Chapter 629: Chapter 132 : A New White Queen

*Xander*

Maeve walked toward us, a beaming smile stretching across her face. She was dressed casually in a pair of pale blue gym shorts and a T-shirt, her hair knotted in a large bun on the top of her head. Lena looked surprised to see her, which I found odd.

“I decided to stop here on my way to Winter Forest,” Maeve said as she pulled Lena into a hug. “I’ll be back before the baby is born; I promise. I’m catching a flight to Winter Forest after dinner tonight.”

“You’re leaving so soon?” Lena was disappointed, I could tell. I’d just arrived, so I had no idea who was currently staying in the castle. Lena’s surprised expression told me Maeve had just arrived, and likely while we were talking with Carly and Lincoln.

“I have a few things I need to discuss with your grandma. Plus, Troy is meeting me there. I finally convinced him to leave Breles for a few weeks and take a break.”

“Has he not been back to Avondale?” I asked, and Maeve shook her head.
