The Claiming by Cooper Book 4

The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 46 (Evangeline)

Jaxon and I spent the evening laughing and dancing together, celebrating his sister becoming the pack’s Alpha. It felt a lot like we were already a mated couple. No one else asked me to dance, not that Jaxon gave them the chance, but there were no jealous she- wolves hovering around us either, clamoring for a chance to dance with

Jaxon. It was a great night and now, I’m heading to my room to shower and change before I sneak up to Jaxon’s room for the night.

When I get out of the shower, Maggie is just walking in.

Title of the document

“Hey Maggie, did you have a good time tonight.”

“Hey, Evie, yeah I did,” she says distractedly, going to her bed.

“You okay?” I ask her.

“Yeah, I’m good. You headed to Jaxon’s room?”

My sister and I have been best friends our entire lives. We know everything about each other and right now, I know something is bothering my sister.

I finish getting dressed in my pajama shorts and top and I sit on my bed. “Spill,” I say.

“Is it that obvious?”

“Well, I mean, you’re not like Makayla and bouncy all the damn time, but you’ re usually more upbeat than this, especially when we’ve just come from such a fun night.”

She begins chewing on the inside of her m*outh. A sure sign that something is bothering her.

“I found him, Evie.”

I wait, thinking there’s more. She doesn’t say any more, she just looks at me.

“Found who?”

“Him. My mate.”

I jump up, pulling her into a hug. “Maggie, that’s wonderful!” I say, before stopping and pulling back.

“Wait, why aren’t you more excited?”

“Dad, obviously.”

“Oh shit.”

“Yeah, oh shit. If he’s struggling this much with you, imagine how he’s going to act with me. I’m six months younger than you are.”
