AN: Another chapter, I hope you like it. Like I said in other stories, I suck at writing fight scenes, so sorry in advance, I tried.

Jensen wanted to continue questioning the human, but he could see that he was exhausted. He didn't know how long he was out there, but he could tell that it must have been awhile. Why would the human go to such an extent to find them? What did he want?

Before he came into his tent, Castiel had told him what they found in the woods. Hearing that a human with an infant was looking for them, he told Benny and Gabriel to set up a tent for their visitors. They weren't the only ones shocked at this, because he didn't normally do this. He would usually question whoever came to them to the point he knew they weren't an enemy. So why did this one time in ten years be different?

He watched as his second in command and best friend show Jared and his child to their 'home'. When he saw the baby he was concerned. Smelling the vampire scent all over Jared, and a small amount on the child, he thought for a moment that he kidnapped her. He quickly dismissed it when he could see the man's body language when he was holding her. No. There was definitely a connection between the two.

As soon as he smelled the vampire scent all over the man, he could smell something else. It was deep underneath the vampire scent. Something he couldn't quite name. It was intriguing. It made his heart swell with an emotion he forbade himself from ever wanting. With everything going on with this 'war' and finding his brother and the kidnapper, he couldn't afford to get himself involved in a relationship.

That was until he walked up to Jared and sniffed him. He didn't know why he did it, because the smell alone should've been enough to tell him what he needed to know. He just knew that he needed to smell that underlining scent. He wanted to run away at the sight he saw once he did.

Jared bared his neck.

He knew right away that Castiel saw exactly what he was seeing. There is only one person in the world that would do that. Despite what the humans believed about alphas and omegas, omegas don't bare their neck to any alpha. They would only do it to their Alpha. Omegas do feel some sense of fear when they're before an alpha, which was why he wasn't surprised at the whimper he heard from Jared.

Feeling a sense of fear towards an alpha was different from baring their necks. It shows vulnerability and they only do that for that one Alpha. No one that wasn't his mate would offer their neck. But it was impossible, because Jared says he's human, and he has the scent of a vampire. It had to be a mistake.

Jensen was brought out of his thoughts when he looked back at the picture that caught Jared's attention. When he came in he wasn't surprised that he was looking around. He would've done the same thing if he were in the same position. Curiosity was a bitch.

That all changed when he saw what Jared was looking at. It wasn't so much as the picutre of him and his mother that angered him, it was more of the fact that not too far away from that picture was one other. One no one but he and Castiel knew about.

He walked over to the night stand and in the corner was the picture. He frowned just looking at it. He hated looking at it, because it was a constant reminder of the biggest mistake he's ever made or ever will make. It was a constant reminder of what he lost.

Jensen felt a tear fall down his face. He angrily brushed it away. When Castiel returned, he expressed his concerns. He wasn't surprised at his response.

"It's not impossible for a wolf to find a mate in a human. You can't fight your mate, but don't forget about our true task."

Jensen was left alone. He fell back on his bed sighing heavily. He turned his head to look at the picture he hated. "Goodnight, Sammy."

Jared was about to collapse from exhaustion. He didn't know how much longer he was going to be able to stay awake. He wanted to stay with Jensen, but not only was he too tired, Blue Eyes had escorted him out. He was shown to a tent and looked inside and saw that it was similar to Jensen's.

"Jensen will come to you in the morning to question you further. Don't get too comfortable, he hasn't decided whether you're going to stay or not." Blue Eyes turned his back on him and left.

Jared checked over Genevieve and laid her down at the far end of the bed. He turned off the light and laid down next to her.

It was strange. He was bone tired, but he still couldn't fall asleep. Jensen didn't say whether he could stay or not, but if that were true why would he give him a tent of his own? He didn't want to leave. It wasn't just because he's always wanted to be apart of the Archangels, but because of Jensen.

He sighed. He's never met Jensen before, but he felt that he has. He felt something between them. It was stupid. He just met him and now he believes that there's some spark between them. Jensen was a werewolf which meant that his mate would have to be one too. Jared wanted something that was out of his reach.

"Please, let me stay." Jared closed his eyes and succumbed to the beauty of sleep.

The next morning, Jared is woken to Genevieve crying. He groaned and leaned over to kiss her.

"What's wrong baby?" He checked her over, but saw that she was clean. He wiped the sleep from his eyes and fed her.

As she was laying there, he decided to wash her. He didn't know if there was a place like that around here, and felt too shy to ask. He took her wipes and some baby wash and cleaned her as best he could.

Once he was done, he took advantage of her lack of crying to clean himself as well. He didn't know where there was a shower, so the same way he cleaned her he did for himself. It felt odd cleaning himself this way, but at least it was something.

It was around the time that he was brushing his teeth that he heard someone coming near the tent. He looked up just in time for Jensen to come in. He spit out the remainder of the toothpaste and greeted the Alpha.

Jensen chuckled and crossed his arms. "You know, we have a tent for all that. You could've just said something."

Jared shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't want to leave Genevieve alone."

Jensen looked at the baby and smiled. He walked slowly up to her in case wanting to see her up close wasn't welcomed, but Jared only watched him. He stared down at the baby who looked up at him. She giggled and put her hand in her mouth.

Jensen caressed her cheek. She grabbed his finger and latched onto it. Jensen laughed. "Is she yours?"

He didn't want himself to have anything romantic, but just the thought that Jared had his own family made his heart ache. If Jared really was supposed to be his mate, he wanted his own family. But he can't make Jared want something that he denied himself.

Jared didn't answer right away. He just stared at his sister. No... he can't say that anymore. He doesn't want to. Since he came back home and had to take care of her, he never saw Genevieve as his sister. He only called her that because that's what his father and brother said she was. But not once did Jared ever feel that she was his sister.

He nodded. "Yeah, she's mine."

Jensen only nodded. "Where's her mother?"

"There is no mother."

Jensen didn't know what to say to that. What did that mean? He cleared his throat. He turned away from the baby and looked at Jared.

"Okay, so you said that Chad and Lilith told you to come here... why? We usually go to those we feel are the kind we need for all this."

"I don't know what to tell you. All they told me was that they were trying to find someone and thought you might know who it is. They told me to come find you and that you can help me."

Jensen's never met Chad and Lilith personally, but he heard they were good for new recruits. He doesn't ever have time to meet the new people, because he's always busy with taking care of everyone and finding anything on his brother.

"Well, we would help you if we could, but that really isn't much to go on. Where are they anyway?"

Jared looked away not wanting to think about what happened to them. Jensen could see what the impact of the question had on him. He rubbed his neck at the uncomfortable silence.

"It's okay, we'll find out what happened to them. Come on, now that you're staying, I might as well show you around."

It was never his job to show the new people around the camp, but Jensen wanted to do this one himself. It wasn't just because of what he felt last night, it was more because he just liked Jared. He wasn't completely positive that Jared was gay, but he did have a hunch. He was praying that Jared was.

Jared was holding onto Genevieve looking around. Now that it was day time, it was easier to see everything. He could see many more tents than he saw the night before. Some were bigger that he figured were for more than one or two people, while others were about the same size as his and Jensen's.

"We don't have enough tents for everyone to have their own, so we have them share. Maybe one day they'll be able to go back to their homes without fear of being taken."

Jensen stopped near the center of the clearing. He crossed his arms staring at him. "With what we're doing, and what we're trying to accomplish, everyone here contributes. Other than the kids, everyone has a job. Everyone you see here is doing something to aid the camp. Those who were doctors or nurses works in Medical. We have some who were police officers, security guards, they go with us on our raids. If you don't have any special skills, we'll put you somewhere."

Jared nodded in understanding. He didn't expect to just stay and do nothing. If that was the case, he wouldn't want to stay. He was impressed with how their system worked. "I would help, I really would, but..." He gestured to his daughter.

"Come with me."

Jared followed Jensen four tents down to a much larger and longer tent. The flap was open and he could hear children's laughter. They walked in, and indeed Jared saw children running around and playing.

Jensen called over a young brunette. The woman walked over to them and smiled at Jared and even bigger when she saw Genevieve.

"Jared, this is Bela. Over there," he gestured to an older woman changing a baby's diaper, "is Ellen. They're in charge of the kids. You can trust them."

Bela shook Jared's hand. "Hello, Jared. Yes, Ellen and I watch the children while the parents are doing their jobs. I'm completely qaulified to do this. Out there I owned a day care center. Ellen is a mother, so she's even more qualified."

"They work during the day. They rotate with Jo and Kevin. You'll meet them later." Jensen said.

Bela held out her hands for Genevieve. "May I?"

Jared could see that everything was running smoothly. It seemed that Bela and Ellen knew what they were doing, but it didn't mean that Jared was looking forward to letting them take her. He knew that he would have to if they were going to be able to stay.

Bela didn't make a move to either take Genevieve or go back to her job. She just stood there waiting patiently. Jensen smiled at him in encouragement, and that's what it took to hand over his baby.

She didn't cry when Jared let her go. It just seemed that she knew that it wasn't permanent. It was like she knew that Jared would come back for her.

"Don't worry, if we need you or if anything happens, we'll come find you."

Jared could only smile. He walked out quickly because if he stayed any longer he wasn't ever going to leave. If Jensen said that he can trust them with Genevieve, then he'll trust him.

Jensen introduced him to several other people on their tour. Jared met Charlie and Chuck who were in charge of getting the word out to the public. He learned that Charlie was a hacker and Chuck was a writer so they knew their way around a computer. They kept tabs on everyone who visited their websites and any enemies lingering about.

"So, what can you do?"

If only Jared knew. He didn't know what he can offer to them. Jared wasn't sure if anything he did or knew would be enough to help them.

"How are your defenses against the vampires and humans you all come across?" he asked instead.

Jensen furrowed his brows at first. He wasn't expecting a question in return. He was surprised at the question. He had to think about that for a moment. Not because he didn't know, but because he wanted to know why Jared would ask that. He believed that Jared was it for him, so he had to trust that he knew what he was getting at.

"Most of us who have trained for a very long time use our wolf form. Some don't use it unless we need to. We train in both forms as well as in weaponry. Although the guns that we have are really for the humans. The humans carry machetes to kill the vampires."

Jared nodded. Maybe he did have some way to help them. "Any casualties?"

Jensen sighed at the thought of all the people they've lost since he's started this whole thing. "Yeah, we do. We've gotten better with our attacks, so at most we suffer injuries."

"Maybe I can offer you something. I come from a family of vampires which is why I smell like one. My father taught me a way to kill a vampire in a more effective way. Have you ever thought about using dead man's blood?"

"Yeah, we have, but we can't ever use it when we go out. We've tried using crossbows, but we only have so many."

Jared pulled out his gun from his back waistband. He took out the magazine and a bullet. He held it out to show Jensen, and pulled it back when he went to grab it.

"It's silver," he warned.

Jensen put his hand down. "It doesn't look like silver."

Jared nodded. "That's because it's coated in dead man's blood. My father taught me how to coat the bullet. When it's coated, they don't exit the body. They stay inside to have a better effect. It'll paralyze them and you can go in for the kill."

Jensen had to admit that it was impressive. Extremely impressive. He took the bullet from Jared and hissed at the pain he felt. But he ignored it since he's handled silver before, because he didn't want it to be used against him.

"Why do you have silver bullets?"

Jared shrugged his shoulders. "Not all werewolves are like you. A human is no match for them. At least with this, I can handle all three." He took back the bullet. "I can show you guys how to coat them. Any bullet will do."

They walked around a little more until they came across an area where humans were fighting each other. From where Jared was standing, he could see they were pretty good. Although, some could improve their techniques, but otherwise they were doing good.

Both stood nearby just to watch until Jensen looked at him. "How's your fighting? I think I want you to come with us when we have to take down one of the government's facilities, but I need to know if you can handle yourself."

Jared didn't know how to respond to that. He wasn't the best fighter in the world, but he wasn't going to undersell himself either. Whenever he needed to fight someone it was always when he had no other choice, just like with his uncle.

He shared his concerns with Jensen which earned him an eyeroll. "If you want to do this, then you need to." Jensen moved to stand in front of Jared a few feet away and took his stance.

Jared furrowed his brows. "What are you doing?"

"I have to see what you're capable of. You have no weapons, and there are no wolves to help you. What are you going to do?"

Jensen moved to strike Jared and he dodged it, but he didn't retaliate. How could he hit Jensen when he really liked him?

"Come on. How can you defend us if you won't fight back?" Jensen when for another hit. Dodged. "Fight back! Don't just stand there just because we're on the same side. I could easily betray you at any moment. Fight me!"

They went on like that for some time. Jensen ignored the crowd that they had drawn. He hardly ever did this. The last time he did this was when he first started this whole thing ten years ago. He needed his men to fight against anything... even a friendly face.

Jared wouldn't fight back, and even tried to move away from him, but Jensen wasn't going to let him go. He knew Jared could easily win this fight if he just fought back, but he wouldn't. He had hit Jared a couple of times, and although it wasn't as hard as he could, he still didn't like it. He would have to try something else, and he wasn't completely sure he wasn't going to regret it.

He shoved Jared back and watched as he fell onto his back. Jensen glared at him. "What are you going to do if I were to go after Genevieve? Right now, I'm not your friend, your leader or your Alpha. Right now, I'm your enemy. And I have my eyes set on your daughter. You going to just stand there? Eventually, you're going to wear yourself out. Eventually, I'm going to make it passed you and go straight to her."

He knew what Jensen was doing, but the simple mention of harm coming to his daughter angered him and he didn't care who it was coming from. Jared growled. Red flashed across his vision. He slowly rose to his feet no longer seeing a man he really liked, but a man who threatened his child. He moved swiftly and quickly. He punched Jensen in the face and kicked his feet out from under him. Jared stood over Jensen and smirked.

"What were you saying? I didn't quite catch that."

Jensen clapped his hands in applause. Outside he was really happy with what he's seen. Not even he expected what happened. But inside, he was very suspicious. The way Jared looked at him before knocking him down was not human. By his face, everything seemed fine, but his eyes... Just looking into Jared's eyes you can literally see the precise moment when he became angry. It was like his eyes changed for a moment. It was similar to a...

That night Jared was in his tent getting ready for bed. He was so happy when he was able to get Genevieve back. After he was done with Jensen, he was introduced to Gabriel who was training the others. Gabriel had seen what he could do with Jensen and asked if he can help with the others. Since it was only him it was difficult to get to everyone, especially since more people had been wanting to learn. He happily agreed.

When Genevieve went to sleep, he walked out to look around. He saw the others calming down. There were still others out relaxing and enjoying themselves. He had wondered why people were up so late in the night, but was told that most of the wolves felt more alive at night.

"Jared?"

Jared turned around to see Jensen coming his way. Now that it was just them, he felt his heart flutter at the sight of the other man. He cleared his throat. "Hey."

"Can we talk? I just wanted to ask you some things."

Jared would've screamed out 'Yes', but didn't want to freak out Jensen, so he simply said 'okay.' The tent next to him lived Bela and Benny. He was rather shocked at the pairing, but he saw them with each other and thought they looked rather good together. He told Bela that Genevieve was sleeping and if she could keep an eye on her. She agreed.

Jared and Jensen didn't speak much, but just enjoyed each other's company. They made their way to Jensen's tent. They walked in and Jared felt warm and comfortable. Jensen stood next to his table with the maps on it.

"What do you want Jared? What do you hope to gain from being here? I know you want us to help you, but if we can't... what then?"

Jared put his hands in his pocket, and sighed. He thought about what he's learned from his mother's journal. He wanted to know more. He needed to know who his family was.

He shook his head, "Honestly, I don't know. Ever since this all started, Chad, Lilith and I have always wanted to help you guys. Wanted a purpose... a reason to get up in the morning. Now, I still want to help you guys. I guess I just want to bring those who are being kidnapped back to their families."

Jensen smiled. "Well, that's what we're trying to do."

"I get that what the government is doing is wrong, and it needs to be stopped. I understand that you all being werewolves you need to help, but why? Why are you doing this?"

A couple of weeks go by and Jared finds himself in a somewhat routine. He's doing what he did the day after he arrived. He helped Gabriel with training the humans and werewolves with their fighting techniques. He was proud of those who were learning quickly, but he made sure they didn't take that as an invitation to be cocky.

Later that day when he visited Genevieve, he saw Jensen talking with Blue Eyes. He wanted to be the one he was talking to. Why couldn't Jensen be gay? Or at the very least interested in men. He's been so busy that Jared couldn't really tell. After that night in Jensen's tent, they've been spending more and more time together.

"You're staring," Danneel said coming up to him looking at Jensen too.

Jared blushed at being caught. "I'm not staring." He walked away from her bouncing his daughter.

Danneel laughed. "You're in love with our Alpha." She didn't even try to make that into anything but a statement.

"No, I'm not." He watched Jensen walk away.

"Don't you lie to me. We all see it everyday when you two are together."

Jared sighed setting Genevieve onto the play mat. "What does it matter? Every time we're together for too long, Blue Eyes always calls him away. Besides Jensen doesn't even seem like he wants me."

Danneel smiled sadly. "Castiel is just protective over him. Ever since they were younger, they've been very close. Ever since-"

Jared looked at her when she stopped talking. "Ever since what?"

"I'm sorry for mentioning it. It's not my place to say. Just know that he wants you just as much as you want him."

Jensen was inside his tent very tired at the day's events. He's learned that Alastair is getting more and more people to help with the 'cure'. His inside contact had told him that he was the target if they wanted this 'cure' to go away, but how the hell were they going to do that? They didn't know much about the man.

He set down his book that was taking him way too long to finish. He rubbed his eyes. They were going to have to go into town for more supplies. It was a good thing they had recruited the owner of the store they visited frequently otherwise they wouldn't have lasted this long.

He was brought out of his thoughts when he saw Jared peeking inside. He's been wanting to tell Jared what he learned on the night he first came, but he wasn't sure if he was ready for it. He didn't want to get hurt if it all went badly, and he certainly didn't want to hurt Jared.

Jared sat down next to Jensen. He opened his mouth to say what he wanted, but his attention was drawn to a picture of two little boys, one who he recognized as Jensen. The other he couldn't see very well. It was very old photo so it wasn't clear.

Jensen saw what Jared was looking at and frowned.

"Who is that?" he asked softly.

"Me and my little brother. He was kidnapped, and I haven't seen him in a long time."

Jared felt regret for ever asking. In the time that they've gotten closer, they've opened up about themselves to each other. He's told Jensen more things he ever told Chad and Lilith and that was saying something. But he still kept the fact that he was born a werewolf to himself. He still wasn't ready to talk about it. Jensen even opened up about his family and himself. But that picture was never brought up.

"I'm sorry."

They didn't know how they were brought to the point they were at, but they somehow found themselves looking into each other's eyes. It was like they were seeing each other for the first time.

Jared didn't know what made him do it, but the way they were looking at each other made him feel brave. He leaned into Jensen, and felt elated when he leaned back. They closed their eyes and felt their lips touch. It was electrifying.

Jensen touched Jared's face deepening the kiss. He guided Jared to lay back not once breaking the kiss. They didn't go for passionate or touching each other. For that moment, they were content with what they were doing.

But then him holding Sam and enjoying the feeling of his brother in his arms popped into his head and Jensen stopped. He could feel Jared's disappointment, but he couldn't go on. He felt terrible for pulling away, but he had to.

Even though they finally kissed after so long, Jared felt rejected. Before he came here, he was talking with Bela. She had convinced him to come here and make the first move, because she said Jensen tended to be slow when it came to romance. He was walking back and forth debating whether to do it tonight or wait. She gave him a push and he finally walked in.

Now... he wished he never left his tent. Now he wished he never put his heart out there.

Jared rose to his feet awkwardly and embarrassed. He cleared his throat, but there was no doubt in his mind that they couldn't hear his desperate attempt at not crying. "I'm sorry."

Jensen hung his head shutting his eyes tight. He knew what he felt toward Jared. He knew he was with his mate whether that mate was a werewolf or not. He wanted this with Jared, but every time he wanted to, Sam always came to mind. It was why he hasn't done anything with Jared.

He wanted to call Jared back and apologize, but all he could do was watch his mate leave in despair.

He laid back looking at the picture of him and Sam. He felt tears stinging his eyes. He brought the picture to his lips and kissed it. Jensen turned out the light and cuddled with the picture.

"Goodnight, Sammy."

AN: Aw, I feel so bad for Jensen and Jared. Did I go to fast? I hope not. I felt like I did. I have no idea how long this story is going to go, but it won't be a very long story, sorry. I really want them to get together, but I'm trying not to go too fast. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. Until next time. -Kauri510
