Chapter 4

Jaxon

“Talk to me about the three guys I shouldn’t underestimate.”

She taps the paper. “Cillian, Enzo and Reid. Cillian is the youngest son of Alpha Asher and Luna Mignon. Both his sisters, Flavia and Gabriella, will be in the contest, but he’s the biggest threat. Not as high, in my opinion, as the others we’ve discussed, but you need to watch him.

She taps the next name. “Enzo is the son of Alpha Antonio and Luna Annabel. Alpha Antonio, as you know, is a true Alpha, so don’t underestimate Enzo, even though he’ll be under 17 when the competition begins.”

“What about his sisters?”

“Noelle and Valentina. Noelle is already 18 and Valentina is almost 18,1 think their focus will be elsewhere.” She says.

“Mate hunting.” I say, not surprised.

“Yes. And last, but not least on my list is Reid. He, like Lazio, will just be turning 16 and making the minimum cutoff. He’s the son of Alpha Davis and Luna McKenna. He’ll be strong, but I think you can take him.”

“His sisters? They didn’t make the list?” I ask.

“Justina, Phoebe and Haley. Justina, who would have been your biggest competition, is showing signs that she’s found her mate, and if correct, he’s an Alpha heir. So, I think she’ll drop out before the contest ends. Phoebe and Haley are strong, but not strong enough to be on this list, by my standards.” She adds looking back down at the list.

“There are some others, like Carter who may give you a good run, but they didn’t make my list for one reason or another.” She tells me.

Carter is our Beta’s son and supposed to be Jordan’s Beta when he comes of age.

“You’re not mad that Carter is competing to become an Alpha? I’m surprised Beta Elijah and Beta Layan aren’t angry at him for signing up.”

“Jax, this is the kind of opportunity comes along once in a lifetime. I’m pretty sure that every Beta and Gamma heir and maybe even some of the current Betas and Gammas are ready to compete. I would never be angry at someone having their chance to become an Alpha. Ella will be competing too. I just don’t think she stands a chance.”

I look at the list, at what my sister has put together for me. “You’re amazing, you know that?” I say, pulling her into a hug.
