"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 damp earth beneath my feet mingled with the scent of pine and moss as we gathered in the heart of the forest, a natural cathedral shrouded in shadows and secrets. Elara Windrider's keen eyes scanned the perimeter, while Gamma Thorne stood watchful and silent, his hand never straying far from the hilt of his sword. My son Eden, his expression a mask of serene focus, held the magic-laden scepter with a reverence that bespoke of ancient bonds and unspoken oaths. And there, amidst us all, stood Alpha Markus, his aura a tempest of wild energy barely contained. 


"Markus," I began, my voice steady despite the storm of concern raging within me, "we cannot allow our pride to splinter the very foundation we've fought so hard to build. The Black Faes will not hesitate to exploit our disunity."
