Chapter 10 Which one do you Love More
Derek's POV
The rain had finally stopped and the scent went cold there was no way to find her not without picking up her scent somewhere nearby. "Maybe we should stop for a minute." I whipped my head back to see Erica panting her blond curls like a curtain blocking her face I couldn't even see her. It was so dark and it was hard to believe that we had been searching for hours. "Fine that's fine her scent is gone we should take a minute and let our noses adjust." I watched her stagger and drop to the ground, her head dipping down resting her chin on her boobs. I sighed and walked over to her before plopping down next to her and using the tree as support. I turned to look at her, her hazel eyes distressed "We will find her you need to stop worrying, we are the best trackers they got." She nodded her head and sighed "Which is why we shouldn't have left without them." I rolled my eye and looked at her for a moment "They wouldn't look for her I wasn't going to waste time trying to convince them if I didn't pass out we might have found her by now." My voice got dangerous and low and I could feel Erica shivering next to me before she interlaced her fingers with mine. "You can't do that to yourself it's not right, you have been punishing yourself for Cora, I won't let you do the same with Luna. You couldn't help it, you couldn't help none of it, at least not in your condition to fight you not even in a condition to be tracking I don't know how you are standing up."
I laughed at her she was right but as I thought back to the last time that I saw Luna, she was clinging to Erica's leg peering at the alphas that were standing in the backyard. I knew that a sweet girl like that didn't deserve to be dragged into all of this, she was no threat to them she was 4 and it was for that reason I can push through the pain."Pure adarline baby, I'm sure that when it stops I will pass out again. I wonder how long this is going to last." I looked at Erica and her voice was so upset and so hard but there was this edge to it that told me she was about to say something. "Deaton said that you should be fine in a little while a day or two but that doesn't mean that you should push it." I rolled my eyes at her and watched our fingers interlocking. "That's not what I meant and you know it." She simply shrugged her shoulders and I looked up at the crescent moon. "Why did we ever break up?"That question played in my head since the day she told me she couldn't be with me anymore. I turned to look at her and Erica's eyes darkened at my question "I told you once before, we just weren't right for each other." I could hear her heartbeat racing when she spoke each word. Not to mention that it was all total lies, we didn't once fight the four years we were dating. I even asked her to marry me to make me the luckiest guy on the planet but she said no. Said we would never work even though for, 4 years we did work together we were perfect so it just didn't connect in my brain. There was still a part of me that wanted to be with her.
` "One day you will stop lying to me and on that day I will be the happiest wolf alive." She laughed at me as we started to rise getting ready to run when my phone buzzed. I took it out of my pocket it was a text form Stiles but there was nothing but numbers in the text. What was with him, what could this possibly be. "Longitude and latitude what do you think." I shows the phone to Erica and she sighed "Yeah but what does it mean did they find Luna or is it something else." I looked at her and shrugged my shoulders. "Let's find out you with me." She nodded her head and we took off through the forest. The sun was starting to rise turning the sky bright pink and orange it was a peaceful landscape turned creepy when I found the location that Spies sent to me. How did he find this place? He was supposed to be with Scott and Peter what the hell was going on with him he shouldn't be out in these woods. I felt Erica hand slip into mine causing our finger on that moment I forgot all about Style and my mind was flooded with memories of me and Erica when we were together. If gave me this foreboding feel.
"This is most likely a trap isn't it?" I looked at Erica there worry lines on her face and her hazel eyes full of fear. "Yeah, and there is a good chance that whoever sent that text has the rest of the pack as well." I looked at her and she shivered at the thought while moving closer to me. "I… I'll tell you the real reason that I broke up with you. If we die you should know." I looked at her confused as her eyes started to water. "I got pregnant and my parents weren't thrilled they hated the fact that I dare raise Luna, but when you left on your tour they said that it wouldn't be worth it to raise the baby of a Marine. The night before you got back they forced me to get an abortion. I mean they literally forced me, when I was sitting in the living room with Luna they handed me a cup of coffee and there was wolves bane in it. I puked for hours and I just knew that I wasn't pregnant anymore. I couldn't face you I was broken and full of shame and soon I couldn't take that look of love coming from you anymore when I killed our baby. So I left you I felt lower than trash."
I felt her grip tighten around my hand and it felt like the entire earth was ripped out from under my feet. Like it was crumbling away who were they to decide who she could be with. They had no right to do that I don't think that it had anything to do with me but with the fact that my father turned her. She came clean about what she was to them a long time ago but now I'm not sure that they were over it. My father did it because she was dying of seizures. "When we make it out of here with our daughter and that idiot I will kill your father for what he has done to you." I looked at her and she simply nodded her head before wiping away her unshed tears from her looked at me her gaze unwavering and in that moment I was taken over feeling that I couldn't control. I tipped my head down and kissed her gentle lips. "Alright let's go save our family." I smiled at her words and walked into the door and was blinded this darkness that surrounds the both of us.
