Chapter 249 Raymond’s Announcement

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 ex–boyfriend 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 life and is wanting to start anew. He wants to make up for all the damage he has done in the past and begin a real father–daughter relationship with her. She’s still skeptical, despite what she told Lila about giving him another chance, but she’s also excited to have the chance to get to know her father again after all these years of having no contact. But that doesn’t mean she trusts him. “So, now you decide to act eyes in his

She said nothing, but she turned in the direction of the board building and began to walk with Alpha Jonathan trailing behind her. “What’s going on? Since when are you and Alpha

this lunch so I want you to put on a winning smile and be polite. Understood?” She said nothing for a long while, but she soon sighed and nodded. Thirty minutes had gone by, and Alpha Jonathan had finally arrived in front of the school in a black limo. Rachel had never been inside of a limo before but knowing who it belonged to didn’t make her excited. The door of the limo opened, and Alpha Jonathan sat inside on the dark leather seats motioning for them to enter. Rachel looked up at her father with a worried expression, but he gave her no expression in return as he slid into the limo. She had a nasty feeling in the pit of her stomach, bur she swallowed it down and slid into the limo as well. She was surprised that Sarah wasn’t there as well, but she saw a woman with long dark curls and bright green eyes seated beside Alpha Jonathan. She wasn’t someone Rachel had ever seen before, but she looked young. Not as young as Rachel, but too young to be Alpha Jonathan’s companion. “I’d like you to meet a friend of mine, Jasmine.” Alpha Jonathan introduced. “Jazzy, this is my new business partner Raymond and his daughter Rachel.” “It’s a pleasure to meet you. both,” she said; her voice was as smooth as silk and yet had a bit of playfulness in her tone as she leaned forward to look at Rachel intently. “You are quite a beautiful girl; you must get your looks from your mother,” Rachel’s face flared; there was something off about this girl, but Rachel couldn’t figure out what I was. “I’ve heard a lot about you,” she said, giving Rachel a beautiful smile. “I can’t wait to get to know
