She tricked us!

SHILHI’S POV

I threw the last mandrake into the cauldron pot as I prepared another set of potions for Alpha Zadok.

Joy filled my heart at the thought of his face when he finally realised what a fool he was - A joy I planned to share with the exterminated clan of witches after I sacrificed them at the heart of the dark forest.

Poor Ithra. I wondered how she would feel knowing she was but a means to an end.

The pot’s content boiled under the threshing fire, and I put in the secret ingredient of the Alpha’s potion - A sealing spell.

My mouth moved, and murmurs of chants filled the air. The pot grew green, and a wicked smile touched my lips.

Everything was perfect. It was only a matter of time before I took my revenge and made the werewolf race pay for the evils wrought against the witches.

After 12 years, everything was finally coming into place.
