After taking Michael's advice Dean started proactivly courting Cas till, like Gabriel and Sam, they kicked the pack out of the house so they could ride each other in peace durring the omega's heat. Instead of booking a hotel this time Michael pulled out a set of keys he had recived from Balthazar that opened the door to a huge ass lake house on the edge of the Shurley pack's old territory.

"How the hell did you know about this place Michael?!" Gabriel gaped as the pack spread through out the house

"Father bought it for Lucifer and I. Don't worry he doesn't know about this place I had Balthazar hold on to the keys till I could surprise him with it but he sort of went power hungry after he hired Lilith. So here we are some years later using it to hide from him whlie Castiel gets lucky." He chuckled darkly before locking himself in the master suite.

Michael stayed in his room for a few days hardly leaving and taking his meals there till Bobby, Ellen, and Sam finally had enough and forced Gabriel and Balthazar to sit down and listen

"What the hell is wrong with you two knuckleheads?!" Bobby barked leveling the alpha and beta with a glare

"You're brother has been locked in his damn room since we got here yet you two act like he doesn't even exist!" He added before Ellen placed a hand on his shoulder

"The kid just survived an assination attempt at the hands of his mate's secretary, pregnant with said mate's pups, and is now being dragged through bad memories because we're hiding out in their house." She told them before Sam spoke up

"Look I get he's not blood to you Gabriel but he is to you Balthazar. You should really make sure he's ok." He sighed while Crowley listened from the hallway before walking off smiling as an idea started to form.

...

It was about a week later that Crowley arrived for an interview with one Lucifer Shurley about becoming his new tailor. He had only told his mate his plans to infiltrate the rival alpha's territory and find out exactly what he had planned for Sam and to see if somehow he couldn't end up leading him to Michael instead before the pups arrived. The tailor had disguised his pack scent so he came across as a mated loner instead of a member of the rival Winchester pack and used his gift with a silver tongue to gain Lucifer's trust and himself a job.

"Normally I don't use tailors but after seeing your work I must admit I was impressed." Lucifer mused while Crowley fitted him

"Well every big name CEO needs a sharp looking suit." The smaller alpha chuckled having already sent Lilith from the room not wanting the little bitch around

"So is there anyone special in your life Mr. Shurley?" He asked as he worked

"Special?" Lucifer repeated as he thought "Maybe once a long time ago there was, but now it's mainly the business and personal problems." He replied thinking of taking Sam from Gabriel but only finding memories of Michael instead leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. Crowley noticed his new boss slip away from the real word and finished his task hoping that Lucifer was thinking of a certin sleek black and white wolf instead of a lanky brown one.

Once Crowley had finished for the day Lucifer sat behind his desk with his chair facing the window watching the sun set on his city as his fingers ghosted over the old scar at the base of his jaw. The mating mark had faded a bit over the years but it was still there proving the claim the older wolf had on him, but Lucifer had to be selfish and ruined their bond by cheating and neglecting one person who really ever mattered to him.
