Chapter 43 - Iron Sentinel

Still feeling relieved from losing her connection to Elora, Emily turned to Seraphina with an apologetic expression. 

"You know it's not about you, right? I trust you to have my back with the council, but I have a lot to make up for with Emma, and I won't run from that responsibility. Even if I'm afraid to hurt her again."

Although that wasn't the only reason she had decided to follow Erik, she didn't want to mention the darkness that continued to corrupt her soul with Emma there. Seraphina knew about it, however.

Despite Erik ignoring her, the vampire still looked at him with annoyed hunger and fury. Still, hearing Emily's words, she tore her gaze away and looked at the pale, dark-haired woman.

She nodded and sighed, "I know. But… just as I told your sister, I hope you made the right choice. After today, the council will label all three of you as fugitives."

Hearing her words, Emma smiled happily, "Don't worry, we'll be fine!"
