It was now the day of the bonding ceremony. Roman and Dean were getting bonded at a beautiful house that they were renting out for today. Their friends, Roman's family had all came to watch the couple get bonded to each other.

Everyone was currently getting ready for the big day. Seth was helping setting up the decorations, trying to make sure that everything would look perfect.

"No. No! Those flowers don't go there, you're doing it all wrong."

"Seth, let them do their job." Finn said.

Seth ignored him, going over to some decorations that were on the stairs. "Ugh, look at this. Its all crooked. Finn, grab me that ladder over there."

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Someone has to fix this."

Finn grabbed the nearest ladder that was in the house, handing it over to Seth. He helped him set it up and was about to hold it for him, but then he heard Jimmy, Roman's cousin, calling his name.

"Hey, Finn! Do you mind helping us set up the tables?"

"Coming! Seth, my brother will hold the ladder while you fix the decorations."

Seth looked over at Finn's brother, frowning. His name was Dani, a short, skinny guy. Brown hair that went down to his shoulders, was usually in a mess, but he had it tied up in a ponytail for today. Had a bit of stubble on his face.

"Uh, but Finn...look at him. He's clearly in his own little world right now."

Dani was a few years younger than Finn, known as the 'black sheep' of their family. He dropped out of high school, but was trying to get his GED. In any social situations he always ended up doing or saying strange things. He smoked a lot of weed and Seth would complain about the smell. He could be a bit slow at times also.

"Relax, Seth. I know you're not too fond of him, but he does try to help."

"Yeah, he was some help when we had him stay over at our place once. Didn't clean up any of the messes he made and the police almost came to our house because of the smell of pot!"

"He's sorry about all that. Aren't you, Dani?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry...for what again?" Dani asked.

Seth placed a hand over his face. "I can't believe you're leaving me alone with him."

"You'll be fine. Anyway, I must go help set up the tables now. Good luck." He kissed Seth on the cheek, then left.

"Great." Seth sighed, getting up onto the ladder. "Alright, Dani. Lets get this over with. Come here."

Dani walked over to him, grabbing onto the ladder.

"You hold onto that. Its a bit wobbly. I'm going to fix these decorations and you just wait until I come back down, got it?"

"Yes, Seth. I will."

"Good. Now, don't get distracted by anything. I know how your mind is easily amused by everything."

"M' not! Just like to take in everything around me. Hey, Seth!"

"What?" Seth asked, busy fixing the decorations and the flowers, making sure that they were even.

"Are you guys serving brownies?"

Seth froze, stopping what he was doing. "What the fuck?! Brownies?!"

"You know. Pot brownies!"

"Dani, you idiot! What do you think we are?! Drug dealers!?"

Dani gave him a goofy looking smile. "You guys can't have a party without pot. I think I'll call one of my buddies and ask if he can bring some."

"No! Dani, don't you dare!" Seth suddenly felt the ladder wobbling, he saw that Dani had let go of it. "Ah! Dani, grab that!"

"I'm going to call my bud. Be right back."

Seth screamed, the ladder falling to the floor beneath him. Before he could fall, he grabbed onto the staircase rail, holding on for dear life.

"Dani! Get back here! If I break my neck it is on you!"

Soon, Roman came into the hallway, with a blonde omega woman. He saw that Seth was hanging from the staircase rail.

"Seth, are you alright!" He called out to him.

"Does it look like I'm alright?! Help me! Get me down from here!"

Roman set the ladder back up, so that Seth could get back down. The omega finally made it back to the floor, sighing in relief.

"I can't believe I almost died on the day of your bonding ceremony. Thanks to Finn's brother. Keep him away from me or else I'll murder him."

"Alright, Seth. But first, I think you should go stop him from ordering these so called 'brownies'."

"Yeah, we don't need any of our guests eating those. Who is this omega?"

"Oh, this is Summer Rae. She was the omega Sami was with before."

Summer spoke up. "Actually, me and Sami were never in a relationship. We were nothing more than just friends."

"Just friends? But I thought you two did date?" Roman asked, confused.

"I tried to. His attention was never really on me though. I myself couldn't see him as a potential mate, didn't feel anything like that towards him."

"So, he pretty much lied to Dean when he said you guys were together. That's just great." Seth gave Roman a look. "Some good friend he is. He can't even be honest with Dean."

"I had a feeling there was something off about him. Summer, did Sami ever tell you who he was actually interested in?"

"Not really. But I think he might have feelings for your mate, Roman. He talked about Dean...quite a lot. It really creeped me out. He seemed like he was obsessed with him."

It all made sense to Roman. Ever since that morning that he had fought with Sami, he realized that the alpha wanted to be more than just friends with Dean. He didn't want to tell Dean about his suspicions because he still had that belief that Sami was a good guy and that his instincts were just messed up. Messed up to the point to where they made it hard for him to form any friendships or finding his mate.

"Thanks for confirming all of this, Summer. I'll make sure to tell Dean about this. After our ceremony."

"I hope he will believe you, Roman." Seth said. "He didn't invite Sami to the ceremony, did he?"

"I'm not sure. He didn't tell me if he did or not. But if Sami does show up, make sure that he's not allowed in here. Alright?"

"Oh I definitely will make sure he does not step a foot inside this house. No way am I letting him ruin this day for you both."

00000000000000

Dean was upstairs, finishing up getting ready for his big day. He was currently wearing the dress, which was blue and white. His shoulders and upper back were exposed. A long veil was sewed onto it. It fitted him quite nicely.

He was looking forward to taking Roman's last name. He would still keep his, except now it wouldn't be used for certain situations. He was so happy that he could cry. His daughter was going to be the flower girl, Seth would help Tommy hold onto the rings. It wasn't going to be the ceremony that he imagined it would be, but he didn't care. He was just excited to be officially bonded to Roman, even though they already were in a different way.

"Well, aren't you looking beautiful, Dean." He heard a familiar voice from behind him.

'No...please don't be him...'

One quick glance in the mirror confirmed his fears. Sami came out of his hiding spot, walking up behind him.

Dean quickly went to the door, ready to open it in case the alpha tried advancing on him again. "What are you doing here, Sami?"

"You invited me to the ceremony, remember? You just didn't tell me that the date was changed."

"H-how did you find out?"

"I have my ways."

"You shouldn't be here, Sami." Dean let out a growl. He would try his best to defend himself if it came down to it.

"And why? I came to show Roman that I really am as good you say I am."

"I changed my mind. I've been throwing away my relationship, my mind has been all screwed up lately. There's some part of me that longs for you. My instincts keep telling me you're my alpha."

"You should listen to them then."

"I won't! Its wrong! They are wrong! I don't know whats going on with me, but I do know this. Roman is my alpha. He's the only one for me and I will not sacrifice my relationship just because of some fucked up part of me."

At that moment, Sami tackled him to the ground, sitting on top of him to make sure he didn't try to escape. He pinned Dean's wrists above his head and had one hand around his neck. "You think you're the one that's fucked up? You have no idea about what its like to be."

"Sami, get off!"

"You don't know what its like to be me." He spat in his face. "Ever since I presented, people always questioned my status. They kept fucking telling me I was strange. They did tests on me to try to figure out what was wrong with me. You have no fucking idea what its like because you are such a beautiful and perfect omega. So goddamn fucking perfect. My mate."

"You're crazy! Let go! Let go of me now! Roman, help! Help me, please!" Dean screamed out for his alpha, hoping that he would hear him.

Roman, with Seth following him, came running up the stairs. He sensed that Dean was in distress. That he was in danger. He opened the door to the room he was in and saw that Sami was on top of him.

"Sami, what the fuck are you doing here!" He growled, lunging at him.

"How did he get in here anyway? There's no way he could have gotten in." Seth said.

Sami pushed Roman off of him, sitting upright. "A little bird let me in. That little bird had a strong smell on him too."

"Fucking Dani! That idiot! Wait until I get my hands on him." Seth said.

"I don't know what makes you think you're invited here, but you're not." Roman said. "You need to leave us alone you fucking creep."

"I'll never forgive you for what you've done, Sami." Dean spoke up. "I trusted you. You took advantage of my trust. You need a lot of fucking help."

"Whatever, Dean. You're not so perfect yourself! You let me kiss you!"

"Don't listen to him, Roman! He forced himself on me! He's trying to tear us apart." Dean said, praying that Roman would believe him.

"I knew he was up to no good." Roman said. "Now I'm sure you'll believe me when I say that he hurt you that night. I may not have any proof but I just know that he did. You are very sick, Sami. You are never to come near Dean again."

Sami watched as Roman stepped in front of Dean. It made him want to laugh, seeing the alpha being so protective of him. But Sami knew, because of some information that was told to him that Roman wasn't the right alpha for Dean. He knew that underneath that gentle and loving facade, was a dangerous person that could hurt Dean badly or worse. He didn't derserve such a precious, beautiful omega.

"I think you should be the one that shouldn't be around Dean, Roman. You don't deserve him. Not after you've what done."

"What the fuck are you talking about?!"

"Thanks to Dean here I know exactly what kind of alpha you are. A very dangerous one."

"Dean, what does he mean by that?" Roman asked, wondering what Dean had told Sami to make him think this way about him.

"I-I don't know...I have no idea what he's talking about..."

"Don't try to act all innocent, Dean. You told me this yourself. That your alpha lost control of himself. Broke a promise to you."

Dean let out a gasp, now remembering what he said. He had revealed to Sami the mistake that Roman had made in the past. He was now using this against him to try to turn Roman away from him.

Roman was now looking at Dean in disbelief, clearly upset and confused about why Dean would share that with Sami. Dean wanted to run away and hide. He could also feel Seth's eyes on him too, who was just as confused as Roman.

'I'm so stupid. So fucking stupid! I should not have told Sami that!'

"Dean, please tell me that what he is saying is not true, please. Please tell me that you didn't tell him about that." Roman said.

Dean hung his head, feeling so ashamed about what he had done. "Its true, Roman...He knows. Sami knows about what you did to me."

Roman grabbed onto his arm, pulling him out of the room. "Come outside with me." He said in a too calm voice. "We need to talk."

"O-okay..." Dean said, feeling nervous about what Roman wanted to say to him. Before they left, Roman told Seth to get Sami out of the house.

Sami watched as the couple walked away, smirking to himself. He had done it, had drove a huge wedge between them. There was no way that Roman would be able to forgive Dean for this.

"Hey, you going to move or are you going to just stand there?" He heard Seth from behind him.

"Don't worry, I'm leaving. I have no business being here anymore. I just wanted Roman to know who he was getting bonded to, is all."

"You keep your mouth shut about them, Callihan! Dean may have made a mistake by telling you something so personal, but I know that he loves and cares for Roman. You've been putting some crazy ideas into his head, you used him. He told you this because he trusted you."

"Or maybe he told me because he knows I'm right about Roman. He'll never admit it, but he is actually scared of what Roman could do to him."

0000000000000

Roman brought Dean out near the lake, sitting him down on a bench. He had so much that he wanted to say to him but he just didn't know where to begin. He looked at Dean, who had not spoken a word since they left the house. He looked amazing in the dress that he wore, was wearing the locket that was given to him. He also had the ring on his finger.

Today was supposed to be such a wonderful day for the both of them. Their friends and family were to see them get bonded to each other in a few hours. Roman had even wrote the perfect vows to say to him. But now, he didn't know what to feel. He didn't know if he wanted to go through with this ceremony anymore. He felt as if he didn't even know Dean anymore. So much had really come between them.

"Roman...I...I'm sorry..." Dean started.

"Why would you tell him that?" Roman interrupted him.

"I-I don't know...I don't know why I did."

"No, you do know. I want you to tell me right now why you did."

"What do you want me to say, Roman? I told him about it when we were going through a whole lot, when we were fighting. He got me to trust him so much. And I really thought it wouldn't do any harm to tell him."

"But that is between me and you! No one else. The only ones who know are Seth and Finn. But thats because I wanted them to help talk some sense into you before leaving me. Why would you tell that to someone who is only tearing us apart?"

"I didn't know! I was too blind to see that he was! Please, Roman, you have to believe me."

Dean was getting so frustrated and upset. He didn't want to fight with Roman, not today. Not ever again. They had both just made up and now everything was falling apart again.

Roman sat down next to him, his head in his hands. "I think I'm starting to understand now...You told him while we were fighting, right?"

"Yes, I did." Dean said, rubbing a hand up and down Roman's back.

"Alright. I need to ask you something. And please be honest with me. Is there a part of you that is still scared of me?"

"No, never. That's in the past."

"But something caused you to bring that up again and I know it was me. And you kept telling me I need help for my anger. I think there's a part of you that is still scared of me."

"Roman, no. Don't think that, please." Dean pleaded with him. He didn't want Roman to believe what Sami had said. They both had worked so hard to get to where they were now in life. They couldn't just throw it all away just because of this guy.

"Roman, you have done so much for me in my whole life. If anything I feel safe and secure around you. Please, don't let what Sami said tear us apart. I love you, please."

"I'm sorry, Dean. Apparently all that I had done for you is not enough. I'm sorry, but thats just how I feel right now. We have to call off the ceremony."

"We can't! We waited so long to do this!"

"There are things to be dealt with first before we do. I want to do this with you, I really do. But not with the way things are now Dean, I feel like I don't even know you anymore..."

Dean tried to move so that Roman's arms were around him. He wanted so much just to feel his alpha's touch on him, for him to remember what they were doing this for. To bring them more closer to each other. As a couple, as a family. When he tried to though, Roman pulled away.

"Don't. I don't want to right now."

"Roman, no..." A few tears fell down Dean's cheeks.

"I want you to go home, Dean." Roman said, handing him the keys to their new car. "I want you to think about you've said. To think about what you can do fix all of this."

"But how am I supposed to?! Roman, I don't feel that way about you! I'm not scared of you, I know that you wouldn't hurt again!"

"Stop, enough now. Just go home, okay?"

"Do you promise you'll come back?"

"I will after a while. I just need to be alone for a bit." He went over to him, kissing away at his tears. "I still love you, I do. I just want you to think about how you really feel about me."

"Please don't do this, Roman...I-I n-need you..."

"And I need you too, baby. But if this is going to work then you need to be honest with me." He gave Dean a gentle kiss, then stood up. "I'll go let everyone know that the ceremony is canceled. Don't do anything stupid to yourself, alright? Just go home."

"I-I love you, Roman...And I promise you that I will be. I'll make things right again."

Roman gave him a small smile. He hoped that things would go back to the way they were before. He didn't want to have to give Dean up. He turned around, walking back to the house. He didn't dare look back, because he was afraid that if he did so that he would stay instead. It wasn't easy for him to be doing this, but he needed Dean to know that he had truly messed up and he really needed to fix this.

Dean watched him go, crying even more now. He wanted to follow him, but he didn't want to make things worse or start a fight with him. He just couldn't believe that one little mistake could cause so much trouble for them.

He stared out at the water, thinking about how messed up he had become. He thought that after all these years they have been together, all the help that he had gotten, that nothing could ever come between the two of them again. Now, it just all didn't seem to matter anymore.

He wasn't sure how long he had been sitting there or what he was even waiting for. It was getting dark and it was colder out. He knew Roman wasn't going to come back out to check on him. The alpha probably thought that he had left already.

"I can't sit here forever feeling sorry myself. I better get back home before it gets even later out."

"Yeah, you are going home. With me."

Dean heard a rustling from the bushes nearby. He looked over and saw that Sami had found out he was here. The omega was frozen with fear. He had nothing to protect himself with and there was no one else out here with them. They were hidden by a lot of trees surrounding them, so no one could see what was going on out here.

"W-what do you want? Get away from me!"

"You know what it is that I want. I want you, Dean. And now, there is nothing that can stop me from getting to you."

"You stay right where you are! Don't come near me!"

"And what are you going to do if I don't?"

"Roman, he'll come back out here. He'll know somehow that I am in danger."

"Roman has abandoned you, Dean. He is not going to waste his time anymore on you."

"No! You don't know him like I do! You can keep trying to turn me against him but its not going to work! He means too much to me!"

"Dean, I know almost everything about you and Roman. You don't need to tell me anything about yourself or him."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I've known you before I've even met you. I read your book. It was quite a thrilling experience reading it. Especially reading the parts where you talk about getting raped. Got myself off to them a lot."

The omega threw himself at the alpha, furious with him. He saw Sami for what he was. A disturbed, sick individual who got off on him being hurt. He got Dean to tell him about what Roman had done to him because he wanted to get off to it. And the thought of knowing this made Dean sick. He used him for his own pleasure.

Dean did whatever he could to try to hurt him so that he couldn't do anything to him. He may had not had anything to defend himself with, but he wasn't weak. He was going to use every bit of strength in him to make sure that Sami knew that.

"You fucking used me, Sami! You manipulated me into trusting you! Made me believe that it was Roman was the one who needed help, when it was you all along!" He punched him in the face, making sure to leave another bruise there.

"B-baby, stop this. You're upset." Sami said, trying to get the omega off of him. "Just calm down. We can talk about this."

Dean let out a scream. "Fuck you, Sami! Stop trying to get into my head with all of your bullshit! Just stop!" He stood up, kicking him in the stomach. He had beat Sami up pretty badly and he was sure that the alpha was too bruised up to even move.

"I'm getting Roman, I'm going to tell him what you almost did. We're calling the police. You're going to prison for what you did to me that night. I may not remember but I do believe Roman when he says that you've raped me."

Sami saw that Dean was about to head back towards the house. He couldn't let him get away. He didn't want to do this, but the omega just wouldn't listen to him. He would have to use force if he was going to succeed in his plan.

"You're not getting away from me. I won't fail at taking what belongs to me!"

Dean ignored the alpha's words, focusing on getting back to the house. There was nothing that Sami could do to harm him anymore. Or so he thought.

He heard a clicking sound from behind him. Before he could see what Sami was doing, he suddenly felt a terrible pain in his lower back. He screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground.

"Ah! S-Sami! Why?!"

"I had to do something to stop you from getting away, didn't I?"

Dean's hand clutched at his lower back, trying to stop the bleeding. "Y-you won't get away with this!"

"I believe he already has." Dean heard someone say from behind him. It was a woman speaking. Her voice sounded familiar. He didn't have time to figure out who it was, because whoever was behind him put a wet rag up to his mouth and nose, forcing him to inhale the scent of chloroform. He struggled in the person's hold, trying to get away. Tried screaming out for help, but his voice was muffled by the rag. His vision blurred out after a few minutes and he went limp in the woman's arms. She smiled at the alpha, who laid on the ground. They were both going to get what they wanted. Sami would have his mate now and she would have her son now.
