The Claiming by Cooper Book 4

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.

“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.”
