Burned Once, Never Again (Niamh and Castiel)

Castiel's anger flared as he turned to face Niamh.

Niamh stood up and crossed her arms, looking right back at him.

She knew that divorcing Castiel on this day was no longer feasible. However, Macy would be kidnapped the next day, and she had to ensure he was with her to avoid being framed for the crime

""You're quite something." Castiel couldn't believe she would threaten him.

"Likewise." Niamh retorted.

Castiel tried to explain, "It's not as the rumors say. I'm not involved with her in that way.".

"I don't care about your relationship with her right now. Either we get a divorce today, or you stay here and think about it."

Castiel's fists clenched in frustration. He stared at her and didn't want to say more. Niamh had always been a challenge to calm when she was upset, and now she needed space to think. Chapter 6
