Forged In The Flames By Karima Sa’ad Usman
Chapter 102 The Wedding (Nikolas POV)
A month later.
The wedding day was finally upon us, and contrary to what everyone said, I wasn’t nervous. In fact, I was eager to get it over
with. I was eager to claim her as mine and finally have Aliana as my Queen.
She had spent a week with her parents in their new house in town since the house in the compound was a bit too tiny.
Gabriel still maintained the house in the compound, and both he and Gwen stayed there sometimes.
Title of the document
I stood at the altar, thinking of everything that had happened and how far we had come. Her tiny bump wasn’t concealable, so
most people knew she was pregnant.
People had come from far and wide to witness my marriage.
Mile had now been crowned King, and his wedding to Lena would occur in a month.
Mile was at my wedding with Lena. Piotr was there with Natasha. Now that everyone knew that the Unity Law would be
abolished, people could love freely without reserve. Piotr seemed the happiest for it.
King Alexander and his wife were there, and my mother, too. Although she missed my coronation, she had finally forgiven herself
and had come out of hiding.
I was grateful that she was there. Although she would never speak to her wolf again because of the silver, she had changed.
I was glad I listened to Aliana and spared her life. I still couldn’t get over the fact that her silence made my father’s enemies
successfully ruin him and Forest.
I knew it would take a while before I forgave her. I was willing to take it a step at a time. Gwen was sitting in front, all smiles. She
looked the happiest, and I figured for her to be sitting alone, it meant Gabriel was with their daughter.
“Thank you, your majesty,” she linked me, and I slightly bowed in acknowledgement.

Qusack was my best man, he and Ania were going steady now, and I hoped we would hear wedding bells soon. Another pairing
up was Abraham and Lisa. It was a mix no one saw coming because Lisa was serious- minded and unapproachable, but I guess
Abraham was able to break through her defences.
As I stood at the end of the aisle, my heart pounded with anticipation. Soft music played in the background, setting the perfect
atmosphere for this momentous occasion. All eyes were on the entrance, waiting for the doors to open and reveal the woman
who held my heart: Aliana, the love of my life.
The doors opened, and there she was, escorted by Gabriel. My breath caught in my throat as I caught sight of her. She was
breathtakingly beautiful, like a vision from a dream. Her radiant smile lit up the room, and her eyes sparkled with joy and love.
As Aliana took her first step down the aisle, time seemed to stand still. My gaze never wavered from her; I couldn’t tear my eyes
away. Every inch she moved closer felt like an eternity, yet it wasn’t long enough. I watched as her delicate white gown glided
gracefully with each step, her veil gently swaying behind her, and her bouquet of flowers held tightly in her hands.
The world around us faded into the background, and it was just the two of us at that moment.
In Aliana’s eyes, I could see the depth of her love for me, and at that moment, I knew that my life was about to change forever.
She was about to become my wife, Queen, and partner in this incredible journey of love and togetherness.
As Aliana and her father reached the end of the aisle, I could see the mix of emotions on Gabriel’s face. He entrusted his
precious daughter to me, knowing I would protect and cherish her with all my heart. I felt deeply grateful and responsible as he
placed Aliana’s hand in mine, passing on the torch of love and commitment.

I held Aliana’s hand gently, and our eyes locked in a silent vow. I whispered to her then, “You are the most beautiful bride I have
ever seen. I am the luckiest man in the world.” Aliana’s smile widened, and tears of joy shimmered in her eyes.
The ceremony began, but I barely noticed anything around me. My focus was solely on Aliana, the woman I loved with all my
being.
Soon it was time to exchange our vows and claim each other in the eyes of everyone.
I was to go first. I took a deep breath, ready to speak from my heart. My wolf, Bane, lent me strength, knowing that we dared not
mess it up.
“As I stand at the altar, surrounded by loved ones, I feel a whirlwind of emotions

washing over me. Today, in the presence of our family and friends, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude.
Aliana, my love, my mate, you are the light illuminating my path and the beating of my heart. I cannot express the depth of my
love for you, but I will try my best to convey it through these vows.
Aliana, I knew my life had changed forever from the moment I saw you. Your stubbornness and defiance captivated me;
regardless of how hard you resisted my authority, you still showed and shared your kindness and gentleness. Always there in my
time of need, even when I believed I did not need you, you were there to prove me wrong and let me know that the goddess did
not make a mistake. There was no mistaking it; I knew I had found my soulmate. Today, I stand before you promising to love and
cherish you for all the days of my life.
In this journey we embark upon together, I promise to love you and our children with all my being. I will be your pillar of strength,
guiding light, and biggest supporter. I will hold your dreams close to my heart and help you become the best version of yourself.
Our children will know nothing but unconditional love, laughter, and warmth as we build a family filled with happiness and
harmony.
Aliana, you will always be the priority in my life. I promise to put you first, to listen to your hopes, dreams, and fears, and to
support you in every endeavour. I will be your rock, your confidant, and your biggest supporter. Your happiness will be my joy,
and your sorrow will be my pain. Together, we will face the challenges that life throws our way, hand in hand, united in our love
and commitment.
My beloved, I vow to you today and for all our tomorrows: I will never betray you. I pledge my fidelity and loyalty, knowing that
trust is the foundation upon which our love is built. I will nurture our relationship with honesty, open communication, and
unwavering devotion. My heart has no room for deceit or betrayal, only a deep and abiding love for you.
Today, I make these vows to you, Aliana, in the presence of our loved ones as witnesses. I promise to be your partner, lover, and
best friend. We will create a life filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. I am forever grateful to have you by my side,
and I look forward to a future brimming with love and happiness. With you, Aliana, my life is complete, and my heart is forever
yours,” I said; everywhere was silent.
Aliana eyes were misty, fighting her tears. She stared at me as if lost in my gaze until the officiator cleared his throat to snap her
out of it. It made some people chuckle, but I knew she could feel me.
Aliana looked at me, prepared to speak her vows. She cleared her throat gently and smiled, trying to chase away her happy
tears. I smiled at her to boost her confidence, and she squeezed my hand tight. “When I met you, I thought you were an

a*sshole. I honestly hated you, but I also wanted you. It made me feel like a traitor seeing that we were supposed to be enemies,
but you changed everything. You stole my heart bit by bit until you took it all.
Shattering my walls and breaking through my defences. You made me see a side of this world I would have never seen. You
helped me understand it, embrace it and taught me how to be unbiased about it. And for that, I am grateful, my love.
As I stand before you, my heart is overflowing with emotions I can barely describe. Today, in the presence of our loved ones, I
vow to share my life with you, to walk this journey together, hand in hand.

You are the missing piece to my puzzle, completing me in every way. Your love has brought light into my life, and I am forever
grateful for the warmth and joy you bring to my heart.
I promise to love you unconditionally, to cherish and support you in every endeavour. I promise to be your rock, confidant, and
best friend. I will stand by your side in good and bad, offering my unwavering love and support.
I vow to respect you, honour the person you are, and celebrate your individuality. We will build a life of mutual understanding,
trust, and acceptance. I promise to always listen to you, to value your opinions, and to be open to compromise.
Today, I take you as my mate, equal, and forever love. I promise to nurture our love, to keep the flame burning bright, even in the
face of challenges. I will strive to create a home filled with laughter, compassion, and shared dreams.
As we embark on this incredible journey together, I promise to never stop growing with you: never stop loving you. I will
encourage you to pursue your passions, embrace your dreams, and become the best version of yourself. And I will be beside
you, cheering you on every step of the way.
In you, I have found my soulmate, my partner for life. Today, I make these vows to you, knowing that our love is strong and our
future is filled with endless possibilities.
With every beat of my heart, I will love you. With every breath I take, I will be there for you. Today, and every day that follows, I
promise to love, honour and cherish you until the end of time. You are my everything, and I am blessed to be standing here,
saying my vows to you. I love you, Nikolas,” She said, and I could not wait for the officiator when I pulled her close and sank my
teeth in her sweet spot.
I felt a shudder like never before, but I handled myself. A light moan escaped Aliana’s lips. I could feel our wolves bonding. I
gently retracted my teeth and licked the wound to seal it.

I pulled away and looked at her eyes. Her pupils were dilated, and she felt the connection as strongly as I did. Her teeth
elongated, and I bent close to her to help her gain easy access to claim me; she sank her teeth in, and I felt our wolves connect
wholly. Her body shuddered, and she was weak. She slowly retracted her teeth and licked the spot to seal it. Not wanting her to
stand, I swept her off her feet bridal style as the officiator blessed our union.
I walked out of the hall with her in my arms and the crowd cheering and wishing us well. “Take care of the reception, Qusack. We
will join you later,” I said, wanting badly to make love to her and complete the claim.
I carried her up the stairs in a hurry, and Aliana giggled.
I managed to enter the room. I closed the door behind me and carried her to bed.
I could not wait to get out of my clothes; it was the same for her as she quickly took off her dress. I heard Something rip, but I
could not care.
Joining her in bed, we kissed. It was hungry and fierce. She was life itself, and I relished the moment.
I moved from her lips to my mark and sucked the spot. She moaned loudly. I travelled with my f*ingers between her leg and
placed a f*inger in her to ease her aching walls while I sucked on the spot. How she moved her hips against my f*ingers, let me
know she needed me. My c*oc*k was throbbing badly, and I could not wail to oblige.
I buried myself inside her, with her on top of me. I thrust into her deeply while she ground herself against me. Our senses were
heightened. I felt every stroke. Our wolves were involved, and what we had was primal.
The room was blurry, and a growl escaped my lips between pumps. Aliana could not stop moaning, and as I increased my
speed, she dug her nails into my back; I knew she was coming. I pumped with passion, and I felt her walls clenching; I shot into
her just then, and it felt incredible. By the time we were done, We were both completely drained. I doubted we would be
attending the reception.
I held her and realised my mark had healed, forming a golden crescent moon on her neck, none as I had seen before. I had seen
red and blue, but never had I seen gold. Aliana turned to look at me, smiling, looking tired satiated and pretty at the same time.
She traced her mark on my neck.
“It’s golden,” She remarked, and I smiled lazily and told her hers was golden too. We did not know why, but I figured it was
because of our mix. We could never tell, but it was beautiful, and it looked blessed. We could not stay up at all. Sleep finally
came, and we embraced it.
