My name is Susan, and I'm the daughter of the Dark Moon Pack's Alpha. Per tradition, I was betrothed to Daniel, the crown prince of South Dania and the future Alpha King, to become his Luna Queen. However, he had been postponing our Marking Ceremony repeatedly, using the excuse that he wanted his coronation first. I thought he was simply being prudent, until I witnessed him proposing to another she-wolf, telling her that she was the one he truly wanted. He was even laughing about the engagement, calling it a necessary tool. Understanding that, I realized that he never formed the mate bond with me because he needed the freedom for adultery and not suffer the pain of backlash in treachery. He wouldn't acknowledge my status, but insisted that I fulfill my spousal obligations nonetheless. He didn't Mark me, while keeping me tangled in his web of lies. I hence decided to disappear in three days under the new moon, when everyone would be waiting to witness our Marking. I wanted to show him that not every wolf was willing to be a tool.

Running Under the New Moon Chapter 10
Daniel went missing. After he was chased out of the Dark Moon Pack's sacred valley, there had been no concrete information on his whereabouts, despite the South Dania royal correspondent stating that the former prince retreated into seclusion due to health reasons. There were plenty of rumors. Some claimed to have spotted him venturing cursed icy plains of the north, seeking the Spring of Lost Memories and never returning.Others claimed he joined the mercenaries, boozing and fighting every day, his golden locks now a dirty yellow… And once he was drunk enough, he'd be howling my name at the moon.There were even some who claimed that he defected to our enemies, intent on rallying their forces and reclaiming the capital, but was stabbed in the back and subsequently ripped into pieces.There was no telling what was true, but one thing was for sure—the former crown prince who had once shone brilliantly was gone, along with his ambition, lies, and regret.As the kingdom eagerly di

Daniel had really given up on whatever leverage and dignity he had left.He pawned off the jewelry left by his mother, fraternizing with the worst scum out there, and even offered ten years' worth of the northern regions' harvests just to get their hunting packs to help track me down.Like a rogue wolf on the hunt, he was sniffing everywhere, not resting as he tried to find any traces that could lead to me.Meanwhile, in the sacred valley of the Dark Moon Pack, I was at the altar, dressed in a silver gown, my long hair braided and adorned with moonstones.I seemed to sparkle against the sun, while Lyon stood beside me, his figure towering as he held my hand, our matching engagement rings glinting against the sun's glow.Lyon's voice was deep and strong, ringing throughout the valley as he swore, "I, Lyon, take Susan as my beloved Luna. My claws shall be her protection, my domain shall be her safe harbor—all my honor, loyalty and my very being is hers."Our packs cheered thunderou

However, any hope Daniel had left was snuffed when the doctor presented him with Anna's clean bill of health.On top of that, she only got pregnant two months ago—the time when his trysts with Anna grew frequent, while I became increasingly silent around him.He crumpled the paper in his hand and changed straight into Anna's chambers, his voice cold and flat. "Abort it."Anna was just stroking her own belly and her head jerked up in shock, all color draining from her face. "No… Daniel, you can't do this! It's your pup! Our flesh and blood!""Flesh and blood?! More like a culmination of lies!" Daniel bellowed, his eyes flaring with ice-cold disgust as he moved closer to her. "You lied to me, pretended to be poisoned to get my sympathy, and even tricked me into proposing to you! And now you're trying to tie me down with a bastard?!""I wasn't lying! I love you!" Anna burst into tears, lunging at him to grab his arm. "I didn't want to lose you, so I lied… But it's true! Just feel him

There was only a gloomy silence in the chambers aside from Anna's endless sobs, while Daniel stood there, staring at her belly.Pregnant?!He was taken aback, but he remembered that night when Anna cried in despair when the black marks appeared on her wrist—when she said she'd only survive three months.He believed her and was really guilty about it, and so agreed to propose to her, even letting her record a holograph of him doing it."You said… You were poisoned," he said dryly, his eyes studying her closely.Anna stopped crying right then, but averted her eyes and said meekly, "The doctor said… Pregnancy brings miracles…""Miracles?"Daniel's smile did not quite reach his eyes as he suddenly reached out and grabbed Anna's wrist, forcefully pulling up the sleeve.Underneath, her skin was perfectly fair and certainly had no blemishes, let alone black marks or bruising."Wow, what a miracle," Daniel growled coolly even as he released Anna's arm and turned to bark at the doorway

The search remained fruitless on the seventh day of my disappearance, while Daniel's eyes became even more bloodshot.Just then, Anna entered with a bowl of warm soup, gently coaxing him, "You need to rest, Daniel. Maybe Susan just wants to be alone for a while…""For a while?!" Daniel leaped up

As I was no longer in Daniel's chambers in the dawn after, Anna was standing there, smiling sweetly and happily. "Now everyone knows that you proposed to me. That means your engagement with Susan is annulled, right?"Before Daniel could speak, the doors were opened with a bang as Blake rushed in to
