The Grumpy Alpha and His Chubby Mate
Zara Lovegrove Moonclaw is used to being the pack misfit. In a world of sleek, fast modern werewolves, she is a proud, plus-size, and chubby female who would rather spend her time devouring romance scrolls than running with the wolves. But when her old pack falls apart, she is forced into the rogue lands of the Moonhaven Metropolis, taking a low-level maid job at the Moonlight Feast Hall just to buy her next meal.
Then, a disastrous shift brings her face-to-face with Theo Kingsley Silverfang—the legendary, grumpy, and fiercely powerful Bandy Alpha Warrior who rules the Silverfang Royal Pack.
Theo is brooding, intense, and completely hardened by a devastating, highly public mate-bond split with his greedy ex-mate. He has sworn off the Lunar Fate Mark forever. But the moment his eyes land on Zara’s beautiful, heavy curves and fierce green eyes, his inner wolf screams one word: MATE.
When Zara's safety is threatened by a perverted stalker in her basement apartment, Theo steps in like a true warrior, sweeping her up in his arms and demanding she move into his royal estate. Living under the same roof, the explosive attraction between the grumpy Future Alpha King and his sweet, chubby Future Luna becomes impossible to ignore.
Can an outcast plus-size wolf find her happy ending with the most powerful Alpha on the ice arena, or will the ghosts of his royal past tear their Eternal Moonmate bond apart?

Chapter: C7“No.”“Then you have never truly tasted beer at all, little wolf. The flavour of craft beer has so many layers of smoke and honey, it leaves that cheap water from the rogue lands far behind in the dirt.”“Someone is very excited about his drinks.”“You are right about that. I care about my craft beer just as much as I care about open-flame cooking. That is why I have two Ironfang Tavern locations and the Alpha's Table—the high-end feast hall I own for the royals.”“I am guessing you love sweet ice cream too, if you own a shop with your best friend.”“Luca is the one who could live off ice cream alone,” I say with a laugh. “We travelled to the Silver Lake Territory years ago, and he ate sweet cream three times a day for ten days straight. He had to try every single shop in the area. I teased him about it constantly. I told him he only loved it because his jaw was broken during a heavy fight on the ice, and his teeth had to be wired shut with iron threads. The only sweet thing he could

Chapter: C6“My ex-mate is a horrible piece of work. She loves to pull everyone’s strings like puppets.”“And she is a cheating traitor,” Zara adds.I arch one dark eyebrow at her. “You followed all the bad stories about my mate-bond split?”“With huge attention,” she says, a tiny smile appearing on her face.“So, you have been tracking my moves, Miss Lovegrove Moonclaw?”She pushes a strand of her hair behind her ear, her face turning a very pretty shade of red. “You made a giant impression on me the very first time I saw you by the water.”“Was it because of my bright, happy face?”She frowns at me. “I have looked at a thousand drawings of you in the pack news, and you never look happy. You always look mean.”“Should I be scared of your tracking habits, little wolf?”Her cheeks turn even redder, looking like ripe winter berries against her soft skin. “Teddy was the very first Bandy player I ever spent time with, and when he told me his stepfather was a true legend of the game, I wanted to make

Chapter: C5Theo Kingsley Silverfang POV “You cannot live in this broken cage for another second, Zara,” I say, my voice vibrating deep in my chest.I growl softly, my large hands still resting on her soft, shaking shoulders. The heavy scent of her fear mixes with the damp, rotten smell of the basement room, making my wolf claw at my insides. This tiny box is not fit for a wolf of the Lovegrove Moonclaw Pack, especially not a beautiful, plus-size female who deserves to be draped in the finest silks of the Royal Moon Market.“I do not have anywhere else to go, Theo,” she whispers, her green eyes looking up at me through thick, wet eyelashes. She looks so small and defeated, her yellow tunic clinging to her heavy curves as she trembles. “The Ashborne Wolfblood Pack is gone. I have no silver coins left, and no pack will hire a big, clumsy maid who just got kicked out of the Moonlight Feast Hall.”“You are not going back to that hall, and you are not staying in these rogue lands,” I snap, my jaw tig

Chapter: C4Our waitress? I think, my heart sinking.A dark, heavy thought hits me right then. Callum is the bad guy here. He is the one stealing resources from the royal owner, and Damon is helping him do it. I am almost sure of it now.Even though Theo has all the royal power from the owner, he stays quiet and holds back. He is just trying to watch and learn their secrets today. He does not want to show his claws too early. If Callum is a rogue wolf inside the pack, it makes sense that he does not care about fairness.Theo turns his eyes back to me, his voice softening just a little bit. “Zara, why don’t you tell everyone exactly what happened?”My eyes fill up with hot, heavy tears. “Well, he—”“What is done is done!” Callum shouts, cutting me off before I can finish a single sentence. “Zara caused a noble customer to get hurt. The hot berry juice could have burned her skin. The lady is going to take us to the Grand Wolf Assembly now because of her.” He steps closer to me and points to the doo

Chapter: C3Zara Lovegrove Moonclaw POV“Oh, you must be joking!” Callum Harrington Blackthorn laughs right in Damon Thornclaw’s face, his shoulders shaking under his turquoise coat. He shakes his head like he just heard a funny joke from a human. “No, no, no, young Alpha. That is not possible at all. You are making a huge mistake.”My head jerks up, and my mouth goes wide open. “You were inside your back den the entire time the juice spilt! How can you stand there and talk like you know everything when you did not see anything at all? Did the Moon Goddess give you magical all-seeing eyes while you were sitting at your desk?”Callum wrinkles his little nose up at me. “What did you just say to me, girl?”“You do not even care about the truth,” Theo says, his voice getting deeper and louder. He takes a step toward Callum, making his huge shadow fall completely over the little pack steward. “You are just throwing Zara to the winter winds before you even listen to her story.”Callum walks right up to

Chapter: C2Zara Lovegrove Moonclaw POV“Look at this mess!” Lady Esme Whitlock screams, her face turning bright red as she jumps up from her wooden chair. She points her finger right at me, and her eyes look like they want to poke holes through my chest. “You stupid, clumsy wolf!”“I am so sorry,” I whisper. I quickly grab a dry cloth from my apron and try to reach out to clean the sticky, wet juice from her fancy white fur cape.“Get your hands away from me!” she barks, slapping my hand back. “Do you even know how many silver pelts it took to make this? This is a royal market design!”My hands shake so much that I drop the cloth. My throat feels super tight, like I am going to choke. I feel so small and weak inside my big, chubby body. I always mess up everything. I cannot even carry a simple jug without causing a giant disaster.“I am really, really sorry, my Lady,” I say, and my voice sounds totally broken.“Your apology is completely useless!” she shouts, and the whole Moonlight Feast Hall g
