Take The Heart I Never Wanted to Give

9

After the ceremony had ended and the citizens went back to life as usual, the royal group made their way to the dining hall for a celebratory brunch. Sam and Gabriel were sitting next to one another with goofy grins on their faces and they quietly talked and laughed with one another.

"Can you go flirt somewhere else? There are people eating and some of us don't wanna hurl," Dean said teasingly.

Sam glared playfully at his brother, flipping him the bird and promptly pulled Gabriel in for a long and loud kiss, their mouths clashing together and fighting for dominance.

Dean fake gagged and covered Adam's eyes who had joined them after the ceremony,

"Gross," Dean and Adam said in unison.

Sam and Gabriel pulled away from one another and glared half-heartedly at Dean and Adam, "Bite me," They both said in unison.

"Oh God. They're already speaking in unison," Lucifer said with an exaggerated gagging noise, "How revolting."

Gabriel glared coldly at Lucifer, "Shut up, Luci."

Lucifer rolled his eyes and popped a cherry tomato in his mouth, "Since when do omegas give orders to alphas?"

Sam growled at this, his eyes flashing bright yellow,

"Oh, you wanna go too, Jolly Green?" Lucifer taunted.

Lucifer abruptly stood from his seat, squaring his shoulders to make himself taller. Sam stood up to his full height with his shoulders squared, making him appear larger than he already was. Both alphas began growling, the volume of their growls rising with each passing second.

"STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!" Naomi shouted. Everyone turned their heads to see a fuming Naomi standing in the doorway of the dining hall.

"How long has she been standing there?" Dean whispered to Castiel who just shook his head and shrugged.

Naomi stormed into the dining hall to stand just a ways away from where Sam, Gabriel, Dean, and Castiel sat, glaring at them all as she went, "You're all acting like children! We have important business to discuss and if you can't behave like adults and future kings, then you'll all be barred from official meetings!" She then turned her cold gaze on Gabriel and Dean, "That goes double for the both of you. You two should know your places as omegas."

Dean narrowed his eyes at Naomi, his lips curling into the beginnings of a snarl, "You know what--" He stood up abruptly, his fists curled into a white knuckle grip.

"Dean, wait-" Castiel warned, his hand coming to rest on Dean's shoulder.

Dean shoved Cas's hand off his shoulder and glared at the blue eyed alpha, "No, Cas! I'm sick of her sauntering around this castle like she owns the damn place and telling me to stay in my place like I'm some kind of peasant!" Dean turned his attention back to Naomi who continued to glare coldly at him, "Don't think for one second that I'm some weak omega that does what any pig headed alpha like yourself tells me to do. It hasn't and never will work so you can—"

Before Dean knew what was happening, Naomi lashed her hand out that struck Dean on the cheek with a resounding slap. Dean staggered back, a stunned expression on his face.

"Don't you <i>dare</i> speak to me that way!" Naomi hissed.

"Hey!" Adam exclaimed. Before anyone could stop him, the young omega prince leaped from his seat and rushed at Naomi, "Leave my big brother alone!" He promptly kicked her in the shin, glaring up at her as he did.

Naomi let out a shout of pain and anger, "You little omega bitch!" She screamed. She backhanded Adam across the face, sending him skidding a couple feet across the floor.

Everyone stared at Naomi in shock, even Michael and Lucifer looked stunned at their mother's antics.

Snapping out of his stunned state, Dean immediately rushed to Adam's side and gently set his baby brother in his lap, calling his name frantically when he wouldn't respond.

"Sam! Sam, Adam's not waking up!" Dean shouted frantically.

Sam snapped out of his stunned stupor, rage slowly bleeding into his expression, "You bitch!" Sam snarled.

Before he could charge at her, Gabriel and Cas stopped him and pushed him back, "Sam don't," Castiel warned.

"But she—!"

"I know, I know," Gabriel said gently, "I'll take care of her, just take Adam and Dean and get out of here. Cas and I will handle her," He quickly pecked Sam on the cheek, urging Sam to leave. Sam hesitated, but eventually moved to help Dean off the floor and took Adam from his arms as all three rushed out of the dining hall. Castiel and Gabriel turned to face their mother who was still breathing heavily and shaking with rage.

"Why the hell did you do that?" Castiel hissed at Naomi.

Naomi glared coldly at her son whilst gathering her composure and smoothing the rumpled out of her dark blue dress, "I will not have that...<i>mouthy omega</i> speak to me like that. He needs to learn his place,"

"It's not your job to put anyone in their place!" Gabriel shouted.

Yet another slap rang out through the dining hall, this time Gabriel's head sharply turned to the side with the impact of Naomi's hand. Castiel flinched violently, even Michael and Lucifer flinched at the impact.

Gabriel fought back the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes and inhaled deeply to keep them at bay. He turned to face his mother, the whole left side of his cheek red and swollen, and his eyes narrowed coldly. Naomi glared back at her son and pointed a stiff finger in his face,

"You will <i>not</i> speak to me that way! I am your mother and your alpha and you <i>will</i> treat me with respect!" Naomi snarled, her eyes flashing dangerously.

"No," Gabriel said coldly, "You stopped being my registered alpha the minute I was given to Sam, which turned out to be a blessing all on its own. He's a good alpha, a great one in fact. Far better than you have ever been or will be. And for the record, you haven't been my mother for quite some time. You lost that privilege a long time ago."

With that, Gabriel strode out of the dining hall to find Dean and Sam, leaving Naomi with a stunned expression plastered on her face. Castiel stood up and followed Gabriel, purposely elbowing Naomi as he went.

"Well," Lucifer said while casually sipping wine from a random glass in his proximity, "Now that that's over, I'm going to go prepare for tonight's "contest". Tootles!" He hopped from his seat and sauntered out of the dining hall, wine glass and three rolls stuffed in his pockets.

Naomi, still stunned into silence, walked stiffly out of the dining hall after Lucifer leaving only Michael to remain there.

Michael reached across the table and grabbed the half full wine bottle and promptly began chugging the remainder of it, cursing his toxic family and their stupidity as he did so.
