"My section has five rooms. My bedroom, a guest room which both have on suites, a bathroom, a living room and a mini library." He tells me as we go up another staircase and turning left.
From glancing out a passing window, I can tell we are on the top floor and I'm stunned at how large the castle actually is. I'm in awe at how high the ceilings are as I continue to follow Azaizal down the long corridor. He stops in front of a door and turns.
"Are you ready?" He asks, clasping the silver door handle. I nod my wolf head and wait for him to open it. He turns it and walks in and I'm quickly behind him admiring everything. It's decorated dark blue and gold much like a lot of the castle but it suits him. I follow him further, not questioning the passing doors until we get to what seems to be the living room. It has a pretty simple set up but it makes it extravagant. The sofas are white and a large flat screen tv is hung on the wall.
After looking around, I turn back around to admire Azaizal a little more even though he's looking right at me. I notice his hair is a little long on top as it hangs over his ears. The sides are shaved and he has it slicked back with a few strands hanging on the sides and over his forehead. He looks really good with it like that.
After admiring him for a bit, I quickly look around before staring back at him. I want to ask which room is mine but I feel rude so I just wait for him to speak. He gets what I'm thinking as he smiles and points at a door. "That ones yours, it's opposite mine."
I love his voice more and more every-time he speaks and it makes me shiver. I feel myself blush and quickly turn away, trotting to the open door that is now my room while I'm here. I close the door with my nose and turn to look at the room. The room is painted white with one wall matching the stone of the castle.
The bed in the centre of the back wall has royal blue covers with gold. There's also a desk and a small fireplace.
Remembering we had the dinner to get too I swiftly took off my bag with my paw, dropping it to the ground. I shake my fur out, relieved to not have anything on my back anymore.
Within seconds I've shifted into my five-foot-two small and slender body where my white wolf was standing. I quickly grab my underwear then my formal clothes, which consists of my white blouse and black jeans. I brush my mousy brown hair and pull it into a high pony tail, leaving a few strands out to flow around my face. I look at myself in the mirror and quickly realise how similar my eyes are to Azaizals wolf and his to mine. His eyes are blue and so are my wolfs. Strange.
I quickly check I'm ready to go after putting on my shoes and turn myself to the door.
I place my hand in the silver door handle and push it down. I can't help but feel the nerves of Azaizal seeing me in human form for the first time. The thoughts of what if he sees me differently? Will he think I'm weak? Will he change knowing what I look like?
Even though he's not my mate, I feel disappointment from the fact that he might not like me. It feels like my chest is tightening from the possible fact that he won't see what he's expecting.
'Ally, I don't want to do this' I tell her truthfully. I feel her understanding as she comes forward to me. Laying her head on her paws in my head.
'I know how you feel Ella, but we have nothing to worry about. It'll be fine I promise. We may look weak but you know we are definitely not weak. We have got through life at home so we can definitely face one guy, even if he is super cute.' I take a deep breath, taking in Ally's words and realise she's right.
'Thank you Ally, I needed that. You're the best' she gives a smug wolf grin and stands turning around and trotting proudly back to her corner of my mind. She swishes her tail, purposely swaying her hips.
'Obviously I'm the best Ella, duh. I'm not your wolf for nothing.' She tells me sassily. I laugh and take yet another deep breath.
You can do this Ella. It's only Azaizal. You'll be fine. Just pull down the handle and open the door. Ok, I got this. Let's do this.
I pull open the door and our eyes meet.
