Third Person POV

“Dad?” Rachel gawked as she stepped out of the auditorium. Her father, Raymond, stood before her.

“What are you doing here? When did you get here?” “Only a little bit ago,” he answered, though there

seemed to be something more he wasn’t saying. “Come with me.” He grabbed her arm and pulled her

away from the student she was aiding. “Right now?” She asked. “I was in the middle of something.” She

turned back to see Lila speaking with Headmaster Prescott. Both Brody and Becca remained frozen in

their seats; neither noticed Rachel was gone. “There’s something we need to talk about,” her father said,

pulling her away from the auditorium. Once they reached outside, he finally released her arm. “What the

hell is going on?” She asked. “I don’t know, but I didn’t like that, and I don’t want you involved.” Rachel

raised her brows at her estranged father. She didn’t have a great childhood with him around; since her

mother died her father has been nothing but cruel and abusive. He was the main reason she was driven

to drugs and alcohol and had to go to the horrid rehab in Elysium. He even knew of the horrid

conditions she was in while in that rehab facility and he did nothing to help her. It was something she

could never forgive him for and he’d been out of her life for many years after that. It was her recent exboyfriend that got her out of that situation; as much as she loves her ex and always will, she found out

over the summer that he wasn’t her mate. He ended up transferring schools after he got out of the

hospital because he couldn’t handle returning after what had happened at that party. He almost died

and as a result of that, Rachel ended up relapsing and then overdosing. It was a lot of stress, and she

wasn’t even his mate, which was found out after the fact. He was never going to be able to concentrate

on his education in an environment like that and decided to transfer schools. At first, Rachel was hurt

because she loved him, and they’d been together for so long. They have gone through a lot together.

But then she realized it was probably for the best. She always dreamt about being with her true mate

and it was clear that he was not. It was clear that their relationship would eventually kill them both if

they weren’t careful. Rachel has been dealing with being alone since the school year started, but

thankfully she has the love of her friends to help her. However, recently, her father has returned to her

anew. He wants to make up for

a real father-daughter relationship with her. She’s still skeptical, despite what she
