CHAPTER 91

  **GWEN**

  I had recently returned from visiting the temple one quiet evening and was preparing to take a nap when a knock sounded on my door.I winced,my face contorting in displeasure at who could be trying to disturb me.

  "Come in,"I mouthed,securing my hair above my head as my eyes whisked in the door direction.Kora came in,her face a mask of gaiety.

  She scurried forward until she was standing in front of me before breaking the news."The former Queen is here."

  My ear ticked,my hand falling down the same as my hair,alarmed at the news.Ashton said she was coming,but not this soon.It was just five days ago for goodness sake.And I didn't even make any proper arrangements for her welcome.

  "Where is she?"I asked eagerly and set my hair to fall around my shoulders as I picked up the gown I had already discarded on the bed.
