Chapter 388: Double Crossed, Part 2

"I'm not sure, but I think she's trying to help him get his soul back."

I momentarily closed my eyes and swallowed hard against the rising nausea. Ivy was double crossing us. She was going behind our back and working with Rector Zoya of all people. Why would she do that? What did she have to gain by helping him? I was still the only one who could break the curse and restore the magical balance. Unless…

Was she bargaining with him - his soul in exchange for him ending the curse? Was Rector her back-up plan in case I changed my mind?

"Okay, enough," Whitney said to Isach. "Obviously, this is very bad news, but your timing is atrocious. Chloe is getting married tomorrow, and nothing is going to ruin that, so not another word about this until after the wedding. Got it?"

Isach blinked, clearly stunned by what Whitney had said. I was, too, but I was also grateful. The last thing I wanted to deal with was Ivy and Rector when I should be focusing on marrying Trent.
