"Hi, yes you aren't dreaming, it's the chubby Kelly," I say inwardly as I see the unhappy face expression of Jason who is disheartened. 

The guests laugh at us. They call our couple all sort of names. "The prince charming and the pancakes' eater Kelly" is one I can sadly remember."

"I, Jason Bentley of the South pack, reject you Kelly Thompson as my mate and the Luna Queen," he declared fiercely.

***
Kelly Thompson, an eighteen-year-old curvaceous and wolfless she-wolf, has been quietly admiring Jason Bentley, the heir apparent to the throne of the dominant South pack, for a number of years.

Unfortunately for Kelly, she doesn't get the same attention in return from Alpha heir Jason, as the handsome daughter of his old father's Gammas, Betty Nord, is already the love of the pack's future Alpha. But, the plump Kelly has an advantage over the skinny Betty because of a strong vow made by Jason's father, the Alpha King Don Bentley, that his son will marry the daughter of his Betas who gave their lives two years ago in a fight against the North pack's fiercest adversaries in order to preserve the life of the Alpha heir.

But clearly, nothing goes as smoothly as Kelly imagines.

The Rejected Curvy Luna Queen

As the guards scramble to obey my orders, I turn to the head housemaid Tina. 


"Bring me everything we have on Doctor Lorry Springstone's background. I want to know every detail of her life before she came here." I demand with a firm tone. 


Tina nods and hurries off, leaving me alone with the guards who are transforming the palace into a hive of frantic activity. Every room, corridor, and hidden passageway is searched meticulously. The security at the gates is doubled, with strict orders to let no one in or out without the my express permission. 


After watching for a while how the guards track down the possible escape path of Doctor Lorry, I decide to return in my study. As I step in, my mind race with unanswered questions. 


How could she have disappeared so completely? And how did she find that secret passage? Did she receive any help from one or many of my subjects? If so, who could it be?
