The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 33 (Evangeline)

After Grandmother Isabella told us about my parents coming to stay at Alpha Jordan’ s pack next week, I immediately went to my room to call my mother.

“Is it true?” I ask as soon as she answers.

“Good morning to you too, Evangeline. It’s nice to hear from you.”

“Mother, is it true? Are you and dad coming to Alpha Jordan’s pack next week?”

“Yes, your father and I will be escorting the family to Alpha Jordan’s pack to participate in the specialized training for the contest. In addition, Alpha Jordan has graciously invited the other 7 contestants from our pack to join in the training as well as Alejandro. However, your father thought that this would be a good time for give Alejandro some practice being an Alpha. Interestingly, your brother declined and is joining us as well.”

I snort. “Of course, he is mother. He’s mated to Teagan, and this is an opportunity for him to get to spend a week with her.”

It’s quiet a moment. “Your grandmother said that you and Jaxon have been training hard this week.”

“What were you expecting, mother? That I would give up my dreams for my mate? That’s not who I am. You should know me better than that.”

“You’re right, I should. I’m looking forward to seeing you, Evangeline. I hope that at the end of this week that you will return home. Your father has Mateo scheduled next week and he has agreed to reciprocate with Alpha Jordan and her pack.”

“What is Mateo’s specialty?” I ask, curious. I’ m getting quite a well-rounded workout in the first three weeks of practice.
