There is this the last chapter and sequel is already in works. I will post a author's note in here when it's up.

Five

Talia gasped as she shot up in bed from the nightmare, the same one every time about her mother's death except this time it featured her father and his death. She hated this feeling of dread and it didn't help that the man responsible for everything was technically her grandfather, Malcolm Danvers. She didn't blame her father at all knowing that the man hated him as well but it still hurt that someone who was supposed to be family could treat them that way. She felt the tears fell and swung her legs over the bed as she did something she had been wanting to do since she had been here, find comfort in her father. Talia had grown to trust him and the pack in the past two weeks that she had been here and right now she needed to know that he was at least alive. She was nervous because she didn't want to bother him though it reassure her that he was at least awake in his study. She wrapped her arms around herself feeling cold despite the fact she was wearing a hoodie and sweats and walked inside seeing her father sitting there looking at paperwork.

"Is everything alright?" Jeremy asked wanting his daughter to come to him for comfort after a nightmare like Clay had done as a child.

Jeremy looked up when she didn't answer and saw the raw look of fear, despair, and sadness in her blue eyes. Never before had his daughter looked so vulnerable in front him in the time she had been here but seeing her he knew that she had grown to trust him immensely. The alpha watched as Talia started fidgeting before sitting down on the couch in the study and she hugged her knees to her chest.

"I had a nightmare," Talia whispered so low that if he wasn't a werewolf or an alpha he wouldn't have heard it and he walked over to take a seat on the couch knowing that the paperwork could wait, his child needed him.

"Do you want to tell me what it was about?" Jeremy asked leaning back wanting to wrap his arms around her but waiting.

"I dreamed about my mother's death but then it changed, it was different. He killed you," Talia cried as she truly broke down for the first time.

"I'm here and I'm not going anywhere," Jeremy reassured shocked.

Jeremy barely had time to open his arms before his daughter was throwing herself at him in tears. He wrapped his arms tightly around her as she clutched his shirt and sobbed her heart out into his chest. He didn't care what he had to he was going to stay alive and be there for Talia, he would not let Malcolm win. Jeremy had beat him once to become alpha after his father tried to kill him and at the time he hadn't wanted to kill his father so he banished him making him a Mutt. Jeremy would kill Malcolm to protect his daughter and his pack he didn't care what he had to do. Finally after what felt like hours Talia had tired herself out so much that she fell asleep on his chest and when he tried to move so she could lay down she whimpered. The last time this had happened was with Clay when the boy had nightmares and the only thing that stopped him from whimpering when he left was his smell. Jeremy stood up laying her down as she whimpered and he grabbed one of the shirts he wore yesterday that was hanging over his chair and put it under her head. He smiled putting a kiss on her head as she finally quieted down and fell into a restful sleep. Talia would be protected and for that to happen Malcolm needed to be stopped.

~Little Wolf~

Jeremy ignored the questioning look of his pack when they saw Talia asleep on the couch in the study wrapped in the throw blanket with one of her father's shirts as a pillow for comfort. Clay wasn't really questioning it because he understood that had been him many years ago. After finally trusting Jeremy who had gotten rid of Malcolm, Clay had started having nightmares that turned into fear for Jeremy so he would go to the alpha for comfort which continued to when he was a teenager not that he would tell many people that. The enforcer looked into his alpha's eyes and while he saw concern as well as slight fear he saw relief and Clay knew it was because Talia had hit a turning point, she had trusted her father with her deepest fear and so Clay was not going to ruin it by asking.

"We need to figure out what to do," Jeremy said.

"Malcolm went after Aria because she had carried your child who was a born wolf," Clay told him crossing his arms trying to be quiet so the girl could sleep.

"I don't care why he did it Clay he's gone too far. I didn't want to kill him because he was my father still but now I can't let him get away with all he's done," Jeremy said looking determined.

"He's still going to want Talia," Nick stated knowing they were all thinking it, "I mean those Mutts were trying to take her alive on his orders."

"Malcolm is not getting my daughter. No one is going to touch her, they are going to have to get through my dead body before that ever happens," Jeremy said with a growl.

"Mine as well," Clay said his eyes flashing to show his alpha that Talia was pack, his sister and she was not going to be hurt on his watch.

As soon as Jeremy and Clay swore to protect Talia the whole pack felt as the bond finished letting them all know that she was completely pack now. The two other wolves could see that the two Danvers men were not going to let anyone or anything hurt Talia and if they tried it would take walking over their dead bodies. The whole pack was going to protect Talia no matter what but anyone could see looking at Jeremy that Malcolm was not going to have a chance to touch her not ever. The battle was coming soon and if they were going to defeat Malcolm they needed allies because the evil that was Malcolm needed to be stopped no matter what.
