CHAPTER 54 Whispers in the Palace: Conspiracy at Court

　　Emily Pov

　　The air escapes from my lungs as I watch the video play on the television. My hand automatically goes to my lips, showing my shock. The huge wolf is just like the one that saved me earlier this year. It has lupine red eyes and fur as black as night, almost pitch-black on camera. But the difference was in the gentleness. Benson had saved me from the kidnappers, torn them all apart, creating a sea of blood and guts all over the room, but he never laid a finger on me.

　　The memory of that night swirls in my mind, the way he handed me the jacket and kept his eyes lowered so as not to see me undressed. Since day one, Benson has always been a kind and gentle man. It hurt for him to betray me by sleeping with Nina, even after it became public knowledge that he had been poisoned. Nina admitted to framing him.
