean clenched his fists, holding back what he wanted to say to Roman. It was now a week into November, their bonding ceremony was coming up soon, and things have soured between them.

They couldn't go a day without almost fighting with each, saying words that neither one of them meant. The fights never got physical. They only yelled at each other. There was no more lovingness and tenderness anymore. No soft touches, no kissing, no loving words spoken.

They couldn't even sleep in the same bed anymore. Just last week they a big fight, over Dean telling Roman he was sleeping on the couch for a while. He just couldn't sleep next to him knowing how far down hill the relationship was going.

All he wanted was to get a good nights rest, because he wasn't able to. He would try to next Roman, but he would turn back to him. Wouldn't hold him close, say 'I love you' or 'goodnight'. He would lay in bed, crying silently. He knew it was his fault for accusing Roman of his feelings towards him, but he also felt that Roman was at fault too for attacking and saying horrible things about his friend.

So, he figured it would be best if he sleep on the couch for a bit. Until they could at least work things out. And since Roman wasn't feeling so great, because of Dean defending Sami so much he had lost it.

He slammed Dean up against a wall, screaming in his face that he was throwing away their relationship for this guy. Dean had told him to get off of him, and Roman had just wondered if he was so scared of him now because he had hit Sami, was always telling him he needed help for his anger.

Because of Dean acting scared of him, he got frustrated and punched the wall next to his head. Almost putting a hole in it. Dean shoved him off of him and took off downstairs. Roman heard the door slam and heard the car being started outside. He ran outside, getting to the car before Dean could leave.

He held onto the door, screaming from outside for him to get out of the car. Dean rolled down the window, getting his hands off of the door handle. He would have gotten further away from the house, but he wasn't watching where he was going. Ended up crashing the car into a pole.

The front of the vehicle was smashed. Dean had hit his head on the steering wheel and was bleeding. Roman saw that he was hurt. He took Dean back inside the house, bandaging up the wound on his forehead. He took care of the car in the morning. Despite showing that he still cared and loved his mate, Dean still slept on the couch. He tried pleading with him to come to bed with him, but Dean told him he needed to sleep by himself tonight. For a while.

When they did fight, their pups, especially Miracle would hear them. She would wake up to them screaming or come home from school to find that they weren't on speaking terms with each other. She would try to get her brother out of the house, going over to Seth's and Finn's. At night all she could do was cover his ears and hope that she could do her best to get him back to sleep.

She missed her Mama and Daddy getting along with each other, always showing how much they loved and cared for each other. The only few loving moments in the house were towards her and Tommy. Even though they were angry with each other, she saw that they at least tried to hold together for them. She could tell they wanted to fix things with each other. She didn't like seeing them so sad.

Now, the young pup stood at the doorway, waiting for her Mama. She hoped that he would at least express some form of love towards her Daddy this morning. Give him a kiss goodbye or tell him that he loved him. She knew that they still loved each other, they just needed to resolve things between them.

"I'll be back late tonight. Don't wait up for me." Dean walked away, grabbing Miracle's hand. "Lets go, Mira."

He led the young pup outside. He would have to walk her to school since they didn't have a car now. Miracle felt his hand shaking. She could sense that he was on the verge of tears.

"Mama, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. Me and your Daddy are just not doing so good is all." He told her, his voice about to break.

"Are you and Daddy going to break up?"

"Don't like that, okay? Me and him will be bonded soon next month, so we're not breaking up. We're going through a rough time, but we'll fix this."

00000000000000

"...Wow...This is the first I ever seen you two at each other's throats like this." Seth said, once Dean had left.

"Do you think I want to be fighting with him, Seth?" Roman asked him, while putting away some dishes.

"No, I don't think so. But this is pretty bad, Roman. You guys are about to be bonded soon and you guys can't be acting like this. Its crazy."

"I know." Roman was making up some food for Tommy, about to feed him shortly. "I don't get it...He's only known Sami for a short time and he already trusts him so much. We've been together for a long time and he thinks I'm being overprotective of him."

"You're not. Okay? You just need to prove to him that you are right about Sami."

"But I don't how to, Seth! I don't have any evidence that he did something to him that night." He finished making up the food, bringing the bowl over the highchair Tommy was in. Putting the spoon up to his mouth. The cute little pup had his eyes and Dean's blonde curls, and was giggling a bit as Roman fed him.

"Da da!"

"Tommy, you're such a sweet boy." Roman leaned over, kissing his forehead. "If only Dean were here to hear you talking."

"Ma ma!"

"Yes, Mama."

"Hey, Roman." Seth started again. "Aren't you going to speak to Summer soon? Shouldn't that help give you some information about Sami?"

"I am going to be shortly. I hope what she has to tell me will finally reveal the truth about him."

"I hope so, too. For yours and Dean's sake."

"Yeah. You know along with him being angry with me, his hormones and instincts are acting up? His heat medication hasn't came in yet."

"Oh that's wonderful." Seth threw his hands up in the air. "No wonder he's acting so crazy lately. Just yesterday he bitched me out for forgetting the decorations when we went shopping."

"You can't just place the blame on him being moody, Seth. Its more than that."

"I know, but that also plays a part in it. Maybe you guys should hold back on this bonding ceremony."

"Hmm..." Roman was in thought for a moment. Him and Dean were falling apart and if they didn't work things out soon they might just have to call off the ceremony. It would be next month but maybe he shouldn't wait until then.

"We get bonded to each other next week then."

"Huh? But I thought you wanted a winter ceremony? And we really can't get everyone to Chicago by then either."

"Well, there's just going to have to be a change of plans then. We'll make it work. Maybe if we get bonded to each other sooner, it'll bring me and Dean closer to each other again."

0000000000000

"Hey." Dean smiled, greeting Sami when he saw him.

"Hey, Dean." Sami came over to him, giving him a hug, which the omega returned.

Dean pulled back, seeing the nasty bruise that he still had. "I'm sorry for what Roman did to you."

"No, don't sorry. Not your fault."

"Still, I should have released a scent or done something else to calm him."

"How are you guys doing anyway?"

"Not so good." Dean sat next to him, playing around with the locket he still wore. "I love him so much, Sami. I don't like it where things are going between us. I'm doubting him a whole lot."

"Why? Is he doing anything?"

"No, he isn't. Its just that he's so angry with me all the time and he won't tell he loves anymore. I get it, why he's angry, but he needs to realize that you didn't hurt me. That you were only looking out for me."

"Yeah, he really does. I'm surprised you have forgiven me for advancing on that morning. I'm sorry, I just have feelings for you. I care about you so much. But I can't let those feelings ruin our friendship."

"Please, Sami. Don't get worked up over them, okay? I understand."

"Okay. I'm glad that you do." He noticed how stressed Dean was. Seeing that his hair was a bit of a mess, his eyes red from not getting enough sleep, and the cut that was on his forehead.

"The fights that bad, huh?"

"Terrible. We don't even have a car anymore. That night was so bad. Roman got real angry with me for wanting to sleep on the couch. He cracked a wall from punching it so hard."

"Wow...did he scare you? Doing that?"

"Yeah, he did. I was scared. I was afraid that he might hit me."

"Dean, I need ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Forgive me, I don't mean to pry. But I need to know. Has Roman ever hit you before? Or scared you before?"

"No, never. He has never hit before. He is too loving and caring towards me. He only ever gets like that when someone tries to hurt me."

"So, you're telling me that he hasn't slipped up at least once?"

"Um...well...no. He really hasn't. Except one time..." Dean rubbed at his collar bone, wondering if he should really tell Sami about this. About something so personal and that wasn't brought up anymore.

"He did do something, huh? He has never hit you before, but he has made you feel scared before."

Dean shrugged his shoulders, feeling nervous about telling Sami this. He hoped he was doing the right thing by the revealing this to him.

"Um, yeah. It was more than that...It almost made me want to leave him for good. I did once, but that was after. And that was because I felt like a burden and thought I was bringing down. But this...it was his fault..."

"What did he do?" Sami placed a hand on his back. "You can tell me."

"I had just turned seventeen. He was twenty-one. I was in heat. We wanted to wait until I was of age. He sent me over to Seth's house because it would be safer for me to be there. I came back home, I was still heat. He lost control of himself, his instincts took over. And he raped me."

"So, he took advantage of you while you were in heat?"

"He didn't mean to! He was trying to so hard to stop himself."

Sami shook his head. "I don't know, Dean...He knew better. He gave into his instincts even though he promised you that he wouldn't that."

"Look, I stopped blaming for it long ago, alright? I can't hold it against him forever. He did whatever he could to earn my trust back."

"I know, but still. If I were in his position I would have done whatever I could to stop myself from hurting you."

"He did do that. He didn't know that that would happen."

"If you want my honest opinion Dean, here it is. I think that you deserve better than him."

Dean was taken aback by this. He had no words to describe how he felt in that moment. He knew Sami was only saying that because he cared about him, but he didn't Roman that well.

"If you knew him like I do Sami you wouldn't say that."

"I don't need to know him, Dean. I can already see how he is by the way that he treats you. And how controlling he seems to be of you."

"You don't know anything about him..." Dean said, standing up.

"You're just defending him because you love him. You're too blind to see how he really is." Sami stood up also, cornering him so that he couldn't go anywhere.

Dean stared up into his eyes, feeling fearful of him. He felt a sick feeling inside of himself. He shook slightly when the alpha grabbed ahold of him, pressing himself up against him.

"Sami, get off of me."

"Do you really want to?"

"Yes, I mean it. Get off." Dean gulped, wanting to push Sami away. He tried to, but his body felt too weak to. He hands were on his chest and all he could do was grabbed onto his shirt, bringing him more closer.

"See? You're barely even trying. Admit it, Dean. You feel the same way about me."

"N-no...I don't..." Dean shut his eyes tightly, feeling Sami's lips brush up against his.

Sami moved his lips against his. He bit down on Dean's bottom lip, hearing a choked moan from his throat. He slipped his tongue inside, kissing him more roughly now. He pulled away, looking at the Dean's flushed face, his eyes a bit clouded.

"A-alpha...mate..." Dean whispered.

Sami smiled, kissing him again. "Yes, give in to what you truly feel. You know deep inside that this isn't wrong."

Dean finally came back to his senses. Wrong. This was wrong. He didn't know what came over to him to let Sami kiss him. "Get off of me, now." He shoved the alpha off, moving out from underneath him.

"I...I have to go...Sami, maybe you need help too. I can't give you what it is you want from me. I think we need to stop seeing each other for a while. This isn't healthy. It isn't right."

"Did I screw up? Have I really fucked our friendship?" Sami asked, afraid that he really messed up so badly with Dean.

"W-we're still friends, don't worry. You just need to find other friends. Your own mate. I'm not the one for you, Sami."

"But what I feel for you is real. I want to be with you, Dean."

"If you really care about me so much then you'll help. For me. Alright?"

"Fine. I'll try to."
"Thank you." Dean reached inside of his pocket, pulling out a card. He handed it over to Sami. "I'm inviting you to the ceremony. Maybe this can help Roman see that you really are a good person. Will you come?"

"Yeah, I will. To show Roman that I support your guys relationship, to show him that I am good."

"I look forward to seeing you there."

"Me too, Dean. Me too." He really was. He was really going to enjoy himself at the ceremony. He couldn't wait to ruin that day for the happy couple.

0000000000000

Dean unlocked the door to his house, seeing that no one was home. It was almost near dinner time and he figured Roman must have taken the pups out.

"Guess he couldn't wait for me..." He mumbled to himself, feeling a wave of sadness come over him. He was already feeling ashamed of himself for what had happened between him and Sami.

He headed upstairs, going up to his and Roman's room. He might as well get ready for bed. He wasn't feeling very anyway. He turned the light and noticed on the bed that there was some folded up clothes with a note on top.

"Huh? Whats this?" He picked up the note, reading it.

'Get ready and put these clothes on. Meet me outside at 8.'

"Okay...Roman, what do you have planned?" Dean wondered to himself what his mate was planning on doing. He took a shower and got himself ready. He put on the dress pants and shirt Roman left for him, sprayed himself with some nice perfume, and brushed his hair, making sure it was fluffed out a little.

He gets outside a few minutes before eight. No sign of Roman anywhere. He should be here soon hopefully. He feels a bit nervous not knowing what to expect.

Soon, a black limo pulls up in front of the house. Dean raises his eyebrow, wondering who was inside of it. The door opened and Roman stepped out, holding out a red rose, that had a ribbon to tied it.

"Hello, Mr. Ambrose. Are you ready for your date tonight?" Roman asked him, handing him the rose.

"R-Roman, what...what is going on?"

"I wanted to do something nice for you. Aren't I allowed to do that for my mate?"

"Y-yes. Of course. Where are the pups? Aren't they coming?"

"They're with Seth and Finn. I wanted it to be just me and you at dinner tonight."
Roman took a hold of his hand, leading him inside of the limo.

000000000000

"Where did you get the money for limo? To do all of this?" Dean asked him once they had taken their seats at the table. The restaurant Roman took him to was very expensive place. They were by themselves on the balcony, with a nice view of the beach they lived nearby. Two candles were lit up on their table and both of them were drinking wine. It was very romantic.

"I asked Shane if he could help. He gave me money to pay for all this."

"But why? Why would you do all of this just for me?"

Roman grabbed a hold of his hand, rubbing his fingers across his knuckles. "With the way things have been lately between us, I was afraid that I might lose you. We have been fighting so much and I'm just tired of it. Dean, I don't want to fight with you."

"I don't want to fight with you either, Roman. I'm sorry...for what I have said and done."

"I'm sorry, too." Roman leaned over, kissing him. He pulled back to see that Dean was blushing. "You look beautiful tonight. You know how much I love you, right?"

"I do. I know how much you care about me and that you're only trying to protect me from getting hurt. I just want you to know that I'm going to be fine."

"You better be. Cause if I find out otherwise then I will be kicking someone ass." Roman chuckled. He reached into his pocket, pulling out the box he had the ring in.

"Okay, what are you doing now?" Dean asked.

"There's another reason why I brought you here. I've decided that we should have our bonding ceremony next week."

"But Roman, we've already let everyone know it was next month. Don't you think its too late to change everything now?"

"We'll just have resend the invitations out. We won't get to go to Chicago like we wanted, but I don't care. I'm doing this because I feel it would bring us closer to each other again. And when we go on our honeymoon, we can get away from all the stress at home for a bit."

"You don't have to do this...We can wait. You doing taking me out tonight is enough for me."

"Not when I can so easily lose you to another..." Dean noticed how sad Roman seemed to be when he said that.

He brought his seat up closer to his, resting his head on his shoulder. "You're not going to lose me. Never."

"You promise?"

"I promise." He gave him a quick kiss, then held out his hand. "Go on. Put the ring on my finger."

Roman opened the box, taking the small ring out. It was silver and had a small blue diamond on it. He put it on Dean's finger. He brought his hand up, kissing it.

"Now soon you'll be known as Dean Reigns."

"Oh, Roman." Dean laughed. "I love you so much."

"Love you too, baby"

Dean was now happy again. Him and Roman needed this night out together. He was glad that he had done this for him. He really appreciated what his mate was trying to do. And he would accept getting bonded to him early.

Roman was right. It would bring them both back together again and they could take a lot of stress off their shoulders. No more fights. No more arguing. Things would go back to the way they were before.
