The Throne and the Wolf (BakuDeku)

Chapter 9: The Second Trial

He had another restless night's sleep. These dreams were getting the better of him. The Omega woke, panting and dripping with sweat. He reached down and felt between his legs. Yes, as he suspected, there was slick covering his lower half. How was he supposed to manage these dreams? Especially, when the second Trial was taking place today. He would have to be there with the Alphas as they fought for his favour and to get one step closer to being his mate and husband.

Last night's dream happened in the same location as the rest. They were in a beautiful bedroom, with crimson curtains and throws spread out across the wooden floor. A large bed stood in the centre of the room, a roaring fire helping to set a sultry mood for the two of them. The blonde Alpha had taken him several times, making the innocent little Omega bush profusely. Yet, the dream always ended the same. When the blonde Alpha was about to bite and mark him, he awoke.

He hadn't chosen an Alpha yet, though there were two that did stand out to him. Those two Alphas would without doubt be fighting against one another today. He had to admit that he was somewhat interested in both of them. Prince Todoroki had been nothing but nice to him. He had protected him and he had been the one to rescue him from the three scary Alphas.

He had been thinking about his time with the scarred Alpha. Izuku thought it strange that he had not been hurt and they had almost looked after him. He had been kidnapped, yet he hadn't been locked in the type of cell he had read about in his books. He had been somewhat comfortable and they had fed him.

And then there was Prince Bakugo. He was definitely handsome and made him feel hot and sweaty. However, he was brash and arrogant and had not given a good first impression. Though Izuku had to admit that he had been trying recently. The Omega thought back to the look on his face after he had been rescued. He had looked heartbroken, there was definitely raw emotion in those crimson eyes and that had touched him deeply.

A shout at his door knocked him out of his thoughts.

"Prince Midoria, are you decent?" his best friend shouted before stepping into the Omega's chambers.

"If I wasn't would that have really stopped you from coming in?" Izuku turned his body to fully face the door as the Beta entered.

"Very true," she smiled and went to sit with him on the edge of his bed. She was careful not to alter the blankets, an Omega's nest was precious to them. "How are you feeling? I know that the Palace Doctor has checked you over, but how are you feeling?"

Izuku paused, how was he feeling?

"I'm doing alright, they didn't hurt me and I was only there for a few days before Prince Todoroki rescued me." The Omega twiddled his fingers but couldn't quite meet Uraraka's eyes.

Uraraka was quick to notice his change. She moved a little closer.

"And how are we feeling about Prince Todoroki? It was very brave of him to rescue you, I heard that he took a handful of his Alpha guards to assist. I was surprised that he hadn't spoken to the King, I know that he would have gone with him if he knew where you were being held."

Izuku thought that it was a little strange, the whole experience had been a little odd. He was, however, relieved to be home and safe.

"Prince Todoroki...I do like him. He is kind and intelligent. He did indeed rescue me and I find his scent pleasant. Yet, my Mother spoke to me the day before I was taken. She warned me about his father, and she is concerned that the Prince might have similar personality traits. I am drawn to him though, maybe the trial today might help present more of his personality. I would like to spend some more time with him. Though I expect to never be left alone ever again."
