Chapter 21: The End

Suddenly during the anniversary party, there is a commotion inside the hall. The guards find a small human girl's corpse.

Hagon stops the party and asks that all the ladies and kids head to the safe house. Carol and Rachel refuse since Rachel is a witch and Carol can heal wounded soldiers. Besides, as Queen, she's been trained for situations like this.

So all the other ladies are taken by guards to the safe house, along with the children. Rachel kisses her twin girls and gives them to Mia. Carol hugs her baby tightly, knowing that she might not be able to see him again. She kisses him everywhere and hesitantly gives the child to Sofia. "If I didn't come back, please take care of him," she says to her mother-in-law. Sofia takes the child to a safe place.

Meanwhile, Rachel uses her magic to search for black magic. Her suspicions are that this is Lexie's doing, so if there's any black magic, she can undo it. Her hunch is correct—she finds some invisible magic and nullifies it. As soon as the black magic disappears, Lexie, Camila, and a few other black witches and rogue werewolves become visible to everybody who is left at the party. The soldiers immediately start fighting the rogues, and Rachel starts chanting to stop whatever spell Lexie is starting to cast.

Carol sees Camila coming towards her, her ex-sister-in-law's eyes red like she is possessed by something. Carol uses her elemental power to block her, but Camila is stronger. Rachel, seeing this, calls out to Carol that Camila is possessed by a greedy ghost through Lexie's magic, which intensifies her greed ten-fold.

With this knowledge, Carol uses all her elemental powers to block Camila's path so that she can gain some time for Rachel.

In the background, the rogues are losing while the warriors are gaining, but the dark magic on the black witches' side is still very powerful.

Suddenly, everything changes. Rachel ends up in the hands of Lexie, and Camila destroys all the obstacles in her way and captures Carol.

"So, you are the white wolf," Lexie states.

"Yes. What do you want? Why are you doing all this?" Carol asks.

"Hagon's family has been ruling the supernatural world for a long time. All werewolves and witches are under his control. I want to change that. I want witches to take control. I tried to seduce him, but he was always thinking about you. So I tried to seduce Oliver. Even though he fell for my trick a little, he always avoided me like the plague. Then, you came and became Queen. That position is mine. I should have been the Queen. If I can't be the Queen, then nobody is going to be the Queen," Lexie yells at everybody, shaking Rachel. "Now, I am going to kill you both and manipulate Hagon and become Queen. If this witch is not here, then I can use my magic to do anything," she sneers.

"Please, you only want me. Why do you want to kill Rachel? Please take me. I'll come with you…leave everybody else alone. Do you think you can manipulate Hagon and Oliver? Before you do that, they would kill you. So take me and leave them all, ok?" Carol begs.

Hagon, hearing all this, comes running towards the four women. "What are you saying, Carol? Why are you going with her? No, no, no! I won't allow it!" he exclaims, shaking his head.

"But I can't allow her to hurt Rachel. It's our duty to protect our people. Rachel is also my best friend. Lexie needs revenge. If she kills me, then maybe her anger will calm down, and then she won't bother the kingdom," Carol says to Hagon. They start arguing about who is going to sacrifice him- or herself and vice versa. At last, Carol stubbornly comes to a decision that the supernatural people need a King to rule them. Their son needs a father to guide him. He can get love from all the other family members, so it is right for Carol to go.

Lexie looks bored by their conversation. "Ok, so now, you've come to a decision. I am taking Carol with me. Since she is a white wolf, I can do some research before killing her."

Before Hagon can stop them, Lexie, Camila, and Lexie vanish, leaving an unconscious Rachel on the ground. Oliver picks her up and runs to the infirmary while Hagon falls to the ground, still shocked. He can't believe what just happened. His mate was taken away, and he didn't do anything to save her. Ezra and Arlo pat his back with pity. Their King has lost the most precious thing in his life…again.

They take Hagon to his room, and after leaving him, Ezra takes charge since Hagon is still in a daze and Oliver is at the hospital with his mate. He calls all the trackers to organize a search party, and they immediately set out.

After one week of searching for Carol, they still can't find a trace of her. Ashton has been crying for his mother, and Hagon hugs him all the time to try and console him. He is still shocked himself, but Ashton needs him. Carol will be disappointed if he doesn't look after Ashton until she comes back. He knows that she will be back because when they were arguing in front of Lexie, she told him in between the lines that she would come back to the kingdom. She also winked at him, telling him that she would be ok.

But still, Hagon doesn't know how she's going to pull this off. He can feel that she is hurting because of their bond. She's not dead, but he can't find her.

…

Carol is sitting in a cell in a dungeon. She needs to make a plan to escape from this place. It can't be just a plan—it also must be a plot to capture or kill both the she-devils who captured her. She doesn't want any more drama to happen to her family. She wants Ashton out of danger. She's definitely not trying to put herself in danger by waiting for so long, but she needs time so that Lexie and Camila will think that she is withdrawing herself and let their guards down. Once that happens, she will attack. She still has more power than even Hagon knows about. She can freeze people for ten minutes maximum, but for that power, she has to be very careful because she can only use that power once a month. She used it one month back while practicing, so tonight, she can use it again. After she freezes them, she will use her teleporting power to take both the frozen witches to the palace and then have them tied with white magic or executed. However, she only has one chance. If she fails, then she is dead.

She wants to live with Hagon and Ashton for a long time. She loves them both very much. She wants everyone to be safe and sound, including her people, friends, and family. She will never abandon anyone.

Tonight, both Lexie and Camila are dead drunk, so Carol uses her teleporting abilities to get out of her cell. She approaches them to check if they noticed, and they stir and try to wake up. They both half-open their eyes, but Carol uses her power to freeze them. Then, she uses some nearby ropes to tie them up. She opens a portal to the palace and floats her captors through the portal. Then, she steps through behind them. They all land inside Hagon's office, where he is discussin a plan to save Carol with his trackers and guards. He is also rocking Ashton, who is crying because he is unable to receive comfort from his mother.

Hagon looks shocked, but he runs towards Carol and hugs her, ignoring everybody else in the room. Before he ce can ask her any questions, Carol requests that Rachel, who is also in the room, make Lexie and Camila powerless before they wake up. Her friend does what she is told, and everybody sighs in relief.

Now, Carol hugs both Hagon and Ashton. Her baby stops crying once he is back in his mother's arms, and Hagon lets out a happy sigh. Carol explains to everybody how she got out of her cell. She doesn't look injured because she can heal herself faster than the average person with her white wolf powers.

…

It's been a month since Carol captured Lexie. She and Camila were sentenced to death, along with their families. All the property Camila's family took from Carol is also returned to her.

The traitors all beg for forgiveness, but Hagon knows better than to give in. He doesn't want anymore drama. He wans to spend his remaining life with his family and friends, so he executes everyone he thinks is a threat. All those who are related to Lexie and Camila thus die, and he has their bodies burned under his supervision.

Now, everything is over. He is going to take a break and spend more time with his family. Today, he asks Sofia to look after Ashton so that he can take Carol on a date. The couple couldn't be happier, but Hagon can sense that something is bothering Carol.

"You want something, don't you?" he asks, stroking her cheek.

"Would you like to have more kids?" she asks him shyly. "How many do you want?"

Hagon's happy expression turns into a serious one, which confuses her. "You see, I don't want to scare you, but for the King, only the first-born child is a single child. After that, every pregnancy is twins or triplets—sometimes, the number of children can even go up to five. But I don't want you to suffer because of that, so let's just stop with Ashton," he says.

This news shocks Carol very much. "You bastard! How could you say that to me now? I don't know how many are in my belly," she says, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. She is freaking out.

Hagon is clearly confused. He looks at her, not understanding why she is crying. Then, he realizes what is happening. "You are pregnant already? Oh, I am sorry. I thought you were on birth control pills!" he says, not knowing what to do. "Let's go and check with the doctor tomorrow. If you don't want them, we can always abort them. You know that I don't want you to suffer." There is sadness in his voice as he tries to comfort her.

"I am not going to abort the baby—no, no, no. Babies. I was just a little bit frightened. That's all," Carol says to him firmly, her voice a little bit low at that last sentence.

The next day, Carol and Hagon go to the doctor, who confirms that she is having triplets. The couple is more than happy to have them.

"I am so happy, my love," Hagon says, wiping away his happy tears.

"I am too, my King," she says, giggling at the big cry baby that is her mate.

They are happy to have a growing family, which she thought she would never have, and he thought he had lost. But fate brought them together again and gave them a happily ever after.
