Chapter 407 - Setting off again [3/3]

Not long after that, Emma, Emily, and Astrid went back on board the ship. Surprisingly, however, they were followed by Seraphina, who did her best to avoid Erik's curious gaze.  

It's not that Erik was surprised about the vampire apparently joining them, though. No, because back in the UK, Elora had suggested to Erik that he talk to Katya about taking Seraphina with them to Africa. The idea was that she could act as a liaison between Erik and his growing allies within the Council.  

At least, that was the way he phrased it when he messaged Katya about it back in the UK.  

The real reason was, of course, a little more devious. The fact was, that Erik wanted more time with Seraphina. Partly to seduce her, but at the very least he wanted her loyalty, so that through her, he could have her father's loyalty.
