The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 47 (Magdalena)

Caleb and I stayed up talking the whole night. Okay, we may have done more than talk, but we did a lot of talking, too. Unlike Evie and Jaxon, we didn’t run a race together and do nothing but talk for over 24 hours. We’re starting at a bit of a different place.

But I do know one thing. This man is my mate. After spending one night with him, I have a much better understanding of why Evie was willing to leave her home, her family and her pack for Jaxon. Caleb and I may not be 18 yet, but the bond is there and it’s already very strong.

Caleb and I agreed that we like the idea of training together for the contest. Just like Evie and Jaxon are doing. They support each other, being there for each other and it also gives them time to get to know each other. That’s what I want with Caleb. Time. Now, I just have to convince my parents.

Caleb sneaks out of my bedroom, after sneaking a few more kisses. So, by the time that Evie comes back, I’m showered and ready to face the day. “Okay, I have an idea,” she says by way of greeting.

“Good, because I don’t, other than I have no intention of walking away from Caleb for six months,” I tell her.

“The bond is strong, isn’t it?” Evie asks, smiling.

“Crazy strong. I supported you before, but I totally get it now.”

“I think we need to get mom on our side. If she won’t listen to us, then we won’t get dad on our side. If she does, there’s no way he’ll go against mom. Or at least, he won’t last long.”

“Caleb wants to be there too. He wants mom and dad to know that he’s serious.”

“Is he coming back here, or what’s the plan?”

“I’m meeting him at breakfast,” I tell her.

“We should get Al involved too. I know mom saw it, but I don’t think Al really said anything to either of them.”
