Luna knew one thing clearly—the arrow was already on the string. There was no slowing down. His already hoarse voice grew even drier, as if craving something.“Clar… relax.”The words fell, and in the next instant he was already on the other side of the bed. His gaze—dangerous. Desire churned within it, layer upon layer. And then, sounds out of place filled the air.Clar had just come back to her senses from that suffocating kiss when the next surge of sensation made her scream. Her eyes widened as she stared at Luna in disbelief. How could he… This was far beyond anything she knew.But slowly, her breathing grew uneven. Her body was drawn in, her awareness sinking. Her eyes closed, moist, her toes curling unconsciously. And as Luna continued, movement after movement, her strength faded—until she fell asleep from exhaustion.Leaving Luna alone, fully awake, eyes bright.He lowered his gaze, tracing h

Because Ben was standing close, he overheard part of the conversation. His palms kept sweating, nerves tightening little by little, yet Clar’s answer still chilled his heart. “Alright. This is called chopsticks. I’ll teach you.” Clar only wanted to finish the meal peacefully, never expecting this rabbit to be so curious. By the end of the meal, Ben’s affection for her had risen again—but at the same time, he clearly realized there was no longer any place left for him in her heart.After sending Ben off, Clar immediately turned her attention to the stone bed. She wanted to remodel it. When Mae heard that she was making something new again, she shamelessly refused to leave and stayed inside the cave. Clar began recalling what her roommate once described: in European homes, fireplaces and heated platforms were commonly used. The bed structure contained hollow heat-conducti

Clar knew that Lucas must not have eaten yet after returning, so she gathered the dried meat strips and fruit from outside the cave, roasted part of the fresh meat, and lightly stir-fried the rest. Then she waited at the cave entrance with Luna.During this time, Luna seemed hesitant, as if he had something to say. Even after finishing a large pot of meat, he still looked conflicted. Clar gently pulled his long fingers over and placed his hand on her lap, looking at him with trust. “Luna, if there’s something on your mind, just say it. We can face it together.”Looking at her openness, Luna finally spoke the thoughts he had been holding in all afternoon. “Clar, I know I’m still too weak. I want to leave for a few days… to hunt and absorb the beast crystal Ben gave me. I’ll definitely return before the Harvest Festival, b

Clar spent the entire morning flipping the dried meat strips and smoking a new batch of meat. She calculated in her mind: if she could smoke as much as possible over the next five days before the Harvest Festival, it would help, as she certainly couldn't rely solely on smoked meat through the entire cold season. At least with fresh meat and yams to pair it with, the winter would be more bearable.Once she finished her tasks, she muttered softly, "Why haven't they come back yet?"Barely a moment later, Clar saw the familiar figures of a lynx and a tiger in the distance. She was surprised—Ben's beast form was almost twice the size of Lucas’s, truly a majestic tiger."Clar, I'm back."Clar quickly rushed forward to pull Lucas into her arms, spinning him around to check i
