maybe she'd be willing to do that if it was the only way to get Stephan to rejoin the seethe? Maybe she'd hate Mercy less if Stephan fell under Christy's spell and Mercy helped get Stephan back? For something like that to happen though, Marsilla would have to change her eating habits, and get her whole seethe to follow Stephan's example or something. I don't know, it could be funny, seeing the expressions on certain wolves faces if they walked in to find Mercy and Marsilla chatting at the garage or something. What if Marsilla was one who slowly became a friend? Pretty unlikely, I guess, but. Will the fae just openly start attacking people? Or pulling something like a Trojan horse? I remember Mercy asked Zee if they were going to try and rule the world, I just need to go back and since what his response was, whatever it was I don't think it calmed Mercy's worry. Since I haven't officially read the Alpha and Omega series (because don't the stories collide?), I might be at a disadvantage.

She also mentioned the next Mercy book will be the fae reminding people why they are feared.

So since it has been easy for a few books now to know who Mercy's enemies would be and who could maybe be her friends, I'm taking this to mean either one or a few of those Mercy haters will either move toward the other side of the spectrum, slowly becoming Mercy's friend, then turning out to be a good friend, and some of the ones listed that we know don't like Mercy will openly be her enemy (being proactive about it, though Mary Jo already did that).

On the hate Mercy side we've had Marisilia, Leah, Mary Jo, and Christy, also I'm moving Auriele on that side (because I personally think if Christy can influence her relationship with her mate to where it was straining and giving them issues, I have no doubt she can get her BFF Auriele to hate Mercy enough to do a lot of damage), and on the side who likes Mercy out of the ones Patty listed we have Mercy's mom and Honey. Now some of these aren't surprising especially after the last book. In an interview I read with Patricia Briggs over Night Broken, Patty lists a few of Mercy's strongest female relationships Her mom, Marisilia, Leah, Honey, Mary Jo, Auriele, and she says that some of them will become good friends and others will be enemies.
