"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 interrogate myself about the Alpha King Jason's genuineness, he opens up even more and takes me aback with a stunning statement. 


"When Eden's health began to decline, I started to suspect something wasn't right. But I never imagined..." He trails off, shaking his head. "I should have looked deeper, should have questioned Betty more.” 


With this, his eyes begin to shine as he fights to contain tears. I place my hand gently on his shoulder in an attempt to confort him. We stand still for a while until our son Eden finally wakes up. 


As the sun gradually sets, the young prince begins to stir. His eyes flutter open, focusing first on me, then on his father Jason. 


"Mommy? Daddy?" he says weakly, a small smile spreading across his face. "You're both here." 


I lean down to kiss his forehead gently. 


"Yes, sweetheart. We're here, and we're not going anywhere." I reply with assurance.
