Love And Other Wicked Things Chapter 39 delves into Rhia’s determined search for the truth about Isabelle Morgan, a name long buried in the history of Oakriver’s magical lineage. While exploring her family’s journals, Rhia uncovers a possible fourth magical house, one that may have been erased or hidden from records. Meanwhile, Quinn begins to confront strange and unexplainable experiences that hint at untapped magical ability within himself. As secrets unravel and the lines between past and present blur, both Rhia and Quinn are pushed to face parts of their identities they never expected.
Love And Other Wicked Things Chapter 39: Search for Morgan in History
In Love And Other Wicked Things Chapter 39, desperate for clarity, Rhia returns to her family’s house and begins searching through shelves of old books and journals, hoping to find Isabelle Morgan in her family’s past. Surrounded by dust and stacks of worn pages, she mutters, “Where do I even start?” Her thoughts drift to Sage, who always dives headfirst into things without hesitation.
Inspired, Rhia pulls down a stack, and one heavy book tumbles to the ground with a thud. When she opens it, she finds a strange title: Protocol of the Annual Meeting of the Council of the Four, dated October 1998. Confused, she remembers being taught there were only three magical houses: Greenbrook, Lightbourn, and Fairlove. But this book clearly refers to a fourth, labelled “H.” She cross-references initials G for Greenbrook, L for Lightbourn, F for Fairlove… and H for? The page is torn, the rest missing.
What Quinn Can’t Deny
Rhia leaves her family home unsettled. Her mother, who saw her reading the journal, looked terrified, but said nothing. She heads toward the dorms, hoping someone else might offer insight. She knocks on the door of Quinn and Valerie’s shared room. Valerie isn’t there, but Rhia came to see them anyway. She asks if it’s okay to come in, and they step aside quietly. Inside, Rhia gently checks on them. They admit they can’t explain the strange feelings he’s had lately, something is off in Oakriver, and it’s more than just bad weather and stress. Rhia’s expression hardens when she asks them if Valerie told them about the necklace. Quinn nods but says only that it might belong to Valerie’s mother. Rhia pushes forward, needing to test a theory that’s been forming in the back of her mind.
Rhia doesn’t believe Quinn is unaffected by magic. She brings up the concealed magic shop, Obscura’s. Quinn can see it, even though the fact that it’s shielded by a decade-old concealment spell. Most ordinary people can’t see the building at all, but Quinn could. Helen, the shopkeeper, once said that only people with a high but latent magical presence, just below full manifestation, can perceive it. Quinn still resists. They say, “I’m not a witch,” and point out that his mother doesn’t have powers either. But Rhia explains that magic can skip generations, and sometimes it appears in subtle ways that aren’t recognized until much later in life.

The Voice in the Silence
The conversation deepens when Quinn finally admits something they’ve been hiding: Back at the cabin, when Valerie went missing, he heard a woman’s voice shouting at him, clear, urgent, and right beside his ear, even though no one was around. They also heard the rushing of a river, loud and unmistakable. Rhia says witches draw their magic from elements, and Quinn’s element might be water. It all makes sense now. Rhia asks, carefully, “That wasn’t the first time, was it?” This has been happening for a while. They have just been pushing it away, hoping it would stop. Rhia reassures Quinn that what they are experiencing is real, and it’s not something to be ashamed of.
Quinn struggles to process the truth. They’ve already worked so hard to understand their identity, their gender, their orientation, and now this? They ask, “Why didn’t my family tell me? Why did they let me find this out alone?” Rhia doesn’t pretend to have an easy answer, but she offers him something honest. She believes every person carries a seed of magic inside them. Sometimes it stays buried. Sometimes, like now, it bursts through the soil without warning. Maybe Quinn is only just blooming, and while that’s terrifying, it’s also powerful. And in this moment, even surrounded by mystery, one truth becomes clear: Quinn isn’t alone anymore.
