"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 I stood before the council, I could feel the weight of our collective responsibility pressing down on us. The air was thick with tension, but also with a shared resolve. Each leader around the table carried their own burdens, and I could see that my words resonated with them. The stakes were high, and we all understood the importance of preparation. 


"Let's also establish a communication network," I continued, my mind racing with the possibilities. "If we can relay information swiftly between our scouts and the warriors stationed at the borders, we can respond more effectively to any threats. We need to be like a well-oiled machine, ready to move as one cohesive unit." 


Jason and Isolde exchanged glances before nodding in agreement. "I can take charge of the communication system," Jason offered. "We'll set up signal fires along the border that can alert us to any movement. I'll also train a few trusted scouts in quick response tactics."
