The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 6 Jaxon

“I’m going to go to introduce myself.” I tell Jace as Councilman Jason finishes his speech.

“Bad idea, Jax. Alpha Luke might be a casual Alpha, but when it comes to his daughters, I hear he’s fiercely protective.” Jace says to me.

“I’m introducing myself, Jace. I’m not proposing we mate for life.” I tell him, not taking my eyes off of her.

“How old is she, anyway?” I ask.

“Alpha Luke claimed Katerina the year after your dad claimed your mom, so I think she’s 17, definitely not 18 yet.” He says.

“Do we have a roster somewhere? I’d love to know when she’ll turn 18.” I say, watching her as she looks around and I make my way toward her.

Since she’s not paying attention, I put myself right into her path so that she has no choice but to run into me. The minute her body touches me, my body lights up, tingles rushing all over me. It’s the most pleasant and yet uncomfortable feeling I’ve ever had. Pleasant because it feels f*uc*king amazing and uncomfortable because I just went rock hard and there’s no way she can’t feel it.

I do my best to cover my discomfort. “Alpha Evangeline, I’m Alpha Jaxon.” I say by way of introduction. Up close, I can see that she has the most beautiful pale blue eyes I’ve ever seen. Her thick, rich brown hair hangs to her lower back. She’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.

“I know who you are Alpha Jaxon. Even if I didn’t know your parents, I’ve met your twin, Alpha Jordan.” She says, her eyebrow raising, but she gracefully doesn’t call me out on my hardened state.

“What about me?” Jordan says, walking over and putting her arm through mine.

“Hello Alpha Evangeline, hello Alpha Magdalena.”

“Hello, Alpha Jordan.” They both say, inclining their heads. “I was just telling your brother that I knew who he was, and of course, that I’ve met you when you’ve visited our pack.”

“Jax, you’ve never met Evangeline and Magdalena?” She says, looking at me quizzically.

“Jordan, when do I travel around to the packs? That’s what future Alphas do.” I say to her.
