After waiting for Rex’s response for a while, I finally got a response and I and Donald went over it as usual. I read it first, absorbing the news it contained.
“So, what did Rex say?” Donald asked expectantly.
“He said he searched and investigated, but couldn’t find anything. However, he sent this…” I read from the message. Then, I showed Donald the paper that accompanied Rex’s message. Donald studied it intently, recognizing the drawn figure to be a symbol.
“This is a symbol. He pointed out and I nodded. “But what does it mean?”
“Yes, it is a symbol like you said. Rex mentioned that we should see if we can identify it. He also mentioned that he found another bottle like the one we showed him in Raina’s room.”
Donald’s eyebrows furrowed in thought as he processed the information.
“Interesting. So, where do you think he saw this symbol?”
I leaned back in my chair, deep in thought.
“I’m not sure, but it’s definitely worth looking into, We’ll need to investigate further and see if we can uncover any leads.” I said.
“Well…it looks familiar.” I studied it for a while more.
“You mean you know what it is?” Donald asked.
“Not really. I’m trying to jog my memory for where I’ve seen it.”

“That’s good, but I suggest we don’t stress it too much. In cases like this, we consult the oracle.”
“By the oracle, you mean…”
“Exactly! I meant the library and perhaps, the archives.” Donald interrupted with a playful wink, indicating our

“You don’t need to stress yourselves!” Sidonnie entered with flair, like someone showcasing for a fashion
parade. So much drama!
Donald and I exchanged surprised glances, communicating silently through the mind link about Sidonnie’s unexpected appearance.
“Did you tell her about the symbol?” I asked
“No, did you?” He asked in return.
Sidonnie noticed our exchange and questioned our reactions.
“What’s with the looks, guys?”
We quickly composed ourselves, masking our surprise.
“Oh, nothing. We were just surprised to see you here. We weren’t expecting anyone.” I answered.
Sidonnie grinned mischievously as she dropped two books in front of of us.

“What are these for?” I picked them up, staring at her face as she performed her drama, making me wonder what has gone over her.
“Well, surprise! Your answer is in these books.”
Once again, we exchanged curious glances before eagerly picking up the books, ready to dive into their search for the so–called answers.
“What answers do you think we are searching for?” Donald asked her, still happening.
“Answers to the symbol Rex sent, right?
“Yes, how did you know about that?” I queried.

“So, what did you find?” Donald asked eagerly before I could question her action.
“That symbol is for Delilah.” Donnie began
“Delilah…the legendary witch?” Donald and I expressed our surprise.
“Yes! Delilah, the legendary werewolf witch!” Donnie affirmed.
“I never expected her to exist.” Donald commented and I did the same.
‘Same here. It’s always been a rumor for decades.”
“That’s because she withdrew from worldly affairs after losing her beloved one.”
Sidonnie proceeded to narrate a story about Delilah..

“Legend has it that Delilah was once a powerful werewolf witch who roamed the forests, wielding magic beyond imagination. But tragedy struck when she lost her beloved mate in a battle against
dark forces and she killed a whole clan of werewolves for revenge. From that day on, she retreated into solitude, leaving behind tales of her incredible powers.”
I listened in awe to Sidonnie’s storytelling, captivated by the mythical figure of Delilah.
“Woah…Where did you get all that?”
“From the pack archives.” She pointed to the book in front of me.
“You’re awesome, Sidonnie.” Donald was impressed by her.
Sidonnie turned to me with a playful grin, expecting a comment from me too but I wasn’t planning on giving her
any
“So, Alpha Carlyle, what would you call me? A genius?”
“Not until you tell me how you’ve been sneaking up on me without my knowledge.” I chuckled mockingly, heading out.
I could hear Sidonnie scoff behind me as she ran after me with Donald walking behind her at a distance.

“Where are you headed?” She questioned.
“You can have your way to know that too.” I replied without waiting or looking back.

As agreed by both parties, after I sent a reply to Rex about our findings about the symbol he sent, I and Donald set out on a journey to Rex’s pack with the aim of asking him to allow us search for Delilah’s coven.
Arriving at the border, we waited patiently for him.
“Do you think Rex will be open to our suggestion?” Donald asked. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

guess so. We need his cooperation to get to the bottom of this.”
“It’s good, though.”
“What’s good?” I glanced at Donald.
“For the first time, we’re cooperating with our rival pack freely without anything at stake, without anything to gain. You know what I mean……” He explained and I smiled. He was right after all.
Rex finally arrived and we engaged in intense discussion about our next steps.
Soon, we began the journey to Delilah’s coven as written down in the books. As we ventured deeper into the wilderness, we faced several challenges and obstacles, losing our way in the dense forest. But we weren’t shaken at all. We were all strong and capable.
Just when it seemed all hope is lost, Rex stumbled upon a mysterious object–a pendant belonging to Raina. He quickly notified us, and we took it as a sign, leading us in the direction of Delilah’s coven.
After a lot of turns and searches, we found a place which we guessed should be the place.
We were greeted by an eerie silence that hung heavy in the air. A voice echoed through the clearing, welcoming us with an air of authority.
“Welcome, honorable guests.”

The three of us exchanged wary glances, our senses on high alert as we addressed the unseen presence.
“Are we speaking to Delilah, the werewolf witch?” I took the first initiative to reach out to whoever owns the
voice..
“Indeed, you have not lost your way. I am Delilah.”
“Why have you hidden from us until now? Why won’t you show up?” Rex stepped forward, his voice tinged with suspicion as he questioned Delilah’s motives.
Delilah materialized on a nearby rock, her form bathed in sunlight as she addressed them with a serene calmness.
“We’re sorry for intruding your peace but we would like to know…” Rex began but she cut him short.
“I have been expecting you. I know why you have come.” She said, sitting upright.
Rex, Donald and I exchanged wary glances, bracing ourselves for the confrontation that lay ahead.
“If I’m right, you’re here because of your sister, Raina, right?” She directed her gaze to Rex.
Rex’s jaw tightened as he met Delilah’s gaze, his resolve unwavering despite the unease that coursed through him.
“You are correct. I seek answers regarding my sister’s death, if you would be willing to provide them.” Rex answered.
The air crackled with tension as Delilah considered Rex’s request, her expression inscrutable as she studied the three of us.
