I guess when I really attempt to clear my brain...lol...Derek lost his first love tragically through some slick manipulation. His second attempt at love got his most of his family destroyed.

However, I don't buy into the runt theory...youngest...maybe, but not runt....

Your comment made me think of another reason that Talia may have asked Deaton to look after him...he is kind of a magnet for trouble...everytime he falls in love something bad happens...you can add Jennifer to that list even though Talia wouldn't have known about that relationship.

If Talia did die in the fire or shortly thereafter(due to injuries from the fire) and knew about Kate it's even possible she asked Deaton to look after him because she was afraid that Derek would blame himself for what happened and not be able to get past it and she wanted someone to help him.

Who knows perhaps his sacrifice of Paige forever tied him to the Nemeton and Talia knew it would eventually bring trouble for him and that's why she asked Deaton to look after Derek. There are probably tons of different reasons Jeff could give for it...but like you I don't buy that he was a runt. And Deaton certainly hasn't helped to prepare him to be an alpha or a leader at all.

Anyway running gleefully under your sprinkles of wolfsbane as they fall from your Darkfairy wand...with a glass of punch in my hand. lol
