Castiel’s P.O.V

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about you, developing something for Damien,” Stephan rolled his eyes. “Let’s not beat around the bush, kid. We both know what’s happening, and if you take my advice, it’s better to stop that right here and now.”

My mind was tangled in knots, trying to piece together fragments of a puzzle that felt like it would never fit together. I tried to think about what Stephan was telling me, really listen to his words and try to keep my feelings aside.

Damien. The enigma. The man who had imprisoned me, and yet managed to saved me at the same time, kept himself locked behind a wall of silence and steel. 

Stephan stood beside me, his gaze fixed on the horizon, with a posture that mirrored my own. He had been Damien's confidant long before I entered their world—a link to the past that seemed to h

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 31: Angels Don’t Belong With Devils

    Castiel’s P.O.V The morning light poured through the thin curtains, nudging me awake. I blinked at the unfamiliar ceiling, taking a moment to remember where I was. It didn’t take long for last night’s events to rush back into my mind.Groaning, I sat up, ruffling my hair as if that would wipe away the memory. Negotiations. Reed and Damien. As long as that wasn’t done, we’d be stuck here for god knows how long.I swung my legs off the bed and stretched, my muscles stiff from tossing and turning all night.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts.“Come in,” I called out, already knowing it would be Stephan. He had a knack for timing.He stepped in, his face bright and eager. “Good news. The deal’s done. We’re heading out this afternoon.”I blinked at him. “Wait, what? When did that happen? I thought we were supposed to stay another day.”

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 32: Deal’s Off

    Castiel’s P.O.V The car’s engine hummed steadily as we cruised down the road, the scent of leather and faint cologne hanging thick in the air. I leaned back in my seat, turning my head to Damien, who sat beside me. He hadn’t said much since we’d left the estate, but that wasn’t unusual for him. Damien only spoke when he had something worth saying.“Did you manage to do it?” His voice broke the silence, smooth but firm, cutting through the dull sound of tires against asphalt. He didn’t look at me when he asked, but I could feel the tension in the car.I nodded slowly. “Yeah, I did.”“And?” His brow twitched, his tone shifting to something more curious. “What did you sense?”I hesitated. How could I even begin to explain what I felt back there? It wasn’t something you could j

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 33: Collision Course

    Castiel’s P.O.V The car swerved violently, throwing me against the door as it careened down the winding road. My heart leaped to my throat when we narrowly missed a speeding SUV coming from the opposite direction, the headlights blinding for a split second before we were past. The screech of tires echoed in my ears, my pulse hammering so loudly I could barely hear my ragged breathing.“Dammit!” Stephan cursed from the front seat as he gripped the steering to steady himself, but the car was no longer under manual control. “This thing’s out of control!”The vehicle didn’t slow, weaving dangerously between lanes as if it had a mind of its own. My hands clawed at the door handle, uselessly trying to pry it open, but it was locked tight. Trapped. We were completely trapped in this mechanical death trap, and there wasn’t a damn thing we could do about it.

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 34: Hidden Strength

    Damien’s P.O.V The oppressive heat inside the car pressed down on me like a suffocating blanket, but I forced myself to focus. I couldn’t afford to lose control now. My palm pressed flat against the cold metal of the car door, and I concentrated on summoning my power. The familiar sensation of heat started to build in my chest, a flicker of red flames curling behind my closed eyes. It wasn’t enough yet. I needed more, and I needed it fast.Reed’s power was all over the car, threading through every electrical circuit like a silent predator. I could feel it, sharp and invasive, a cold blue light that clashed violently with the warmth of my energy. Every time I pushed, he pushed back harder, the sparks of his power zapping across my connection like static shocks. My jaw tightened, my teeth grinding together as I summoned everything I had."Damien, what are you doing?" Castiel’

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 35: Compulsory Tests

    Castiel’s P.O.V The Synclair mansion felt quieter than usual as I walked down the long corridors toward the infirmary. The soft hum of distant voices and the faint echo of footsteps were the only sounds accompanying me.As per Damien’s strict instructions, Stephan had gone ahead for his blood test, and now it was my turn. Dr. Andrea had insisted on testing everyone who’d attended the meeting in Chicago—just in case something sinister had been slipped into the food or drinks. I didn’t think it was necessary, because if there was indeed something in the food then we’d have felt it by now, but Damien’s orders were non-negotiable.But the earlier incident had left a scar that wasn’t visible to the eye, and I was still reeling from the aftermath. The sight of watching the car blowing to splinters before my eyes, the crash of the other car, the loss of four lives…it all felt almost surreal.

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 36: Sending Her Away

    Castiel’s P.O.V I stormed down the corridor, my mind a swirling storm of anger and fear, and by the time I reached Damien’s room, my blood was boiling. I didn’t bother knocking—I shoved the door open with enough force to make it slam against the wall.Damien was standing near the large glass window; phone pressed to his ear, his tone calm as he spoke to whoever was on the other end of the line. That infuriating composure of his only fueled my rage.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I demanded my voice a shout that filled the room.He held up a finger, silently signaling me to be quiet as if I were a child throwing a tantrum. “Yes, I’ll handle this,” he said into the phone, his tone clipped. “We’ll discuss the details later.”I didn’t care who he was talking to or how important the call was. My vision tunneled on him, and

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 37: A Promise of Safety

    Castiel’s P.O.V I stood outside Celia's door, my hand hovering over the doorknob, unsure if I was ready for what was about to happen. The conversation with Damian replayed in my mind, but it felt so distant, like a sound from another life.Sending Celia away was supposed to be the right thing to do. But no part of me felt that way. My stomach churned with guilt, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was about to break something precious, something that could never be fixed.I took a deep breath and turned the knob, pushing the door open.Celia was sitting on her bed, her shoulders slumped, her eyes fixed on the floor. She looked so small, so fragile in that moment, like a lost child in a world she didn’t understand. Her silence hit me harder than any words could. I wanted to walk over to her, to tell her everything was going to be okay, but I didn’t know if it would be.The moment she sa

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 38: Something Shifted

    Castiel’s P.O.V The soft hum of Celia’s breathing filled the small room as I sat beside her bed, watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful, her tiny hands clutching the edge of her blanket. For a moment, I felt a pang of guilt—was I doing the right thing by sending her away? She deserved safety, stability, and a chance to grow without the constant shadow of danger looming over her.The clock on the wall ticked softly, the only other sound in the room. I glanced at the time. It was well past midnight, but I couldn’t bring myself to lie down. Instead, I ran my hand over her packed bags, neatly arranged by the door. Everything was ready for her departure tomorrow. Everything except me.A deep sigh escaped my lips as I stood, my gaze lingering on Celia for a moment longer. “Sleep tight, kiddo,” I whispered, brushing a strand of hair from her face. She murmured something incoherent but didn’t wa

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 129: Some Explaining to Do

    Damien’s P.O.V The tires of my car crunched over the gravel driveway, a familiar sound that usually filled me with a sense of calm. Today, however, the weight of the impending conversation with Castiel hung heavy in the air, pressing down on my chest like a stone. I could already feel the tension building, even before I stepped out of the car.As I made my way to the front door, I spotted Stephan pacing in the yard. His movements were sharp, almost frantic, and his eyes flicked to me the moment I reached the driveway.He didn’t waste a second. “He knows,” he blurted out, his voice edged with frustration.I raised an eyebrow. “How bad is it?” I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral despite the knot in my stomach.Stephan hesitated, glancing toward the house as if he were afraid the walls themselves might be listening. “I can’t say,” he muttered, stepping closer to me. “But

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 128: Meeting Gabriel

    Damien’s P.O.V I step out of the car and feel the cold wind cut through my jacket, sharp and unforgiving. The house looms in front of me, a fortress of stone and steel, hidden in plain sight. My security team is already surrounding the perimeter, their eyes scanning every inch of the property. The tension in the air is palpable. Something feels off, even though nothing has happened yet.I approach one of the men stationed by the door, his eyes immediately snapping at me as I draw closer. I don't even need to speak; he knows why I'm here. He straightens up, his expression guarded.“Master Damien,” he greets me with a nod. “Everything’s secure, as per usual.”I don’t waste time with pleasantries. “How’s he doing? Gabriel. Has there been any change?”The guard hesitates for a split second, and I don’t miss it. They all know to be careful with their words when talking a

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 127: Lies and Guilt

    Castiel’s P.O.V I take a deep breath, staring at my plate, trying to push back the thoughts swirling in my head. Tanner’s words from earlier still hang in the air, and I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something he’s not telling me. Something he’s holding back.“It’s not like I’m surprised I’ve changed,” I finally say, breaking the silence between us. I look up at Tanner, meeting his gaze, and can’t help but let out a small laugh. “Meeting Damien was a life-changing event. It had to be. I mean, I didn’t exactly walk away from him unchanged. But things are different now.” I pause, thinking for a moment. “I think *he’s* the one who’s changed the most. And not in a way anyone was expecting.”Tanner nods slowly, his expression thoughtful. He takes another sip of his coffee, his eyes lingering on me as though he’s waiting for

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 126: Can’t Sit Still

    Castiel’s P.O.V I wake up, groggy from the haze of sleep, and immediately notice Damien’s absence beside me. The bed feels too wide, too empty without him. The sheets, however, are still warm, a comforting reminder that he was just here, just moments ago.A soft frown tugs at my lips as I stretch, my muscles sore in the best way—a reminder of everything we shared last night. I can still feel the lingering heat of his touch, the imprint of his affection on my skin. I reach up to touch my neck instinctively, wincing slightly as my fingers brush over a love bite. There’s a collection of them, little reminders scattered across my body, like his silent claim on me.Rolling out of bed, I take a deep breath, still unsure of what time it is, but I can already feel the pang of concern creeping in. Damien doesn’t usually slip away so quietly. The quietness feels too much like a warning, even though I know he’d never in

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 125: Reflection of Desire

    Castiel’s P.O.VWhen Damien told me that he wanted lots of ‘practice’, he wasn’t kidding.I never imagined that surrender could feel so complete until Damien showed me this side of our passion. I sit on a comfortable chair, my wrists securely bound with soft leather straps, and I can’t help but shiver with anticipation. The room is dim except for a single mirror positioned perfectly before me, reflecting every inch of our shared desire. I close my eyes for a moment, trying to steady the quickened beat of my heart, and then I feel his presence behind me—firm, insistent, and utterly commanding.“Castiel,” Damien murmurs, his voice low and rough with intent. “Tonight, I want you to watch every move, every shift of pleasure in your own eyes.”I gasp, a mix of apprehension and excitement surging through me. Even now, as my hands are restrained, his words remind me how deeply he understands my need for vulnerability. I turn my head slightly, catching a glimpse of the mirror. There I am—nake

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 124: One of those Exceptions

    Castiel’s P.O.VI was still reeling from the closeness of Damien’s presence as I lay there, half in awe and half overwhelmed by the intense heat of the moment, my thoughts scatter like leaves in the wind when his steady, measured voice cut through the haze. “So… is that really what you want?” he asks, his tone gentle but insistent.I blink, trying to focus on his eyes, still alight with a mix of desire and genuine care. My body is alive with the sensations of his touch, and even now, with him straddling me and his shaft buried inside me and his passion still evident, I feel a complex mix of longing and uncertainty. “What do you mean?” I manage, my voice catching slightly as I search his face for clues. The air between us is thick and heavy with unspoken possibilities.Damien shifts slightly, his eyes locking onto mine with a seriousness that belies the intimacy of our position. “I mean… do you want children?” he says softly, almost as if testing the waters of our shared future. “Not r

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 123: If I were an Omega…

    Castiel’s P.O.VThe quiet of the house was starting to feel heavy, oppressive even, as the minutes stretched on and Damien still hadn’t come back to bed. I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling in my chest—something about the way he’d seemed so distant earlier, so wrapped up in his work, unsettled me. I knew how he could get when he threw himself into his responsibilities, but tonight felt different. Maybe it was because I wasn’t used to him not being beside me, the space between us feeling larger than it should.Or maybe it was the lingering fear that still pressed in my mind that I had come so close to losing him, losing what we had, that being apart from him was suddenly an unsettling thought.I never thought I would get this dependent on someone, this addicted and clingy. But it seems like fate had others plans for me.After what seemed like an eternity, I finally decided to check on him. The hallway w

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 122: Respect For Who You Are

    Castiel’s P.O.VThe night air was cool, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves around the pool as I sat there, letting my thoughts drift. The soft glow of the water reflected the lights of the estate, casting a peaceful glow over the surroundings. The buzz of activity from the house had quieted, leaving only the hum of crickets and the occasional rustling of the leaves in the wind.Damien had retreated back to his office after dinner, diving into business as usual. It was almost like a routine for him, though I knew it was more than that. He had a lot on his shoulders, and sometimes I wondered if he ever allowed himself to just relax. But for now, he was doing what he did best—keeping everything running smoothly, making sure the empire he built didn’t falter.I leaned back against the edge, the soft sound of the water lapping at the edge of the pool soothing in its own way. There was a part of me that couldn’t shake the weig

  • The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse)   Chapter 121: Moving Forward Without Fear

    Castiel’s P.O.VI listened in silence, letting Damien’s words sink in. The complexity of the bond between him and Elijah began to take shape in my mind, a twisted tangle of past events, pain, and unspoken grudges. I could see now that it wasn’t just a rivalry built on power or status—it was something far deeper, far more personal. Both of them were victims in their own ways, but in the end, it was their refusal to understand each other that had driven them to where they were now.Elijah could have been an ally, I thought. He could have stood beside Damien, two powerful forces working together. Instead, he had chosen a path of blame, one that cast Damien as the villain in a tragedy that was never his fault. It wasn’t fair, but nothing about their situation ever had been. I couldn’t help but wonder how different things could have been if Elijah had simply seen the bigger picture.The silence stretched between us
