Hale Pack House
(One Day Later)

Remus- Sirius, Frenrir and I apparated Harlow from the UK all the way to America in two hours time.

Sirius- Taking my Goddaughters hand and giving it a squeeze, we walk up the steps as I knock on the door. "Are you excited?"

Harlow- (Bites Bottom Lip) I really didn't have time to answer as the door was whipped open and I literally clung to my Godfather.

Isaac- Hearing a knock at the door. "Got it!" Opening the door, my eyes widen to the point they nearly pop out of my skull. (Yells) "DEREK, PETER!" I slowly back away from the two wolves and the shifter.

Derek- Both Peter and I drop what we're doing and come running. "What? What happened?"

Peter- Glancing out the opened door, I lock eyes with our distant cousin. (Smirks) "Well, look who it is. Long time, no see cousin. How've you been?" Gently pushing Isaac back towards the couch where he is supposed to be, Derek and I both step outside unto the porch.

Derek- (Frowns) I look from my cousin to his mate and their companion. "What brings you all the way to America?" Glancing between the three curiously. "Better yet what brings you here to the Preserve?"

Sirius- (Chuckles) I gesture to my mate and Frenrir. "We've been better Peter." I try my damned hardest to detach Harlow's claws.

Derek- My eyes widen in shock as I finally notice the petite teen clinging to his legs.

Sirius- (Sighs Heavily) "Trouble." I pause for a moment before continuing. "Where we live specifically is at war and it's not as safe, not like it used to be." Glancing down at my Goddaughter who clings to me. "I don't want a promise nor a vow, just your word that you'd take care of our Princess as if she was your own." I hand all the documents and shrunken trunk to Peter.

Peter- Derek and I share a mirrored look of understanding. (Huffs) Taking the papers, I quickly read them and then hand them to Derek after pocketing the shrunken object.

Derek- I take my time to read the documents. (Sighs) "She's gonna be a problem for us isn't she?"

Sirius- (Shakes Head) "No, that's why we brought her here. I knew without a doubt she'd be safe."

Derek- (Frowns) "You're asking a lot, considering you know our history."

Sirius- (Smirks Coyly) "I know."

Peter- Kneeling down to the small teens level. (Coos) "It's okay, you're safe here." I thought I'd have to try a different tactic, but was shocked when I suddenly had the teenage girl in my arms and clinging to me as if it was the end of the world. (Growls Lowly)

Sirius- Tilting my head slightly as I admire my Goddaughter in Peter's arms. (Smiles) "Harlow, we promise to come see you every holiday and on your birthdays. We'll write you every night. Stay safe Princess, we love you."

Remus- Leaning slightly, I press a kiss to the girls temple. "Give them a chance, let them protect and love you."

Frenrir- Saying my goodbyes to the girl as well. "Pack is family, I know you're afraid to get close to anyone, but let them be your anchor."

Twenty Minutes Later

Derek- Peter and I are still out on the porch after our cousin, his mate and their friend had left.

Peter- I shift the girls weight slightly and wipe away the tears that have begun to fall.

Stiles- After calming down Isaac who was having a panic attack, I step outside and help Peter with the mysterious girl. "Who is she?" Glancing over at my mate curiously.

Derek- I hand Stiles all the paperwork. "Our cousin dropped her off a few minutes ago."

Stiles- I quickly read the mess of papers. (Hums Coyly) "A new pup."

Derek- (Mutters Lowly) "More like Runt." Really looking at the teen, she was unnervingly small.

Peter- (Growls) I didn't like the way my nephew was looking at our new Pack pup and was about to make my displeasure known.

Stiles- I hit my wolf in the chest with the papers. "Rude and even though that may be, we'll all love on her." Hearing a rather low and dangerous growl, I hit Peter too.

3rd Person P.O.V- Things were about to get more interesting for the Hale Pack, I mean it's not like living in Beacon Hills is boring or anything, but you know Fate just had to go and spice everything up.

(Later That Same Day)

Isaac- Getting over my anxiety and shock of our unexpected visitors, I get really curious about the girl that Peter practically vanished with.

Harlow- I'm laying snuggled beneath a mountain of blankets, when I hear the bedroom door open.

Isaac- Peeking into the bedroom, I nearly faint when two dazzling blue eyes watch me from beneath the mountain of blankets. (Chuckles) Sneaking in, I shut the door behind me as I crawl on the bed beside where the girl is curled up. (Smiles Brightly) "Hi." Gently poking the moving bundle. "May I join you?"

Harlow- He pokes me in the ribs. (Giggles) I loosen my death grip and allow him to join me in my fort.

Isaac- Sliding beneath the blankets beside her. "I'm Isaac Lahey, you?"

Harlow- Shifting slightly as I snuggle into Peter's pillow. "Harlow Hale."

Isaac- My eyes widen as I really look at her, taking in all her features. "Are you Peter's or Derek's?" (Blushes) "Sorry, that's rude of me to ask or insinuate...." She cuts me off.

Harlow- Feeling more comfortable, I lean against the boy as I rest my head on his shoulder. (Smiles Contently) "My full name is Harlow Talia Hale and my parents are dead. I was raised by my Godfather and his mate, we lived in London." Pausing for a moment to think over the words I wish to use and then continue. "Where we lived it wasn't safe anymore, it became a war zone and my Godfather wanted me as far away from all that as possible."

Isaac- (Nods Understandingly) "They brought you here, knowing you'd be safer."

Harlow- (Nods) "Exactly."

Isaac- I thought it would be best to change the subject, plus I really wanted to get to know my little sister better. "How old are you?"

Harlow- (Giggles) "Thirteen."

3rd Person P.O.V- Peter got out of the shower and walked back into his room to find not one pup but two under his covers and they were currently in a heated game of twenty-one questions.

(Later That Same Night)

3rd Person P.O.V- The two Packs slowly walked through the house door, greeting their Alpha and showing some love to their Pack mom.

Stiles- The table has long since been set and the food served as we all sit down to eat. "Scott, Liam, Jackson, Ethan, Aiden, Danny how was practice?"

Scott- (Smiles Widely) "It was great!"

Liam, Jackson, Ethan, Aiden and Danny- (Groans) We all cringe at the mere thought of our Lacrosse practice.

Derek- (Smirks Proudly) "Your mom and I can't wait for the seasons first game."

Stiles- (Chuckles) "Theo how did you do on your tests today?"

Theo- (Smiles Brightly) I eagerly hand over the papers.

Stiles- Taking the papers and reading them over. (Smiles Proudly) "All A's, very nice." I turn my attention to the girls. "Erica, how'd you do giving your speech report?"

Erica- (Shrieks Excitedly) "Aced it!"

Stiles- (Smiles Proudly) "That's what I love to hear. Lydia, Allison how was your weekend Hunting?"

Lydia- Sharing a mirrored bemused look with my sister.

Allison- (Smiles Proudly) "It went really well, the Vampire told us everything we wanted to know."

Lydia- I place a simple box in front of our mom. "And we brought you home a present as promised."

Stiles- (Nods) I open the box. "Oh, I don't have any of these yet. Thank you girls!" They brought me home another crystal for my slowly growing collection. "Malia, Kira how was your trip to Nevada?"

Kira- (Smiles) "It was amazing."

Stiles- Tilting my head to the side slightly as I see the emotions flood Malia's beautiful eyes. "What happened Malia?"

Malia- Stabbing at my food as I push it around my plate. "I found my birth mom and the meeting didn't go exactly as planned." I leave it at that.

Stiles- (Frowns) We all knew better than to pry. "My poor baby." If looks could kill, I'd be twenty feet under. "Coura, how was work?"

Coura- (Huffs) "Boring as fuck." I gesture to the small child sitting between Peter and Stiles. "Who is she?"

Harlow- I was sitting there silently eating my dinner, glancing up I see everyone staring at me.

Derek- (Growls Warningly) They all look away.

Peter- Running my fingers through the young teens hair. "This is Harlow Talia Hale, she's gonna be staying with us for awhile."

Scott- (Raises Eyebrow) "Hale?"

Isaac- Swallowing the soup in my mouth. "She's from a London Pack."

Coura- Looking between my uncles. "Why is she here, shouldn't she be with family in London?"

Stiles- Getting the small teen another glass of juice. "Her parents were killed when she was a baby and she was raised by her Godfather. Who believed she would be safer here, far away from the war zone that London had become."

Derek- After Stiles had revealed such private information, there was a long tense silence for a good thirty minutes.

Scott- The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. "So, we are keeping her?"

Derek- (Hums) "For now yes as we are the only family she has."

Malia- We couldn't help but to admire the petite girl, there was just something otherworldly about her. (Smiles) "We promise to protect her." .

Coura- (Nods Agreeingly) "She is ours."

Allison- (Hums) "No harm will ever come to our pretty thing!"

Derek- They were all in agreement about the Runt, that no harm would come to her and they'd protect her with their lives. (Sighs Softly)

Harlow- I cuddle into Peter's side as he runs his fingers through my hair in a soothing manor as I watch everyone with wide eyes unsure of how to really handle all this. After having my trust shattered, friendships broken and being abused repeatedly all of this was so new and being loved is so foreign.
