"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 dawn broke with a heavy mist hanging low over the forest, casting an eerie atmosphere over the camp. The air was thick with tension, and as I stepped out of our quarters, I could feel the weight of anticipation pressing down on my shoulders. Warriors were already moving through the camp, their faces set with determination as they prepared for the battle that lay ahead. 


I found Jason standing at the edge of the training grounds, his gaze scanning the horizon. He looked resolute, his strong frame a pillar of strength that steadied my racing heart. “We need to rally everyone before the sun rises fully,” he said, turning to me with a fierce glint in his eyes. “The Black Faes will not wait for us to be ready.” 


“Let’s gather the pack,” I replied, my voice steady. “Everyone needs to know what we’re facing. We fight as one.” 


Surge of determination
