Chapter 1 – The Problem

"Sam? Sam?" I heard someone whisper next to me. I kept my eyes closed tightly hoping whoever it was would just leave. But they didn't. "Sam? Sam?" All went quiet. The room around me fell with silence. I breathed out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding. Finally they left me alone. I went to turn over in bed but was interrupted when freezing cold liquid fell on to my body and left my skin and bed wet and uncomfortable. My eyes instantly shot open when the liquid hit me, not from the coldness but from the shock.

My eyes instantly fell on the culprits, Seth and Quil. They were both stood over my bed grinning wildly at their successful attempt at getting me out of bed. I looked at them with my best glare. Their smirks quickly fell from their faces and were replaced with a look of pure terror. Quil was the quickest to react and ran out of the room; he was followed by Seth only seconds after. I shook my head and pushed away the covers before standing up and stretching my sleepy muscles.

I groaned as I made my way to the bathroom. I had spent most of the previous night on patrol with Jared. It wasn't like the patrol was action filled and took up all my energy, quite the opposite actually. We did nothing; we stood around, ran for a while, and came home. I shouldn't complain, I am the one that ordered my pack to keep patrolling our land but sometimes the lack of sleep can really cause me to disagree with my own plans.

I freshened myself for the day ahead by taking a quick shower and dressing into clean shorts. I could hear the rowdy guys down stairs and tried to hurry, as I can never be sure when a fight breaks out with those guys. You see the boys tend to lose their temper at times and although I have taught them well on how to control themselves, they still have their accidents- accidents that damage most of my possessions in the house.

I took the stairs two at a time as I heard another smash coming from the living room. Anyone else would have laughed if they saw the sight that was in front of me now but I was far from amused. Leah, a small petite woman, had Quil, a six foot muscled man, in a head lock. Leah's pretty features were twisted into a terrifying expression that only gave away hatred. The rest of my pack was sitting around laughing at the scene in front of them.

"I swear to god-" Leah's sentence came to a standstill as I cleared my throat to let them know I was now present. Leah's head shot up and so did most of the guy's. I raised an eyebrow at her and gave her a deadly look. She rolled her eyes and dropped her grip on Quil. He fell to the floor gasping for breath.

"Leah you need to sort that anger out of yours!" Quil gasped out in between taking deep breaths. Leah slumped down on to the couch and turned her attention to what was playing on the TV. I shook my head and walked out of the room and towards the kitchen to get something to eat.

Leah and Quil were constantly at each other's throats, it was unbelievable how much they argued, and it would always be about something stupid. If it wasn't for the outrages, fighting, and arguing between the two, they would be a normal couple. That's right, Quil and Leah are together and sometimes they are all sweet and cute, like normal couples, but that is rare. They are madly in love- no one can deny the chemistry between the two. Just the look in their eyes shows that much. That's what imprint does to you, it makes you fall in love with your soul mate, no matter how much you don't want to.

I, myself, don't have any experience with that. I haven't imprinted yet and to be honest I don't think I want to. I have too many responsibilities already without adding more! I'm not the only one that hasn't yet because it is a very rare occasion for a wolf to imprint on the person they are destined to be with forever. It's a shock that four out of my eight wolves have imprinted; I don't expect any more too.

Quil and Leah have imprinted on each other, which is the only explanation for their weird relationship. Jared and Jacob have also imprinted on two amazing girls, Kim and Nessie. Their relationships are different compared to Quil and Leah's- they can't stand to be away from each other and crave each other's attention every time they are close. It's quite sickening really but I am extremely happy for them all.

I quickly whipped up some breakfast for myself and cleaned up the mess that the others had left. Anyone would have thought that they lived here with how much time they spent eating my food and watching my TV. I quickly shoved the food down my throat before walking back into the living room, hoping that it was still in one piece. To my relief it was but I knew never to let my guard down and always be prepared for a fight to break out.

I collapsed onto one of the spare seats and looked around at all of my friends. They were all gazing at the TV with a lack of interest showing on their faces. "So can I ask why you are all here?" I asked as I picked up the TV remote and clicked it off.

"Bored!" Embry sighed dramatically from his space on the couch.

"You got me out of bed to tell me you were bored?" I glared at them all.

"No Embry is just being an ass." Leah told me. "Billy told us to meet him here. Apparently there is something he needs to talk to us about"

I glanced over to Jacob, who was sat on the floor with Nessie in his lap. "I haven't got a clue what it's about Sam; he wants to tell us all together. It's serious though, he seemed.... I don't know ...slightly nervous and jumpy." He shrugged and tightened his grip on Nessie. I knew what he was thinking. If Billy was nervous we all should be. It takes a lot to make that strong and calm man show weakness. Something bad is going to or is happening.

"Do you think the vampires are back?" Seth asked. He didn't look one bit nervous or scared, that's what I admire about Seth he is always so strong and gives it his all, even though he is the youngest and therefore the smallest. He always gets on with his job and respects us all.

"I don't think so. Well, I hope not, we don't need more trouble." Vampires are our enemy and every so often some of them will move into our area or Forks because of how cloudy and small it is. Some of them fight when we tell them to leave, but some respect our wishes and go. Very few, however, leave in one piece. Thanks to Paul.

Paul is the pack member with the least amount of self control and the most amount of anger. He is so full of fury due to the death of both his mother and father only a few years ago. They were both murdered on the way to dinner in Port Angeles, a vampire killed them both. If it was up to Paul, we would kill every leech that crosses our path, but I disagree. If they have the intention of hurting our people, we attack; if not they have the right to go without been harmed. Paul wants them all dead.

"There's a chance though." Paul added. I didn't disagree with him and neither did anyone else. He was right after all. There is a chance, a huge chance that more vampires were here, or some have returned for a fight, but Billy never got nervous about those types of things. He kept his cool and never showed fear. I think that was because he holds no fear of leeches.

Billy was at my house in no time, along with Harry and Quil Senior. They all looked anxious and concerned. Harry is Leah and Seth's father. He was also the man that took me and my mother, Sue, in when my father up and left my mother as she was recovering from cancer. Harry's wife died giving birth to Seth and he had been lonely with just Leah and Seth. My mum and Harry provided each other with comfort, and have been together ever since.

Quil Senior is Quil's grandfather, and also the oldest remaining wolf in La Push. He doesn't phase anymore as he wants to become old with his loved one, Linda.

"Right. I have some bad and utter devastating news" Billy mumbled. Everyone in the room was silently waiting for him to continue. "A company has gained planning permission to knock down most of the La Push woods to build a huge office block" My jaw dropped. No, how could this happen? I shuddered as a picture of a huge building replacing the woods that surrounded our homes. The room was filled with silence and I knew that the others were thinking the exact same thing as me. No one would have guessed this. None of us would have ever thought that anything like this would happen.

"What organization is building there?" Seth asked calmly but I could see his anger boiling.

"Swan enterprises" Billy spat out in disgust.

I had heard of that company before; but where from? Seth must have thought the same because he spoke. "Who?"

"It's a housing development organization that's making billions of dollars from destroying land to build places that will make money for them. They mainly build completely over the top homes that nobody with a normal household income can afford. " Leah told us. Her arms were shaking but they stopped when Quil wrapped his arm around her waist. "I heard on the news that they were expanding their business but never thought it would be here."

Everyone went quite and I instantly new why the once calm Billy was freaking out. We may be able to protect our homes and people from vampires but what about a billion dollar construction company that wants to wipe out half of La Push? We don't stand a chance.

"What are we going to do?" Seth asked.

Everyone around the room looked at me expectantly. I frowned because in all honesty I didn't have a clue.
