THE RETURN OF THE QUEEN

IVAN POV

It felt like a dream as I stared at Arianne's back who was busy eating loudly with her hands. She was dressed in the ugliest garment I've ever seen. It looked too big on her, dwarfing her and it was falling of her shoulders. Her hair looked unkempt and dirty and the way she ate loudly while moaning in appreciation made my eyes water. She was acting really strange but she was Arianne all the same. I felt something swell in my chest, probably our bond starting to get awakened.

"Is that really her?" I heard Aurora whispers softly behind me.

She must have heard the news which was why she was here along with my mother and Yasmin. Everyone stared at Arianne with a look of disbelief and surprise. I myself also felt surprised considering the letter never got to the cold mountains but I also didn't care, all that matters is that she was right here, where she was supposed to be.

"Arianne!" I called softly.
