Dark Wolf

Chapter 40 🐺

It's the end of the week, the night before the jousting festival.

Katsuki has been practicing nonstop since he's been home making sure all his skills are in perfect form with the help of his long-time battle trainer.

In between those long training sessions he has spent every minute he can with his new mate, watching him study in his gifted library, taking walks in the now warming spring evenings, checking on the progress of the home that construction has begun on, visiting a blue dragon who picks the prettiest roses he can when a green-eyed omega comes to see him with smiles and head pats. Of course there's always stolen kisses, gentle touches and nights spent locked in each other's arms talking softly till they fall asleep.

It's late now, almost midnight as a tired shirtless alpha stumbles into the large palace kitchen to get a drink and a snack. As he shuffles through the cabinets he hears a noise that makes a blonde brow raise. He turns around, eyes scanning the area for whatever made the sound.

Katsuki has better hearing then most since he's a pure alpha, even better if he puts wolf ears up so that's exactly what he does. Large black wolf ears appear on top of perfect blonde spikes as he twitches them trying to zone in on the noise he heard. He flares his nostrils, smelling the air while he walks slowly around the huge kitchen.

The noise isn't very loud, more of a scratching, scurrying kind of sound he thinks to himself. He stops short suddenly, picking up the scent and sound directly in front of him. He shifts his sights down seeing the culprit is a gray mouse who's trying to break into the flour pantry.

He lifts a brow then smirks as he quickly but quietly shifts himself into a huge black wolf with his muzzle pulled back into a wolfish grin. Quietly He moves towards the small creature hardly making a sound.

Now he stands right behind it, big powerful muzzle just inches from it, a large puff of air the black beast suddenly huffs out ruffling mouse fur making it turn around swiftly now tiny nose to nose with the huge creature with blood red eyes and a canine filled smirk.

Small mouse eyes grow wide as he takes off quickly right between powerful wolf legs trying to make a break for it. The dark beast chuckles as he runs after it, nipping at it right on its heels. He has no intention of killing it, or even hurting it but this kind of thing is fun and one of the perks of this curse he holds.

He chases him out of the kitchen into the dark palace hallway, down the long corridor and right into one of the large receiving rooms made for special occasions and highly distinguished quest only. The mouse makes a sudden turn causing Katsuki to try and quickly change direction but while doing so his paws get tangled in the expensive Persian rug making him slide across the highly polished dark wood floor and crash into a marble top table holding several priceless art pieces from his parents travels. The items fall to the floor creating a large clatter as two of them completely shatter sending glass across the floor in several different directions.

This little fun and game chase has now throughly pissed off a dark alpha who is now growling with narrowed eyes as he quickly regains his footing and is once again on the path of this little shit who outsmarted him briefly.

They fly under a table set up for guest lunches causing the large animal to knock over several chairs in the process. The small mouse sees his opening, racing to the large doors they had barreled through with a dark beast right behind him.

But what that dark wolf doesn't expect is to suddenly see the very angry eyes of his mother who is now standing in the doorway with a scowl as the small creature escapes right between her feet.

It's too late for Katsuki to stop, too late for wolf paws to gain traction all things he's cursing himself for under his breath as he plows right into his mother knocking her back but not completely off her feet.
