Chapter 184: The Enchantress

Gabriel and Mercy walked over to a quiet spot by the edge of the forest.

“You know, don’t you?” Mercy asked, her eyes concerned as she searched his face.

“Yes,” he said.

“How did you find out?” she asked, already knowing the answer.

“It was while you were playing. I realized, you were enchanting us. Mercy, you’re an enchantress?”

Mercy looked away for a moment and he could see the pain on her face. “Not exactly,” she said. “Well, yes. But I didn’t know. I honestly didn’t know. It was Sephora. She kept my secret and then, at the warehouse, she…she told me.”

“Your secret is safe with me, Mercy,” he told her. “Don’t worry about that. I won’t say anything.” She looked at him with gratitude on her face. “Is it..is witch blood then?”

Mercy sighed. He already knew, so she might as well tell him. “Yes,” she said. “Sephora told me. I guess my mother was a witch. She fell in love with a wolf and they, they had me.”
