Just Overprotective :Casey:

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Storming into the house after he spoke with Dylan, Alex was pissed. He couldn't believe that Casey went and sought out Dylan, especially since they had fucking talked about it. He told Casey that it was his fault, but Casey didn't listen. Nope, he went to the same damn bar and looked for Dylan. A death eater, who more than likely hung around other death eaters. Slamming the door behind him, he went right to Casey's office, "What the ever living fuck Casey?! Dylan just came to me telling me you sought him out!" 

Did Casey not understand how dangerous that was? While Dylan versus Casey alone, Alex wasn't worried even a single iota about his mate getting hurt, Casey would be able to hold his own for sure in that situation. But alone, in the alley, death eaters and Dylan's buddies favorite hang out spot, hell no. "You went out in the alley looking for him? In the DAMN ALLEY? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Because damn it, that's where you were headed!" It was rare Alex got pissed enough to yell, he didn't ever ever yell. Not with Josh when he did that nosedive, not at Chelsey when she threw her tanturms, not when Casey rejected his idea of the collar, not ever. Right now, he was yelling. 

"You're a muggleborn werewolf, for someone so damn smart, you were pretty bloody stupid entering a place like that, by yourself." Alex narrowed his eyes at his mate, waiting for a response back.

Casey had just finished his work for the day and was now washing the plate he had used for a late dinner. He was tired and wondered what time Alex would come home. Because if Alex came late, Casey would probably in bed by the time his alpha did arrive. However, he was brought out by his musing when Alex DID come home. Angry.

And when Alex began to speak, Casey knew Alex knew that he had gone after Dylan. The little brat must have told him. Not that Casey was hiding it of course. He had dropped the plate on the floor in surprise when Alex had yelled and it shattered to pieces. He sighed and bent down to pick them up.

"I know what I am. You don't have to remind me every time we argue. I know what I did was reckless as well but for me... I did what I had to do. He overstepped his boundaries even if he wasn't to blame for the whole thing. My pride wouldn't allow me to let it slide." Casey explained as he picked up the pieces of the shattered plate, knowing well Alex wouldn't understand him.

[Alex Dean Andrews]

"Remind you? Remi-Excuse me!? Don't act like I throw this in your face all the damn time. I don't. You did something that makes...Bloody, Casey, get up." Alex grabbed his mate's arm, pulling him up from the floor, his concern was not on the plate, broken or not. His concern was his mate was risking his life for no other reason than his damned pride. "You didn't have to do anything, you could have just let it go, or even if you really need to take this out on someone, take it out on me!"

Alex didn't understand why his mate had to take it this far, if it was just the Alley Alex wouldn't be this upset, sure he'd get a little protective, but he wouldn't be this worried. It's the fact that Casey went up to two teenage death eaters, who are in the lowest ranks, who are trying to prove themselves to move up, and Casey was a muggleborn. Casey was a werewolf. If anyone caught wiff of that, not only would Alex's cover be blown, that would but their family at risk. Punching the kitchen wall in frustration, "Casey, your the smartest man I know, but this, this was one the dumbest thing you could possibly do. Two of the people who talked to, are in the lower ranks, they want to move up as fast as they can. They both know you're werewolf, it would only take a little bit more digger to find out your muggleborn too. Does that not bother you?! Something as small as your pride is risking damn it!"

Rubbing his temples, "I've done everything possible to try and make it up to you." Alex looked at his mate, realization hitting him that Casey didn't trust him because him cheating, and Alex wouldn't be able to trust leaving his mate alone in fear that Casey would go looking for Dylan again.

--Alex would have already given Casey the ring by this thread, he gave Casey the ring the night that Alex, Dylan and Casey were all that the bar---

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey was nearly done picking up the pieces of the broken plate when Alex grabbed his arm and pulling him up from the floor. Casey knew Alex wouldn't understand how hard it was for his wolf to allow just an act. He was a beta, that was true. But his wolf was also there. It screamed at him to rip the one that touched his alpha into shreds. He hated it because he never got a moments piece at all. "I know I didn't have to do anything... But it makes me restless to just let it go without proving myelf. You are my alpha, my mate, the father of my pups. My... I couldn't just let it go." Casey said, leaving out the part that his wolf was now angry for Casey lying.

He sighed and threw the broken plate in the trash. He didn't want to fix it. He'd just buy another one when he was out. When Alex said 'something as small as your pride'. it hit Casey in the head. It hurt him that Alex thought that Casey's pride didn't matter. "My pride as your beta doesn't mean much to you then. I don't see this conversation ending well if we keep going. Let's just agree that I did something stupid and end it there. You don't see my pride as your mate important enough anyway." Casey said as he hide his face and washed his hands, the walking pass Alex and headed to his office. He was going to lock himself there

"You did do everything and you already did. This isn't really just about THAT incident. This is about me mostly. But like I said, you don't see it and you might never will see it." Casey said as he stopped by the doorway, his voice heavy and heart breaking that Alex didn't understand.

--Alright!--

[Alex Dean Andrews]

"You're pride mean little to me in comparison to your life yes, it means little to nothing. I would rather you be alive than going about trying to get even or whatever the hell you're trying to do!" Alex moved his hands, as if the gesture would help stress what Alex was trying to say. He couldn't loose Casey, no matter what the situation was. He understood very well that he messed up, he understood that Casey was upset, but risking his life because of fucking Dylan was not okay with Alex at all. "If it was your pride in a fight or your work or even if it was fight with me, fine I got it, whatever, but your damned life?! No, I don't see your pride as more important than risking that. Ever." Alex was so pissed he was seeing red, and when his mate actually walked past him, he got into front oh him, blocking his path.

"If it's not about the damn incident, then what's it about? Dylan isn't even challenging you damnit! The damn kid is scared of you, why do insist on doing this!?" Alex didn't know what to do, but if Casey was going to out and do this on his own, then Alex didn't know what do other than stay here. Which he couldn't do without blowing his cover. Grabbing Casey's elbow, "And stop trying to talk away from me, you can't expect me to read your damn mind if you don't explain anything to me!"

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey knew Alex's temper and why he was mad. He just had too. His wolf was scraming at him. Screaming to tell Alex that he was like being kill inside his own mind for allowing such a deed to happen. Allowing someone else touch him aside from Casey! "Like I said, you and I won't see eye to eye so let's just drop the topic. Your mad, I did what I did, the brat got away, its done. You'll punish me, demand that I obey you and stay out of trouble and I will do so because you ordered it." Casey stated rather monotonously. Like it was a programmed response.

When Alex blocked his way, Casey knew the talk was far from over. Alex demanded to know why? Very well then. "You want to know why I did what I did? My wolf demanded it of me. That as your beta, I had to prove myself that you didn't make a mistake of choosing me as your mate. My wolf was kiiling me each and every day to set it right. To rip apart the reason why my alpha was soiled by unknown hands. That is why I did it. I don't know if you'll ever understand it. I do hope you do. Because since that day, I started dying. I was being murdered by my own wolf until I did something." Casey explained in a dangerously calm tone, expressing that he was no longer angry nor pleased. He was just done for the day.

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Running his hand over his head, he finally nodded. Alex understood, nothing would be able to stop him from killing a man that touched Casey, let along taken it as far as Alex did. "Okay, okay, kill him. But do it outside away from a place where it'll be you against other wizards. As much faith I have in you, I don't know if you can duel more than one wizard at once." When they invaded headquarters here soon, Alex will let Casey have at it with Dylan, and he won't even think twice about it. For the time being though, Alex needed Casey to try and stay down. Or at least get Dylan alone. Grabbing his mate's hand with on hand and the hand by Casey's head, pinning his taller mate to the wall. "When I get you and Maria inside, you can have him. You do whatever you want with him. But now, please, just try to keep it away. The wolf will be tame enough for you until full moon, full moon isn't for awhile."

The next full moon wasn't until the 12th, they had time. Alex planned to invade Riddle's headquarters the day before, so that the wolf was at it's rawest point without fulling morphing. Alex needed his mind to get this done, but he needed the wolf's strength too. "You can kill him, you can tear him apart, you can turn him if you want to baby, just stay down until we get this okay? I do not want to loose you." Alex wasn't pleading, but he wasn't demanding either.

Letting go of his mate's hand, he took a step back, no longer ignoring the word's that his mate first spoke. "I'm gonna go stay with Jason. Obviously you need some time to think, because if I'm just your alpha, and that's all you expect from me, then...I don't know Casey. But do think I'd be this upset if I wasn't right? If your safety was actually at risk?" Alex questioned heatedly, he was going to give his mate some space, he'd come back in the morning. He wouldn't go out anywhere, that ended awfully the last time Alex did that, so he'd stay at Jason's. Looking to where the ring was wrapped around his mate's finger, sighing, before he just turned back to the bedroom to pack a bag.

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey was pissed off now. Alex had the gall to guilt trip him?! The nerve! "Leave and I swear I'll do worse than confront Davenport. Leave the house and you'll end literally see red." Casey warned him. Alex always ALWAYS did this when they had serious arguments: run off to Jason. Casey was placing his foot down.

"Why can't you tell... feel that I'm dying? That every time I remember, I die a thousand deaths every time? I know my time will come to be able to rip him into shreds... But confronting him was something I needed to do to ease my own wolf and pacify it that I am trying to prove that I am worthy of being your beta. That I am strong enough to protect what belongs to me." Casey spoke, his voice sounded so defeated. Why couldn't Alex understand? Was it really that hard?

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Turning back to Casey, it was rare Alex rose his voice, so it didn't happen when he spoke up again, "Should I sit back and watch then? You're not there Casey, you have no idea what they'd do to you if they found about your status. Understanding your feelings is nothing compared to what will happen if you got found out." Inhaling through his nose, trying to find a calmness about it. Licking his lips, shook his head, "I get it okay? I hurt you, I know I did, and I never should have made you doubt you like that."

What the hell was Casey trying to get at? Was he trying to rile Alex up too? "Damn it, are you seriously threatening me with your life?! Are you.. Merlin be...what the hell is the matter with you?" Growling in response, Alex looked around the room, "The full moon isn't that far away, let your wolf take care of it." It was a week away, Alex would easily make it so, make it so Dylan and Casey were around each other during the moon. They'd have already taken over HQ by then. "You want to prove to me your a worthy beta? Stop trying to kill yourself."

[Casey Sam Richards]

"then don't make me feel that every time you leave, its like your leaving me for good! I don't know what's wrong with me right now but everytime you walk out those doors, I feel like your leaving me! I know its stupid! But its how I feel and nothing I do can change it! I'm scared that you'd leave me! That this is all a dream and I'll wake up and your with that brat instead of me!" Casey yelled at him then stopped himself. He was being stupid.

Casey sighed, "You know.. until know, I still ask myself, what the Hell did I do to deserve you? And I ask again, what you did to land someone like me? I'm a tabboo. I'm muggleborn and gay. Yes, the wizarding world has been a bit open but not accepting. Not in public at least but a bit open none the less." he said as he leaned on the wall and slowly slid down on the floor. He was suddenly so tired of everything. Like he had ran five thousand miles and back.
