Paul was on patrol and it had been a pretty quiet day even went as far as stalking a deer just for the hell of it but he'd never admit to anyone. As he made his way to the border that separated them from the Cullens he began to pace up and down the stream. That's when he heard Jake's howl. It was nothing new though because with Jake running his own pack now it was normal to hear him call for them. But it killed him. Paul wanted to know what was up but Sam always told him to leave it alone. Though now that he thought about it, Sam didn't issue it as an offical Alpha order. Grinning Paul left his post which he knew he was going to get heat for later but he didn't care this was too big to pass up.
Padding through the woods it wasn't long before he found the pack of all huddled around its leader. If he had any hopes of seeing what the fuss was about he'd have to go on about it unnoticed. Re-positioning himself down wind so they wouldn't catch his scent Paul watched. Slowly the pack began to split in pairs of two he couldn't hear the reasoning behind it and that frustrated him a bit. Then it hit him the pack was pairing as to get a better jump on Ryder and the Cullens should they protest it had to be why else would Jake have called the meeting and split his pack in an obvious battle strategy. Finally, this was the moment he was waiting for and he'd have to report back to Sam.
Paul took off running back in the direction of the reservation heading towards Sam and Emily's place. It wasn't until he emerged from the woods that he shifted back.

Sam kissed Emily goodbye and headed out the door to run his patrols when he watched Paul shift back and put his cut offs on. By the look on his face, something had happened. Something was eating at him and he just hoped it wasn't any more Cullen talk. He spoke to Jacob about it all and felt confident that any issues would be ran through the proper channels.
"Hey Paul, how was patrol? Pick up anything?"

His head dropped a little he knew what needed to be done once he delivered the news "I was at the border when I heard Jacob call for his pack I figured i'd go check it out and when I did I saw the six of them huddled together and then split into pairs of two. Sam it's Ryder it has to be" the words were flying out of his mouth a mile a minute trying to keep his head on straight

"Now, just calm down Paul." His words came flying out his mouth so fast he had to wrinkle his brow in confusion as he listened. When he mentioned Ryder, Sam turned his head to the direction of Jacob's territory and narrowed his eyes. Could it be, and he didn't say anything. Turning back to face Paul he looked at him with his Alpha tone. "Are you 100% positive?"

"I'm pretty sure" was his reply. "What else could it be besides the half breed baby going rogue and attacking someone. Sam we need to do something about this." The idea of the thing feeding off some poor innocent human made Paul sick to his stomach. He expressed a deep hatred for the leeches regardless of the countless times he'd stood beside them with the pack though like he had a choice.

He moved his hands down as he spoke. "Okay, okay, calm down. I'll handle it. Jacob assured me if anything were to happen he'd tell me about it. It's the Alpha code, Jacob wouldn't betray us." He sighed heavily and hoped his words were true. "As your Alpha, do not do anything until I give the order. Understood?" His words were strong and deep as he gave his Alpha tone.

"Understood" Sam didn't want him to do anything so he wasn't not anything crazy anyway. He knew he had to do something and the only way to do it was to ask. "Sam let me follow Jake a bit do some recon and find out what's going on. You know how much he loves his precious Cullens you really think he's gonna tell you if something happened? I promise I'll stay outta sight and I'll report back to you promptly"

Sam didn't know what he should do, spy on a brother and his pack or trust that Jacob would keep his word. Telling Paul no would only make him do the opposite. Maybe it would add piece of mind for Paul to see there was no threat and he was wrong. Cutting his eyes to Paul's with a hard stare, "You keep your distance. And I want to know about everything. The minute your suspicions are denied you fall back and let them be. Do not get caught and this talk never happened." He couldn't be too sure, he had people to protect. He had a duty.

"You have my word" Paul nodded "The minute I find out i was wrong I'll back off and the minuted I find out I was right I'll come straight to you" he was stoaked he was getting what he wanted but at the same time leery of what he might find. What if he was right what if Ryder had hurt an innocent. The pack had a responsibility to its people even if it meant having to go against their brothers to serve and protect.

Sam gave Paul a nod once and looked towards the house where he'd left Emily. "Get back to your patrol." Turning back to face him he watched Paul nod and job back into the woods. 'Damn Jacob, be wrong.' He muttered under his breath, hoping this was not coming to a war. All he wanted was peace, all he wanted was to finally Marry Emily and start a family. Was that so much to ask?
