"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

LORRY SPRINGSTONE'S / KELLY THOMPSON'S POV 


As I start to question the authenticity of Alpha King Jason, he surprises me with a heartfelt confession. 


"When Eden's health started to decline, I had this nagging feeling something was off. But I never expected..." He trails off, shaking his head. "I should’ve looked closer, should’ve pressed Betty for answers." 


His eyes glisten with unshed tears, and I gently press my hand onto his shoulder, trying to offer some comfort. We stay like that for a moment until our son, Eden, finally stirs awake. 


With the sun slowly setting, the little prince begins to wake up, his eyes fluttering open as they first focus on me, then shift to his father, Jason. 


“Mommy? Daddy?” he murmurs weakly, a small smile creeping onto his face. “You’re both here.” 


I lean down and kiss his forehead softly. 


“Yes, sweetheart. We’re here, and we’re not going anywhere," I reply, making sure he feels secure.
