Wraiths
The Wraiths are targeting witch covens all over the world in order to open the Gates that the Wraith King is imprisoned in. When the wraiths kill witches like the ones from Mara's coven, they also steal their powers which are then transferred to the Wraith King, making him more and more powerful.

Strafa
If you dreamwalk with Maggie in Chapter 5 and see Kaine's memories, the Wraith King is seen being angry that your coven is still alive and for being locked away for eternity, and asks Strafa of their progress. When Strafa assures him that everything will go according to plan, the Wraith King orders him to destroy your bloodline, and specifically you, the anchor.

Kaine
Kaine was the Wraith King's right hand man/woman, until he/she decided to betray him. When asked why, Kaine says that since the Wraith King wants to eliminate all witches, life as a wraith would get very boring without them. He/She also says that he/she got sick of following someone else's orders.
