think that they stopped me, but I’m back and I will destroy them.” She picked up the dog whistle and placed it in her pocket.


The next day, Millie and Kyle were preparing to leave. They had woken up early and started to pack. Everyone, but Wagner, had gotten up to tell them bye. Lacy already had breakfast made for them. Champ and Shawn were going to eat Kyle and Millie’s food, but Lacy smacked their hands with the spatula.
Kyle and Millie ate and then were about to walk out of the door. “Bye, thanks for breakfast,” Kyle told them.
“We’ll see you all when we get back,” Millie said.


Kat knocked on the door. Lacy answered it. She was excited to see Kat and gave her a big hug. “I’m so happy that you and Champ are back together,” Lacy told her.
“I know,” Kat laughed. “Did Millie and Kyle leave yet?”
“Yea, actually, they left this morning,” Lacy answered.
“Good because I can’t stand Millie.”
“Yea I know, hey come on in. Champ’s kind of busy right now.”
“Alright.” Kat walked in and looked around.
Lacy closed the door.
Kat was amazed that even though the old cottage was burnt down, Tom did a good job at making the new one look like the old one. “Tom did a good job.”
“Yea. He didn’t have to, but he wanted to build a home for us.”
“Yea, I remember Tom and Jane.... They were always trying to help others, who needed it.... They’re kind hearted people.”
“Yes they are.”
Champ kind of ran down the stairs and over to Kat. When he got to her, he put his arm around her and kissed her cheek. “Ready to go?” he asked.
“Yea,” Kat answered.
“Well, see ya, Lace,” Champ said as he opened the door.
“Bye, you two,” Lacy told them as the walked out of the door. She had the house to herself because Stina and Wagner went with Shawn to the bookstore, Millie and Kyle were on their way to the wolf council and Champ brought Kat to the skating ring to surprise her. He wasn’t really into any kind of skating, but he knew that she liked it so he decided that she would enjoy it.


Millie and Kyle could see the beautiful, white mansion. It blended in with the snow. They seen people walking in and out of the mansion. Millie sighed she didn’t want to go any closer. She knew who was there and she had to talk to him.
“Well, we’re here, Millie.”
“I’d rather stay out here and freeze to death.”
“No you’re not.” Kyle grabbed Millie’s arm and dragged her toward the house. Waiting to be Called

Millie took a deep breath. She needed to relax. Her and Kyle were almost to the house when a skinny, red haired woman and a tall, kind of skinny, dark haired guy walked over to them. The woman was about in her late 30's, early 40's. She was really hyper. She gave Millie a hug then Kyle a hug. “Oh my gosh. Millie, and Kyle, you two look so grown up now. How is the pack?”
“We're good,” Kyle answered. “Hey, Ash. What's up?”
“Nothing much,” the man replied.
“So how's my baby?” the woman asked.
“She's doing good,” Kyle answered. “She burnt down the cottage....”
“Oh my. Everyone's okay though?”
“Yea.”
“Leada, where's James?” Millie asked. She was mad.
“Oh.... He's in his office....”
Millie walked away before Stina's mother could finish her sentence.
“I'm sorry about that, Leada. Millie kind of doesn't want to be here, because of James,” Kyle explained.


A man in his 50's was sitting at a desk in an office. He looked good for his age. He had short, gray hair and his cheeks were sucked in. He hunched over the desk, writing.
Someone knocked on the door.
“I'M WORKING!” the man called.
Millie opened the door and walked in.
“I told you....”
“I know you're working,” Millie finished.
The man looked up at Millie. He could see the anger and hate in her eyes. He didn't say anything. He knew why she was mad and no matter what he told her it wouldn't change.
“Why am I here, James?”
“You know that I can't tell you.... You'll find out at the meeting.”
“I want to know now.”
“I can't tell you, kid.”
“I'm 119.... I'm not a kid.”
“Just get out of my office.”
“No.”
“Get out.”
“No.”
“GET OUT!”
“NO!”
Now both of the wolves were growling at each other. James stood up and leaned over the desk to let Millie know who was in charge. Millie didn't back down though. If she could of, she would of killed James, but she didn't have the heart.
Kyle had walked into the room and jumped in between Millie and James. He didn't want to see them fight. He knew that even though James was older, he was also stronger than Millie. He didn't want to see James slaughter his girlfriend. “Please can you two get along for five minutes?”
Millie and James didn't answer. They just kept staring into each others eyes, willing to attack the other if given the chance.
“Millie, why don't you go get something to eat,” Kyle told her.  “James, we'll leave you alone, that way you can finish working. Okay.” He slid Millie out of the room and closed the door.
Millie didn't take her eyes off the door. She was willing to attack. She would of broke the door and attacked James. She was imaging ways to kill the man. She hated him so much.
“Millie, forget about it,” Kyle told her.
“Forget about it? He wasn't there.”
“Millie, just calm down.... Okay breath.”
“You breath.” Millie walked away, mad. She was stuck in a house with someone who she hated.


Stina walked into the living room. She sat down on the couch and turned on the plasma screen TV which Tom had put into the house. He knew that they didn't have any TV so he bought a cable box, a TV, and VCR/DVD player along with a Blue-Ray player in the living room. Stina flipped through the channels until she found something that was good to watch.
Lacy walked into the room and sat down next to Stina. “Well, Millie and Kyle should be there by now.” She sighed.


Shawn walked into the bookstore to grab something when he heard the door open. “Sorry we're closed.”
“I'm here for revenge.”
Shawn recognized the voice. He didn't have to turn around to know that Christina was standing behind him. “Sorry we don't have that book, but if you come back tomorrow and we might have it then.”
Christina was mad. “I'M NOT HERE FOR A BOOK!”
Shawn turned to face her. “Well, then go to the video store.”
Christina was turning red from anger. She ran to attack Shawn, but he moved out of the way and she ran into a bookshelf.
“Oops. My bad.” Shawn hurried out of the door. He had to tell the others.

Millie and Kyle stood outside of the council hall. They were waiting to go in. “I want to know why....That sun of a....”
“Whoa, Millie.” Kyle kind of laughed. “The language.... And if you think about it.... He's your....”
“Don't say it. James is dead to me.”
“Oh.... So you were talking to a “dead” guy today?”
“Yep.”
Leada walked out of the council room and over to Millie and Kyle.  “We're ready for you two.”
Millie sighed. “Of course.”
They all walked into the council room.

Anger Towards the Council

Millie stood in the middle of the room. James was sitting in a chair, which was behind a desk, right in front of Millie. There were four other wolves who sat behind desk on both sides of James. James sat at a higher desk than the rest to show that he was the head of the wolf council.
A woman with blonde hair, which was in a bun, stood up. She wore small and skinny glasses. Her clothes shown that she was a strong, independent worker. She looked at Millie. People would think that she was a cold hearted person by the way she looked, but she was actually one of the nicest people that anyone could meet. Her bangs fell in front of her face. She acted strict for her job but when she wasn't working she would relax and tell jokes. “Millie, the leader of the wolf pack from Westfield, Massachusetts, are you aware of why you're here?” she asked, her Kentucky accent had revealed it's self in her speech.
Millie eyed James. She asked him why she was there but he wouldn't answer her. “No.”
The woman looked at James.
“Go ahead, Colla,” he told the woman. He kept his eyes on Millie.
Colla looked at some papers on her table and then looked at Millie.
“You are here for changing the wolf code without letting the council know. For doing so, you are going to need to let us know why you did this without clearing it with us?”
Millie rolled her eyes. She was ticked off. She shouldn't of told them.  She was steaming mad and was about to explode. “I'm in trouble?” she asked. “Just because I changed the code without permission? That code was 50 years older than him.” She pointed to James. “This man,” she said, still pointing to James and looking at everyone in the room, “is a traitor and he's the head of the council. He betrayed us. He betrayed his own kind....”
Kyle sank to the floor, embarrassed because Millie was making a scene. He stayed close to the wall which was in the shadows. He didn't want anyone to know that he was embarrassed.
“I didn't change the code for me. I changed it for my pack.... Go ahead and remove me.... I don't care.” Millie brought her attention back to James. She had to say something to this man before she decided to walk out. “And I want you to think about this.... What kind of person doesn't go to their own brother's funeral?” she glared at him then stormed out of the room.
When everything was safe, Kyle stood up and walked in the middle of the room. He kind of laughed to lighten up the mood. “So.... How was your Christmas?” he asked.
