"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

Eden wasted no time, his footsteps a whisper against the stone floor as he hastened to our sides. The room seemed to pulse with the silent beat of his determination, and I could feel the air grow denser, charged with the unity his presence commanded. A shiver ran down my spine, not from fear, but from the sudden infusion of strength that Eden's proximity brought. 


"Mother, Father," he said, the words resonant with the depth of his young, yet ancient spirit. His hand found mine, small but surprisingly firm, intertwining fingers that trembled not from weakness but from the burgeoning power of kinship. Jason's hand closed around my other side, and together, we formed an unbroken chain of solidarity.
