The two figures morphed in the air, hands that were grabbing at each other became claws and their limbs stretched out wrapping around the other one as self-preservation kicked in. White fur danced with sandy blond with tufts flying out around then giving a strange sense of snow and a sand storm all at the same time. Time seemed to slow on their descent as all the omega could do was watch his mate and the man who had tormented him fall.
His feet were rooted on the spot, when he had seen Gordon fall to his death he had thought that maybe once again his Alpha would be able to get himself out of this situation, for now as far as he knew it was only Adam left who bore them a grudge or any ill intent. Now his heart was in his throat, he wanted to run over there, try and catch his mate but all that would do was probably end up him being squished to death. Behind him he could hear several pack members coming to the door each holding their breath at the sight.
Sam could see the ground rapidly approaching the two wolves, currently Adam had his teeth embedded into Dean's neck, with the Crown Alpha poised to take the fall impact. "NO!" Sam screamed as he shrugged out of his jacket and shifted in one solid movement. Without thinking he howled running towards the edge of the building just as the pair impacted with the ground.
The earth shook along with a cracking sound echoing throughout the atmosphere, dust flew up creating a smoke screen. Blinking this out of his eyes the omega came to a stop beside the devastation. Where there had been solid ground there was now a crater. Gordon's body had been thrown to the side in a splatter of gore but it wasn't this that had caught Sam's attention. In the middle of the crater lay two prone figures, one in worse shape than the other. A mass of white fur floated up past Sam's face almost like it was mocking him. Growling without a second thought to himself he jumped into the crater, ignoring the secondary figure that was laughing as it slowly pushed itself to his feet.
Sam paced over to his Alpha who was lying still in the centre, his white fur was covered in blood and clumps were hanging off of his body. His head was lying to the side with blood running down from what seemed to be a hairline fracture. His green eyes were peering up at him slowly blinking like he was trying to stop himself from going under. His snout was ripped and there were a few teeth still stuck in his shoulder, must have been ripped out when they had fallen. Pushing back the overwhelming fear that was threatening to take control the omega brushed his nose against his Alpha's neck, breathing in the man's scent hoping to bring him back from the brink. Dean's eyes closed for a second before he forced them open once more, a grimace crossed his face as he seemed to come aware of the pain that he must have been in but he was alive and that was the main thing.
Ignoring Adam Sam nudged his snout under Dean's arm and slowly the Alpha took this as encouragement to attempt to get to his feet. Dean shook as the pressure seemed to be too much so Sam placed his smaller wolf body under his Alpha's allowing the man to lean on his back for support. Right now he couldn't care less about the man in front of them, all he cared about was getting his stupid stubborn Alpha somewhere safe and out of the way of his need to play the hero this whole time. All around them the fire continued to roar, getting closer if the sound was anything to go by. They wouldn't have long until the whole place was going to be destroyed, all those homes…all the work that they had put into it was gone in one light of a match.
"Sammy boy how nice of you to join us," Adam's voice echoed in his head making him grit his teeth. He continued trying to get his Alpha to stand who seemed more out of it now than he did a moment ago. "Still going for the underdog…I always knew you were weak." Growling he nipped at Dean's ear as the man started to sag causing him to yelp and his eyes to fly open. He needed his Alpha to stay awake, at least until they were both out of dodge. "I will make you a deal," Adam continued not getting the message that he was being ignored. "You come with me and I will let my big brother here live in this ruin of a pack," Sam snorted like that was going to happen. "Or you choose him again and watch as I pull him apart in front of you, look at him…he's in no condition to fight…and you are just a lowly omega what are you going to do against an Alpha?" Sam shook his head trying to ignore Adam, Dean started slipping off of his back rolling onto the ground by Sam's feet. The Alpha groaned his eyes closing.
'Dean stay with me,' he begged his tongue licking at his Alpha's face. 'A lpha I need you!' however his pleading didn't seem to have been heard. Dean's confused eyes stared up at him, the normally bright green was now glassy giving the look that he had whenever he started to shift back. Mentally Sam swore, great that now meant that his Alpha would be vulnerable and out of action for as long as it took his body to heal away the pain and shift back to human. Why did Dean have to be so different right now?
Growling Sam took a step in front of his prone mate, he spread his legs, bared his teeth and raised his hackles towards the approaching wolf. The Pack Omega inside of him making an appearance, it was up to him to protect his mate and maintain the good of the pack. He had to step up if they were going to get out of this in one piece. He knew that he wouldn't be able to take on an Alpha but if he gave as good as he could get, maybe…maybe he could give Dean the time he needed. All he needed to do was wait…he just hoped that it wasn't a long one.
"Still you protect him?"
"He's my mate," Sam warned stepping closer to Dean with every movement Adam made.
"So was I," Adam reminded his wolf grinning showing his blood covered canines and the few that were missing. "We had a special thing Sammy."
"Don't call me that."
"Tssk," Adam tutted. "Your time with my brother seems to have taught you some bad manners, I really can't wait to beat them out of you again," he took a step closer so that he was almost nose to nose with the omega. "You have forgotten your place in this world, you are an omega, all you are good for is breeding. My brother should have knotted you and kept you pregnant if he knew what was good for him." Adam turned his attention towards Dean who was continuing to groan. "This time you have been with him and not once popped out his pup, is it you or him that has the problem…my guessing on him he always was second rated."
Sam growled his head lowering to the ground getting ready to defend his mate. "Dean understands what a mate is, I'm his not yours!" he added his back paw kicking out to touch the side of Dean's head hoping that the touch might ground him. 'I know you want to sleep Alpha but I need you, your pack needs you,' he sent to his mate feeling something stir inside of Dean. Slowly he could feel Dean's front paw touch Sam's back one and he stifled the need to jump for joy. He needed to stall a little more. "This pack will never follow you."
"Oh I know," Adam replied his eyes glinting. "My father is probably already dead, or at least he will never be pack Alpha again, when I kill my useless brother I will take his precious mate and make him mine. The pack will then get a choice, either stand by me or be slaughtered. I might kill some just for good measure. Don't want them to think I am merciful or anything like that."
"You're a monster," Sam replied fear starting to creep in.
"Take a look at yourself, we are all monsters here. We are the creatures that go bump in the night why should we be anything else? Human's understand our nature why should we hide it? My father and brother wanted to fit in, to be out of the way of civilisation. I say fuck them. Why should we be the minority? I will lead this pack to glory with a trail of blood in our wake. We will take back the lands that were stolen from us. The age of the wolf will begin!"
Sam shook his head knowing now that if they couldn't stop Adam then he didn't want to live in the world he was going to create. It would be chaos bathed in the scent of blood. He didn't want to be that kind of wolf. "We all have a choice."
"And I'm asking you to make yours now," Adam took a step back and lowered his head in a sick mating move attempting to entice the omega with his natural scent which just made him feel nauseous. "Him…or me…he lives…or he dies…what choice do you make?"
"Dean."
"So be it, I'm going to enjoy killing him…"
…
Adam leapt towards Dean and without a second thought Sam met him in the middle, the need to protect his Alpha was driving his every movement. He snarled as he ducked out of the way of Adam's teeth barely avoiding his throat being ripped out. Using his size to his advantage he slammed his head into the Alpha's stomach causing him to fall back slightly but not far enough. Adam mentally laughed straightening to his fall height, his bright blue eyes darkened with his ill intent. He tilted his head to the side like he was weighing up the situation, his eyes focusing on the still prone form of Dean behind him.
Sam sidestepped blocking his view once more. Adam snarled clawing at the ground beneath him tearing up the dirt in the process. He attempted to push past the omega but he held strong. Behind him he could feel his Alpha start to stir, silently he continued to call Dean's name. He took a step closer to the Adam feeling the were's angry breath huff across his face.
"I have so many ideas how to whip you back into the perfect fuck toy," Adam growled his teeth snapping towards Sam however he remained rooted to the spot not wanting to leave his Alpha vulnerable. He had left his mate to his own peril too many times before this was not going to be one of them. "What you went through before will be nothing compared to what I have in store for you." Adam jumped towards Sam, his claws raking through the omega's side ripping through his skin and pulling clumps of his fur out in the process. He stumbled back with Adam's weight falling on top of him, the Alpha's teeth were inching closer to his throat, his drool covering his fur making him turn his head to the side. "What made you think an omega could stand up to an Alpha?" Adam continued to laugh forcing more of his weight down on top of Sam to the point where he was convinced his chest would cave in. "The ideas he has put into your head, making you think you are capable of these things, it ridiculous," The Alpha's mouth closed as he leaned his snout down to lick at the side of Sam's neck. "You always did smell good."
Sam pushed at Adam with his full weight trying to force the man off of him, he could feel blind panic start to build with the memories of his past life coming back to haunt him. He placed his paws onto Adam's chest forcing the Alpha's mouth away from his neck, the scent causing bile to slither up his throat. Where Dean smelt like the woods and home Adam smelt like rotting fruit, like prison. How he could have ever thought that he was his mate was beyond him. His own jaws snapped back a warning. "I hate you" he hissed. "The only monster here is you."
"In time Sammy you will come to think my way. I will make you." Adam snarled raking his claws down Sam's other side this time the omega let out a howl as his blood dripped onto the ground below him. "I will break you slowly, I will enjoy watching you suffer. I will take you every night until you carry my seed."
Sam growled, he moved his head and sank his teeth into Adam's shoulder in the same movement he kicked his paws out at the Alpha's chest forcing him to fall off of him. Releasing Adam, he pushed himself to his feet, shaking with the blood pouring out of him. He spat the Alpha's blood onto the ground by his feet. "I will never be your victim again." He warned watching as Adam's murderous expression narrowed in on him. "I would rather die."
"That can be arranged!" Adam howled charging towards Sam with his claws and teeth focused on his throat. The omega lowered his body ready to be on the defensive however just as Adam was about to reach him a white blur knocked the Alpha onto the floor.
…
Dean pinned Adam to the floor, his paws pressed down on his shoulders adding more pressure with every movement the young Alpha tried to make. Blood continued to trickle down his forehead but all he could see was his mate's blood littering the floor. His limbs shook and he was working on pure adrenaline that was increased with Sam's fear. He wasn't going to let his brother get to his mate again not when there was breath in his body. He bared his canines itching to tear Adam's throat out and be done with him once and for all. He leaned down about to go for the killing blow when the sound of a gun cocking had his attention drawing to the gathering crowd behind him.
"Did you really think I would come here with just Gordon?" Adam asked. "Dean you and I both know I don't like getting my hands dirty."
Dean's eyes flashed dangerously, all around him his pack was starting to be herded by about thirty were's all with weapons pointing at them. Benny was forced to the front, his head was drooping with blood dripping down from his fangs, dead man's blood he imagined. Bobby and Ellen were front and centre along with a bloodied Dr Novak, his previous black suit had been switched to green scrubs that was redder than anything else. They were all forced to their knees in front of him, looking at him with hope in their eyes.
"I would suggest you get off of me or see one of their brains splatter," Adam taunted at the same time the were's cocked their guns. They probably had enough bullets to wipe out the whole pack if they wanted to. Reluctantly Dean backed off, stepping in front of his mate who was staring at the scene with wide eyes. "Good glad to see you can still take orders." The younger Alpha laughed as he pushed himself to his four feet, he peered round at the crowd. "Dr Novak what a pleasure it is to see you again, been keeping you busy have I?"
Dean glanced at the Dr, who wasn't saying a word, his eyes were downcast and there was a red rim around them that did not seem to be from blood. His hands were twisting together, a tell that he had to show that he was about to break bad news. Letting out a shaking breath Dean didn't need to be told…his father…the pack seeming to have caught onto the news all stared with open mouths with silent tears running down their cheeks. "I tried," Dr Novak exclaimed his eyes connecting with Dean's. "I promised…I…couldn't…" he stammered off words seeming to fail him.
"Well this is interesting," Adam added turning his attention back to Dean he signalled to the gun men who lifted their weapons slightly but never once took their fingers off of the trigger. "I guess that makes you brother the new Alpha." His smile widened showing his full set of teeth.
Dean straightened his back, staring into his brother's eyes imagining all the ways he was going to kill him, the only thing he knew was that it was going to slow and painful for as long as he could drag it out for.
"Got nothing to say?" Adam asked tutting. "You always have an answer for everything the great Dean Winchester. No one could ever compare to you, I tried but father and mother…not like it matters they are dead now."
"This is between us, let my pack go," Dean interrupted taking a step closer to his brother to which the intruder were's replied by lowering their guns towards him.
"Your pack, quick to step into father's shoes aren't we," Adam laughed. "I offered both of you a deal, neither one of you saw fit to do things my way so now the real fun can start." He nodded at the nearest were who grabbed one member of the pack and shot them clean in the head with no warning. His family screamed out as his cooling body fell in front of them. "You hand me the pack and I won't spill more of their blood. Every minute you refuse another one will die. It's your choice Dean…I mean Alpha."
Dean turned his head to the side, his eyes connected with his mate's. Sam was shaking his head slowly; his eyes were filling up with tears. He managed a small smile in encouragement, there was only one way out for them, there was one common reason why they kept being put in this situation and it was about time that he did something about it. For the good of the pack and for the good of the little family he had left. He had to protect the ones that he cared about for the last time.
'I love you Sammy, always.'
Closing his eyes, he let out a deep breath. "Ok," he replied opening his eyes to see Adam's surprised expression.
"I thought we would get through at least a few more bodies before you gave up, wow you really are weak."
"I meant when I said no one else was going to die for me."
"Now you talk sense, it's about time." Adam walked towards Dean, his snout rubbing against the elder Alpha's. Their eyes boring into one another's. "You stand in front of your pack and you give them over to me, you renounce all claim and titles."
Dean turned to face his pack, their eyes staring at him in horror and disgust. He knew what he had to do. He knew that this would be the only way that he could make sure that they would be safe from the danger that plagued their ranks. They didn't deserve any of this. They didn't deserve to have an Alpha like him.
"I'm sorry," Dean told them a small smile crossing his face.
In one movement he turned on his heels, leaping at Adam he sank his teeth deep into his throat. He could hear the pack yell for him, he could hear Sam's horrified screams, and he felt something sharp slice through his temple and then…then…nothing…
…
Sam fell to his knees shifting, wading through the blood he collapsed by his mate's side. Pain racked through his body, he could feel his soul dying. The bond he shared with his Alpha was fading fast no matter how hard he tried to hold onto it.
Fire was raging around them and the pack was screaming though he was pretty sure he was louder than them all combined. His shaking hand reached out to turn his mate to face him, Dean's green eyes stared up at him, the light being snuffed out while blood seeped out of the hole in the side of his head. Sam's own vision was fading; the only consolation was that he wouldn't long outlast his Alpha. His hands grabbed at Dean's body and pulled him into his chest burying his face in the man's hair.
Behind him Adam was screaming something, his voice strained due to the fact that half of his throat had been ripped out but clearly not enough. Sam didn't care anymore. His whole life was dying in his arms and he didn't know what he could do. He felt someone pull at his arms trying to get him to move. That one person turned to multiple people as they forced Dean away from him, throwing his body to the ground like he was nothing more than shit on the back of their shoe.
He felt them spreading his legs.
He felt Adam press up against him.
He felt the moment that he pushed in but it was like he was experiencing it through another person. His mind had left the second his Alpha had. His strength was fading as Adam took it to heal himself, his wound too grave for him to do himself.
"I always win," Adam's human voice whispered in his ear.
Sam's eyes flew closed, he clenched his jaw shut trying to keep his body still through the rocking motions happening behind him. The image of his Alpha was clear in his mind, Dean.
All around him the pack was being rounded up and forced to submit to their new Alpha and Omega.
…
In the commotion and the dying fire the dynamics of the pack was changing forever. Not one of them noticed that where Dean's dead body should have been lying was a single tuft of white fur…
FOUR YEARS LATER…
