"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 release me, but at a steep price. In addition to the territorial concessions Jason offered, the North Pack demands a ransom of ten gold bars. 


On the day of the exchange, I'm brought from my cell and loaded into a heavily guarded carriage. Alpha Biansky's son Harry, along with their gamma and a contingent of warriors, are tasked with overseeing the handover. 


As we near the stream that marks the border between the two territories, my heart races. After weeks in captivity, freedom is so close I can almost taste it. But a part of me also dreads facing Jason and confronting the truth of my deception. 


The carriage comes to a stop and I'm roughly pulled out by the guards. Across the stream, I can see Jason and his warriors waiting. My breath catches in my throat at the sight of my ex-husband.
