Chapter 21 Jaxon
Dancing with Evangeline is the highlight of my night. She fits against me perfectly. When Dad and
Jordan left to start calling the fight gurus, I knew this was my chance. I only have one more night before
I’ll go back to my pack and Evangeline will go back to hers. I know I want to date her for the next few
months, but seeing her one day or evening a week won’t be enough.
‘Jordan, would you be okay with me inviting Alpha Luke and Luna Katerina’s family to spend some time
at our pack, training with us.’ ‘Training? Is that what we’re calling it these days?” she asks as I moved
toward Evangeline in the crowded room.
‘There will be some training.’
‘Sure, Jax. Invite your mate and her family to visit our pack.’
‘Jordan, she doesn’t know she’s my mate, she’s not 18 yet.’
‘Trust me, Jax, she knows.’
Her response makes me pause. ‘You and I need to have a conversation in the very near future,
Jordan.’
Her sigh lets me know that I’m right.
‘Thanks, sis,’ I say, thanking her for letting me invite my mate and her family to our pack. As the Alpha,
or soon to be Alpha, it’s her decision.
‘Because I’ve ever said no to you?’
‘Because you’re the best and you’re going to be an incredible Alpha.’
‘Got news for you, I already am.’
That makes me smile as I walk up to Eve. ‘Yeah, you are.’
Now, as I dance around with my mate in my arms, I know I need to see her again soon.
“What do you think your father and your family would say toing to our pack and training with us.
Come stay a week each month,” I ask her.
“That will depend on the schedule he gets for the fight champs, or whatever they are.”
“Guru is the term dad and Jordan used.”
She looks around the room. “I’m guessing that our weeks won’t be filled for the entire time, and maybe,
if your pack gets a guru we don’t…”
She looks at me. “We could invite you toe train. And, vice versa, your father and brother could be
nice and invite me and my sisters toe train,” I finish for her.
“I’ll talk to Al. He’s more likely to allow it than dad who already has you on his dad radar.”
“Yeah, I went straight to Jordan,” I say.
“I think we can make it work,” she says.
“When do I get my date?” I ask.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
“When do you want it, Alpha?” she asks in a flirty tone that has me going hard and has her smirking at
her power over me.
I growl softly and have the satisfaction of watching eyes widen and her mouth open on a gasp.
That’s right gorgeous, two can y at this game. We’re pressed so close together that I can feel her
nipples as they harden against my body.
“What is it, exactly, that you’re offering Evangeline?” I ask her, my voice low and seductive.
She licks her lips as I slowly spin her around the dance floor. “We were talking about a date?” She says
and the flirty tone has been reced by false bravado. She’s trying to act like she’s not as impacted by
our closeness as I am, but I can feel her body’s response to me, just as she can feel mine.
“Hmmm, if we’re talking about a date, I want one as soon as you’re willing to go out with me. Tomorrow
night sounds good to me. And in case my body’s response to you wasn’t obvious enough, I want
everything with you, Eve.”
I whisper thest part in her ear as the songes to an end. I have the satisfaction of seeing her
eyes darken.
I walk her off the dance floor, knowing that her father will never allow me to dominate her time while
she’s still underage.
I take her hand, k*issing her knuckles, wanting to k*iss so much more.
I look up at her, keeping her hand by my mouth. “Save the slow dances for me tonight,” I k*iss one of
her knuckles, running my tongue over her skin as I watch her. Her eyes go nearly ck as I stand up. “I
want them all.”
She nods her head, just as Magdalena and Makae rushing over. “Come on, Evie.” Maka say,
pulling Eve onto the dance floor.
“Alpha Jaxon,” Magdalena says, nodding at me with a knowing smile on her face.
“Magdalena,” I say, nodding my head at her as she turns to follow her sisters onto the dance floor.
“Are you going to ask anyone else to dance tonight, big brother?” Rowan asks,ing to stand beside
me.
“Nope.”
“You think she’s your mate?”
“I know she is. I can feel it, smell it. She’s everything.”
“So, what are you going to do for the next three months? Surely, you’re not nning to wait that long to
see her again?”
“Of course not. I’ve asked her on a date, and I’ve also talked with her about our families splitting time
and sparring in each other’s packs. That way, she and her family cane and stay, I can show her
our packnds and hopefully Alpha Alejandro and Alpha Luke will allow us to visit their packnds.
They be fools to deny their family this opportunity, especially if we get one of the gurus that they don’t,”
I say, looking at Rowen.
“That’s brilliant, Jax.”
“Thank you, I thought so.”
“You know, you’ll make just as good of an Alpha as Jordan.”
I turn my attention to my sister. “So will you.”
She shakes her head. “I don’t want it, not like you and Alpha Evangeline seem to. I don’t know that I
want all that responsibility on my shoulders.”
“Then why are you in thepetition?” I ask really wondering at her intentions. “Jaxon, it’s the chance
of a lifetime. Plus, I get to test myself. I may not want my own pack, but I’m still an Alpha.”
“Well then, I know you’ll put in a good showing. You have a lot of good intuition, you should use it
where you can in thispetition.”
“I n to, but I won’t be upset when I don’ t win. There are others here who want it more than I do.
They deserve to win, you included.” “Thank you,” I say, meaning it. It makes me proud that my family
thinks I would be a good Alpha.
“What about Evangeline?”
“What about her?”
“What does she want? Does she really want to have her own pack, or is she here more as an Alpha?”
Rowen asks.
“She wants her own pack. It’s something we’ll have to discuss more. I’ve already started those
conversations, but like Tobias and via, both of us would continue topete, even after she
recognizes me as her mate.”
“Whereas, if I found my mate, I would drop out of thepetition. Well, if he’s an heir. I’d have to think
about it if he were in thepetition with me. Creating a new pack with my mate does sound exciting.
But I wouldn’t want to do it alone.”
“You’re nearly 18, Rowan. You should know soon.” She just shrugs.
I watch as Eve and her sisters walk off the dance floor and go get some water. Just as she starts to
drink, the music changes to another slow song.
“There’s my cue. I’ll see youter, Rowan.”
Evangeline’s eyes lock on mine as I make my way toward her. She sets her ss down and by the
time I get there, she’s extending her hand for me to take.
“Shall we?” I ask.
“I saved the dance for you, Alpha.” She’s back to being flirty. Perfect.
