    Summary

    Anna looks at him sympathetically from her spot beside him. “You guys were just kids,” she murmurs, and the pity in her voice irks Castiel.

    “Yes, we were. And look how that turned out. I’m 28 years old and already divorced.” He wishes he didn’t sound so bitter. It would help, maybe, if he felt less like a giant cliché, a walking billboard that said Don’t Marry Your High School Sweetheart!

    Summary

    Family duty sent Castiel Novak home for his estranged uncle’s funeral. While helping clean out the home office, Castiel comes across an old contract, between his uncle and Castiel’s high school sweetheart, Dean Winchester. A contract stating that unless Dean leaves town, Castiel would have to forfeit his inheritance.
    Castiel and Dean had plans. To travel, write, get married, and have a family. Instead, Dean had inexplicably disappeared without a word, leaving Castiel behind, brokenhearted. And now he knew why.
    When Castiel’s Aunt Amara reveals that she knows where Dean is, the successful Sci-fi writer is determined to seek him out and to hear his side of the story.
    Even if it’s fifteen years too late.
    To say Dean is shellshocked when his one true love walks back into his life is an understatement. Leaving Castiel was the hardest thing Dean ever had to do, even if it had been for his own good, and he couldn’t be sorry for it.
    The only question was, would Castiel forgive him anyway, for a second chance at love?

    Summary

    When it mattered the most, Alpha Dean Winchester failed to stand up for his mate, Omega Castiel Novak, and for their relationship. Rejected, Castiel disappeared, leaving Dean to live the next five years with overwhelming guilt, drowned by an apology he could never give. When their high school throws a reunion, Dean hardly expects to see Castiel there -- but fate has its own plan. Discarded by his mate and angry, Castiel seizes the opportunity to tell Dean exactly what he’s been through. But sometimes, the other road has been just as hard. They can never go back and change what happened, can never get their lost years back. But maybe they can fix what was broken, because sometimes, it’s never too late.
