The Claiming by Cooper Book 4

The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 65 (Evangeline)

After spending a couple of hours talking with my parents, I promise we’ll come visit. I warn my father again about crossing me.

“I’m willing to give you another chance dad, but this is your last one. There won’t be any more chances. You either trust me and Jaxon, or that’s it. I want you in our child’s life, but not at the risk of my mate. He doesn’t deserve the treatment you’ve given him, and I won’t allow it.”

“I’ve been very honest with Jaxon, Evangeline. Someday, when we have more time, I’ll have the same conversation with you, if you’d like. In the meantime, I’ll just be thankful to have you around again and if you decide to give birth in your old dad’s pack, I know your mother and sisters will be thrilled.”

“What about you, dad?”

“I’d be thrilled as well, of course. I can’t wait to meet my grandson,” he says before pulling me into a hug. “I love you, Evangeline.”

“I love you too, Dad.”

It wasn’t much later before the announcement comes for everyone to meet outside to get the information on the next competition.

Nearly everyone has remained to get the information on the next competition. Flavia is the only Alpha that didn’t make it to round 3. Half of the remaining contestants are Alphas, many more are ranked members and then there are a few remaining warriors.
