Ivara’s POV “Wake up! Wake up, Ivara!” I groaned and buried my face deeper into the pillow. “One more minute, it’s too early…” I mumbled half awake. The blanket was yanked off me. “Too early?” I heard Elodie gasp dramatically. “Don’t you know?!” I groaned, staring up at her, hair in my face. “Know what? I need to sleep, Elodie.” She had kept me awake half the night with gossip, yet wouldn’t even let me sleep now. Elodie stared at me like I’d just confessed to treason. “Godmother is back, so the schedule has been changed, and the wolf hunt is nearing, so the fortress has to be in good shape!” I pushed myself up slowly. “What? Who is Godmother? And what does her return have to do with my sleep?” I murmured. I had no idea what she was bluffing about, and Goddess knew I wasn’t interest
