Rashel Jordan

&nbsp Rashel Jordan was five years old when she saw her mother being killed by a vampire whose eyes shone like gold. Rashel managed to escape from the handsome vampire but since then, she decided to learn how to fight, to protect herself and to seek revenge for her mother’s death. Now, this tough seventeen-year-old, black-haired, green-eyed beauty has become a much feared vampire hunter, known to Night People only by her alias, The Cat.

One night, whilst on a stakeout, Rashel meets John Quinn. She has knocked him unconscious. When he comes to, he sees Rashel is about to stake him. Rashel is surprised when Quinn opens his eyes. He tells her to get on with it. Annoyed that a vampire is giving her orders, Rashel instead, allows herself to converse with him. Oddly, she finds him charming. She talks to him, wanting to know more about the infamous vampire. She learns that he was made a vampire by Hunter Redfern because he fell in love with his daughter.

Sympathy washes over Rashel. She cannot bring herself to kill him, even when he breaks loose and threatens to kill her. But the instant their skins touch, their minds explode with images of one another. They know each other – they are soulmates. Their connection is cut short though when other vampire hunters confront them. Rashel helps Quinn to escape. She immediately regrets this decision. And, when Rashel discovers Quinn might be reviving the slave trade, she is determined to kill him without mercy next time.

Rashel manages to get herself caught up in his plan. She finds out she and the other human girls captured are to be used as food for a blood feast for vampires. When Rashel breaks free of her prison, another opportunity to kill Quinn arises. Yet, looking into his eyes, she is still unable to go through with the kill. Do it, Quinn tells her, because she should have done it the first time.

Rashel knocks him unconscious again and decides to kill the guests of the blood feast instead. Shortly after, Quinn grabs her and takes her into a room. They are soulmates, he tells her. It is no use fighting what was meant to be. Quinn tries to make Rashel a vampire but when he learns her mother was killed by one, he is happy to accept Rashel as she is.

When Rashel sees Hunter at the feast though, she recognises him as the man who killed her mother. Rashel and Quinn fight their way off the enclave, happy to be with each other despite Hunter getting away.

Rashel and Quinn reappear in Soulmate. It is learnt they are working with Circle Daybreak. They are the fighting arm of the organisation.
