The Luna’s Choice by Kat Silver

Chapter 63: Ayla

Mina and I were leaving the cellar when we ran into Briggs.

“Luna, I need a favor,” he said, “and possibly your help.”

“We need to get to the bottom of your father’s research,” he said. “There has to be something in there that can tell us more about what is going on. The others have this handled.”

I nodded. “Okay,” I said. “Let’s go.”

I sent the professor a message and he said he would be over in a few hours. I got each of us a drink and some snacks and settled in for a long session.
