Chapter 48
Gavin quickly bowed and gave a brief rundown of the situation. When he finished, he stole a glance at Andrew’s face, trying to gauge his mood.
Andrew’s lips thinned into a straight line as he listened. He glanced back at the arena. Even though he was worried, he chose to stay on the sidelines and watch. He knew Natalie would never make a move unless she was sure of herself.
Out on the grass track, Natalie was just about to mount. She pushed off lightly with her left foot, her right leg sweeping up in a smooth arc. Using the momentum, she spun gracefully and made a stylish leap onto the saddle.
This mounting technique demanded strong core strength and excellent balance. It was difficult, but it minimally disturbed the horse.
Sienna’s eyes widened in surprise at Natalie’s skill, and admiration quickly flashed across her face.
Onyx definitely didn’t see Natalie pulling off a move like that.
The moment Natalie launched herself into the air, Onyx’s ears shot up, and his muscles tensed instinctively. But she was too fast. By the time he realized what was happening, she was already in the saddle, having landed as lightly as a feather.
Onyx suddenly shuddered.
Natalie knew this was coming. ‘Here comes the rebellion.‘
Onyx let out a sharp, piercing whinny, threw his neck back, and reared up so high that his front hooves left the ground, almost standing upright.
This was the go–to trick for a wild horse to ditch its rider.
One of the staff on the sidelines couldn’t help but let out a gasp.
Andrew’s fingers tightened instantly, and his knuckles turned white.
Sienna’s heart was in her throat, and Moonlight, sensing her anxiety, pawed the ground nervously.
But Natalie was ready for it. The instant Onyx reared, she didn’t lean back and fight him. Instead, she moved with him, folding forward and settling deep into the saddle. Her legs locked tight against his sides, and her boots stayed firm in the stirrups.
She didn’t yank on the reins either. She knew that would only provoke him further.
At the same time, she lowered herself over his arched neck, almost pressing her upper body against him. Tilting her head, she brought her cheek close to his warm skin and murmured a few low, steady words, so soft that only Onyx could hear them.
Everyone stared, puzzled, wondering what she was up to. They thought Onyx was about to toss her off any second. Sienna was on standby, ready to intervene if needed.
Andrew was already mounted, inconsciously holding his breath. His grip on the reins was tight, ready to rush in to protect

Natalie if anything went wrong.
Onyx was reared up, almost vertical, reaching the peak of his stance.

Just when everyone thought he was about to throw Natalie off or go wild with a buck, he strangely paused for a split
second. His wild, fiery eyes met Natalie’s calm, unwavering human gaze, so close that they were almost touching.
Time seemed to stretch out.
Then, his front hooves, raised high, landed firmly back on the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
“Onyx didn’t buck her off?”
“Onyx’s actually letting her stay?”
As if to prove everyone right, Natalie rode Onyx, leading him in a steady walk across the grass.
Onyx didn’t resist at all. His steps went from cautious to smooth and lively.
Onyx held his head high, his powerful neck arched, and his mane flying in the wind. He didn’t look like a horse being
ridden so much as one moving beside a partner he had chosen for himself, the two of them seeming almost like equals.
Natalie sat tall in the saddle, her grip on the reins just right. Her face was still calm, not a hint of emotion showing.
After a moment of stunned silence, the crowd erupted in low gasps and whispers.
“Oh, my god… Did she really tame him?”
“That fast? Sienna spent days just trying to get Onyx to stop fighting her.”
“Who is this woman, anyway? She’s amazing.”
“Look at Onyx. He’s so gentle. It’s like he’s a whole different horse.”
Sienna was completely stunned. Her grip on the reins loosened a little, and the tension that had been holding her body tight finally melted away, replaced by a mix of shock and admiration.
She always thought she was the one who knew Onyx best and could get closest to him, but what she was seeing right now totally blew her mind.
Sienna had no idea what Natalie had done, but the outcome was undeniable. This was a genuine submission, not the kind
of half–hearted obedience he might be coaxed into once in a while.
That subtle mix of feelings she had for Andrew melted away in that moment. If it were to someone like Natalie, she didn’t
mind losing at all
The tension in Andrew’s body finally melted away.
He watched as Natalie rode with effortless composure, the tight line of his lips gradually softening. The burst of fear and

lingering anxiety from earlier faded, leaving only pride in its place. ‘I knew it. She’d never do anything unless she was absolutely sure of herself.
He rode over, pulling up near Sienna, his gaze never leaving Natalie.
Sienna noticed him riding over and turned to look at him. For a moment, the ease between him and Natalie felt so natural that it left no room for anyone else, and Sienna’s heart sank.
“They really do look good together…” Sienna couldn’t help but sigh.
Andrew was still mostly focused on Natalie, and with Sienna speaking softly, plus the wind and the distant sound of hooves, he really couldn’t make out what she said.
“Huh?” He turned his head toward Sienna, curiosity in his eyes. “What did you just say?”
Sienna waved it off, her smile brightening again. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just think she is incredible. Watching her makes me itch to try it myself.”
As she spoke, she patted Moonlight, who was getting a bit restless under her. “Want to race a couple laps?”
Without waiting for Andrew’s reply, she squeezed her legs, and Moonlight shot forward like a streak of white lightning.
Andrew watched Sienna ride off into the distance without giving her words much thought. Then he nudged his horse forward and followed after them.
By now, Natalie was urging Onyx to pick up speed. His strides stretched out, growing faster and more fluid, his tail streaming behind him as he raced forward with unbridled freedom.
Natalie leaned low over the horse, her body perfectly in sync with his powerful movements. Her hair flew wildly in the wind, and a look of exhilaration broke through her usual cool expression.
Sienna and Andrew soon matched Natalie’s speed, riding side by side with her.
About half an hour later, Natalie and Sienna returned, both looking thoroughly satisfied after their ride.
They walked their horses side by side at a leisurely pace, beads of sweat glistening on their foreheads, but their spirits were more alive than ever.
Sienna’s cheeks carried a rosy glow from the exercise, while Natalie’s cool composure had already returned.
Gavin had already set out warm water and towels and brought them over with a friendly smile.
Sienna wiped the sweat from her forehead and hurried over to Natalie, eager to ask about the details of taming Onyx she hadn’t understood, especially those low, mysterious syllables Natalie had whispered to the horse.
Natalie chose a few details she could talk about and gave a brief explanation. Sienna nodded enthusiastically, her eyes stuning with admiration.
