Chapter 21 Jaxon

Dancing with Evangeline is the highlight of my night. She fits against me perfectly. When Dad and Jordan left to start calling the fight gurus, I knew this was my chance. I only have one more night before I’ll go back to my pack and Evangeline will go back to hers. I know I want to date her for the next few months, but seeing her one day or evening a week won’t be enough.

‘Jordan, would you be okay with me inviting Alpha Luke and Luna Katerina’s family to spend some time at our pack, training with us.’ ‘Training? Is that what we’re calling it these days?” she asks as I moved toward Evangeline in the crowded room.

‘There will be some training.’

‘Sure, Jax. Invite your mate and her family to visit our pack.’

‘Jordan, she doesn’t know she’s my mate, she’s not 18 yet.’

‘Trust me, Jax, she knows.’

Her response makes me pause. ‘You and I need to have a conversation in the very near future, Jordan.’

Her sigh lets me know that I’m right.

‘Thanks, sis,’ I say, thanking her for letting me invite my mate and her family to our pack. As the Alpha, or soon to be Alpha, it’s her decision.

‘Because I’ve ever said no to you?’

‘Because you’re the best and you’re going to be an incredible Alpha.’

‘Got news for you, I already am.’

That makes me smile as I walk up to Eve. ‘Yeah, you are.’

Now, as I dance around with my mate in my arms, I know I need to see her again soon.
