The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 72 (Jaxon)

Several hours later, Eve and I head back downstairs to meet up with our families. It’s only a couple of hours before dinner and many people have already started to arrive for the festivities. It’s an exciting time, one that will most likely never happen again in our lifetime.

The energy and excitement are palpable, and all of the Alpha families will be arriving either tonight or tomorrow morning. As we enter the dining hall, we see that it’s been set up with televisions that are playing recaps of the events and showing all of the contestants in those events, starting with the first race.

“It’s hard to believe that we’ve been doing this for over half a year,” Eve says to me, just as we hear someone call her name.

“Evie!” Makayla says, rushing over and throwing herself in Eve’s arms.

“Hi, Makayla! Are you here with Mom and Dad or Alejandro?”

“Alejandro. Mom and Dad are coming tomorrow morning, but I wanted to be here to enjoy the party tonight,” she says, full of enthusiasm. “And look how big you’ve gotten!”

“Thanks, I think. I feel big,” Eve says as Alejandro walks up to us.

“Hey sis. Hey Jaxon.”

“Alejandro, it’s good to see you,” I say.

“You as well,” he says, before hugging Eve. “You’re looking good, sis.” Not much later, Jordan arrives with my sister Raelyn.

“Hello, my beautiful sisters! Jordan, I wasn’t expecting you until tomorrow,” I say, hugging them both.

“Since my Beta and Gamma are no longer in the competition, I feel comfortable being away from the pack overnight. Plus, Mom and Dad aren’t coming until tomorrow, so they can cover if anything is needed.”

“Yeah, about that…” I say as Raelyn rushes over to say hi to Makayla. I think they bonded over being the only ones in their families too young to compete in the contest.
