Author's Note: This takes place at the Teen Wolf Season 2 finale. Thank you everyone for taking the journey with Erica. I hope that you enjoyed it. :)

Erica snarls at Chris Argent when the man releases chains holding her and Boyd. She feels Boyd holding her back, whispering that Chris released them and he's on their side but Erica pays no heed to his words. There is only one thought that runs through her mind, he hurt Stiles, Alpha's mate.

Chris backs away and lets Boyd calm her down. "I'm going to get Gerard. Come with me if you want," he states before climbing up the stairs.

Erica rages and for the first time since her decision to leave, her wolf is torn. She looks up at Boyd. "What do we do?"

"Leave. We left Derek's pack. Alpha won't take us back now. There are other packs," he answers.

Erica nods. She stands in the middle of the room and takes in Stiles' scent, in hopes that it would calm her. Her wolf howls in response, the pain of being unable to protect the mate has angered it and Erica knows that unless she gains control, she'll come back to Derek. Derek, her first Alpha who gave her no reason to stay.

Erica kneels and runs her hand across the small drop of blood on the floor. She looks up at Boyd and notices the anger in his eyes. "Derek couldn't protect Stiles," she states in anger.

Boyd nods.

"We need to find a new Alpha, a new home," she voices her thoughts. Seeing Boyd nod again, she smiles. "Let's run, there's a pack out there. I know there is."

She hurries upstairs with Boyd following her and heads outside. Giving him a quick glance, she starts to run into the forest. This time it's the need to protect Stiles that fuels her to run and find this new pack.
