Learn To Love(Vikings-Ivar the Boneless:Part 3)

*Ivar's pov*

I was still angry with what was happen but somehow Alva made it so much easier to deal with..even more when I discovered I could please a woman...more importantly my soon to be wife...we had since discovered our father was indeed deceased and the plans began immediately to avenge our father...I made the decision to have Alva come along I didn't want to leave her in Kattegat with Lagertha and I knew she was a hell of a shieldmaiden especially after watching her with Ubbe and Sigurd...we were getting ready wirh armies coming over to help...I sat outside talking with Hvitserk, Ubbe and Sigurd when Alva stormed up fuming "Whoa calm down love what's wrong?"

Alva paced back and forth her at her lips and a fist formed at her side "I cannot believe this..."

Ubbe raised an eyebrow "Alva what is it?"

She waved her arm towards the hall "That woman...that woman who has plagued my entire life is here!"

I raised an eyebrow "Who?"

Alva growled lowly "Ellisif."

Hvitserk tilted his head slightly "That is?"

I frowned "The woman King Harald is obsessed with."

Alva frowned "Yes and my uncle encouraged him they're in there now talking about who knows what...and get this I saw her arrive with some man I asked around she's married to Earl Vik..of course father is only seeing her.."

Ubbe frowned "Alva her husband is here to help us."

She sighed "This isn't about her husband this is about her...I grew up with hearing only about the love of his life Princess Ellisif...never about my mother my stories came from Halfdan and the elder thralls who helped care for me...so now I am face to face with this woman and I feel like that regretted little girl all over again.

He frowned "I didn't know Princess I'm sorry."

I frowned "Don't tell me you're staying here?"

Alva shook her head "Of course not..."

I nodded "Okay.."

Ubbe stood up "I'm gonna check the boats Hvitserk Sigurd come on."

I watched them walk away.."You sure you're okay?"

She nodded "Just I don't know Ivar...I never thought actually seeing her would affect me like this."

I took her hand pulling her closer "My dear Alva...don't let her worry you...maybe your father will finally get his wish and this will be over."

Alva sighed "I surely hope so.."

I smiled "So since my brother married his slave...I've been thinking my dear Alva..after we've avenged my father we marry before our gods..I refuse to marry in Kattegat...not while she still lives and I do not wish to wait longer.."

She brushed her thumb across my cheek "I like the sound of that."

I smiled "Come we shall prepare to set sail my princess.."

Alva nodded "Yes.."

I smiled to myself as we left...the trip was long Harald was not too pleased that Alva cane along but Halfdan knew his niece would do just fine in this battle I knew she would as well the first battle went quickly our army overpowering King Aelle's...now came time for our revenge...Alva stood beside Ubbe being Bjorn while I stood in front beside Floki...the look in her eyes was hard to read the anger she has felt these past several days replaced the caring look in those beautiful amber colored eyes...as we now looked at Aelle who was now hanging dead above us I glanced at my soon to be wife as she stood between Hvitserk and Floki a look of calm and satisfaction was across her face along with the splatter of blood from battle and from Aelle....once we were in Repton Alva insisted on fight instead of going with me and Floki..."Be careful my princess."
