The Lunar Vow He Broke, So I Took Our Pup and Fled the Pack

This year, during the Moon Renewal Festival, my mate, Alpha Layton Blackhollow, did something I never expected.

He told me to leave the Blackhollow Pack for a vacation. He even arranged a seven-day journey to the Northern Moon Kingdom beyond the Frostfang Sea.

I thought he had finally learned how to care for me.

Then I overheard him speaking with our son.

“Father, you already completed the moon bond with Aunt Renzia. What about Mother?”

My son’s voice was soft and confused.

“It is only a false mating ritual.”
