Chapter 3: Outside

"Think you can walk?" Izuku nodded and steadied himself. The huntsman chuckled at the omega's resilience.
"You'll be way too sore tommorow." He patted his back knowingly and lead him to his house.

As much as he wanted to stay at this man's house where his lovely little wife and teenage children were so very hospitable, he knew better. His father would be outraged for any longer, not to mention he didn't even gather the supplies.

"Sir, it's been pleasant but I have to go home." He gave a smile to the kind man.
"You sure? That no good bastard wi-"
"I'm sure." He interrupted.
"I'll.. I'll escort you there." He sighed with a heavy heart.

You may be wondering, why they haven't done anything about this. His father served the war, thriving and surviving. He flourished in the ranks, scoring him the right-hand man of the Commander, the one who commanded the entire army under the King's reign. He was untouchable, no one in this simple town could lay a hand on him or risking the mass murder of this little village.

He settled here after the war since his wife and child were there and to continue the family tradition of raising your children on the same plot of land. The scars of war plagued his mind, ruining the good man he used to be.

The forest had a light glow of sun-kissed sunset light. It would be beautiful if Midoriya wasn't nervous. Even with the Alpha near him, the previous encounter made him hyper aware of the creaks and cracks of the woods. It never bothered him before but now he kept his eyes peel for the heavy thuds of an unknown alpha with unknown intentions. He shivered at the thought of his large hands brushing against his shoulder again.

But his father also scared him. What would he do? What was the punishment going to be? He didn't get the food and he didn't come straight back. Whatever the punishment was, whatever.. It'll be fine like it always is.

"I'm home!" He yelled. He turned back to the huntsman and thanked him for the escort. The Alpha turned around, cringing at the loud stomping coming from the house followed by a yelp and a thud. He growled, clenching his fist and continued to walk, helpless at the situation.

Midoriya whimpered at the new pain right on his ass and face, always the face, jezz. The man raised his hand for another strike but Midoriya scooted back against the grass and dirt with his hands blocking him.
"Wait, wait!" He begged. The father growled in anger and released his scent, making him fall limp into the soft grass.

He stomped forward to grab the limp omega but was interupted by Midoriya.
"Dad! I-I was chased by an alpha!" He quickly explained with a whine.
"What?" He gritted his teeth.
"There was a strange alpha in the woods, he chased me until I reached town. I-I'm sorry, I dropped the basket in a panic." He panted hard at the overwhelming scent of his father.

The man made a frustrated growl and stomped back to the house.
"You're staying out here." He snarled and slammed the door. Well that went better than expected, thank the gods for that. Well, a blanket would be nice, and oh I don't know, not being in the forest that he was almost killed in. The sun had set further, making it darker than it was prior but there was still some light. It just looked creepier than ever..

Of course, his mom would give him a blanket or even a meal if she could but that would displease her husband, she knew better than that. He wished that sometimes she broke the rules but it was reasonable, if she was in her position he would probably do that same. Besides, she fights her own battles with him already. There's been countless times where she stepped in and covered for her boy, taking the brunt of his abuse as much as she could.
She was a cowardly fierce woman indeed.

They didn't have a barn or anything like some of the villagers did but they did have a stack of hay. Hay was better than nothing. After the pheromones were filtered out by the wind, allowing him to regain control of his body, he walked behind the house and sorted out the blocks into a square, one block per side to keep the cold wind out. It wouldn't do much for the air for a while but he would freeze faster with wind and these blocks were going to do a wondrous job. He hopped in his little makeshift hole with a smile.

It took a while to get comfy, cold, starvation, an aching body and the lack of a comfortable bed definitely didn't help him out. By the time exhaustion took over and forced him to get some damn rest, the moon shone above him dimly.

The forest glittered under the half-full moon. Soft wind tugged at the trees playfully like a tease. The wind was colder than it had been in the middle of the day, not caring that it snaked around the cold body who couldn't produce enough warmth to stave off such parasitic wind.

Only one body fought off the treacherous cold with an outstanding victory. A body who's eyes pierced through the thickets and stared at a poor excuse of shelter where the body shivered continuously.

After waiting long enough, he emerged from the uncomfortable position from which he stalked his prey. He carefully walked toward the sad shelter, careful that his large feet didn't give him away. His eyes locked on the boy who seemed quite uncomfortable with the cold.
Now, that simply would not do.

He slid off his cloak with smirk, placing it on top of the omega so Midoriya could trap the warmth he produced into a cozy little pocket. It did look adorable, the drastically large cloth draped over the small frame so much so it could be mistaken as a blanket for a large bed.

He turned around but not before hearing a loud grumble.
"Needy little bastard, are you?" He chuckled quietly.
