"So she let you stay" Lizzie pointed out, working on her English assignment.

"Yeah, one thing about Hope is she doesn't like threats" Finch chuckled. "Threats?"

"Your schools Alpha threatened the pack, Hopes just standing her ground."

Lizzie hummed, looking up to the ringing bell.

She walked the halls to her next class, using her new route to bump in to Hope as she always did. But this time the auburnette didn't stop to talk, she blew right past her to talk to the brunette. Lizzies face dropped, her head turned to see the two laughing and smiling. She wondered if Josie was more than just a bestfriend to the Tribrid.

"Hey, Finch !" She shouted, coming up with a plan. "Wait up"

"What is it, Saltzman?"

"Incase you were thinking of making a move on my sister any time soo—"

"No thank you, Hope has already claimed her"

"Claimed her? I really hope that means something other than her peeing on my sister"

Finch chuckled "Shes marked, you can smell Hope all over her. Theres no way I'd make my move now"

Lizzie furrowed her brows. "That doesn't make sense, Hope doesn't like Josie"

"What rock are you living under? I've been here for all of 3 days and I noticed the intense bond between the two. You might be right Hope may not like your sister but she is definitely in love with her"

Lizzie bit her lip, her mind racing with possibilities just as Finch began to walk off. "Josies great" She shouted, making the wolf pause in her tracks. "What?"

"Shes amazing, you know. And Hope is most certainly not her type" She walked towards the wolf. "But you, you are."

"What do you expect me to do, Lizzie? Hope is my leader."

"Fight for the girl you like" She shrugged. "I hardly even know her"

"Then get to know her, I know for a fact she doesnt reciprocate Hopes feelings." She lied. "So let her reciprocate yours."

Finch hummed "I don't know..."

"You're really going to let Hope stand in your way? You really need some self-respect"

Finch rolled her eyes. "Look, my dear friend. Just take her on a date to the Mystic Grill, shes vegetarian so anything veggie related will suit her." She patted the wolfs shoulder, giving her a bright smile before walking off feeling very accomplished.

She texted the auburnette not too much later, asking her to come to her room since she gathered that Jo would be out all day with Finch.

"Is everything okay?" The auburnette asked, creeping in to the room. Lizzie smiled "Everythings great, just felt like we havent spent a lot of time together. Come lay down" She patted the space next to her. "I got the Titanic on"

Hope smiled, hopping on to the bed. "I love this movie !"

"Love sick fool" She groaned, getting comfortable with her arms behind her head.

They watched the movie like that for some time before Lizzie gathered the courage to cuddle amongst the girl, it was nice and simple. She moved the auburnettes head on to her chest, running her fingers through her hair. Almost as if they were dating, she hoped the girl couldnt hear how fast her heart was beating. Hopes fingers traced circles on her side, she could feel every movement on her skin and she felt at home. Sure she had to sabotage her sister to get just like this but she wouldn't change a thing, not the world. This is where she wanted to be, this is who she wanted to be with.
