"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

As we walked back towards the palace together, my strides matched his, every inch the Luna Queen ready to defend her realm with tooth and claw. Our hands found each other's, a silent vow renewed amidst the shadows of looming conflict. 


The twilight cast elongated shadows across the training grounds as Jason and I settled upon a weathered stone bench, our breaths now calm after the day's exertions. The air was cool, whispering through the trees that bordered the palace, their leaves rustling like quiet spectators to our intimate debriefing. 


"Kelly," Jason began, his voice carrying the weight of experience and the softness reserved for moments like these, "you've shown remarkable progress today." 


I nodded, allowing myself a moment to bask in the warmth of his approval. 


"However," he continued, his gaze steady upon my face, "never forget the delicate balance we must maintain. Our powers are vast, but without control, they can be our undoing." 


Love reinforced
