Capítulo 67: Set Her Free

(CEDRIC)

"What do you think about setting Jenna free and returning her to the hill countries of Nivea, where she came from?"

Ben stood by the table while I spoke with my fingers playing over the pages of a big old book I had busied myself with before I sent for him.

He appeared to be concentrating hard as he strained his ears to hear my questions.

Perhaps he was taken aback by the fact that I would ask such a ludicrous question. Providing, of course, that he would ever consider a word spoken by his alpha to be absurd.

Ben has my complete faith.

Even though he would not admit it to me, I am aware that he considers me a top priority; however, I was aware that this question sounded ridiculous.

"Emm." He had a hard time speaking clearly.

It's possible he didn't know the appropriate response to drop at my table.

Who would ever think I would forgive a street queen who had killed many of my gladiators in a fight?
