"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 moon hung heavy in the sky, its silver light cascading over the training grounds where my warriors honed their skills with a fervor that belied the darkness encroaching upon our lands. Claws dug into earth, fangs glinting in the night as each member of the pack pushed themselves beyond their limits, seeking to tap into that primal force that would be necessary to fend off The Black Faes. 


"Again!" Elara Windrider's command cut through the air, her voice a whip that drove them harder. I watched as they obeyed, bodies straining, muscles rippling under fur and flesh alike. My heart swelled with pride at their dedication—their unyielding determination to protect what was ours. Each warrior bore not just the weight of their own lives, but the lives of those they loved, the very future of our packs.
