The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)
Chapter 27 (Evangeline)
When we get to my grandmother’s pack,
Alpha Jonas and Luna Melinda are there to greet me.
“Alpha Jonas,” I say, as I get out of the car, “I hope it’s okay that I stay here for a while.”
“I’ve already spoken to your mother. You can stay as long as you like,” he tells me.
“How about I show you to your room? I’ve put you down the hall from your grandmother,” Luna Melinda says to me, hooking her arm through mine.
“Thank you. I really appreciate this,” I say.
“It’s no problem. I understand difficult parents when it comes to the mate bond,” she says, looking at her mate.
I’m glad they finally worked things out. I had heard rumblings, some overheard conversations between my mother and father or my mother and grandmother. And since Alpha Jonas was both of their alpha at one point, they had been angry that Luna Melinda’s mother was keeping her from her mate.
As we walk, she continues talking. “I knew Jonas was my mate before I turned 18, too. You just feel the pull to them, right?” she asks me.
I’ve never had the opportunity to spend time with Luna Melinda, but I like her already.
