Summary
Dean's been on his own for as long as he can remember, fending for himself and struggling through heats alone. The last thing he wants after his tumultuous past is an Alpha, but the heats are getting worse and the winter is particularly brutal. There are rumors of an Omega camp run by a mysterious and uncharacteristically kind Alpha, and Dean finds himself drawn to the scent of Castiel, who welcomes him into the camp with open arms.
Dean remains wary of the Alpha despite his seemingly calm nature, but he becomes increasingly interested in the enigmatic Castiel. Together they help each other overcome events of the past and attempt to live and love again in an unforgiving and broken world.

Summary
Dean's equally exciting and terrifying news are forced to take a backseat for Castiel as he struggles to find the Omega ring for which his Omega's abuser was recruiting. While Cas is away, Dean grows closer to Eileen- also expecting her first pup- and her Alpha mate, Sam, which gives him insight into his foggy past and a glimpse into his future.
The increasing time apart proves difficult for both Dean and Castiel, leading way to feelings of inadequacy for Dean and discomfort in his rapidly changing body. Meanwhile, Cas fears that spending so much time in his wolf form while searching for the imprisoned Omegas will drain away his humanity...and ultimately lose him his mate.

Summary
“You’re sure about this.”
“I’m sure.” Dean pulled at the cord holding the bullet around his neck, sliding the bullet from side to side. He nodded definitively and tucked it into his shirt, laying a hand over it, pressing it to his chest. “Been waiting a long time for this, Cas.”
Thing is, Dean didn’t see any of it as a risk. This was opportunity, a beginning, stepping into something that he felt in his gut he was meant to do, to be. He wasn’t the least bit scared, or hesitant. His blood pumped furiously in his veins, his skin itched, and his muscles were tense. Ready to move, run. He finally had his body back; his chest was flat, his stomach free of pregnancy fat, and most importantly his mind was clear and focused. He knew what he wanted, needed, and he knew Cas needed it just as much.
Dean glanced up at the moon, full and bright, the only thing he would have to light his way. He looked back at Cas and for just a second- so quick Cas almost missed it- those green eyes glowed under the light.
“Come and get me, Alpha.”

Summary
The sharp whip of the wind, the varied texture of the ground beneath his feet, the pathway illuminated by moonlight, the urge to sing to it…
It was always easiest letting his instincts have control, and Dean often silently mourned the years prior that he wasn’t able to have this freedom. Sometimes, he was envious of Cas in that regard, of all the decades he’d been afforded this luxury, all the years he’d had it before Dean was even a thought. Surrendering to instinct felt so natural, so fulfilling, so...pure. He was one with nature, one with Cas, one with existence. The living, the inanimate, life and death...it all began and ended with him.
With them.
