CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE:

Breaking Point

THE REST OF THE WEEK WAS tense. Abby cried every day on the way home from school. Pretending to be broken up with Isach was taking its toll on her, especially when he walked around ignoring all of us.

Two days after the Felicity incident, Isach even stopped texting Abby, and there hadn’t been anymore late night visits to her room. Abby had no idea if they were still pretending or not, and she was fast approaching her breaking point.

Of course, I couldn’t stop myself from drowning in guilt.

Like it or not, Isach was right. If I just changed now, we could put an end to the Zoya and the hold they had over Isach. He could leave, join Ivy’s coven, and be with Abby. But, selfishly, I was holding on tightly to our original plan, to the scenario where I’d get everything I ever wanted.

“You haven’t been able to get inside his head at all?” I asked Whitney as we walked toward the cafeteria on Friday.

“No. He has me completely blocked,” she said.

I groaned. What was going on? Not knowing was worse than anything. Was Rector still having Isach followed? I hadn’t seen anyone else lurking, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t someone watching him. Or all of us.

“It would be nice if he gave us some idea about what was going on,” I grumbled.

“Maybe it’s time we make him talk.” Whitney shrugged.

Yeah, because the last time we forced a Zoya to talk had worked so well. Jax wouldn’t hesitate to kill Isach, and I was beginning to wonder if Trent would be just as eager.

I walked into the cafeteria and headed straight for our table. Ellie, Nick, and Abby were already seated. I sat next to Abby, and as soon as I did, she nudged me with her elbow. I glanced at her.

She lowered her eyes, and I followed her gaze. She held a crumpled sheet of paper under the table. There was messy black writing scrawled across the paper.

I have info. Tonight. Everyone. Midnight.

My eyes widened, and I met her gaze. She nodded, and that was all the confirmation I needed—Isach was finally ready to talk to us.

Abby wadded the paper onto a ball and dropped it onto her tray; then she picked at her food as if nothing had happened. I wanted to ask her how she’d gotten that note, but now wasn’t the time.

“So, Whitney, I was wondering if you could help me with something.” I cleared my throat, propped my elbows on the table, and discreetly tapped the side of my head. Hopefully, she’d take the hint that I needed her to invade my mind for a minute.

“Sure, what?”

Isach has info and needs to meet all of us tonight at midnight.

“Can Abby and I come over tonight?” I asked aloud.

“Yeah, of course.” She nodded, head cocked with confusion.

I widened my eyes and rubbed my temples. “My head is killing me,” I said, staring directly at her. I repeated the thought about Isach, until finally, Whitney straightened.
