Chapter 91The next morning, Orion was lying in the shade, alert to every movement around him, like a tireless guardian.Beside him, the female settled down with some difficulty, letting out a low, soft sound of fatigue. Dolores watched the scene with a melted smile on her face.“She’s beautiful,” she commented, crossing her arms. “And very calm.”“Calm for now,” Zacky joked. “I want to see her when the cubs are born.”Orion lifted his head when he heard the sound of a car engine.“Good morning, André!” Dolores greeted him, smiling as she approached the car. “Coffee is almost ready, come join us.”Zacky laughed, watching the servals.“I think we have another challenge before breakfast: deciding on a name for her,” he commented, looking at the female, who was now lying comfortably beside Orion.“How about ‘Luna’?” Dolores suggested, enchanted by the female’s eyes. “It has a serene air, it suits her.”“Hmm…” Zacky frowned, scratching his beard. “But she looks like she’s going to be misc

Thomas stood still before his parents’ grave, his eyes filled with tears despite the passing years.Twenty years had gone by since his father’s death and ten since his mother’s. Even so, the absence had never stopped aching in his heart.Juliana stood beside him, holding his wrinkled hand with the same affection as decades before."I miss them so much, Juliana…" he murmured, his voice heavy with longing.She squeezed his fingers."I know, my love. I miss my parents too…" she sighed. "But unfortunately… or perhaps fortunately, I’m not sure… that’s life. It’s the natural cycle."Thomas nodded slowly."We’re not young anymore either." He gave a faint smile. "I’m already past seventy… and despite that, I feel good. Strong, even. But…" He paused. "I’d like to meet my grandchildren before I die."Juliana looked at

Chapter 95She was taken for examinations, the cut on her head was stitched, and they checked for possible fractures. Rafael waited outside, pacing back and forth, feeling guilt crush his chest.Almost an hour later, the doctor came out of the room."She is out of danger. She had a mild concussion and some bruises, but she’ll be fine. We just need to observe her for a few hours."Rafael felt his legs weaken with relief."Can I see her?""You can. But don’t stress her."He entered the room slowly. The young woman was lying down, her red hair spread across the white pillow.

He stayed there, waiting, and two hours passed.Then, slowly, her eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes.For a few seconds, she was confused. The ceiling was not her bedroom’s.

He narrowed his eyes against the cloud of dust rising from the dirt road.The pickup truck zigzagged dangerously. It burst through the open gate with a jolt, skidded on the gravel, and stopped with the bumper scraping against the wall, scratching the paint.Pâmela placed a hand over her chest, her heart racing."My God!"Rafael stepped out of the barbecue area, jaw tight and brow furrowed.The driver’s door opened with difficulty. A man climbed out, almost tripping over his own feet, the smell of burnt oil and alcohol spreading before he even began to speak. Three workers got out of the back seat, sweaty, stained with grease, laughing quietly."Thanks, guys," the driver said, patting their shoulders. "Without you I’d be sleeping on the roadside tonight."They waved, exchanging pats on the back, and headed toward the ranch hands’ h
