When Dawn Breaks 54

“Hello Sam, Jared, Paul.” Rosalie greeted the three wolves as they entered the house with their bags. Rosalie had been receiving visitors all day and the wolves were the last ones to show up. She had only seen Bella at breakfast and before she had left after the sun went down to go buy the equipment they needed.They had left so late because Emmett wanted to go and Bella was nice enough to take him. Rosalie had hoped to get a chance to see her mate more but Bella had been doing research and teaching the shifters what they needed to know to go with her.

“Hello Rosalie, thank you for inviting us.” Sam cleared his throat getting the attention of the other two with him.

“What, oh yeah, thank you Rosalie for inviting us.” Jared said.

“This house is sick. Does it have a pool?” Paul asked.

Sam rolled his eyes. “I’m sorry Rosalie.”

“It’s alright and yes it does have a pool. It has a lot amenities that you are more than welcome to enjoy while you are here.” Rosalie understood their enthusiasm. It was the same as the other shifters and even her and her family’s when they first got to the estate.

Jared gave Paul a high five.”I told you this was going to be fun.”

“I want to say it won’t be once we get to work but from the reaction of the others it seems like everyone is going to have a good time.”Rosalie motioned for them to follow her. “I want to apologize because we don’t have enough rooms for everyone. We purchased mattresses and put them in the ballroom. So you will have to bunk with others. The one shining light is that we have 15 guest bathrooms so you won’t have to share just one and there will be plenty of hot water to take showers.”

“We don’t mind where you put us.We are just happy that we are able to help with something so important.”Sam said.

“This definitely qualifies as important. From the research we have done this situation could effect every shifter in the world.” Rosalie told him.

“Do we know who we are dealing with yet?”Sam asked.”You were somewhat vague on the phone.”

“We are dealing with vampires who are trying to make artificial shifters.” Rosalie wasn’t shocked by the look of outrage on the wolves’ faces.

“Why would someone want to do that?” Paul demanded.

“Easy, Rosalie is not the enemy.” Sam scolded.

“It’s alright Sam.” Rosalie assured him. “I’m not offended. It was the same way I reacted when Bella told me about it. Hell it’s the same reaction everyone has had when we told them about it.”

“I’m sorry I am just shocked.” Paul told her.

“Like I said it’s alright. To answer your question they are trying to make super soldiers. The reason they have been kidnapping the children is because they are trying to figure out exactly what makes you guys shift.”Rosalie explained.

“And you said vampires are behind this?” Sam asked.

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, vampires are using humans to be the face of their companies to bring in not only money to fund the experiments but they are making weapons at a few of these legal facilities as well.”

“How are we going to get the vampires that are behind this?” Paul asked.

“Bella is now buying equipment to help us with surveillance. We need you guys to follow the humans and plant bugs and trackers on their vehicles and in their offices and houses if we are able. My siblings can’t help for obvious reasons and Bella and myself are to recognizable so we are no use.” Rosalie explained.

“Wait we are going to be spies?” Jared asked excitedly.

Rosalie chuckled. “Basically. We need to get all the people involved and we don’t know who they are yet. We haven’t even figured out who the vampires are. Bella gave us some names for the vampires but they are most likely fake as we can’t find any evidence that they actually exist.”

“I now understand why you needed so many people.”Paul murmured.

“The unknowns are also why we only asked for shifters. Bella and myself were hoping that you three would be willing to do some training with the other shifters. Jasper and Charolette were going to offer but the other shifters aren’t really comfortable around vampires.” Rosalie told him.

“We would be happy to help. The training we received from you guys has been invaluable.” Sam said.

“Thank you.” Rosalie decided that now was a good idea to feel out what Sam would think of her and Bella’s plan for their house.”There was also another thing myself and Bella wanted to talk to you about.”

“What would that be?” Sam asked.

“Well Bella and I have decided to buy some land and build our own home.We want to do this in or as close to Forks as we can and we need someone to do the actual building.We were hoping that we could hire your tribe to do the work.” Rosalie explained.

Sam frowned. “We would be more than honored to build a house for the White Tiger but we don’t have the equipment and the certifications necessary to do it.”

“That’s something else Bella and I wanted to talk to you about. We want to speak with you and the elders about investing in a construction company that would be owned and run by your tribe.” Rosalie knew she should wait to tell them but she was to excited about the idea to keep it from them.

“You want to invest in a Quilette owned construction company?”Sam asked in disbelief.

Rosalie nodded.” After discussing it we figured it would be better to have someone we trusted to build our house. As you are friends of ours we decided that if you would allow us we would buy all the tools and equipment you need plus offer extra money for whatever schooling or certifications you would need in the future.”

“I don’t know if we could accept such a generous offer.” Sam said.

“It’s not for free. We would of course expect at least some kind of discount on your fees for building the house.” Rosalie told him.

“Sam accept it.” Jared urged.

“Yeah Sam do you know how great this would be for us.” Paul agreed.

Sam was silent for a minute before he spoke. “I will talk to the elders and get their opinion but if you are willing we will gladly take your offer.”

“Great. Bella has people she will get you in touch with that will not only be able to help you set up your business but can help with running it once you get going.You won’t be alone in this. Bella and I will be there to support you the whole way.” Rosalie promised.

“Thank you Rosalie and please thank the White Tiger for us as well.”Sam said.

“Let’s get you guys settle and get something to eat before we get everyone together.Bella should be back soon. Then we can officially introduce you to the others.” Rosalie said wanting to take the attention away from Sam. The proud man was obviously emotional and Rosalie knew that he wouldn’t want anyone to see him vulnerable. She was just happy it seemed that they would accept their help. Rosalie wasn’t kidding when she said they wanted someone they could trust build their house. Rosalie wanted it to be a sanctuary for Bella to be able to walk around in her tiger whenever she wanted. That meant that some custom rooms would have to be built and Rosalie didn’t want to have to explain to humans why they wanted them.It would be much easier dealing with shifters. She couldn’t wait for Bella to get home so she could share the great news because Rosalie knew her mate was just as excited about getting their house built as she was.
