Forged in the Flames

Chapter 21

Aliana POV

Nikolas groaned when I t*ouched him. He knew what was coming. He favoured my people for my sake tonight and should be rewarded for it.

“Aliana, what are you doing?” He asked me while I undid his shorts.

“Showing appreciation,” I said, and he groaned with anticipation and relaxed.

I took off his shorts and felt his hard c*oc*k. The moment I t*ouched it, my core clenched. Wanting him inside me badly. I was addicted to him.

“Take off your robe, Little wolf. I want to see you,” He groaned, and I obliged.

I took off the robe. I had nothing underneath.

He sat up and reached for my b*rea*sts. I knelt between his legs while he t*ouched my b*ody with his hands, feeling every part of me while his c*oc*k hardened.

“Beautiful,” he said, and I m*oa*ned while he traced my belly button down to my c*li*t.

I t*ouched his c*oc*k and brushed the surface with my thumb. He pulled his hands away to enjoy the pleasure I was about to give. I l*ic*ked the mushroom head. He gathered my hair with his hand holding it up so he could see what I was doing, and he m*oa*ned with approval.

I took him in my mouth until it reached my throat and made me gag. Soon we fell into a rhythm. I bobbed my head on his c*oc*k while he held my head and gently f*uc*ked my mouth.

“Aliana,” he m*oa*ned, and I was proud of myself. My c*or*e clenched and ached, knowing soon he would bury his length inside me and give my p*uss*y the attention it needed.

“I want to come in your mouth, little wolf.” He said.

I had never swallowed c*um before, but there was a first time for everything.

I continued until he stilled, and I felt his c*oc*k pulsate in my mouth, spraying his s*ee*d. I managed to swallow and l*ic*ked the mushroom head.

He was still hard, and I moved to go on top. He shook his head and stopped me. “I want dessert too,” He said, and I knew what he meant by dessert.

He made me sit and then spread my legs, ready to eat me.

“Watch me, Aliana, watch me eat you,” he said. His words alone were taking me off the edge. Nikolas made me sit with my back against the bed’s headrest, knees up, legs apart. He bent down and l*ic*ked my c*li*t down to my s*li*t. Then I felt him stick his t*ongue into my p*uss*y. I came apart. He held me in place, grabbing onto my hips.

He f*uc*ked me with his t*ongue and l*ic*ked my entrance up my s*li*t to my c*li*t. He continued in the sequence until I came apart, my b*ody shaking, my knees were shaking. “Ahh,” I cried out because he wasn’t stopping.

“Ni…” I m*oa*ned, not wanting to call his name. He pulled me down and towered over me while he drove his c*oc*k into me.

His eyes were completely dark, and everything about him was primal.

“I hope you can take it, Little wolf,” He said, and I was yet to come down. My p*uss*y was clenching badly, my b*ody was in a chaotic mess with sparks of pleasure everywhere, and he p*umped through it.

He p*umped, placed my legs over his shoulder, and continued pushing himself deeper, brushing the right spots.

He was big and filled me up completely. I knew I would never get enough of this.

His eyes were dark throughout, and soon, I saw his teeth elongate. The sight of it alone made me eager.

I was anxious to bare my neck for him to bite through and own me. I knew he wouldn’t claim me, it was okay to dream.

He bent over and grazed his teeth on the skin, making me eager, and my b*ody began to come apart.

I felt the urge to beg for his mark. My b*ody was going crazy, his dominance and pheromones taking over my senses. My feelings and heart betraying me, making me lose control. He l*ic*ked the spot, and I knew that was the best I would get.

My o*rgas*m erupted, and I tried to contain the explosion of pleasure.

I turned my head left and right, and he continued through it.

He did not seem like we were stopping early, and I liked it. We are at it most of the night.

We did not sleep until the early hours of the morning. I knew we were loud all through, and the folks partying in the garden must have heard us.

I made my m*oa*ns louder so those Lycan b*itc*hes would understand what was happening. Nikolas figured it out, and he made sure I never stopped m*oa*ning.

Nikolas woke me up the next day with food in bed. I wondered what the occasion was. I frowned at him.

He was wearing his bathrobe. “You are finally up,” he said, and I nodded, not wanting to speak.

“I want to go to two other packs in the forest to speak with the people I put in charge. I want you to accompany me.” He said, and I raised an eyes brow.

“Won’t they tell? I mean, your request to be King is yet to pull through,” I said, telling him my fears, and he laughed.

“I want you to accompany me, Aliana. I will deal with the Hill and Snow Kings. Right now, I want to pretend we are the same and all the prohibition isn’t in play. I believe we should be able to do that in our world. Forest is our world, Aliana. Please let us live freely in it,” he said, and I did not feel good about it, but I nodded.

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and returned to the room. I went to k*iss him, and he grabbed onto me tightly and deepened the k*iss until we broke It to catch our breaths. I rested my forehead against his, smiling and admiring his handsomeness.

“Won’t you eat with your officers?” I asked him, and he shook his head.

I got in bed beside him. We ate the food in the tray together, and he took the tray out and left it by the door so no one would try to enter. We went to the bathroom and spent time there. This was rabbit behaviour, but I wasn’t complaining.

I never imagined Nikolas would be fun to be with. I would admit that I was still guarded around him, and I was afraid of him sometimes, but he made it easy.

I dressed up in a short dress. I wanted to wear trousers, but he said no. He wanted me to show my legs so he could feel them and tease me when he wanted, so I obliged him. We stepped out, and a car awaited us at the palace entrance

The car wasn’t what caught my attention. The assembly was what caught my attention. Grant was addressing the werewolves. I tried to ignore it, but I couldn’t. Nikolas stood by the vehicle, and I knew

he was listening to Grant’s announcement, so I copied him. My father looked at me standing beside Nikolas, and he smiled.

‘Thank you, princess. They brought us dinner and breakfast. Please, thank Alpha on our behalf. He is kind,’ He told me, and I knew my father knew Nikolas could tune in to the mind link, but I knew he was also being sincere about his gratitude. Nikolas t*ouched my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine.

“You can visit your father on Saturdays. He is off work on Saturdays,” he linked me, and I squeezed his hands tightly from joy and pure gratitude.

I could not jump and hug him in public, so this must do. I had tears of joy in my eyes, and I fought them, but they fell. It made me sniffle.

“Are you crying, little wolf?” He linked me, and I nodded.

“I am happy,” I confessed, and he caressed the back of my hand with his thumb.

“We are waiting for Qusack, and we will be off,” He explained, and I nodded.

“Listen to the announcement!” Grant started. “Werewolves are allowed to buy and sell in the market. The stalls are accessible to all of you, so if anyone asks you to pay, kindly report the person to my office, and the matter will be dealt with.

All werewolf households are entitled to free groceries on Saturdays. If you are denied this privilege, report the incident to my office. There should be work breaks between two in the afternoon to three thirty. If you are denied this right, report it to my office.

The wages remain as it was in the beginning. If you are paid less or unpaid at all, report it to my office.” He said and then folded his paper.

“This is an act of kindness from the Alpha, soon- to-be King. We hope you can remain peaceful and loyal. Do not put us in a situation where we would regret this act of kindness. No Lycan is allowed to bully or maltreat a werewolf, and no werewolf is allowed to disrespect their betters.

You all remain beneath us, and if caught actively disrespecting or working against a lycan, you will be dealt with mercilessly.

Due to the unresolved issues with the Snow hunters, werewolves and halfbreeds are prohibited from venturing into the woods. As this might lead to your death. We are working on solving the issue, but it would be wise for you to listen and do as instructed,” He said and sighed.

Then a badly beaten werewolf man was brought to the front of the assembly, and Nikolas tried to make us get into the car. I wanted to see what was going on. Fortunately, Qusack came to talk to Nikolas about something so I could watch what was happening

The werewolf was bound with silver, and they had beaten him mercilessly.

He was a Delta breed by the name of Joshua. He was a handsome werewolf and a girl’s crush. I never fancied him, but most girls did. I wondered what he did that caused the Lycans to flail him like this.

“When we gave you rules, we expected you to follow. A relationship between a werewolf and a Lycan is prohibited, and there will be no exceptions. Lycans are above werewolves, and it would be stupid to aim higher than your station. This werewolf broke that law by getting involved with a Lycan woman. He did not only sleep but got her pregnant,” he said, and people gasped.

“His halfbreed b*astar*d would be handed to him, and he would be cut off from work and wages. Do not think getting a Lycan pregnant or getting pregnant for a Lycan would elevate your status as your child would be regarded as a slave and lesser to a Lycan.

We didn’t make the laws, it is the law of our world, and I would advise you to obey it. Because of this behaviour, this werewolf would be sent to Lumberwood pack to serve a year of hard labour and reflect on his ways, after which he would return to care for his b*astar*d alone. Let this be a warning to all of you dreamers,” he said, and my hands began to shake as tears rolled down my cheek. This was unfair. Why was he the only one disgraced?

What about the Lycan woman? She was equally guilty. Why shame Joshua and leave her hidden? This was wrong and wicked.

“Let’s go,” Nikolas said, and I wanted to pull away from him because this was an injustice. They had separated them and beat him up. They did not need to do this.

“This is what will happen to me if I break any of your rules,” I said aloud without even knowing it, and he froze.

I could see why he wanted us to leave. He did not want me to experience reality.

“No,” he said, and I shook my head. I wasn’t a fool. After all, I was a werewolf. I became frightened and wasn’t looking forward to going anywhere with him.

“Aliana, please,” Nikolas said, and I shook my head, fighting my tears, afraid I might end up there.

It is bad enough that he would end this one day, and my heart would be broken. This would be too much for me. It is unfair. Why the castigation and segregation? Were we not all children of the goddess? Why? Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Today is your lucky day, Joshua, Alpha has pardoned your transgressions. You will not be sent to Lumberwood, but your child will be given to you to care for. Alpha says the beating is enough punishment so you can keep your work and wages,” Grant announced, and I looked at Nikolas.

I could see the difficulty in his eyes, but I knew he did it for my sake. He pardoned a werewolf for my sake. As kind as the gesture was, I knew it would reflect poorly on him among his kind. This was a public show of affection towards me, and I knew he might pay for it. Our world and rules were unfair, and he was trying to find a balance.

“I will fix it, Aliana. Once I become King, I will fix it,” he linked me, and I could feel his sincerity.

We got into the car and left the place.
