As I turned around I saw 2 doorways but no doors I went to the right door way first. Inside was a huge kitchenette with grey cabinets and marble counters that matched the grey and white walls. It had a sink, counter top stove, in wall oven, and plenty of counter space along with a fridge that wasn't big enough to be full sized but bigger than a mini fridge. It had a coffee bar and a bunch of kitchen utensils. There was another doorway that led through the kitchen I headed through and it was a office/living room. On one side was a huge tv with a sectional couch and huge glass living room table. On the other side was a U-shaped desk with a brand new 17.3" 2-1 touchscreen Chromebook and a printer. The desk was stocked with pens, pencils, highlighters, sharpies, notebooks, printer paper, stick notes, notecards, etc.
"This is incredible" I said quietly to myself.
"It truly is something here" Zari said from behind me. I turned towards her, I forgot she was with me.

"Do you wanna see your bathroom?" She asked smiling. I nodded excitedly. As we walked back to the bedroom we went in the other doorway. The bathtub and shower were connected side by side, the bathtub was 60x60 it was magnificent. It's was dark grey white marble around the top, there was a window that out looked the forest at the end of the tub and there was a seat in the tub. The tub was a jet tub. Next to the tub was a shower the glass only went up to the outside of the tub, there were 2 shower heads one hung on the ceiling above the tub and one hung from the ceiling above the shower. There was also a seat in the shower and some built in wall storage and the space between the tub and shower was open. On the other side of the bathroom was a toilet and a huge counter with storage underneath. There were 2 sinks both sat on top of the counter not into the counter like most. They were shaped like bowls. The mirror above was a touch screen, anti fog vanity mirror were led lights built in all the way around the outside of the mirror. There was no door on the bathroom but I really didn't mind. There was also a huge walk in closet filled with clothes and shoes.

"This is all for me?" I said with my mouth still hung open as I turned towards Zari.
"I hope you like it. I didn't know the sizes so I got a little of everything between 00-5. I spent all night and most of the morning decorating in case you said yes. I hoped you'd say yes. We've tried for years to have kids and haven't been successful. I'm excited to have you just as much as my husband. We just want you to have a good life and we couldn't stand to see you be exiled from the pack. Your parents were some of our close friends and before you were born I was kidnapped by a rogue pack and your parents are the ones who saved my life. They're my heroes and I wanna do right by them this is the best way I think I could ever repay them.. if I could've been there to save them I would have" Zari said as she started to tear up. I ran and hugged her, she pulled me in. Zari reminded me of my mom the way she was passionate about people and cared about others.
"I can only imagine they would've loved the idea of you guys taking me in" I said quietly.
"I hope so" she said quietly "Okay dear staff will have dinner prepared in an hour and a half if you wanna shower or anything I'll give you the evening to yourself to relax and get used to having this space to yourself. At dinner I'll introduce you to some of the staff and then you can have free time before you get some rest." I nodded and she left the room shutting the door. I unpacked all of my stuff and found a book, I sat it the hanging chair while I read. Time eventually flooded away from me while I was reading, I heard a knock on the door as I stood to open it. Zari walked in with another girl who looked about my age and a boy who looked about my age.

"This is Jaylene, she goes by Jay and this is her twin brother Jaxon, he goes by Jax. They have both volunteered to help you with anything and be a support system for you if you need, Kartier and myself will also be that for you but they're your age and they work here and go to school here, we pay for private lessons and trainers for both of them." Zari said.
"Hi I'm Cassiopeia but I go by Cassie" I said quietly. I had never really paid attention to Zari looks but her and Jay look a lot alike, they both have black hair and hazel/green eyes. Jax has dark brown almost black hair and little green eyes, he was fairly handsome it made me nervous.
"Hi! It's nice to meet you. If you need anything please don't be scared to say anything we were once new and we know how confusing the house can be. I can give you my number if you like?" Jay said. She sounded super sweet.
"I have a phone but it's old and almost out of minute so it wouldn't be much use" I said quietly.
"We'll get you a new one tomorrow! Jax has volunteered to go with us to help." Zari said and I glanced to Jax. He smiled.
"I don't know how to use those newer phones so we'll have to get an older phone" I said.
"Nonsense I'm tech savvy whatever phone you get I can show you how to use it and I will help you figure it out and I can set it up and program Zari, Kartier, Jay and my number in it so you'll have all of our numbers" Jax said, he had a deep voice.
"Thank you" I said quietly.
"That's a wonderful idea, that would be great Jax" Zari said "okay everyone dinners done, let's all go eat." We all ate dinner and went to bed.
