RAINA’S POV
I stood before Delh, the legendary witch known for her ancient wisdom and mystical powers. Her
gaze bore into mine, assessing me with an intensity that made me squirm slightly under her scrutiny.
But I was determined more than she could think of.
“I’m ready,” I dered, my voice steady despite the nervous fluttering in my stomach. “Whatever you
have in store for me, I’m prepared to confront it head-
on.”
Delh nodded with an inscrutable expression on her face as she heaved a sigh.
“Before we proceed, I need to hear the story between you and your rival,” she requested, her tone
grave.
Taking a deep breath, Iunched into the tale of my encounters with Sidonnie and she listened with
rapt attention. I recounted the tension between us, Sidonnie’s manners towards my Carlyle and the
unsettling revtion of her im to be his mate. Delh listened intently, her wise eyes never leaving
my face as I spoke.
As I finished recounting my story, Delh’s demeanor shifted, her brow furrowing in concern.
“And what is her name, child?” she inquired with furrowed brows.
“Sidonnie,” I replied, feeling a shiver run down my spine at the gravity of the moment. “Her name is
Sidonnie Xander,”
At the sound of her name, Delh’s expression darkened. Without a word, she began chanting in a
language foreign to my ears, her movements fluid and purposeful. I watched in awe and trepidation as
she performed her mysterious ritual while my heart pounded faster in my chest.
“What’s happening?” I asked, unable to contain my anxiety any longer as Delh’s chanting grew more
fervent.
Delh’s chanting ceased abruptly, and she turned to me with a somber expression.
“Your rival is not someone to be trifled with,” she warned, her voice filled with a

A
sense of foreboding. “She possesses powers beyond your understanding, and she cannot be easily
defeated”
I felt a chill run down my spine at her words, the weight of the revtion sinking in.
“What do you mean by she can’t be trifled with? Is she a goddess or the goddess rtive? Why can’t
she be trifled with?” I asked.
Delh’s expression remained stoic despite the barrage of insults hurled her way. She held herself with
a quiet dignity, her eyes fixed on me with a mixture of concern and resolve.
“Are you sure you know what you’re saying? Are you sure your powers aren’t wearing out with your
age? Wait…are you even Delh?” I rushed these insulting questions at her but she didn’t say a word
still.
When I finally calmed down, she spoke up.
“I understand your frustration, Raina,” Delh began. “But you must understand the gravity of the
situation. Your rival possesses powers that surpass mortal understanding. She is not merely a mere
mortal but someone with connections to forces beyond ourprehension.”
I listened intently, her words sinking in as I struggled to understand the threat Sidonnie posed to me if I
tried doing what I nned against her.
“She may not be a goddess herself, but she holds sway over powers that rival even the divine,” Delh
continued with all seriousness in her tone. “Attempting to confront her without proper preparation would
be like walking into the jaws of a lion unarmed.”
Her words sent a shiver down my spine, the magnitude of the danger bing increasingly clear with
each passing moment.
Delh’s warning seemed to appraise Sidonnie even more and this only made my anger increase
drastically and Ished out at her. But Delh remained unruffled, herposure unshaken.
“I have warned you as best I can, Raina,” Delh said firmly. “Whether or not you choose to heed my
advice is ultimately up to you. But know this: the path you tread is fraught with peril, and the
consequences of your actions may be dire.”

TRICHT, 20 IVIGI
With that, Delh turned away, leaving me to ponder her words in the shadow of impending danger.
“Are you evenpetent? Do you have what it takes to be as legendary as the book says? No, I doubt
it! You’re nothing but a witch who doesn’t know what to do in situations inke this!” I paused, staring at
her back.
“Or should I say you’re just a dumbass who gets scared because of little threats?”
“Young woman! You had better watch it!” Delh warned me with a yell, scaring me a bit. But my wants
and obsession overshadowed all other feelings I felt.
“If you want me to respect you, then do what I want.” I yelled at her.
This time, she turned to face me. Yes! Exactly what I wanted.
“Since you’re bent on seeing it through, let’s deal. What do you want from me?” She asked stenly,
sitting on her spot which I guess was where she prepared whatever magical substances or dues she
wanted to create or perform.
“Now, that’s what I’m talking about.”
“Go straight to the point, Raina.”
“She’ll be having her wedding soon, Delh. I want something that’ll destroy her wedding.” I paused,
taking a moment to think it through.
“No, better still, I want you to take her out of the way for me. If she’s gone, I’ll have Carlyle all to
myself.”
Delh’s stern demeanor softened slightly as she listened to my demands, her expression betraying a
hint of resignation.
“I want you to choose one, Raina.”
“Kill her, then. That’s the best option.”
Delh understood the depth of my desperation and the lengths I was willing to go to rid myself of
Sidonnie’s looming presence.
With a heavy sigh, Delh instructed me to wait as she began to chant incantations and mix various
ingredients together. The air crackled with energy as she worked.
After what felt like an eternity, Delh finally handed me two small bottles, each

containing a mysterious concoction.
“The first bottle,” she exined, her voice low and solemn, ‘contains a potent poison that will bring
about Sidonnie’s demise. Use it wisely, for once
administered, there is no turning back.”
I held the bottle in my hand, feeling a surge of power coursing through me at the mere thought of
wielding such destructive force.
“And the second bottle?” I prompted, eager to hear Delh’s instructions.

“The second bottle,” she continued, her gaze piercing, “contains an antidote. Should you have a
change of heart or wish to undo the harm you’ve caused, this will neutralize the effects of the poison.”
I nodded, absorbing Delh’s words with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. The weight of my
decision hung heavy in the air as I contemted the path ahead.
“Thank you, Delh,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “I will not forget your assistance.”
With that, I tucked the bottles safely away, steeling myself for the moment when I would finally confront
my nemesis and set my n into motion.
“You should know that…” She wanted to say something but I was too happy that I didn’t wait for her
words.
“Thanks, Delh. You can keep the rest of the lectures for yourself” I said, scurrying out of the forest.
