The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)
Chapter 29 (Evangeline)
I step away from Jaxon, not wanting my mother to know he’s here until I know where she stands.
“Hello, mother,” I answer.
“Evangeline, are you at Alpha Jonas’s pack? Have you had a chance to settle in?”
“Yes. I’m here, and I’m on the back porch with grandma.”
It’s quiet for a moment and I look back at the porch. Everyone is busy doing something except for Jaxon, he’s watching me.
“I could tell you that your father regrets what he did, what he said, but I’m not sure it would matter right now.”
“Not right now,” I say, turning back to look at the forest.
“Will you tell me what happened? Your side of the story. No judgement from me. I just want to know so I can understand,” she says.
My mother may be the iron fist of the family, but there’s a reason for that. She understands our family, she understands the dynamics between all of us and when she doesn’t, she finds out so she can mediate, just like she’s doing now.
“I spent the night with Jaxon.” I say, waiting for her to blow up at me, like my father did.
It’s quiet. I don’t say anything.
“Did you want to expand on that? Spending the night could mean all sorts of things. It could mean that you had s*ex, or it could mean you laid on the ground, looking at the stars telling each other your secrets.”
“Something in between those two options.” I say.
“And you believe that he’s your mate?” she asks.
“I know he is. And he knows that I’m his mate too.” I say.
“Okay. No need to get worked up. We’re having a conversation, Evangeline,” my mother says placatingly.
