"Yes, Mr. Arnoult. If all goes according to plan, we should get the results soon." As he sat behind his laptop, conducting his virtual conference early in the morning, Onyx's rich voice boomed in the empty balcony. "Okay, then, I'll see you again when you return. Mr. Reighs, have a nice day." Onyx sighed as he sipped his coffee and shut off his laptop. His gaze is drawn to the lovely garden that surrounds the hotel.

"Boss!" When he turned back to his secretary's voice and saw her rushing up to him and he frowned in confusion.

"What happened Lilian?" He inquired, and she came to a halt in front of him.

"I just got word from the hospital that Sir Keegan is doing great and has asked to return to Walferdange." Her words instantly brought a smile to his face as he stood up and started walking inside. "Call for the driver, I'm going home!" Were his words as he ran to his room, while Lilian beamed and began to call for the driver and complete everything.

Soon after, Onyx strolled out of his hotel suite, carrying his luggage, which the bodyguards waiting for him grabbed as soon as they saw him.

"The car is ready for you, and I've notified your family of your arrival," Lilian informed Onyx, who nodded. "And, sir, should I inform the pilots and crew that they must depart?" Onyx gave her a sidelong glance as she inquired.

"No, call them and ask them to meet us in the lobby. I'd like to speak with them."

Ophelia groaned in frustration as she sat in the lobby with the rest of the crew, waiting for the arrogant businessman to arrive. Who knows what he's going to say now! She sat on the sofa, her chin rested on her palm, as she chewed on her bottom lip. When the elevator door opened, her gaze was drawn to the arrogant billionaire stepping out with his entourage. He was dressed neatly in a grey suit, his hair well-coiffed, and his eyes were as sharp as ever. Only today his arrogant smile and smirk had disappeared from his face. Instead, it was replaced by a strange radiance that she couldn't quite put her finger on. He appeared different, he looked more...handsome. Those sharp features of his gleaming under the moonlight surged through her memory as his haunting browns captivated her thoughts once more.

"Good morning." He greeted, and she was jolted back to reality as she realized she was staring at him. "Even though I might not require your service in the following week, I would like to keep you all here. Please take a week off to rest, explore Luxembourg City, and enjoy the beauty of this small country. Consider this a vacation. All living expenses will be covered. Thank you for your service." He stated, and she could sense the gratitude in his voice. Her eyes, though, narrowed in suspicion. How can his attitude change overnight this drastically! Before walking out, he gave her a quick glance and a fleeting smile. While the rest of the crew said their goodbyes to him and began planning on what they would do throughout the week, she remained to stare at the now-empty exit of the hotel through which he had exited.

As he walked away, she felt a sense of emptiness in her surroundings. There wasn't a single moment during the week when he didn't irritate her. His taunting words and arrogant smirks irked her. She was supposed to be relieved that he was gone, so why was she feeling as if someone had taken something away from her? "Would you like to come along with us, Ophelia?"

"Ophelia?" Dallas shook her shoulder slightly in an attempt to get her attention.

"Huh?" She said, staring at him. "I asked if you wanted to accompany us on the hike," he inquired once more, enthusiastically.

"Um, sure, I guess." Even though her answer was unsure and her mind was foggy, she could go for a hike!

"I'll make sure to bring some for you as well." With one hand on the steering wheel and the other clutching his phone, Onyx replied. He drove down the narrow street, which was surrounded by a lush green forest. "All right, I'll see you later." He muttered into his cell phone and hung up. He sighed and placed his head against his hand, staring ahead. While the greenery calmed his browns that were hidden behind the black shades, his mind was overwhelmed with an incomprehensible void. His eyelids sloppily closed and opened when he noticed someone strolling by the road. When he caught sight of the female, his eyes widened as he realized it was Ophelia! What exactly is she doing here? Were his first thoughts, as he came to a stop immediately beside her. She looked up and her eyes widened when she saw Onyx.

His gaze scanned her from head to toe, her face studded with dirt and mud swirls. Her shirt was ripped in parts, her jeans were slathered in muck and mud, and the backpack on her back shouted loud and clear that her adventurous spirit had taken her somewhere.

"What are you doing here?" "Are you all right?" She sighed as they questioned each other in unison.

"I'm all right." She replied.

"You don't seem to be all right." He said this as he stepped out of the car and walked in front of her. His eyes inspected her from head to toe to see if there was any evident injury. "Where are you going in the first place?" He inquired, standing upright.

"To the hotel." She exhaled a sigh.

"By what? Barefoot?" He scowled.

"Of course not! I'd love to use a comfortable vehicle, that is of course if I can find one." She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Come." He turned around and walked back to his car. When Ophelia did not follow him to his car, he turned his head. She stood with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes narrowed, staring at him.

"Come on, I'll drop you off at the hotel."

    Judith groaned as she moved her body for the hundredth time trying to get into a comfortable position to sleep. She turned to her right, then groaned and turned to her left. Unable to get comfortable, she lay flat on her back."Can't fall asleep, love?" Drazhan asked in a raspy sleepy voice as he nudged closer to her and rested his large palm on her swollen belly. His palm softly caressed her belly and Judith sighed."I can't get comfortable." She whined and Drazhan kissed her temple."Want me to fetch some more pillow?" He asked and Judith looked around her. There were two pillows under her head, one on her right, one on her left and a few under her legs. She sighed and shook her head. Drazhan pulled his body up and rested his weight on his elbow and looked at her."Can I do anything?" He asked and Judith looked up at him."Take him out of me. He's been way too active for the past week. Always moving around, kicking the crap out of me." Judith whined and Drazhan chuckled."How do you

    "What are you looking at? Eat up." Onyx said sharply, and Ophelia sighed as she took a mouthful of mixed vegetables. He sliced up another slice of beef and lifted it in front of her lips while she chewed slowly. Ophelia shook her head and grumbled."You better eat up or I'll spank you!" Onyx threatened and she poked her tongue out."I'll rather accept that than eat another bite of that!" She remarked this while pointing to the plate. Onyx shook his head and sighed."You'll be hungry as soon as we get there." He replied, and she averted her eyes."I won't and I'll be carrying some snacks with me." Onyx gave up after hearing Ophelia's triumphant words. He rose up and put the food away. He extended his hand and assisted Ophelia in getting up. Ophelia clutched his hand with one of her hands while the other rested protectively on her swollen pregnant belly. Onyx escorted her to their bedroom and seated her on the bed."Wait a minute; I'll be right back with your dress." Ophelia rolled her

    "Repeat those words again, Ophelia! I dare you!" He snarled."I will find someone else to appease my needs. You could stay here and jerk yourself or bring Ivy with you.""Have I ever said anything like that to you? Have you ever heard me utter such words to you with such blunt disrespect!" He snarled, and she glanced down, unable to bear the heat of the scorching browns."Answer me!""I would like to leave!"“This is the last time I’m warning you, Ophelia. Never come back here.” He said as he withdrew himself. He turned on his feet without another glance.“Why is it that I am the one who loves you more? Why is it that I am the one who has to wait for you, yearn for you? Why is it that you don’t love me the way I love you?” She asked in a dejected voice, tears slowly streaming down her face.“I did this because I love you. I did this to protect you.”“No! You are lying! You find it so effortless to just abandon me! You do not need my love! He deserves it!”“Whom?” He asked with wide ey

    Passing wolves bowed their heads, smiled, and showed their respects as they headed to the infirmary. They know who Ophelia is and what she is going through, and they have gradually warmed up to her over the last month. Ophelia smiled at them as she and Cressida proceeded down the corridor to the healer.Cressida knocked on the door, and the healer opened it instantly. With a respectful bow, she opened the door and invited them inside."Ech hunn dës aus der Emgéigend Mënsch Stad, Luna Cressida." As she handed Cressida a small pouch, the healer stated. (I brought these from the nearby human town, Luna Cressida.)"Merci, Bessie," Cressida said as she took the pouch and turned towards Ophelia. (Thank you, Bessie.)"Take this inside. Use them and bring them to me. I'll be waiting for you right here." Cressida stated with a loving smile as she handed the pouch to Ophelia. With slightly trembling hands, she accepted it and proceeded to the restroom.Ophelia closed the door shut and tore the

    "Are they not made properly to your taste?" She asked, even though knew she was losing her appetite slowly."They are delicious. But I'm full." Ophelia kindly said."I can make you something else. What are you craving, sweetheart?" Cressida asked as she walked closer to her."I'm craving for him." She said and Cressida let out a low sigh."He is doing this to protect you, dear.""This is where the misunderstanding is beginning. His beast didn't try to harm me. He merely tried to mark me as his. He was afraid that Onyx would regain control before he had his rightful portion of my flesh." Ophelia informed and Cressida frowned."It is unusual that the beast is chasing after the human part of their mate. This has never happened before.""That is something I have thought about a lot actually. I questioned and searched for an answer. And I did find one. Onyx's beast cherishes me, mom.""How do you know that?""I can feel him now. He meant no harm and this distance Onyx is putting between us

    As the voices surrounding her yelled for her not to close her eyes, her heart felt heavy and burning with anguish. His agonizing cries ripped her heart as she battled for her life. He screamed and sobbed in misery as if he had been injured. She felt as if her body was being lifted and taken somewhere. She could scarcely speak, but every word she managed to utter was his name.
