That seemed to be what roused Erica, her body shifting in their arms and causing their smiles to drop slightly.  Erica’s nails gently scraped up and along the nape of Stiles’s neck, causing him to shiver, while her other hand gripped Scott’s tighter as she lifted it towards her chest, pressing him tighter against her back.  She let out a dreamy moan, the sound shooting right through them both.  Scott found himself burying his face in her hair, breathing her in before growling softly when Stiles lowered his head to lay soft kisses on Erica’s exposed neck.  She let out a whimper, her body squirming needily as she slowly started regaining consciousness. “You smell good,” Scott whispered behind her. “Tastes pretty good too,” Stiles added, continuing to kiss up her neck.

I glanced back, noticed the three Vikings approaching us, and begged Aethelflaed to get up as I pulled her to her feet.  We kept running, but they were faster.  I faced them, keeping Aethelflaed behind me as I held my dagger out in front of me. “She’s a fighter,” one of them chuckled.  “I like them fiery.” “You will not touch her,” Aethelflaed insisted, my hand reaching back to squeeze hers before I slashed at one of the men when he got too close.  My eyes widened when I saw the gash on his arm, his shout of pain followed by a command to take us.  The man next to him charged me, grabbing my wrist to try to disarm me, but I remembered something Finan had taught me.  I dropped the dagger from that hand, catching it with the other hand before stabbing the blade into his leg.  He yelled as he fell to the ground, but when I turned to face the other man, he was throwing a punch that knocked me to the ground.  “Melkorka!” the princess screamed, the sound distorted as my head was ringing. “Why do you Saxon women always have to be so difficult?” the man that had punched me asked, rubbing at his knuckles.  I realized I had dropped my dagger, my eyes blinking to clear the spots dancing before them as I felt around the ground for it.  “It would be simpler if you did not fight us when we came for you,” he mused, glancing over at the princess.  “Leave with us, and I will let her live.”  Aethelflaed looked over at me, my eyes meeting hers as I slowly shook my head, urging her not to go with him.  My hand continued moving along the forest floor until I found my dagger, my fingers wrapping around the hilt before pulling it closer to me as I tried to get to my feet.  “Fight us, and I will kill her here and now,” the man threatened, making his way towards me.  He grabbed my hair from the back of my head, yanking my head back with a sneer.  “I imagine someone will miss this pretty face.” I breathed heavily through my nose, anger filling me before I let out a rough exhale and plunged the dagger into his chest.  His eyes widened, looking down to find the blade buried deeply inside of him and watching as I ripped it from him.

He was exhausted, and after everything that happened that day, he knew he could benefit from the rest, but his body was a livewire.  At first, he thought it was just all of the new power that came with being an alpha.  Then he realized it only started feeling overwhelming when he touched Erica.  Now, everything about her was distracting him.  The press of her body against his, the smell of her hair filling his nose with each breath he took, the beat of her heart acting as a metronome that his own heart was striving to match if only to feel in rhythm with her.  He had no idea what to make of these feelings, not because they were foreign, but because they had never been this strong, this uncontrollable.  A part of him wondered if he would benefit from stepping away and giving himself space to breathe, but the mere thought of being away from her caused his stomach to turn. Eventually, when he was finally able to fall asleep, thinking about Erica turned into dreaming about Erica.  He wondered if this is how it happened with Stiles.  One minute, he was a confused mess wondering when his best friend became someone totally different to him, and the next, he was falling.  Falling hard, falling fast, and falling so deeply he was certain - and hopeful -  he would drown in her.  When he woke up hours later and found her still sleeping with her left hand splaying over his on her stomach, he accepted his fate and decided to enjoy it while he could.

As I reached Finan, he finally turned to look at me, the air rushing from his lungs as his mouth fell open at the sight of me.  With a soft chuckle, he shook his head, showing our shared disbelief that we had not only found each other but made it to this day.  At Beocca’s instruction, I placed my hand over Finan’s, my eyes following as the ribbon bound our hands together before looking up and finding him still watching me.  He kept my attention the rest of the wedding, his dark eyes locked onto mine and making the ceremony pass in a blur.  I managed to say my part when Beocca directed me to, and before I knew it, he was declaring us husband and wife. My arms wrapped tightly around Finan, a soft laugh escaping me when it struck me that he was my husband.  We were bound, not just by love, not just by duty towards each other, but now by God.  I belonged to a man again, but by my choice, and knowing fully well that he belonged to me too.  As our eyes met, and his hand cupped my cheek, I could not help but cry joyful tears before his lips captured mine in a sweet kiss.

“I’m not your mate, Erica,” he stated. “W-What?” Derek sighed, his jaw clenching as he thought back to the moment she was brought back to life.  “Being an alpha means that all of my abilities are stronger, more powerful.  That works with the mate bond too.  Alphas are able to sense when they’ve met their mate, usually much sooner than a beta, and way before humans figure it out.  How much I care about you hasn’t changed, and when I didn’t feel that pull that an alpha should feel towards his mate, I didn’t know what to do.  Maybe that’s why I was such an easy target for Jennifer.  I was confused and vulnerable, and she saw that and took advantage of me.” “You should have told me,” Erica told him.  “The moment you realized we weren’t mates, you should have told me.  Then you wouldn’t have had to hide Jennifer from me- from any of us.” “I know,” Derek nodded.  “But I didn’t want to lose you.” “I chose you, Derek!” she snapped.  “I chose you as my alpha.  I chose you to be loyal to, and to fight for and with.  You didn’t trick me or trap me into being your beta, and I never had any expectations about who my mate would be.  Okay?  So the only way you could lose me is by betraying my trust and my loyalty, which is exactly what you did.” “I’m sorry,” he sighed.  “I know that probably means nothing coming from me right now, but I am sorry.  I should have trusted you the way I’ve always trusted you.” “You’re so frustrating, you know that?” she grumbled, rubbing her forehead before brushing her hair out of her face.  “You’re smart enough to know better, but for whatever reason, you can’t seem to get out of your own way to do better.  You let your fear and insecurity cloud your judgment, and we all end up paying for it.” “I know,” he accepted, his head bowing.  “You deserve better.” “You’re damn right I deserve better,” she nodded.  She walked over to him, lifting his head up with a finger so he couldn’t avoid her glance.  “So be better.”

I sighed happily when he leaned down to kiss me, my hands splaying over his heart as I melted against him.  “If I am made this weak by your kisses, I worry for my stability when I experience more.” “You should worry,” he joked.  “If I do it right, you will be very unstable by the time I am finished with you.  I expect your legs to be wobblier than a newborn foal and my name to be the only one you can remember.” “Finan,” I breathed, my cheeks growing ruddier before he silenced me with another kiss. “Get a room!” came a voice nearby, Finan looking up to glare at Sihtric while I hid in his chest again. “Get lost!” Finan shot back, shaking his head before leading me back inside.  As the door closed, all I heard was Sihtric’s howling laughter.

With their tokens in hand, they each lowered themselves into their tubs, gripping the sides tightly before settling in the cold water. “By the way,” Stiles stammered, glancing over at Scott.  “If I don’t make it and you do, you should probably know something.  Your dad’s in town.”  He glanced back at Erica, whose brows furrowed at the look in his face.  “And, uh, take care of her.” “Stiles,” Erica muttered. “Always,” Scott promised him, his eyes shifting back to Erica just to see the stunned look on her face before adding to Stiles, “Right back at you.” “Always,” Stiles agreed.

“Your son does not look like a Saxon,” Thyra observed, watching me carefully. “His father was a Viking,” I told her.  “Sverri the trader, of Jutland.” “I remember hearing his name at Dunholm,” Thyra recalled, picking at the bread in her hands.  “How did you come to have a child with him?” I inhaled slowly through my nose, my eyes darting to Gisela, who nodded when she sensed my hesitance.  Thyra was Gisela’s family, and family of Uhtred, who I had come to trust completely.  If I could not trust Thyra too, who could I trust?  “I was stolen from Irland and sold to him years later as his concubine,” I explained.  “But he is gone now.”  I had to remind myself of this anytime I thought of my time as Sverri’s concubine.  It was a verbal touchstone, a comfort that I brought myself whenever my mind drifted to that period of my life. “Good,” Thyra stated, taking a bite from her bread.  “Any man who believes he can own a woman like she is a possession should freeze in Niflheim for eternity.” “Finan assures me he is burning in hell for all he had done in life, but Niflheim sounds like a suitable alternative,” I replied, smiling when Thyra laughed in response. Just like that, the hesitance between us vanished, and I had made a new friend.

“He needs to try and slow his breathing,” Jackson advised. “No shit!” Erica snapped. “I can’t.  I can’t,” Stiles shook his head, holding his hand over his chest when he started hyperventilating. “Erica, kiss him,” Lydia suggested quietly to her. “What?” Erica gaped. “Trust me!” Lydia insisted. “Fine!” Erica replied, moving closer to Stiles and gently cupping his face.  “Shh, shh.  Batman, look at me,” she coaxed.  “Shh, look at me.  Shh, Stiles.”  His eyes met hers and for a moment she forgot he was in the middle of a panic attack.  She forgot that Jackson and Lydia were standing right next to them, watching their every move.  She forgot that Scott was out there with the alpha pack, doing whatever was necessary to get his mom home safe.  She forgot about all of it and only saw him.  Stiles.  Her best friend.  Her first crush.  The boy she had spent the better part of a decade falling in love with over and over again. Their first kiss had been one of urgency, in case anything went wrong and she lost her chance.  The kisses in between had been of discovery and learning each other in this new way.  But this kiss was something else entirely.  As she held his face firmly and pressed her lips to his, it was like coming home again.  Not the home she grew up in, not the home she made in Derek’s building, but the metaphoric home.  That feeling of comfort and completion that could only be achieved by finding your true place in the world.  This kiss answered all of the questions she’d had about them, silenced all of the doubts she’d told herself over the years, and reminded herself of that little girl that felt her heart skip a beat over her scrawny, dorky best friend for the first time.

“I tire of watching you ride away from me,” I muttered, inhaling slowly when I felt his hand still on my back.  “Uhtred has agreed to let Olafr and I travel with you when it is safe to do so, but what if I wish to be by your side when it is not safe?” “I cannot allow that,” he insisted, shaking his head. “I am a healer,” I reminded him, propping myself up to look down at him.  “Let me be your healer.  Yours, Uhtred’s, Sihtric’s - whoever needs one, if I am there, then I can help.” “If you are there, then you could get hurt,” he disagreed. “If I am not, then you could die and I would be helpless to stop it,” I stated, pinching my lips together as I exhaled shakily through my nose.  “I have not feared death in many years, but I fear a life without you every moment we are apart.”  He cupped my cheek, my eyes closing to stop the tears I felt forming from falling.  “I am not asking to be kept on the front line of battle with you.  I am asking to be brought with you and kept nearby, ready to help if I am needed.”

“Isaac, calm down!” Cora pleaded, holding his arm with both of her hands to keep him from charging Derek. “No!” Isaac snapped.  “Melissa is gone!  The Sheriff is gone!  We are losing the only parents we have left, and you are doing nothing.” “We’re going to get them back together, but yelling at Derek isn’t going to help,” Allison pointed out, standing in front of Derek protectively. “Do you get how many people she’s killed?” Isaac reminded Derek. “For the thousandth time, I didn’t know it was her,” Derek stated, his tone calm but it was clear he was holding back his own personal feelings in order to allow Isaac to release his.  “If I had-” “You’d what?” Isaac prompted.  “You wouldn’t have had sex with her?  You literally slept with the enemy, which is already fucked up, but what about Erica?” “Woah, wait.  What do I have to do with this?” Erica questioned, taking a step back as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Derek could be your mate, and he slept with the monster that took Melissa,” Isaac explained. “Okay, everyone needs to stop bringing up my mate!” Erica declared, her voice a bit shrill with frustration.  She took a deep breath and looked around at all of them before continuing, “I appreciate that blood from one of you was the secret ingredient to bring me back to life, but none of you are obligated to be with me, alright?  Derek can sleep with whoever he wants, you can all date whoever you want, I don’t care!  All I care about is not losing anyone else.  I-I can’t lose anyone else.”

A soft sigh fell between us as his body shifted, my hand now on his shoulder gripping him slightly when I felt his hardened cock rub against me.  A neediness rose in me, causing my cheeks to flush as I pressed myself down on him more firmly.  The friction it caused sent shockwaves through me, but that was nothing compared to when he grunted, his hands suddenly grasping my waist to still me. “Stop,” he pleaded, his voice strained, causing me to sit up and better look at him with the help of candlelight. “I am sorry,” I apologized, assuming I had done something wrong or painful. “Don’t you dare,” he insisted, cupping my face and pulling me down so he could kiss me quickly.  “I need you to stop, because if you do not, I fear I will reach a point where I will not want to stop.”  His thumb caressed my cheek, his eyes looking over my features before meeting mine once more.  “My hope is that when that day comes, you will not want me to stop either.”

“You know, if you didn’t have such a recognizable car, I probably wouldn’t have pulled you over,” FBI agent Rafael McCall stated as he stepped up to Stiles’s door.  “Then again, I wouldn’t have any reason to pull you over if your father wasn’t missing in the first place.” “Are you even allowed to pull people over?” Stiles wondered.  “Where’d you get those lights?  Walmart?” “Happy to see your usual level of sarcasm hasn’t changed,” Agent McCall retorted. “I was going to say the same thing about your usual level of stupid,” Stiles snapped. “Stiles,” Erica scolded softly, swallowing when Rafael seemed to finally notice her sitting in the passenger’s seat. “Look at what we have here,” Rafael chuckled.  “Little Erica Reyes, that can’t possibly be you.” “Not so little anymore, Mr. McCall,” Erica admitted awkwardly, shifting in her seat when the older man’s eyes trailed over her body. “No, you certainly are not,” he commented, smirking up at her.  “And it’s Agent McCall.”  He turned back to Stiles, who was fuming beside her, then glanced back at her.  “Interesting how you two are alone together.  Must be a dream for you, Erica.  Or did you finally get over that crush you had?” “Are you asking on official FBI business, Agent McCall?” Stiles shot back, trying to put the man back in check. “Oooh, sensitive,” Rafael laughed.  “Fine, I’ll save the personal chat for later."

“Tonight, I will have Sihtric stay with Olafr and we will feast in the hall with the King.”  I nodded, my smile unwavering as Olafr came running towards us.  Finan caught him and swung him into his arms, my son giggling at the rush before sighing happily when he was put back down on the ground.  “Behave for your mother and Sihtric will spar with you before bed.” “Finan,” I went to argue, but he quirked a brow, challenging me to trust him.  “Only if Sihtric cleans him after.  I will not share a bed with a dirty child.” He walked over to me, leaning towards me to suggest, “You could share my bed.”  I felt his fingers run along the fabric of my skirt, rubbing it between two fingers as his grin softened.  “There is room for two.”

He started walking towards Deucalion, only pausing when Erica called his name.  “Looks like this is a job for Superman,” he offered, trying to get her to smile for him.  She managed a small one, but the tears in her eyes made the whole exchange bittersweet.  “I’m gonna find your dad,” he promised Stiles, turning to leave once more. “Wait!” Erica pleaded, rushing to him and grabbing his hand before he could walk away.  “Let me come with you.” “Erica,” Scott sighed.  “You can’t.” “Why not?” she demanded, her voice shaking.  “I don’t want you to go.” “If it would guarantee your focus, she is welcome to join you, Scott,” Deucalion offered.  “It is clear she has become a motivator and anchor for you.”  Scott glanced back at him, his jaw clenching at the implication, especially with Stiles standing right there. “We can save Melissa and bring the Sheriff home together,” Erica nodded, squeezing his hand for emphasis.  “Don’t go.” “I have to,” Scott reminded her, his eyes shifting down to their hands and back up to her.  “You have to let me go.” “I don’t want to,” she muttered, shaking her head before leaning into his touch when he reached up and brushed away a fallen tear.  “Stiles was right.  Bad things happen when we’re not all together.” “We’ll be together again,” he assured her, looking back at Stiles, who seemed to sense what he needed and came over to pull Erica back.  She held onto Scott’s hand as long as she could, her bottom lip quivering as Stiles tucked her into his side.  “I promise."

If I wanted more, I had to take the first step.  His mouth fell open slightly when I did so, closing the distance between us until I stood right in front of him.  When he took a deep breath, his chest brushed against mine, sending static waves through my body.  I looked down, my hand easing back into his in order to lift it.  His knuckles were swollen from the fight with the trader, the sight making me frown.  I lowered my head and lay soft kisses to his knuckles, letting my lips settle on the back of his hand like he had done for me countless times before. When my eyes returned to him, I was stunned by the awestruck look on his face.  He was enraptured by me, and all I had done was kiss his hand.  I could not help the small smile that grew on my face, my free hand reaching up to cup his cheek.  He had been patient, more patient than any man I had ever met, and in doing so, he had won me over.  He had given me more than just freedom.  He had completely liberated me. I had to lift myself onto my toes to kiss him, his body freezing beneath my touch.  I worried that the wait had not been worth it for him, but as I began to pull away, his arm wrapped around me, holding me against him as he kissed me back.

“I don’t like this,” he admitted, sighing when she took his hand and pulled him away from the rest of the group. “I don’t like this either, but I don’t think we have any other options right now,” she pointed out, trying to be logical, but he continued to shake his head.  “Unless you can think of some other-” “Why are we always splitting up?” he interrupted her, his attention remaining on her hand in his.  “It’s supposed to be all for one and one for all.” “Stiles, you can’t stay here,” she insisted.  “It’s not safe.” “Then come with us,” he requested. “And leave Scott?” she countered. “I want him with us too,” Stiles declared, adjusting her hand in his, his thumb brushing along her knuckles.  “Erica, every time we split up, something bad happens, or something bad almost happens, but either way, it’s never good when we’re not together.  Okay?  And every time you’re not by my side or in my arms, I think about all of the bad stuff that could happen and I worry that you’ll be taken away from me again and I can’t do that again.  I just can’t.  I still get nightmares of walking into Deaton’s back room and seeing you there, dead, and feeling like it would have never happened if the three of us were still together.  Together, like we’ve always been, like we’re supposed to be.  You and me and Scott.  So don’t ask me to go through all of that again, okay?  It was hard enough going through it the first time so if you think I’m going to just walk out of here without–” Whatever he was going to say next, he wouldn’t be able to remember, because he was cut off by the press of Erica’s lips.  A soft humph ended his rambling as he melted into the kiss, his hand burying in her hair as she gripped his shirt at his side.  Erica had waited years for this kiss, and it was everything she dreamed it would be.
