Learn To Love(Vikings-Ivar the Boneless:Part 2)

*Alva's pov*

While everyone was gone things went horribly wrong a woman named Lagertha who I had come to learn was the first wife of Ragnar had sneakily invaded Kattegat and taken over killing Aslaug in the process...I didn't know how to handle any of the this..I knew things like this happened I wasn't naive or stupid but I never thought I'd be faced with this with it bring the mother of the man I was supposed to marry...I just didn't know how Hvitserk and Ivar would handle this when they each returned from their journies.....I was sitting in my cabin trying to wrap my head around all this when a knock came to my door "Come in."

The door opened to reveal Margrethe "Umm Princess Alva Ubbe sent me to come get you."

I raised an eyebrow I still didn't care for the girl but yet she couldn't be held accountable for how Sigurd treats Ivar.."You're no longer a slave Margrethe."

She nodded "Ivar is back..."

I stood up quickly rushing out...I knew exactly where they were...I pushed opened the door "Ivar."

Ivar looked up "Alva."

I frowned gently taking is face in my hands "Ivar.."

He placed a gentle hand on my wrist "I'm fine don't fuss."

I raised an eyebrow "Where is Ragnar?"

Ubbe sighed "With King Aelle it appears...possibly dead."

I gasped "Have you?"

He shook his head "We are now."

Ivar looked between us "What?"

Sigurd looked at me for a moment when I gave a nod he sighed "Mother is dead."

He looked to Ubbe "Is this true?"

Ubbe nodded "Lagertha killed her...she is now Queen of Kattegat...mother is dead. "

I really didnt know what to say or do at this moment..I stood watching the emotions run through Ivar's eyes the anger building in its place..."Ivar."

Ivar looked at his brothers "Leave please.."

They nodded each patting his shoulder as they left...

I slowly walked over "Say something."

He looked at me "How?"

I frowned "Arrow to the back..I really thought she was going to let her go...I didn't know what to do..I've heard my father's stories slaying men for countries and proudly claim it I never thought I'd see it..let alone a woman I cared for..that cared for me."

Ivar had a worrisome look of pure anger and sadness "I will kill her."

I nodded "I know."

He nodded "This is your chance to run Alva...the Ivar you planned to marry is gone..."

I shook my head "I didn't run when you left I won't now.."

Ivar pulled me closer wrapping his arms around my torso as his head tested against my chest "Alva."

I ran my fingers through his hair "I'm not going anywhere."

He nodded his fingertips digging into my lower back

I tilted his head up my eyes meeting his blue ones "I promise you Ivar whatever you decide I'm there with my own sword ready."

Ivar's blue eyes bore into mine "Alva.."

I leaned down pressing a kiss to his lips "I'm sorry."

He nodded "Me too.."

I looked up as the door opened "Yes Ubbe?"
