"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 


After days of tense negotiations, Alpha Biansky finally agrees to let me go, but it’s going to cost us. Along with the territorial concessions Jason proposed, the North Pack is demanding a ransom of ten gold bars. 


On the day of the exchange, I’m dragged from my cell and shoved into a heavily guarded carriage. Alpha Biansky’s son, Harry, along with their gamma and a group of warriors, are in charge of overseeing the handover. 


As we near the stream that separates our territories, my heart pounds. I've been held captive for weeks, and freedom is just within reach. But I can’t shake the anxiety about facing Jason and confronting the truth about my lies. 


The carriage finally halts, and I’m roughly yanked out by the guards. Across the stream, I spot Jason and his warriors waiting. My breath catches in my throat at the sight of my ex-husband.
