"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

As we finalized our plans, I felt a renewed sense of purpose wash over me. We were readying ourselves for whatever challenges lay ahead, determined to protect our home and loved ones. 


That evening, as I sat with Jason and Eden around the fire, I shared my thoughts. "I can't shake the feeling that something significant is coming. We must remain united and prepared." 


Eden looked up at me, his expression serious. "Do you think the Black Faes will attack again soon?" 


"I do," I replied, my heart heavy. "But we will face it together, just as we always have." 


With the watch rotations established and our spies sent out, I felt a sense of readiness settling over our camp. Days passed, filled with training, strategizing, and strengthening our bonds with one another. But then, one fateful night, our vigilance was put to the test.
