"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

The weight of the undisturbed silence in the council room was heavy on my shoulders as I gathered my most trusted allies around the ancient oak table. Elara Windrider's robes whispered against the stone floor, her presence a calming force amidst brewing tempests. Gamma Thorne's eyes, fierce and resolute, met mine with an unspoken vow of unwavering loyalty. And Eden, my son, sat straight-backed, his youthful visage marred by the gravitas of our dire situation. 


"Paul Biansky has been claimed by the Forbidden Glade's sorcery," I began, my voice slicing through the stillness. "We cannot let this darkness fester at the heart of our lands." 


Elara nodded solemnly, her knowledge of ancient magic an invaluable beacon in the murk that was to come. "The Forbidden Glade does not yield its secrets easily, Luna Queen. Its dark magic is old, unpredictable.”
