The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 60 (Jace)

It’s time for my match. I was hoping that Jordan would be here again, but I also know there are several of our pack members who are battling today and I’ m not the only one in this timeslot. I begin stretching, trying to get my head centered on the match, not my mate.

“Hey, where’s Jordan?” Taylor asks, jogging up.

“Probably helping one of the others in our pack. I’m not the only one battling at this time.”

“I can coach you, if you want?” she says.

“Sure Tay, thanks.”

She looks over to see my opponent. It must be a family trait, the way they assess their opponents before a fight. Jordan had the same assessing look on her face that Taylor does now. “I think that guy is a Gamma, too. But he’s not as strong as you are,” she says as I continue stretching. Jordan would know for sure who this guy is.

I look over at him. “How can you tell?” I ask her. He’s smaller than I am, but he’s muscular.

“You’re ripped, Jace. That guy is muscular, but he’s not ripped,” she says shaking her head at me as if it’s obvious.

“Hey, I’m here,” I hear Jordan say and I turn, seeing her running over. As soon as I see her, everything in me settles.

She’s smiling at me until her eyes move past me to Taylor and her smile falters. “Unnnnnless, you don’t need me,” she says.

“No, I do. Taylor was just…”

“I was filling in until you arrived. Now that you’re here, I’ll let you take over,” she says and turns to walk away.

“Thanks, Taylor,” I say, and she waves her hand, not looking back.
