"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 Seed’s song has become a cacophony. 


It pulses through the fortress, a dissonant hymn that vibrates in my teeth and twists dreams into nightmares. The Forgotten avoid my gaze now. Even Veyra’s loyalty frays at the edges, her once-stoic demeanor fraying into restless glances at the horizon. The Hunter is a ghost in the roots, his voice fragmented, his form more shadow than flesh. When he does speak, it’s in riddles. 


***The Seed dreams of teeth***, he whispers one night, his words slithering through the oak’s bark. ***It wants to bite the hand that feeds.*** 


The first crack in reality appears at dawn. 


A slice of the sky shears off, crashing into the crystalline forest and shattering into a thousand reflections. In each shard, a different timeline plays out: 


—Eden alive, his scars glowing gold, leading an army of wolves. 


In confusion
