“You’re also ban from all pack related activities until I say otherwise,” Colin added.
    Samantha whipped around, “What?” She exclaimed in shock.
    “Dad! That isn’t fair!” Riley protested.  Colin shot him a warning glance and he quieted down, looking down at his feet.
    “Is that understood, youngling?” Colin asked in a harsh voice.
    Samantha’s nostrils flared, eyeing the pack who quietly watched, “Fine…” Samantha grumbled.  She turned and stormed off towards her home, without waiting for her aunt to follow.
     

 
    CHAPTER 3
     
    Samantha awoke to the sound of birds chirping.  She groaned and rolled over to look at her clock.  It was seven in the morning, and on a Saturday no less.  She curled up in a tight ball and pulled her pillows over her head in aggravation.
    “Damn birds…” She growled to herself.  She hadn’t slept well the night before, her anxiety about meeting with the Head Alpha and bad dreams about her parent’s untimely death had kept her up.  She sighed, she almost forgot about the meeting with the Head.  She buried her face in her sheets and closed her eyes, forcing herself to fall back to sleep.  She had begun to drift into a light slumber when Melody knocked on her door and stepped inside without waiting for a response.  Samantha peered at her from under her pillow.
    “Your meeting with Colin and the Head is at nine, dear,” Melody muttered softly.
    Samantha sighed and sat up, “Alright, I’m getting up…” she grumbled.
    “Good, I’m making pancakes, you better eat before you leave,” Melody prompted before leaving the room.
    Samantha slowly got out of bed and went into her bathroom.  She was often very thankful that she had her own bathroom and could take as long as she wanted getting ready.  She brushed her teeth, then got in the shower.  After cleaning up she stepped out and wrapped herself in a towel and washed her face with an anti-acne scrub.  Thirty minutes later she was walking down the stairs to get breakfast.  Melody already had a plate made for Samantha, and she sat down and ate in silence.
    At eight twenty Colin pulled up in front of the house and Samantha went outside, getting in the car.  Much to her relief Riley was sitting in the car, as well as Alex.  Samantha smiled at them and Riley gently touched her arm.  Samantha buckled her seat belt and Colin pulled away from the house, without saying a word.
    The almost forty minute drive to the Head’s mansion was completely silent.  Colin gave off the impression that he was still incredibly angry and Samantha, Riley and Alex were not about to say something that could potential make him even more upset with only ten minutes left before the meeting.  Colin took the turn onto the road that lead out of town.  The road was long and winding, with many dirt roads and trails branching off from the main one.  Half way down the road Colin took a sharp left turn onto one of the dirt roads.  Trees surrounded them on either side of the road and Samantha watched out the window for signs that they were nearing the mansion.  After a few moments there was an oversized clearing with a mansion in its center, but Colin drove passed it, as well as four more houses like it before they neared a fifth clearing that he slowed down for.
    In the middle of the clearing was an enormous and glorious mansion that stood two stories high and long enough to fit at least four of Samantha’s house.  There was a long drive way leading up to a garage that was separate from the house.  The lower level of the house was made from clapboard siding that was painted an elegant looking pearly white.  Vines clung to the sides of the house, hanging low.  The covered porch wrapped around the left side of the mansion.  There was a gigantic arch over the steps that left to the porch and the front door was made entirely out of glass.  There was a huge turret extending a story over the rest of the home, on the right corner of
