Karol drives away from the party aimlessly but stopped at one of the diner's parking lot as she pulls her phone out from her bag not wanting to get lost now that she is driving. As she was searching for the address to go home, her stomach suddenly growled.
'Urgh! I'm so hungry. Know what, I'll go and grab some dinner real quick because I'm starving stupid party giving food like rabbit food to their guess. Wait, if I were to head back to Filtiarn from here it'll take more than 5 hours, I'll be dead tired by then'
Karol quickly shakes her head as she dismisses the idea and searches for any nearby restaurant.
'Wait. If I were to walk into any restaurant at this time. Do they even open though? It's late at night, no it's almost midnight now. Urgh, annoying as fuck. Okay, how about I stay here for the night then think about the rest tomorrow? I bet the party is finished already'
'Fine, the only ideal idea for this situation is to check-in in a hotel with 24 hours kitchen'
Finally, Karol agreed with her jumbled idea as she make a quick search on the internet then head over to the hotel.
Meanwhile, after Karol and Sharon parted, she walks back to their family and shakes her head in a disapproved manner. As she reached back to them, urgently Christian walk over to them and asked; "Have anyone seen Karol?".
Anna replies; "She was asking the same thing just now," in confusion while William adds; "Yes, she was searching for you," straight away after Anna.
Jason too; "I told her that you went to the bathroom so probably she went to the bathroom searching for you," as he sips her champagne while Sharon looked at him blankly not wanting to ask him right then.
Beo who was confused asked; "Son, why did you leave her when you promise to accompany her throughout the party?"
While Christian couldn't come out with his answer as he tries to cover the situation; "I.. I was doing my business in the toilet so I can't accompany her," while looking everywhere except for his parents and Karol's family.
"Then I'll go and search for her"
Quickly Christian walk away from them not wanting to attract their attention and causing a bigger scene as his mind linked his beta and delta.
'Where are you guys?'
'Here alpha behind you'
"I want you to check this whole place for my mate. Bring some of our pack members and search until you find your Luna"
15 minutes later everyone mind linked their alpha with disappointing news saying that they can't find their Luna.
'Where did she go?' asked Christian to Arlo in which he growl back in annoyance 'Away from your cheating ass obviously!'.
'I did nothing wrong and you know that'
'Of course, I know because I'm stuck with your stupid ass but our mate didn't know anything. Okay since you're so oblivious of your wrongdoings. You answer me this, will you get angry or not if you saw someone hug Karol knowing the facts that she saw you looking at her but still didn't do anything about it?'
'Okay, I get it. I'm sorry' reply Christian to Arlo who still angry at him.
'Said that to our mate, stupid human'
Arlo was annoyed and done with his human part so he cut his mind link with him and stay back. It was 11.30 pm, 30 minutes before the party ended The Ethelwulf and The Randale decided to head back home.
"Let's part ways here,"
Anna couldn't help but to ask; "Where's Karol?" as she looks around which Sharon replied with a straight face;
"In the toilet fixing her makeup, I guess,"
"Okay then, get her back safe and sound okay,"
Anna looked at Christian who's nodding frantically before they parted ways with the youngsters as Accalia quickly add; "Then, bye. Meet you guys at home" then waves at them and walks away with Anna as they both talked to each other.
Christian, Jason and Sharon waved their hands back then in a defeated voice, Christian murmured; "Can I follow you two?" as he turn slightly to his right side to look at his best friend Jason in a defeated expression.
Ulfred was there quickly interject; "You can follow us Alpha,", makes Christian turn sightly to his left side and smile. He looked at his beta and then at his delta who's talking sweetly at two ladies by the side of the stairs.
"No need Ulfred, you two can have fun plus it seems like you two are about to score some tonight," said Christian smirking at Ulfred. Jason then place his hands on Christian's shoulder; "Let's go buddy" as his car got pulled in front of them.
The trio hops inside Jason's car and drove away from the party. A couple of silent minutes Christian couldn't help but ask Sharon; "Where is she?"
"Don't know,"
Sharon rolls her eyes slightly annoyed with him yet she quickly texts her little sister. She messages her sister just to inform her that she will call her and ask about her whereabouts while talking to her on a loudspeaker.
"What did you do?"
"Something stupid and I need to apologize to her as soon as possible and clear things out with her,"
"Hmm, then tell me what is it?" asked Sharon as she turns slightly to look at Christian who still had tight lips.
"Sorry, not gonna tell you. I just need to talk to my mate" reply Christian as he tries again for the nth time calling his mate.
"Then I'm not going to help you,"
"It's just a misunderstanding at her part and mine,"
"About what?"
"I seriously can't tell you, can you please call her?"
"Why would I call her and help you when you did something wrong,"
"I did nothing wrong it's just a misunderstand,"
"If you didn't do any wrong then why did she walk away from the party and take your car and drive off without telling anyone?"
"That's because of the promise that I made with her. I told her that if I ever leave her alone at the party she can drive away any time that she wants so she did because I left her for a few moments"
"No wonder, if you didn't promise any of that she wouldn't dare to even touch your car but you give your words to her so of course she'll hold onto it and do as she said,"
"What a diligent child and very stubborn too" murmur Sharon to herself but was caught by both Jason and Christian as both smirking before Jason chip in;
"Dude, can't you track your car or something?"
"I can but should I?"
"Yes, you should cause she's your mate and you are worried about her"
Replied Jason smiling at his 'brilliant' idea which earns him a glare from his Donna, as he dismiss his smile and focus back on his driving.
"Tsk, tsk. You thought that that's a brilliant idea huh. Christian if you do that, I can tell you this that she will avoid you at all cost"
"Then what should I do? I tried to call her many times she still didn't pick her phone up"
"You still don't see it didn't you?"
"See what?"
"She didn't want to talk to you that's why she's didn't answer your phone call"
Replied Sharon in a duh tone as she shakes her head in disbelief at the two of them while another text chime in.
