"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

“Your Majesty! There’s an attack happening outside the palace! It looks like mercenaries sent by our arch-rivals from the North pack,” shouted a guard in complete panic as he burst into the council room. 


Jason was the first to jump to his feet and dash outside, with the rest of us following his lead. 


Suddenly, the day erupted into chaos, filled with snarls and the metallic scent of spilled blood. Shadows flitted under the ominous moonlight, howls ripping through the silence, each sound like a jagged knife cutting through the calm that once blanketed our land. My nostrils flared as the sharp scent of war—a mix of fear, anger, and fresh wounds—filled the air, awakening a primal urgency within me.
