Chapter 150: White Queen to the Rescue

Rosalie*

Sitting in my cozy cabin in Winter Forest, I glanced out the window at the beautiful scenery around us. The snow was falling softly, adding to the peaceful atmosphere inside. Big fluffy flakes gently swirled through the air as they danced their way to the ground. The white blanket that covered the ground outside was pristine and untouched, except for the tracks of the occasional animal.

The room we were in was small but warm and inviting, much cozier than the castle I used to live in here in Winter Forest. The walls were made of wood, painted a deep red color that matched the braided rug on the floor.

It was getting dark outside, but the family room was bright. A fireplace made of stone took up one wall, and a fire was crackling happily inside, casting a warm glow over the room.

“I love these family gatherings,” I said, sighing contentedly. ‘ It’s so nice to be all together, especially during the winter solstice.’

“I agree. Mom,” Maeve said from her seat nearby. “It’s a nice change from our annual reunion at Avondale. While that was fun for a few years, I really do miss seeing snow during winter.’

Troy gave his wife a kiss on the cheek before he sat down. “I bet you’ll miss the beach in about three days.’

My daughter laughed, “Oh, I’m sure I will, but right now, nothing beats a sip of warm cocoa by the fireplace.’

Rowan and Hannah sat next to one another on a smaller couch across from Maeve, their fingers interlaced. I sighed contentedly, ‘There’s nothing like being surrounded by loved ones to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.’

Ethan and I built this house when Maeve and Rowan were just kids. We had so many memories of their adventures together in the woods nearby. Sometimes it was still hard for me to believe that Maeve and Rowan were all grown up and had children of their own.

My husband sat by my side, holding my hand as we reminisced about the old days. It was hard to believe how fast the grandkids were growing. I could hear Maeve’s three boys playing upstairs in one of the larger bedrooms, along with their cousin, Selene, who had turned eight not long ago.

“Here,” Ethan said, raising his mug of cocoa in a toast. ’To family, the greatest gift of all.”

We all clinked our mugs together and took a sip of the warm, chocolatey drink.

“Speaking of family,” Maeve seemed to suddenly think of something, ‘I forgot to tell you that Selene said something interesting. It was last year, around the same time when you guys came to Avondale.”

Immediately, she got all the attention in the room, especially from Hannah. Maeve gave Hannah an assuring smile, “Don’t worry, nothing bad.’

Troy’s brow slightly creased, it was obvious that he also remembered that incident. Maeve continued, ‘Selene said someone who looked like her grandpa was coming home. Dad, I could only think of one person who looks like you and is similar in age as you.”

That was when a loud knock at the door startled all of us. I looked up to see Ethan had already gotten out of his chair to answer it.

Who would be visiting us at this odd hour?

The rest of us got to the door just in time to watch Ethan’s face go pale and he took a step backward, shock written all over his features. I couldn’t see who was at the door from where I was, but I heard Ethan’s gasp.

“Soren?” Ethan muttered in disbelief. “Is that really you?”
