Chapter 22

Ella POV

“Who is she and why is she here?”

I hear a woman’s voice travel down the hallway and through my door.

“Who she is, is none of your concern,”

Erebus chastises her in a low voice.

“She will be staying indefinitely.”

“None of my concern,”

the woman gasps and I cannot help but lean my ear up against the door to hear more of the conversation.

“I am the Queen.”

“She sounds extremely unpleasant,”

Lily mutters in my brain and I shush her quickly.

“You are the Queen Mother, the former Queen.”

Erebus replies grumpily to his mother.

“Then you won’t mind if I meet her,”

the woman says cheerfully, and I hear footsteps coming closer to my bedroom door.

Quickly I scramble away from the door and back myself up against the bed.

Without warning the lock on my door clicks and it swings wide open.

A woman worthy of the title of a supermodel is standing in the doorway glaring at me.
