The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 28 (Jaxon)

I hold Eve, not caring who is standing around watching. I hold her until both of us start to breath more easily.

“Alpha Jaxon,” Alpha Jonas says. I look at him and he tosses me some shorts. “We prefer our guests wear clothes.”

I smile, grabbing the shorts out of the air and pulling them on quickly.

“I’m sorry to barge onto your pack lands like this, I just needed to know that Eve was okay.”

“You’re leaving?” Eve asks and I hear the desperation in her, the same one I feel, needing to be near her.

This is his pack. I need to respect him as its leader.

“I’ll call your sister, let her know you’re here,” he says.

“That’s not necessary,” I tell him.

“Our packs almost went to war several months ago, believe me, it’s necessary,” he says.

“Jaxon, it’s good to see you,” Melinda says coming over to us.

“What did he mean by that Melinda?” I ask her, forgetting myself. “Sorry, I mean, Luna.”
