"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 


We continues sailing across the dark lake, the urgency of their situation weighing heavily upon them. Jason takes over paddling, his powerful strokes propelling them swiftly towards the far shore. 


As we near the bank, I scan the treeline for any sign of pursuit. So far, the night remains still save for the gentle lapping of water against the canoe. 


"Where do we go from here?" I ask Jason in a hushed voice. 


His brow furrows as he considers our options. "We need to get as far away from pack lands as possible. The human town to the east has a train station. If we can make it there undetected, we might have a chance of escaping to England as planned." 


I nod, glancing down at Eden. Our son sits quietly between us, the golden scepter still clutched tightly to his chest. His eyes are wide and alert.
