The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 61 (Evangeline)

It’s been a month since Jaxon and I left the second competition of the contest.

I hadn’t wanted to see my father again and I haven’t answered his calls either.

He continues to call me at least once a day.

Title of the document

Jordan had come home and given us the rundown of the next phase of the competition, agility. The competition will be in one month’s time, two months from the date of the last competition. This time, there will be 20 individuals eliminated, bringing the pool of contestants to 30.

Of the remaining 50 that are still currently in the competition, there is an equal distribution between the packs, ranging from four to six individuals from each pack that are still competing. In Alpha Jordan’s pack, she has six, including Jaxon, Rowan, Jace and Carter, her Beta’s son. In addition, she also has two warriors who made it through the last competition.

From my pack, there are five remaining, including me, Magdalena and Lazio. I was happy to learn that Lazio won his competition after I left. I had called to congratulate him.

Ever since she’s returned, Alpha Jordan has been running agility drills with us. She has set up the arrowhead agility course as this is what we will be tested on in the competition. She times us, pushes us and gives us pointers on how to become more agile, how to shave off a second here or a second there.

Jaxon is keeping an eye on me, but overall, the agility part of the competition is pretty easy. Yes, you have to sprint, but overall, the competition only takes about 10-15 seconds. At first, it took longer. Most of us had difficulty at first, taking about 20-30 seconds, losing precious second on the cuts, but we’ve all gotten faster with the daily sprint workouts that

Jordan puts us through.

We have to practice our agility on both our left and right sides, as the competition will be run in pairs. Everyone will get three chances to run, and the best score is what is used to determine the top 30 that will move on in the competition.

Jordan is a great instructor and from everything I’ve seen, a great Alpha. She’ s tough, strong and compassionate. Even though both her Beta heir and Gamma are competing for their own packs, she’s out here everyday training them, trying to make them better, trying to help them achieve their goals, which ultimately means she could have a deficit or deficits in her pack. She’s a true Alpha, and living here in this pack, watching how she runs the pack is inspiring.
