"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 days following the battle were a blur of activity and reflection. The camp buzzed with energy as we worked tirelessly to rebuild and strengthen our defenses. The victory over the Black Faes had bolstered our spirits, but the lingering sense of unease kept us on edge. We knew the darkness was not vanquished—it was merely regrouping, biding its time for another assault. 


My son Eden and I spent hours together, training and refining our magic. His growth was remarkable, and I could see the leader he was becoming. His confidence shone through in every spell he cast, every decision he made. He was no longer just my son; he was a warrior, a protector of our people. 


A hard-won victory
