"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.

I'm in shock after Lady Arianrhod's declaration. It was totally unexpected. The pressure upon my shoulders becomes almost unbearable as I realize the weight of this responsibility.

Jason places a comforting hand on my shoulder. 


"You can do this," he says softly. "We've come this far. We'll figure it out together." 


"The scepter responds to intent and will. Your love for your child will guide you." 


Elowen steps forward and offers her help, her eyes shining with determination. 


"I can assist you. My knowledge of fae magic may prove useful in understanding its workings." She says with a comforting tone of voice. 


I take a deep breath, steeling myself. 


"Alright," I say, my voice now confident.
