Chapter 80: Trapped by the Water

2025-01-28 14:44:13Castiel’s P.O.V
I could feel the tension in the air before Dominic even moved, but when he slid into the pool with that damn smirk still plastered on his face and still fully clothed, I knew things were about to get complicated. He was the kind of person who thrived on making everything a game. And right now? I wasn’t in the mood to play.
I exchanged a glance with Stephan, his face tightening as he noticed the same thing I did.
“We should get out of here now,” I muttered, my voice low but urgent. I began to push myself up out of the water, my muscles stiff from the training earlier.
But as I moved to pull my leg out of the pool, something strange happened. It felt like the water was… resisting me. Not in a natural way, like the usual drag of the water, but like something was *holding* me down. I froze, trying again, but no matter how hard I pulled, my leg wouldn’t budge.
“Stephan,”

The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 81: Using Me?
Castiel’s P.O.V As we made our way back to my room, the adrenaline from the confrontation with Dominic started to wear off, leaving me feeling like I had just run a marathon. My legs were still a little shaky, but the worst part was the nagging feeling of unease that wouldn't leave me.Stephan walked beside me, his usual calm demeanor in place, but there was a small smirk tugging at his lips. I could tell he was impressed by how I’d handled Dominic, even though I knew deep down that I wasn’t as confident as I’d let on.“That was impressive,” Stephan said, breaking the silence as we reached the door. “I didn’t think you had it in you to stand up to him like that.”I gave a small chuckle, shaking my head as I opened the door to my room. “Don’t be fooled, Stephan. I was scared as hell. Dominic’s a damn Special Alpha, and he can control water. The guy’s dangerous,

Damien’s P.O.V I sat on the examination table, the sterile smell of the clinic mixing with the faint scent of Andrea’s lavender hand sanitizer. The room was painfully quiet except for the rhythmic tap of her pen against her clipboard. She’d been running her tests for the last hour and a half, and while I had no doubts about my physical recovery, I knew Andrea well enough to realize she wasn’t only concerned with my body.“How am I doing, doc?” I asked, forcing a smirk. “Can I go save the world, or should I start drafting my will?”Andrea glanced up from her clipboard, her sharp eyes narrowing slightly. “Physically? You’re fine. The bullet wound has healed beautifully. Your reflexes and strength are back to where they should be. But—” She paused, and I could already feel the weight of what was coming. “I’m not so sure about you mentally.”I exhaled slowly, leaning back against the chair. “You think I can’t handle seeing Gabriel again.”Andrea’s brow furrowed, and she crossed her arms.
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-30The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 83: Dangers from the Past
Castiel’s P.O.V The water rippled softly around my toes as I let my feet dangle in the pool. The evening air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of jasmine from the garden behind me. Overhead, the stars were beginning to dot the sky, their quiet brilliance a stark contrast to the unease swirling in my mind. Stephan had told me earlier that we were heading to a casino opening this weekend—a party hosted by someone dangerous. The word “dangerous” hung over me like a storm cloud, especially after how the auction involving Reed had went down. I’d asked him why Damien would even consider going to an event hosted by an enemy, but Stephan, true to form, had only offered a vague, “I’ll explain later.”So now, I was here, waiting for him by the pool, trying to enjoy the view and push down the uneasy questions clawing at my thoughts. The mansion looked breathtaking at night, its grand arches illuminated by soft golden lights. The gardens behind me were alive with the gentle hum of crickets an

Castiel’s P.O.VI stared at the stars, their shimmering light blurred by the restless thoughts racing through my mind. Two weeks ago, the memory of Damien calling out Gabriel’s name while unconscious at the hospital had seared itself into my heart like a brand. His grip on my hand had been tight, almost desperate, and though he hadn’t been fully awake, the way his voice had cracked when he said that name… haunted me.And now Stephan stood beside me, telling me that Damien had moved on? It felt like a cruel joke.I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head as I stared at the rippling water. “Moved on, huh? Is that what we’re calling it?”Stephan’s gaze settled on me, filled with a pity I didn’t want to see. “Castiel, I know what you’re thinking—”“No, you don’t,” I cut him off, my voice sharp. “You weren&rsquo

Damien’s P.O.V I hadn’t planned to confront Stephan, not really. But when I found him with Castiel, my mind went straight to anger. The sight of them together—so casually close, so at ease—hit me like a punch to the gut. I knew Stephan was loyal to his fiancé, and I had no reason to question that. But it didn't matter. I was beyond reason at that moment, consumed by a surge of emotions I wasn’t ready to confront.I had nearly walked up to them, ready to say something I would regret, maybe even do something I couldn’t take back. But I had stopped myself just in time. I wasn’t here for this. I wasn’t here to cause more problems, not when I had enough of my own.I had needed some air after the meeting with Andrea. So, I left for the gardens, my mind still a mss from the earlier confrontation. It had only taken a few minutes of walking in the cool evening breeze to get my emotions under control again. But then I had stepped in on Stephan and Castiel in a friendly embrace, and my mood had
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-01The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 86: D-Day
Castiel’s P.O.V A week passed in a blur. It seemed like just yesterday I was sitting by the pool with Damien, laughing at how I managed to get under his skin. But now, the night of the casino opening had arrived. It was finally D-day.I was standing in my room, looking at myself in the mirror, adjusting the tie around my neck. The black suit I wore fit perfectly, but there was something different about tonight. It wasn’t just the fancy occasion—it was everything that had happened between Damien and me. A lot had shifted in those few days, and I wasn’t sure where exactly I stood anymore.As I finished adjusting my cuffs, I heard the adjacent door creak open. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Damien’s presence filled the room like it always did, quiet but commanding.“You ready?” His voice was smooth, almost too calm.I turned, meeting his gaze. He looked as sharp as eve

Castiel’s P.O.V I step out of the car, the night air cool against my skin. I watch Stephan exit first, giving Damien a brief nod before opening the door for him. Damien doesn’t need any assistance, but Stephan is one of those types who takes his duties seriously, always playing the role of the perfect assistant. It’s almost amusing to watch.As Damien slides out of the car, I follow closely behind. The click of cameras immediately erupts in the air, flashes of light from the paparazzi lighting up the night. It’s not an uncommon sight for New York, but to think that a simple casino opening will have such an arrangement is a bit astounding. However, now that I can finally glimpse at the establishment…I can tell that nothing about this event seems remotely simple.Damien doesn’t even acknowledge them, which is exactly what they want. He doesn’t play the game—he never has. And yet, they still follow him, desperate to capture anything they can. It’s a dance, one that’s been perfected f

Castiel’s P.O.V I feel my breath leave me in a slow rush as I stare at Elijah. For a moment, the world around me fades into a blur, my eyes locked on his. My heart pounds in my chest, and the air feels heavier and thicker. There’s no mistaking it—his sharp features, the dark hair, those piercing green eyes. The same cold, unsettling smile.He’s the one…the same man from the hospital rooftop.But I can’t react. Not here. Not now.Because reacting to him will lead to question…questions that I had no answers for.What if he remembers me? What if he says something? The fear gnaws at me constantly, making it difficult for me to breathe. If Damien finds out…NO! I can’t let this happen.I’ll have to explain what happened on that rooftop—how Elijah found me, how we spoke, and the things we said that night. I’ll have to explain to Damien how Elijah had been s

The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Epilogue
Castiel’s P.O.VTwo years later, life had settled into a rhythm. The quiet days of simply living with Damien were now filled with the soft cooing of a little girl, our little girl. Our journey to parenthood hadn’t been the traditional one, but it had been ours, and in the end, that was all that mattered.The decision to pursue surrogacy had been one we made together after countless conversations, sleepless nights, and more than a few tears. It was the right choice, and as I watched Damien cradling our daughter in his arms, I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with emotion.She was perfect. Her tiny hands curled into fists as Damien gently rocked her back and forth, her face still scrunched up in that adorable, baby-like confusion. His deep voice hummed a soft tune as he cooed to her, trying to get her to focus on him. The sight of him like this—so gentle, so tender—always made my heart skip. He had become a complete
The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 152: Our Happy Ever After
Castiel’s P.O.VThe soft murmur of waves filled the air, a rhythmic lull that blended with the distant chatter of guests. A salty breeze carried the scent of the ocean, mingling with the fragrance of fresh roses and lilies. As I stood at the entrance of the resort’s private beach, my heart pounded in my chest. The sight before me was breathtaking.The ceremony space was set on a wide wooden deck extending toward the shoreline. Fairy lights draped overhead, twinkling like stars against the deepening hues of the sunset sky. Rows of white chairs lined either side of the aisle, each adorned with delicate golden ribbons that fluttered gently in the evening breeze. The path itself was covered in a thin layer of ivory rose petals, leading to a grand arch at the end, wrapped in white silk and lush greenery. Soft lanterns cast a golden glow around the space, their reflections dancing on the surface of the water.“You okay?&r
The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 151: You Make my Heart Tremble
Castiel’s P.O.VThe urgency in Damien’s voice had struck me in a way I couldn’t shake off. My heart was already racing as I stood up, the sudden sense of unease creeping up my spine. Without thinking, I turned toward the door and started walking briskly toward the main hall. Stephan was right behind me, his footsteps quick, the same uncertainty in his voice when he asked, “What happened? What did Damien say?”“I don’t know,” I replied quickly, glancing over my shoulder at him. “But his voice sounded…urgent. He said he needed me now.”We reached the entrance to the main hall, and I threw open the door without hesitation. The first thing I noticed was the oppressive darkness inside. The room was completely black, the absence of light making it feel heavier, like a weight pressing down on my chest. My confusion spiked, and I called out for Damien, my voice echoing in the silence.
The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 150: Didn’t Expect This
Castiel’s P.O.VFour months had passed, and yet the night air still carried a faint scent of flowers, a quiet reminder that the world continued on, indifferent to the storms we had weathered. The soft ripple of the pool’s water mirrored the calm that had settled over us, though the memories of everything that had transpired still lingered in the back of my mind.I dipped my feet into the cool water, the sensation grounding me, helping me to keep my thoughts from drifting too far back. The quiet evening wrapped around us, the hum of insects and distant voices blending into the background. Stephan sat beside me, just as he always had, and for a moment, it felt like things were returning to normal, even if the world we inhabited was anything but.“I never imagined I’d get the chance to do this again,” Stephan said, his voice breaking the stillness. He kicked his feet gently in the water, his eyes reflecting a sense of
The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 149: Pride and Rage
Castiel’s P.O.VIt had been two weeks since Damien’s surgery, and though he was much more stable now, the hollow look in his eyes told me there was still a storm brewing inside of him. He hadn’t spoken much since we’d come out of his cabin. Even now, as I wheeled him down the sterile, cold hospital hallway, he was quiet—distant in a way that told me he was bracing himself for something he couldn’t control.I pushed the wheelchair slowly, keeping my eyes forward, not daring to look at him, knowing how the weight of everything that was about to happen must be pressing down on him. I could feel the tension radiating from him, thick and suffocating. When we reached Elijah’s room, my heart sank. This would be the first time I had ever stepped inside it, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for what I was about to witness.I don’t think anyone could be prepared for such a sight.The room was dim
The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 148: Countless Chances
Damien’s P.O.VI woke up with a start, my body jerking forward as I gasped for air, the thick, acrid smell of smoke and fire still clinging to my senses like a suffocating blanket. My surroundings were unfamiliar, the sterile smell of the room replaced by the sharp sting of burned flesh and charred memories.The headache pounding in my skull was the first thing I felt, sharp and unrelenting, followed by an overwhelming wave of pain that made every inch of my body ache like it had been battered by a thousand blows.Where the hell am I?I tried to focus, blinking against the blurry haze that clouded my vision, but it only made the throbbing in my head worse. My thoughts were a mess, disjointed, like broken glass scattered across the floor. I tried to remember what had happened, but it was all a blur of fire, power, and chaos.Elijah.The clash of our powers, the explosion of energy that ripped through the air, followed by the suffocating burn that began to eat away at my skin. It was li
The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 147: Twelve Hours
Castiel’s P.O.VThe harsh fluorescent lights above flickered slightly, casting a sterile glow over the waiting room as I sat there, my new mechanical fingers nervously drumming against the cold armrests of the wheelchair. My back ached from the prolonged stillness, but I barely noticed. I could hardly think of anything except the pounding in my chest and the fear that gnawed at my insides.Twelve hours. Twelve damn hours Damien had been in that operating room. And I was still here, waiting. The kind of waiting that gnawed at your soul, twisted every thought into something darker, something more uncertain. I had to know he was going to be okay. I had to hear it.Stephan, who’d been standing beside me like a constant presence, was leaning against the wall. His arms were folded, his face more composed than I could manage, but his eyes betrayed the same worry. After a long moment, I finally spoke, my voice hoarse, more fragile than I’d intended.“Do you think everything will be alright?”
The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 146: Still Alive?
Castiel’s P.O.VI collapsed back onto the bed, the weight of everything pressing down on me. My body ached, my mind was a fog, and I felt like I hadn’t had a single moment to breathe in weeks. The losses, the endless mess—why did it all have to spiral out of control? I stared at the ceiling, my hands gripping the edge of the blanket like I could physically hold the world together if I tried hard enough.“This could’ve all been avoided,” I muttered aloud, my voice barely a whisper in the room. “If only that stupid fool, Elijah, hadn’t let his rage and selfishness consume him and done things the damn hard way... He brought everyone down with him.”I wasn’t expecting an answer, but Stephan, ever the optimist, couldn’t stay silent for long.“Well, every cloud has a silver lining, Castiel,” he said in his usual tone, one that tried to make everything seem better than it was. “You just need to find it. You’ll see, there’s always something good in all this chaos. You just need to believe it.
The Kingpin's Captive (Omegaverse) Chapter 145: Crashing Back to Reality
Castiel’s P.O.VThe first thing I register is the rhythmic beeping of a monitor, steady and unrelenting, echoing in my skull like a distant drum. Then comes the pain. A deep, bone-deep ache that spreads through my entire body, sharp and unforgiving. Every breath is a struggle; each inhale sends waves of discomfort rippling through me. My eyelids feel impossibly heavy, but I force them open, blinking against the harsh fluorescent lights above. A blur of motion. Voices. “He’s awake!” Footsteps shuffle around me, and suddenly, a group of nurses floods my vision. Someone adjusts the IV drip attached to my arm. Another presses a cool hand against my forehead. Everything feels too loud, too bright. “Where…?” My voice is hoarse, barely more than a whisper. My throat feels raw, like I’ve swallowed sandpaper. “What happened?” “Mr. Castiel James, please don’t move too much,” a nurse says, her tone firm but gentle. “You’ve been through extensive surgery. Try to stay still.” Surgery? I att
