Running was something that happens when your training, playing a sport, or running for your life. For Talia running had been a part of her life for a year since her pack's murder by Mutts. Fifteen years of her life had been spent a part of a pack down in Tennessee until the fateful day Mutts attacked. She remembered her mother's last words to her before she was killed.

Growling could be heard along with broken windows and screaming. Talia came out of her room where she had been sleeping peacefully scared. She started looking around for her mother and threw herself in her arms when she found her. Even though she had been training and excelled at fighting especially since she was one of the few born wolves in existence her mother still refused to let Talia fight.

"Talia you need to run," her mother urged pushing her to the basement where a secret tunnel to the outside was.

"I can't the pack needs me," Talia cried trying to fight against her.

"No I need you to survive. They want you Talia because of who your father is and I'm sorry for not telling you about him but you need to go. Find your father you will know who he is once you see him," her mother finished locking her in the basement before she could say another word.

Talia had listened to her mother die while she ran through the tunnels. Ever since then she had been running and after a year she was ready to give up. The only thing that kept her going was her mother, the promise she made to live, to fight, and to find her father. The problem was that she had no clue who her father was and he didn't know who she was. Today after a year of surviving on the street in rags and eating from garbages she found herself in New York on the outer edge by Canada in Bear Valley where she sniffed Mutts out. Talia sighed as she walked along the abandoned warehouses trying to find shelter for the night. She froze mid step when she smelled a wolf, a Mutt and turned to fight only to be overpowered by three of them. Her head hit concrete and a knife stabbed her before she could do anything.

"Careful the boss wants her alive boys," the one in human told the two who were in their wolf forms.

"Go to hell," Talia growled her eyes flashing as she threw the two of them off and ran knowing it was her best chance.

Unfortunately the human one caught her and held her in a choke hold but she was turned when she smelled three more wolves and saw a woman and two men.

"This girl is nothing to you Jeremy leave," the man ordered.

"Let her go," the man, Jeremy ordered but Talia knew that he was more than just another wolf, he was her father she could smell it plus they looked alike.

"Do you know who she is Jeremy? Do you know why our boss, your father wants her?" the man asked, "She's a fighter too."

Talia gasped when the man was pushed away from her and she fell to the ground as she tried to get ready to run but she didn't want to because she found her father like her mother asked her to. The woman ran over to her but Talia didn't want to be touched by her and she flinched away backing up until she hit the side of the building.

"Meet your daughter Jeremy but remember even if I die your father will come after her," the man told him as he gasped for breath as the other man held him against the wall, "Like you she is a born wolf and he has plans for her."

The man didn't say anything else as his neck was snapped and Talia couldn't seem to catch her breath because if felt like there was something poisoning her. She heard the woman sniff her and turn to Jeremy, her father in alarm. Talia tried to be strong and hold on but her eyes kept closing. She backed away again when the woman tried to touch her and she growled.

"You've been poisoned I need to see where," the woman tried to reassure.

"You can go to hell lady," Talia growled out not wanting someone she didn't know or trust to touch her.

She watched through bleary eyes as her father, which was way too weird for her say, kneel down beside her and she saw his eyes turn bringing forth his wolf. Talia wanted to be afraid but this man was her father and her mother had told her to trust him when she finds him. The fact that with him near her right now she felt safe and that scared her as well considering she had been running for the past year.

"Was told to only to trust him," Talia said looking at Jeremy.

Talia saw him open his mouth to order the other two but she didn't hear it because she lost the fight. She heard her father growl out but didn't see what exactly it was about because darkness welcomed her. Talia felt arms catch her as she fell and could tell that it was her father because as soon as he touched her a connection was felt, he was now her alpha, her father and somehow she knew that he would protect her from anything.
