"I promise" is something that is thrown around a lot. We all make promises, convince ourselves that we will keep them... But what happens when we can't? 🐝 Castiel X Reader ___________ You are a female hunter, you were friends with the Winchesters when you were younger. But you lost touch, only occasionally checking in on each other every once in a blue moon. After Sam gets trapped in the cage with Lucifer and Micheal, Dean decides to continue hunting, rather than keeping his promise to Sam and live a normal life with Lisa. He just can't drag her into all of this. He and Castiel find a case and he suspects you will be the next victim and that is how your life changes forever. For the better? That's up to you to decide.. ___________ Special thanks to PixelHunterSam on Instagram! Without this amazing person, I would never have published this and probably only written one chapter and then given up. So big praise to this super star!! 💕 ___________ For ages 16+ due to mature themes, including sex, violence and mentions of domestic abuse. If a specific chapter needs a specific trigger warning, I will do so at the beginning of the chapter.

Catherine has always believed that her world could consist of her laptop and decent internet speed, but then life always sticks its nose in and complicates matters. She is forced to constantly cope to change in her coding work and change in her personal life. Ben never let his special forces years get to him until his actions caused the death of an entire village and he was awarded a commendation for it. Now he works with old friends in his own private security company where his rules are law. A government project for Catherine is her chance to prove that her work is legitimate and worthwhile, but uncovering the truth is not always such an easy thing. Exposing the secrets she was hired to reveal could save countless lives, but may cost her own life in the end. This is something Ben cannot allow, on a professional capacity and perhaps a personal one too. If Ben fails in his assignment, he will lose his reputation and the one person that could heal him of his scars. And if Catherine lets her fear rule her, she will never forgive herself. She knows that she could never let others get hurt because of her, but would her involvement with Ben cause them more hurt than either of them could imagine.
