    Summary

    Dean Winchester doesn’t want to be a warlock. The idea of working in a lab, channeling demonic magic into enchanted batteries is not what he wants to do with his life, but it’s a dangerous opinion to have—his father was a powerful and well-connected warlock, and Dean is expected to follow the family tradition.

    His only way out is to fail the demon summoning class—failure means expulsion from the Warlock College. Despite Dean’s best efforts to fumble the summoning, it works. Although not the way anyone expects.

    Dean’s demon, Castiel, is an incubus, but also a powerful mage on a mission to rebalance the magic that is being stripped from Demonside by warlocks.

    Dean must choose: fail out of his final exam and turn his back on becoming a warlock, or help Castiel and graduate. But he doesn’t count on how hot the incubus is, or how close they have become in just a few days.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester knows two things about hockey, two things his dad made sure he knew. One, hockey is a guy’s sport, and two, hockey is family. Hockey meant Sam and Bobby and Benny and Victor and Gabriel and hell, his entire team. So when Victor gets traded, Russian-star-turned-new-teammate Castiel Krushnic becomes a threat. As much as Dean hates him for that, the longer he sticks around, the more he begins to threaten that first rule too. Dean’s been taught his whole life that those who play hockey should not be captivated by deep accented voices and the way a guy handles his stick, so how the hell is he supposed to justify what he’s starting to think about Cas? All Dean wanted at the beginning of the season was to win, and now all he wants to do is figure out how he feels about Cas and how to deal with it without ruining his career and tearing his family apart.

    Summary

    His family pack has asked for very little out of Castiel over the years, but now Pack Alpha Michael is requiring Castiel to make an arranged marriage with Dean Winchester, to advance a business deal between the Eden Overpack and the suddenly wealthy Winchester Pack. Castiel obeys but not in good faith.

    Castiel thinks he manages Dean’s expectations very well- he explains that other than conceiving a son together, they will lead separate lives. He might take a lover, he thinks he encourages Dean to do the same. Dean, on the other hand, enters the union in good faith and finds himself ignored, humiliated and neglected at every turn. Then one horrible heat he comes seeking Castiel out for relief, only to see Castiel in bed with his co-worker Hannah.

    Warning- Castiel starts out as a pretty terrible person. I believe he redeems himself by the end.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester was the head muscle and number two in charge of the most prominent and prolific crime syndicate in the area. His name sparked fear, and his presence was enough to make most cower. So for him to be in a police station, and without a troop of lawyers flitting around him, was probably pretty shocking. But for once, he was here on his own business, not the Family’s.

    The family in question, the Morningstar empire, were exactly what you’d expect them to be. White collar crimes backed with violent tendencies. They were rich, powerful, and untouchable. Others called them the “mob” but Dean just called them “The Family” and it was the only business he had ever known. Dean liked to call his position “enforcement,” but really, he was the face of their business. He was in charge of making sure that the money continued to flow in from debts being paid, for fear of Dean coming knocking on their door. He was the Family’s protector, their soldier. And he was very, very good at his job.

    Summary

    Omega Dean Winchester, trafficked in his youth and passed around until he found himself in hell, escapes captivity, knowing that belonging to Alastair is a death sentence and seizing his one opportunity for freedom, but he’s naked, badly injured, and doesn’t even know where in the world he’s been taken. Castiel is a highly unconventional alpha– a writer and nature photographer who shares a house with his equally unconventional brother, a hotshot omega doctor– and when he’s clearing out of the house on one of Gabriel’s date nights, his wanderings put Dean right in his path.
