Tangled in Moonlight: Unshifted (Ava and Lucas)

Chapter 324

Chapter 324 Ava: Luna's First Trial (III)

The main lodge is a humble log cabin with an open layout that somehow manages to feel both spacious and cozy. Exposed wooden beams stretch across the ceiling, and a massive stone fireplace dominates one wall. The furniture is simple but sturdy—all handcrafted, I'd bet.

No such thing, Grimoire says cheerfully. You'll have to make it up as you go along.
