Chapter 13
Ivar
When I returned to my room that night, I was surprised to find Ailis there.
She took a step toward me. "I thought you would never return."
I blew out a long breath, walking toward the stool, and I sat down.
"My Lady," she said. "Are you well?"
I opened my mouth to speak, having no idea where to start. My confrontation with Ragnar was making my blood boil with anger. And when he leaned closer, I thought he was about to kiss me, but instead, he sent me away.
"Did something happen out there during the attack?"
I didn't want to tell Ailis about my experience with Ragnar. "There were many wolvens out there."
"I pray no harm came to you, My Lady," Ailis said, stepping closer.
"I am unharmed."
I removed the cloak I was wearing and dumped it on the floor.
"Before I left, I saw the guards slaying the wolvens," I said.
"Were you able to kill any?" she asked.
"Aye," I lied again.
