The One

The Randale Trio meet The Ethelwulf

As promised The Randale and The Salvatore family went to The Ethelwulf mansion by 6 pm for a BBQ  family dinner. 

William who is all set and ready to go started to get impatient with the ladies in the house; "Ladies let's go," while he take a look at his watch as he waited at the top of the staircase for the ladies.

Both Anna and Sharon quickly exit their room and head over to William yet the youngest in the family is nowhere to be found thus William heads over to her bedroom and counters a dark room.

"Karol dear, are you okay? You don't want to go" asked William as he peeks into her room.

Karol who was in an overcooked prawn position take a peek at her father; "Nope daddy, I'm having a bad headache," as she hugs her body trying to ease the discomfort.

At that moment, William burst inside the room together with Anna and Sharon after on the bedroom light. Anna asked in a worried tone; "Oh baby girl, are you okay? What's wrong?".

"I'm okay just having a bad headache which makes my stomach slightly ache"

"Do you need mummy to stay behind? Do you need any medicine? Porridge?"

"No mummy, I'm all good"

"Then rest well okay and did you eat medicine to ease your pain?"

"Yes, I did eat the medicine after I eat the porridge that Sharon bought for me just now," 

Said Karol as she pointed at the empty bowl that was on top of the table.

Sharon grab Karol's phone from the make-up table and placed it right next to her; "Okay sissy, get lots of rest, if you need anything, anything at all, just call us and we will run back here in a flash" 

She smiled at her family, reassuring them that she was okay; "No worries, just take your time since I'll be sleeping throughout the night without any noise from you guys so don't come back early," she crack jokes before cocooning herself back to sleep.

The trio then closes the lights and exits the room without making much noise as they walk towards the Ethelwulf mansion where they catch up with The Salvatore at the front door of the mansion.

The Randale and The Salvatore walk inside the house and meet with The Ethelwulf family as they introduce themselves to each other.

"It's nice to finally meet you The Randale family, my name is Accalia," 

Accalia greets them as she shakes hands with William, Anna and Sharon.

"Likewise," said the trio.

"Hello and welcome to The Ethelwulf mansion, my name is Beo, Accalia's husband," 

Beo comes, shakes hands with the trio and stands next to his wife whereas Jason who was there standing next to Sharon, holds hands and quickly asked; "Uncle, aunty. Where's Christian?". 

"I'm here you dufus," 

Christian announces as he walks towards them smiling and searching for his mate when he got word from his best friend that his mate's family has arrived.

Jason as obviously as always pulls Christian by his shoulder which makes him face everyone as Jason introduces him; "My man, let me introduce everyone, this is my stupid best friend/ brother from another family,".

Christian smile politely at them, shakes hands before looking around and then looks at Jason giving him the 'Where's my mate' face thus making Jason shrug his shoulder.

Beo who was looking at Christian's expression quickly asked everyone; "Are we waiting for someone?" as he looks at the others.

"No, I don't think so. Oh, my daughter sent her regards to you two. She couldn't make it this evening because she's having a bad headache" explain William as he answers Christian's unanswered and unasked question while smiling at Beo.

Upon hearing that his mate is sick, Christian look like a kicked puppy and quickly mind-linked with his parents; 'Dad, mum. She's sick'.

'Who son?' asked Beo through their mind linked while still talking to the others normally.

'My mate dad, she's not here with her family The Randale' said Christian making both of his parents look in his shock at the news.

"What!" 

Accalia accidentally out loud which earns her a puzzled look from everyone. 

She straight up smiles nervously as she adds; "Sorry, I forget to put my chocolate chip inside my chocolate chip cupcake. If you excuse me for a minute and you come with me" She turns around and pinches Christian's arm, then pulls him with her into the kitchen.

As soon as they were inside the kitchen, Accalia asked, "You didn't tell us anything, why?" slightly angry with her hands resting on her hips.

"Sorry, mum I forget to tell you since I was busy leaving my scent near her then I need to handle the pack and my company's welfare. It slips thru my mind".

At that moment, Beo enters the kitchen; "Honey, don't be harsh on him. He's just smitten and possessive towards his mate that's all. Let's talk about this when the guest isn't here okay" quickly gives his wife a shoulder massage as she looks at her son in displeasing expression.

"We will talk about this later, now go and get acquainted with your mate's family"

The Ethelwulf family then make their way to the backyard where the BBQ party was held the family was having good food and good company as they begin to get to know each other. The BBQ dinner went well with the booze, food and party going on in full swing but Karol and Christian have a different idea on that night.

After Karol's family is out of the house she gets up from her bed and quickly changes from her sleeping attire to an all-black attire ready to action. She locks her door with a semi-automatic lock and a tracker from her parent's watch to hers just so they don't catch her sneaking out and lying to them.

She quickly fastens her steps and runs through the open field towards the jungle in the backyard of her rented house.

She wanders around the jungle for a few minutes and a few meters away from the open field as her dreams seem to come alive. She felt nostalgic as if she knows the path and the surrounding of the jungle thus making her heart-string tug.

She turns around and looked in front of her in the same scene where she was running after the werewolf then the wolf morphs into a human with a killer ass. She softly gasps and quickly closes her mouth with her palms as she realizes her dream is not a dream at all.

Then she walks back near to the entrance of the jungle and then climbs up the tree using her gear to help her and also the quickest way to climb up. Few minutes of resting and out looking at her surroundings and the mansion where the party was still ongoing Karol hears a rustling sound coming from below her.

Below she stood a couple of cooper brown colour werewolf, slowly and surely sniffing the air while circling the area she was at with a small growl. Keeping herself small and quiet as she looks at them then suddenly one of the cooper brown colour wolves turn around and head inside the jungle in a sprint.

The other cooper brown wolf walks a few trees away from Karol's trees while still sniffing the air couple of times before he morphs into human form and used his t-shirt and shorts then he runs towards the mansion.

She was speechless not shocked but speechless and for sure now her doubts and question have been answered by the Gods.

A few hours after that she climbs down from her hiding spot and dashed to the rental house-entering their house via their kitchen door then leisurely walk up to her bedroom.

She quickly takes her gear and attire off then hop into the bathroom and takes a quick shower before she went back to her dreamland.

Meanwhile before her great discovery, Christian was busy devouring his food quickly before he went out, more like escaping just to see his mate since everyone is busy so no one will notice him sneak into his mate's room.

But luck was not on his side as Karol closed and locked both her window and her curtains tightly before she went out and still didn't open it throughout the night as she lazy to do so.

This made his great plan fail and he drags his sad self back to the mansion, his mind linked his reasons for being sad that night thus earning him a fit of laughter from his parent.
