Novel & Cerita Rachel Brockman

"And you'll submit another statement. And another. As many times as it takes. But for now, this is a victory." They drink to justice. To Rachel. To the system working the way it should. Later, Elara reads her victim impact statement again. She hasn't looked at it since submitting it. Now she sees it with fresh eyes. The statement begins: "My name is Elara Vaughn, formerly Raven Craslow. I am speaking on behalf of Rachel Hart, who cannot speak for herself because Alice Monroe murdered her. On the night of April 16th, 2024, Alice Monroe brought Rachel Hart a cup of tea. Rachel was eight weeks postpartum. She was exhausted. She was struggling. She trusted Alice, who had been her friend, her con

She hadn’t meant to stare, but she didn’t look away either. Friday morning arrived. After Diego left for work and the girls went to school, Rachel picked up a tray of cookies and leftover carrot cake, took a breath, and headed across the lawn. She rang the doorbell. A moment later, the same blonde woman opened the door with a warm, easy smile. “Hi. I’m Rachel, from next door,” she said. “I thought I’d bring you something sweet to welcome you.” “Oh, that’s so kind,” the woman said, her eyes lighting up. “I’m Kristen McCarthy. Please, come in.”

Now I was supposed to belong. "Emma!" A cheerful woman appeared from around the corner. She had perfect hair and a bright smile. "I'm Rachel from HR. Welcome to your first day!" Rachel showed me to a desk right outside Jake's office. His office. The place where I would spend every single day working for the man whose heart I had broken eight years ago. The man who had no idea who I really was. "Mr. Sullivan should be here any minute," Rachel said. "He likes his coffee black with one sugar. There's a coffee machine in the break room down the hall. Any questions?"

He was about to say something, but… Rachel frowned and took a step forward. “My name is Rachel Hardy! I am the vice head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement!”

She explains. I honestly didn’t give the camera a second thought after I realized that I forgot it at the barn. I was worried about getting Gabe to the packhouse and then I was busy trying to take care of him while he recuperated. “I also hear that you helped my little girl too.” She beamed at me. Then she grabbed my hand to examine my palm. How did she know? “It’s alright Hannah, you can trust Christine”, Gabe tells me seeing that I am anxious about this conversation. Christine goes on to explain that she works as a researcher for a nonprofit that was established by a coalition of packs in the area.

I had made a sign which at the front door which says "If you're here for the interview, come in,climb the stairs and wait at the first door you see till your name is called" The first lady's name was Briella Downs,I had immediately fallen in love with her,the way she talked would make you want to drop your child for her without hesitating, she had this weird charisma and looked like someone who loved kids. She had also been babysitting her siblings since she was 10. Though she was young,I still felt like she'd be the best for the job.

Putting on my black high heels I give myself a last check before heading downstairs as I hear the first cars arriving. Arriving quietly behind my parents as they welcome the first couple – Alpha Zachary and Luna Rachel from the Blood Moon Pack, I step beside my father in time to shake Alpha Zachary’s and Luna Rachel’s hands. My mother and father give me a stern look, acknowledging my close to late arrival. I smile and continue with some small talk with Luna Rachel as Alpha Jackson continues speaking with Alpha Zachary and his Beta Sam. Luna Rachel is a beautiful woman. With her blond hair, brown eyes, and petite frame she is clearly the light in Alpha Zackary’s eyes.

“No, I’m living with my aunt.” “Who’s your aunt?” “Oh, you don’t want to know,” Rachel mumbled trying to shake the topic off but I was being persistent. “But why?” “Because my aunt is our school’s headmistress.” Rachel spat. “What in the?!!!” I almost shit my pants about hearing Rachel’s sudden confession. This is what she was trying to avoid when we were at the clinic after Ambrose beat the shit out of me. “Miss Briar is your aunt?” “Yeah, but don’t you go telling other people about that. You are just the fourth person to know that.”

I wanted to tell her that even if this woman was beautiful, her beauty was nothing compared to hers. "I apologize for being late, I just came from a charity event," she said as she sat down beside Atticus. She must be the Luna. "I'm Nicole Hutton," she introduced herself, "First Lady of Hutton Empire." "It's a pleasure to meet you." Rayne smiled at her. "Forgive my question, but you're not a vampire, am I right?" Nicole asked Rayne. "No, I'm not. I'm a gifted human," Rayne answered her.

I came here because-" I began. "I know why you came here. I've almost been expecting you. My sister is thirteen and fast becoming a woman. Her power is getting out of control, isn't it?" Max replied basically stealing the words from my mouth as he dragged himself to one of the many chairs in a stiff fashion.
