The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 59 (Jaxon)

As Evangeline and I walk out to the training fields, I stuff food into my mouth. I already knew I needed to win today so I could support Eve in winning our pack, but now, there’s no choice. No matter who I battle today, even if it’ s Tobias who I consider my biggest competitor, I must win. I can’t expect my pregnant mate to win a pack for us. As focused as I am on this battle today, I still notice that my mate is limping slightly. She’s trying to cover it up, but she must be in quite a bit of pain. “Stop worrying about me Jaxon. I can feel it through our bond. Get your head into this match.”

“You’re limping Evangeline. I want to carry you back inside and tuck you into bed,” I say to her.

“Well, that’s a fight waiting to happen,” she says, smirking at me.

I shake my head at her before looking up at the leaderboards and breathing a sigh of relief. I’m not fighting Tobias. I’ m not even fighting another Alpha, I’m fighting a warrior. I’m not stupid enough to think that automatically means I’ll win, but I have a much better chance of winning now.

My match is in the second round.

Magdalena has a match in the first round.

“Let’s go watch your sister,” I tell Eve.

Eve turns to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. “You don’t have to. Why don’t you go stretch and get ready for your match. I can go root Maggie on.”

I pull her to me, careful because I know she’s sore. “The two most important people in the world to me are right here. Why would I walk away from that?” I ask her, k*issing her softly. “Damn, you’re a charmer. If we have a son and he’s like you, the girls are doomed,” she says, making me smile.

We walk to Magdalena’s sparring circle. Today’s matches will still span over five hours, but instead often matches at each hour, there will only be seven.

When we arrive, I stand behind Eve, wrapping my arms around her and putting my hands on her stomach, hoping my heat will help to alleviate her soreness. She leans back against me while we wait for the match to begin.
