"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

The first trial begins almost immediately as the forest around us shifts and changes. The trees seem to close in, their trunks growing thicker and more twisted. The air grows heavy with tension, and I can sense the magic pulsing around us. 


“Stay close,” Jason murmurs, his voice steady despite the unease that hangs in the air. 


As we walk, the shadows deepen, and I feel a cold chill creeping up my spine. The forest begins to whisper, the voices echoing my fears. I hear echoes of my past—memories of being separated from my family, of the pain of loss and betrayal. 


Suddenly, a figure emerges from the shadows, a dark silhouette that causes my heart to race. It’s a ghostly apparition of my former self, the Kelly Thompson who was cast out, the Luna Queen who lost everything. 


“Look at you now,” the apparition sneers, its voice cold and mocking. “You think you can protect your son? You’re nothing but a failure.”
