ā Life Then:
Life was hard for Erica, ever since she was six, her life has been nothing but challenges after challenges. Her first seizure was when she was at school, she had been running on the playground and something triggered it, collapsing and shaking causing a wave of chaos for the other kids. Every since then sheās been trying to live as normally as she could. Her salvation came in the form of Derek Hale and his werewolf gift, offering it to her in which she took without a second thought.
Her life took a drastic change when sheād left the pack along side Boyd, it all being the worst choice they could of made, making themselves easy targets for the Alpha pack. She was thrown into a holding place with Boyd at her side, but when they arrived they werenāt the only oneās there. A girl, their age, that had looked like sheād been there so much longer then she could imagine, and when sheād found out that she was Derekās sister, they stuck together until their alpha came and found them.
When he came, they were outnumbered, and being the shewolf she was, she took on one of the alphaās alone, Kali, helping her alpha as much as she could, but the alpha was too strong and had hurt Erica to a point that she couldnāt walk, that her healing was too slow and she was losing too much blood. When Derek got her out of the vault, it took three wolves and her own healing to bring her back, adding another week or so to fully heal to where she was able to do normal things by herself. Derek kept a close eye on her ever since, seeing how much he cared, and how worried he was about her that it made her understand why he would leave. She was confused at the choice of people he left them with, Peter, being the insane uncle that she wasnāt too comfortable around, and Scott, the boy who had saved her once, but she couldnāt see protecting them, no matter how long heād been a wolf.
She didnāt question her alpha, seeing him leave and not come back for several months until rogue wolves wandered into town; rabid wolves with a nasty taste for other wolves. As soon as Boyd had gotten hurt, and they realized they couldnāt do it on their own, they called Derek, not wanting to after how well he was doing, but this was his territory, and they needed him there. When he arrived without his sister, she didnāt ask, though she was worried.
After Derek explained why Cora had stayed, they didnāt question him about it anymore. Everything became calm, allowing them to finish high school without any life threatening problems, Erica graduating with honors. Erica didnāt instantly go to college after graduation though, she was lost for a while as to what she wanted to do with her life. A comment from pack mate Boyd, after sheād made fun of all his clothes in the closet, why not go to school for fashion? Everyone in the pack being skeptical if she could actually do it, which hurt, but she didnāt care. She packed her things, and moved to New York, going to school and loving every second of it. Soon after arriving and getting settled, she found out Boyd had followed her, wanting to stay close to a pack member while going to school, and she couldnāt agree more.
ā Life Now:
