Dinah grinned, opening the door, "hey you."

"Hey yourself," Ally smiled, swinging her legs back and forth, sitting at the edge of the cot.

"So, good news," Dinah sat next to Ally.

"Which would be?" Ally looked at the brunette.

"My father is letting you out of here, he just has t-"

"Hallelujah!" Ally jumped up, pumping her fist in the air.

Dinah chuckled, "we just have to do a quick ceremony for blessing and welcoming into the pack and family and blah blah blah. Then we have to go back to school," she rolled her eyes.

"What day is today anyway?" Ally asked, straddling Dinah.

"Monday," Dinah shrugged, "but it's the middle of the day so we can leave after the ceremony is over. Lauren will be late because her class ends when the ceremony starts."

Ally nodded, "it hasn't even been a week and I'm over it."

Dinah laughed, "yeah, we'll get you out of here. Dad's preparing the ceremony now."

"Sweet," Ally grinned, leaning into Dinah and wrapping her arms around Dinah's waist. Dinah turned to lay on the cot, keeping Ally on top of her.

"Let's take a nap so I don't have to help with setup," Dinah suggested.

Ally rolled her eyes, "whatever, you'll just be stuck with cleaning up."

"Shhhh," Dinah put her finger on Ally's lips, making her giggle. "Less talking, more sleeping."

"Welcome Ally!"

Everyone in the backyard clapped, cheering on the blonde standing sheepishly next to Mike. Dinah was smiling at clapping, sending Ally a wink. Once the cheering died down, conversation returned to normal as the celebration continued.

"Congrats Als!" Lauren reached her first, pulling her in for a hug.

"Thanks Lo," Ally grinned, hugging back.

Ally was talking with a few of Dinah's siblings when Dinah walked up, standing behind her.

"Can I steal you for a sec?" Dinah asked softly. Ally nodded, slipping her hand into Dinah's as Dinah led the way. Dinah slowly opened the gate and closed it after Ally, pulling the blonde away from the party.

"Where are we going?" Ally inquired.

"The cliff," Dinah shrugged, tightening her grip on Ally's hand. They stayed quiet the rest of the way, just enjoying their surroundings.

Dinah stopped a few feet from the ledge, water crashing below. She turned to Ally, who did the same, looking up. Dinah took this time to study Ally's face, noting every curve and crease on every inch of the surface. Ally's eyebrows furrowed, wondering what Dinah was thinking as she watched her eyes scatter across her face.

"What's going on up there?" Ally questioned quietly.

"Just admiring the view," Dinah responded immediately, "I won't ever get over how lucky I got."

"If anything I got lucky," Ally chortled, "if it weren't for you and Lauren backing up Normani I would still be with Troy," her nose scrunched up uncomfortably at the mention of his name, "instead I get to stand here and say I'm with the best girlfriend ever."

"I know, but you didn't have to shift, yet you did anyway and endured five days of hell for me. I will never be able to repay you," Dinah retorted as Ally's arms found their way around Dinah's waist, holding her close.

"You don't have to repay me, you saved me three times over from that douche bag of an ex. And being with you is enough, I love being your girlfriend and being by your side. Yeah I've got a lot to learn about this role I and we have to fill, but that's okay with me as long as I get to do it with you," Ally countered.

Dinah sighed, the glow of the moon hitting the side of Ally's face perfectly, "you are perfect. In every way."

"So are you," Ally squeezed her arms.

"Ally," Dinah's voice dropped to a whisper as she met her gaze.

"Dinah?" Ally questioned.

"I love you."

Ally's eyes widened for a second before her face softened, a grin spreading across her lips, "I love you."

"I mean it wholeheartedly when I say that," Dinah continued.

"I do too," Ally nodded.

"I love you," Dinah leaned down to rest her forehead on Ally's.

"I love you too," Ally exhaled before leaning up to connect their lips.

"Dad said you'd guys be out here."

Dinah groaned before pulling away, "what is it?"

"Nothing, just said you guys needed to pack before we leave," Chris shrugged, "I'm taking you guys back to campus."

"Okay, well let's go." Ally's hands fell from Dinah's wrist, opting instead to hold Dinah's hand again.

As they walked up toward Ally's dorm, Dinah looked at Ally briefly, "can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Ally nodded.

"Well, do your parents know about any of this? Us?" Dinah asked carefully.

Ally inhaled, slowing to a stop and prompting Dinah to stop with her, "I um, haven't talked to them in a while, really. The last time I did I was still with Troy."

"Oh, so they don't know about you becoming part wolf," Dinah muttered.

Ally shook her head, "they don't. I plan on telling them as soon as I get in touch with them."

Dinah nodded, "okay." Ally sensed Dinah had a lot more questions to ask, but bit her tongue back. They went back to walking, entering Ally's dorm hall.

"They travel a lot, for their job and for vacation. They're hardly ever home and barely recognize the fact that they have a son and daughter," Ally continued.

"Son?" Dinah questioned.

"I have an older brother, Brandon," Ally nodded, "he doesn't live here though, he moved to Switzerland. He has a wife and two kids, Jack and Asher, the sweetest little boys you'll ever meet. I haven't seen them since the day they were born, since they were born here in town. But then Brandon and his wife took them back to Switzerland, where his wife is from."

"Oh wow," Dinah murmured, unsure of what to say.

Ally sighed and stopped in front of her door, "I may not have much of a blood family, but I do have a family. I have you, Lo, Mani, her family, your family, Zendaya, Mila. That's all I really need."

Dinah nodded, "you always have me."

"I know, I'm grateful for you," Ally said, being pulled into Dinah's embrace.

"And I for you," Dinah kissed the top of her head before Ally tilted her head back to pucker her lips. Dinah chuckled and pressed multiple kisses to Ally's lips, making her giggle.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow," Ally said, pulling away reluctantly.

"That you will, kill it in school," Dinah said, watching Ally unlock her door and push her bag through the door.

"You too. I love you," Ally grinned, a twinkle in her eye as she said the words.

Dinah smiled, "I love you."
