"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.

LORRY SPRINGSTONE'S/KELLY THOMPSON'S POV 


I then hear the thundering of paws behind us, getting closer with each passing second. My heart pounds in my chest, threatening to burst as adrenaline courses through my veins. 


"There!" Jason shouts, pointing ahead. Through the thinning fog, I catch a glimpse of what looks like an ancient stone archway, its surface covered in glowing runes. 


The scepter's light suddenly intensifies, nearly blinding us as it shoots toward the archway. The runes flare to life, pulsing in sync with the scepter's glow. 


"It's a portal!" Elowen yells over the cacophony of howls. "We need to get through it!" 


We push ourselves harder, our legs burning with the effort. I risk a glance behind and immediately wish I hadn't. Dark, shadowy forms are gaining on us, their red eyes showing no mercy. 


Not humans!
