Alpha Jonas agreed to allow me to stay as long as both of us kept our families apprised of the situation.

“I’m not going to separate mates, but I’m also not willing to start a pack war with one of my pack
member’s daughter and grandchildren,” he says.
“Understood. And just know, Alpha Jonas, if it bes a problem, I’ll go stay with my Aunt Sophia,”
Eve had told him.
“I don’t think that will be necessary. Will the two of you be joining us for warrior training?”
“Yes! Do you know if Beta Jared got any of the fighters toe train in your pack?” I ask.
“He did. “We’ve got Ezekiel starting tomorrow. We only have him for a week, but we’ll take what we can
get. Collin and the others who are still in the contest will be participating in extra, specialized training
with him in the afternoons. You are wee to join if you’d like. The morning training sessions will be
open to the entire pack.”
“Thank you. What’s his specialty?” I ask.
“Aikido. I believe that all of their specialties have simrities but subtle differences. If you’re still here in
a few weeks, we also got Leviing. His specialty is Jujitsu.”
“I’ll talk to Jordan, see who she scheduled and when. Maybe we can work out a trade. Our packs are
close enough tobine training sessions, if possible,” I tell him.
I had borrowed a car, headed back home to speak to Jordan and pick up some clothing before
returning to Alpha Jonas’s pack, intending to stay as long as Eve is. Alpha Jonas had given me a room
near Eve’s.
That was a week ago and this week has been grueling. Ezekiel is a master, and it was obvious from
day one that he expected us to master this martial art in one week, even if he had to beat it into us. All I
have to say is that I’m extremely thankful for my advanced healing. Everyone struggled and by the end
of the week the pack members that joined the morning training had dwindled, but those of us that were
training for the contest continued and each day he pushed us harder.
Jonas has 9 contenders in his pack who were part of the specialized training and Jordan agreed to
trade fighters, since she has a different fighter, Nn,ing next week. Nn specializes in kick
boxing and Jordan agreed that not only could Alpha Jonas’s pack members join, but that Eve could join
our training as well. We haven’t quite figured out the arrangements yet, but I’m hoping that maybe Eve
can convince her parents to not only allow her, but also her siblings to join us.
Eve talks to Magdalena every night and sometimes Maka joins the call, asking when Eve will be
coming home.
“I’m not sure yet, Makie. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t get together. I miss you too.” Eve told her
last night.
She and I have been sharing a room for thest week. We each have our own, but we’ve chosen to
sleep together. However, after our training sessions at night, it’s all we can do to eat, shower and fall
into bed. We’re both exhausted, but I love sleeping next to her, curled up around her.
I’m sure Jonas knows that we’re spending our nights together, but he doesn’t say anything and neither
does Isabe. Eve’s grandmother has been supportive from the very beginning, and it’s been great
getting to know her this week.
Today, is thest day of training with Ezekiel. We’ll have one day off then we have to figure out
arrangements for going to Jordan’s pack to train. If Eve’s parents give her a hard time, we’ll just
continue to train here in the morning and go with Jonas’s pack to join training in the evenings before
coming back here. But I really hope that her parents will agree to let Eve and her siblings stay at our
pack for the week. I want my family to have a chance to get to know her and I know Eve misses her
siblings.
“Hello, Grandma Isabe,” I say, bussing her cheek as wee in from morning training, ready to eat.
She told me to call her Grandma, saying that since I was going to be mated to her granddaughter, that
I’m family too. If only Eve’s parents felt the same.
Every day, the pack has been gracious in making sure that there is plenty of food. Those of us that are
training have been voracious eaters and there is always arge amount of food avable for us.
“Jaxon, you and Eviee sit with me,” Isabe says, shooing others out of their seats to make room
for us.
Eve chuckles at her grandmother before grabbing a te of food and sitting beside her. I say goodbye
to Collin, Beta Jared’s son who is also a contender in the contest, and I sit across from both of them.
“So, today is thest day of training with Ezekiel?” she asks.
“Yes, honestly, I’m thankful to have a day of rest, grandma. This week has been harder than I
expected,” Eve says.
Isabe nods, looking at me.
“I wanted to ask you about your sister’s invitation for my grandchildren to stay at her pack next week to
train with Nn. Do you think that invitation is still open?” she asks me.
“Yes, ma’am. I know it is. I spoke to Jordanst night and she was asking me if I knew any more about
theming to stay and how many to expect so she could make sure there are rooms for all of them.”
“Excellent.” She turns to Evangeline. “I’ve spoken to Alejandro, and he has indicated that he will make
sure that you and your siblings are all allowed to go to Alpha Jordan’s pack to train.”
“What about my parents?” she asks.
“I suggest you speak to your mother this evening. If she gives any pushback at all, you let me know
and I’ll handle her. This is too important. I’ve watched the two of you this week, and while I can see that
there is a romance here, I’ve also seen the dedication andmitment you have to this contest. Your
parents should not interfere with that, and I’ve basically said the same to your mother. I may have also
sent her a picture of the two of you falling asleep over your dinner,” she adds sheepishly.
I look at Eve, smiling, before turning back to Grandma Isabe. Damn this woman is a force to be
reckoned with.
“Which night that we were falling asleep?” I ask. There were several to choose from.
“All of them. She needed to know this isn’t some silly fling and that the two of you are supporting each
other and helping each other through thispetition as well as getting to know each other. And I, for
one, have enjoyed getting to know you, Jaxon. I’ m proud to call you my future grandson.”
“Thank you, Grandma Isabe,” I say, meaning it. I want Eve’s family to like me, just like I want my
family to like her. I intend to spend my life with Eve. Any friction between our families will only make our
lives more difficult.
Isabe focuses back on her food, not looking at us when she drops the bomb. “But I do believe that
your mother and father intend to stay the week in Alpha Jordan’s pack as well.”
