His (A Niklaus Mikaelson Fanfic)

Chapter 48

I opened my eyes to see Nik drinking a glass of whiskey. "Morning love." He said smiling as he stood up. John lay fast asleep next to me. "John." I whispered into my son's ear. "Mama?" He mumbled turning to face me while still lying down. "You're okay!" He said excitedly. "Go to your room and rest son." I said softly kissing his forehead. 

"Tired?" I asked him as I sat up on my elbows. "Very. I haven't slept since you were knocked out." I gave him a worried glance. "What did you expect love?" I sighed and threw myself back onto the bed. "For you too rest when you hear my heart is beating regularly." I glanced down at myself to see I was wearing my black short frilled nightie. 

I raised an eyebrow at Nik to see him smirk and wink at me. "But love we really do have to discuss the coming of-" "My mother?" Klaus gave me a confused looked. "I was weak not deaf." I stated earning a chuckle from him. "Can we talk about it later Niklaus? I just want to curl up into a ball and sleep." I said closing my eyes and listening to Nik as he removed clothing and shoes before I felt his bear back against my shoulder. He kissed my forehead, cheek and then my lips. 

"Mhmmm." I kissed Nik snaking one arm around his neck holding his head behind me in place. "C'mon Nik we should rest." I mumbled against his lips. He whined and pulled me closer to him. "Nik we need t-" His lips caressed my neck causing my breathe to hitch and my other arm to wrap around his neck. "N-Nik." I moaned as I pushed away from him. "We have to sleep." I said sternly.

I looked into his now gold eyes and I sighed inwardly. Once Niklaus' wolf form took over there was no stopping him. "Nik seriously. We should go to sle-" I yelped as I found myself pinned to the bed my throat being squeezed tightly by a clawed paw. "Bloody hell love. You expected to look like this and to be seperated from me for two weeks then not to owe me." I whimpered causing his grip on me to loosen.

I kicked Nik off of me.  "Nik!" Niklaus turned to look at me. His eyes were full of concern no longer gold but black. "I'm so sorry love. My wolf wanted it's mate....I..." I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. "It's okay. I know it's hard to control." I said grabbing a towel. "I'm going to shower." 

I stood beneath the warm water sighing. Klaus' wolf had only ever taken control once before and when it did it was while we were having sex so I barely noticed it. But this....I washed the blood off of my neck. This was totally different. I heard the washroom door open and my body tensed. Then the tap for the wash basin was turned on. I relaxed and started to scrub my body and wash my hair clean.

I heard the door open once more and then close. I turned the water off and grabbed my towel then exited the shower only to see Nik standing there shirtless brushing his teeth. "Hello love." He said quietly before washing his face and hugging me tightly. "I didn't mean to scare you." He whispered softly before brushing his lips against my ear. 

I pulled away and smiled nuzzling him. "It's okay Nik." His lips trailed down my neck then back up kissing my lips before he pulled away with lust filled eyes lifting me up and placing me on the counter. He cupped my face and kissed me. My back was pressed against the mirror as his hands trailed over my body as my nails scratched down his back drawing blood. 

"Niklaus! We have a visitor!" Rebekah yelled causing Nik to growl as he started to pull away. "Never a dull moment." I said smiling as I ran my fingers through his hair. I kissed him once more before slipping off the counter and walking to the door of the washroom. "Nik you might wanna wash the blood off your back." I said giggling before closing the washroom door on him. I chuckled as I pulled on a pair of black faded skinny jeans, a white tank top and a black zip down hoodie with black heeled ankle boots. 

I jogged downstairs to see Finn and Kol speaking with Elijah and Rebekah. "Alice! Are you alright?" Kol asked beside me in moments. He scanned my body and face before he enveloped me in a hug. " I'm fine.....Thanks Finn." I said planting a kiss on his cheek. I was surprised by my fiancee's concern for me.

I smiled as the rest of the Michalesons came down the stairs including John. They were all dressed impecably but I ignored it just happy they were all here. We sat as a family talking about the past. About our childhood, about our families, and about our life now. John sat giggling and laughing at our stories. I smiled as I looked around the room. This is what a family is supposed to be like. Happy, kind and loving. 

"A penny for your thoughts love?" Nik whispered entertwining his fingers with my own. "I'm just thinking about how this is how your mother truly wanted our family to be. She may have been crazy and a little off but she really just wanted you all to be happy." I said as John played with my fingers.

"Well we still have Ianna to deal with and who knows what she will bring with her." Elijah said smiling at me sadly. "Shhhh. Let's not think about it now. We're here. Together....as a family. No one has a dept to settle or a grudge against another. We're all here by our own free will just to be here together. As a family."

"Actually love I do believe that you and Nik have one last step before you are technically part of the family." I gave Kol a confused look then it hit me."The wedding." "We have the pastor on his way. Let's get you really Alice." Rebekah said helping me up as she led me upstairs. 

I walked into the bedroom Nik and I shared and gasped at the sight of the dress. It was beautiful. I slipped into the dress as Bekah did my hair and makeup. I stared in the mirror gasping at the women who stood before me. The white dress was strapless and hugged my body yet flared out slightly towards my feet. It had a beaded design that acted as a belt and ran along the right side of the front of the dress.

I looked- "Come on Nik's waiting. I really do think that you are the best thing that has ever happened to him Alice. So though I wish I was the one in the gown looking as radiant as you do....I am so happy for you." 

I silenced Rebekah by hugging her. She left the room giving me a moment. I listened to hear her tell Elijah I was ready then slowly descended down the stairs. Nik was laughing and chatting with his brothers but he grew quiet as his eyes fell on me. He covered his mouth and looked away smiling brightly. We both stood at the make shift altar with the pastor.

I remember everything about that ceremony from the vows to the rings but the most memorable part of the ceremony was when the priest told Nik he could now kiss the bride. He pushed the veil back and stared at me with so much love. "I love you Alice." He kissed me passionately. "I love you too." I whispered back.
