After their fun lunch and their chitchat, The Aspen and The Randale parted ways and head over to their destination but William was halted by Peter as he stop him as they were about to walk over to their house.
"William, do you have a minute?. Anna too, do you two have a minute?"
Pepper quickly add;
"Let's have our tea time for old time sake,"
Both Anna and William nod their head as he said; "Sure, let's go" while they walks back inside the mansion at the same time Karol who was there looking at them with a puzzled look.
She smirk then teasingly said; "No, no. I'm okay, I'll go ahead and go back to our house. No worries".
Pepper with a surpass smile fully aware of Karol small interject said; "Don't worry baby girl, we'll send some fresh blueberry pie to you okay?" these words makes Karol grin from one ear to the other while nodding her head with a suppressed smile.
Upon parting ways with Karol, the quadruplets head over to Peter's home office which is located on the second floor. William suddenly said; "I assume you have lot's of questions am I right?" as each of them take their seats at their respective chair.
"How do you know?"
"Well with your unchanged attitude it's easy to spot,"
Without wasting any more precious time Pepper jumps into the conversation as she said; "I wanted to tell you that Karol might be Leo's mate,".
"Okay~ why do you say so?" asked Anna as she looked at Pepper.
"Her appetite and obsession for blueberry pie is something new am I right?" asked Pepper as she looks at both William and Anna in which William replied;
"Yes, it is new" as he looks at them in a knotted eyebrow while Anna adds;
"She uses to eat tons of her favourite vanilla and not blueberry cause she hates the smell and the taste of it," while feeling weird at the whole situation too she then quickly adds another sentence;
"But.. if she's, I mean, you both suspect that she's Leo's mate then it couldn't be so because she already has a mate in which was confirmed by her mate himself"
Pepper couldn't help but to lean forward and ask; "Who is her mate?".
"I don't know if you know him or their family but his name is Christian,"
"Christian? Christian who?"
William who was keeping his silence said; "Wait, I know it sounds weird cause it does sound weird to us like this whole situation is weird and here's his picture," while scrolling through his phone searching for Christian picture.
"This is him,"
Said William as he quickly turns his phone towards them three at the same time his finger accidentally changed the picture.
"Ermm, darling. We don't want to see your prank mug shot with your subordinates" said Anna as she holds her laugh while the rest laughed at him.
"Shit! Sorry, wait. Let me change"
"Okay, this is the one,"
"Which one? There's like a group photo of you and The Ethelwulf family"
"Is this the correct picture?"
"Yes, this is the correct picture"
"Yes this is The Ethelwulf and Christian Ethelwulf is Karol's mate,"
"Seriously?!" exclaim both Peter and Pepper in disbelief.
"I know, at first we both didn't believe them but Christian and his family explain to us everything then we slowly and surely belief them about Karol and Christian is indeed mates,"
"This is so weird," said Pepper while still doubting the whole thing.
Peter, Pepper, Anna and William continue their deduction as they catch up with the others in both the werewolf world and the human world. Meanwhile, Karol heads back to her room, making herself comfortable in her old bed while checking her emails.
She then grabs her phone and calls Brian her soon to be left-hand man aka her bodyguard.
"Brian, are you busy buddy?" asked Karol as she scrolls through some documents
'Hi mam, no I'm not busy at the moment. What can I do for you?'
"I'll email you, your 1-year contract. Read it and if you have any inquiry call the number at the end of the agreement. He'll help you step-by-step because you'll take his position"
"Okay, mam"
"Great, bye Brian,"
"Bye mam"
Meanwhile, Anna, William, Pepper and Peter tea time come to an end as they needed to freshen up before having their dinner.
A few hours later the trio dresses comfortably in their shorts and T-shirt while heading over to the mansion in which is full of the pack members.
"Hi, hi," said Karol as she spotted Pepper who's busy with ordering the kitchen helpers, in a happy tone Pepper said; "Hi Karol, take a seat baby girl. Tonight we'll feast".
Karol smile while narrowing her eyes toward Pepper as she said; "Feast aye.." smile at the whole ordeal as Peter suddenly appear; "Let your aunty be Karol she's happy because you are finally back after 7 years," he enters the dining hall.
"Anna, William come. Let's have a seat"
"Let's eat guys,"
Everyone looks at The Randale while smiling at them some of them know who are they and what Karol has done but some of the youngsters didn't know while checking her out and trying to impress Karol who is indeed younger than her but bigger.
"Let's toast for The Randale family for being here tonight but the most important to Karol as this is the first in 7 years she's here visiting us," said Peter as he holds his cup up making everyone mimic his action he then add; "Let's eat and mingle around" before he takes his seat and the food is being served.
Karol smile her mischievous smile as she crack a small joke of her own as she said; "Not bad. Not bad at all. Probably I should have done this in the future too. Muahahaha" while laughing evilly at her plan but was cut by Pepper as she too jokingly said; "You wish, this is a one time deal," while laughing at her.
The dinner went well with them mingling around talking, having fun then all of a sudden Karol looked around as if searching for something which make William, Anna, Peter and Pepper perk their interest.
Confirming that her theory is right, Karol turn towards Pepper as she asked; "Where's Leo? I don't see him tonight or this morning" then continue to look around the dining hall.
Pepper smile sweetly at Karol then turn towards William, Anna and her husband briefly just to check if they saw what she saw as she said;
"Leo's out for an important meeting but no worry he'll be back home tomorrow for dinner,"
Karol nods her head in disappointment as she sighs lowly then take a bite of her food in disinterest. This attitude of hers makes Pepper turn towards the rest of them in her 'see-told-you-so' face making the rest raise their eyebrows and continue chatting away brushing it off.
