The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 64 (Jaxon)

“Anything you need to say to Jaxon, you can say in front of me,” Eve says to her father.

I pull her to me, k*issing the side of her head while she glares at her father. My fierce protector. “Go spend some time with your mother, Evangeline. You know she’s dying to hear her grandson’ s heartbeat and hear all about your pregnancy. Your father and I will be fine.”

“Trust me when I tell you that your mother would have my balls if I did anything to upset you in your current condition,” Alpha Luke says to Eve.

“You forgot the part where I’d cook them up and force feed them to you,” Luna Katerina says, her brow arched, looking like she means every word. Both Alpha Luke and I flinch at that visual.

Eve turns to me, her lips twitching at her mother’s words while she k*isses me. When she turns back, she points at her father.

“I’m going to hold mother to that. You’ve been warned.”

We watch as they walk away, Luna Katerina putting her arm around Eve. “Will you walk with me?” Alpha Luke asks me.

I nod and we head toward the claiming territory, away from prying ears.

“First, how is everything with Evie’s pregnancy? She looks healthy and she moved on in the competition, so I’m assuming she and the baby are good?” he asks, looking at me.

“She’s really good. Our son is healthy, Evangeline is having a pretty easy pregnancy so far and she got through the last of the physical challenges in the top 10. Your daughter is amazing, I hope you realize that,” I tell him.

“I do,” he says, sliding his hands into his pockets and stopping by the entrance to the old claiming territory. “I do, and yet, I didn’t choose for her to be my successor, to be my Alpha heir,” he stops, turning to look at me. “I have a lot of regret over that.”
