The Throne and the Wolf (BakuDeku)

Chapter 11: A Late Night Encounter

Did Katsuki feel sore and a little worse for wear the day after the second trial? Did he have himself to blame for how he was feeling? Did he also drink far too much alcohol with Kirishima and a few of the other Alpha guards from the Garnet Kingdom? Yes to all of the above.

He was now slumped over the long table in the hall. He had nibbled away at some form of breakfast. He's pretty sure that he's had some bacon, eggs and maybe a sausage or two. He really can't remember the finer details. What he can remember, however, is the copious amounts of alcohol that he consumed yesterday evening.

He had won the second trial. He had kicked those other extras' asses. Why shouldn't he celebrate? The third and final trial wouldn't be taking place for a few days. He had time to celebrate and enjoy himself. That also meant he had time to continue his pursuit of his fated mate.

Prince Midoria had looked so thrilled when he had won, yes the Omega had shown a little concern that the half-and-half bastard was injured, but he would worry about that at a later date. For now, he was going to focus on the bright smile that was engraved onto his memory. He hadn't spoken to the Omega after the trial had ended. Prince Midoria had been whisked off by the guards and his parents before he had the chance. Hopefully he would get to see him today, though once he was in a more suitable state of mind.

The red haired Alpha sitting next to him groaned as he took a sip of his bitter hot drink. They both had to admit they went too heavy last night. Kaminari had wandered off at some point, he had been mumbling excitedly about that purple haired Alpha. He had not returned. Katsuki knew that he would have to track him down soon, his parents would be enquiring as to his location. The Garnet Kingdom wasn't particularly strict on their subjects, but there were certain expectations that they needed to uphold.

"Stop making such loud noises," groaned Katsuki, lifting his head slightly and attempting to eat another piece of bacon.

"You are the one that started all of this, your Highness. I know my place," Kirishima loved a good party, but they had gone hard last night. "Do you remember any of the evening?" He was trying his best to sit up properly now.

The blonde Alpha shrugged, "I remember the wine. I remember the whiskey and the beer. I don't remember much else. I know I wanted to celebrate, but that mate of yours always takes it too far." He looked around, trying to locate the culprit, but couldn't spot the pink haired Beta.

"What are your plans for today? Are they announcing the Alphas that made it to the final trial?"

Katsuki nodded as he took a sip of his now cold drink. "Yeah, I think so. Though I can't remember what time. To be honest, I have no idea what time it is now."

"Katsuki Bakugo!" a female Omega bellowed across the room, causing fellow breakfast goers to jump and drop some of their food.

"Oh shit. That is my que to leave. I'll catch you later," with that, he dashed off to who knows where.

Katsuki meanwhile, knew he wouldn't be so lucky "Yes, Hag. What can I do for you?" he wasn't making eye contact with her. That way he hoped she might make this quick and then disappear.

"I needed to speak to you in private."

He decided to look up at her. He could see that this was important, he could also hazard a guess at the topic. The Omega Prince. He stood and they went to find a more secluded spot.

"Spit it out, hag," Katsuki said as he closed the door behind them. They had found an empty office, hopefully no one would be interrupting them.

"Have you told anyone that you and Prince Midoria are fated mates?" there was clear panic in her red eyes.
