Question
I'm writing a fic and I'm trying to find out if there is a consensus concerning some werewolf lore: In Eclipse, Jacob says that Sam became a werewolf before Bella came to town and then he continues telling the story about how Leah got dumped for Emily. My question is, in the timeline, when did Sam imprint on Emily? Was it definitely before Bella came to town? Or is there a little wiggle room as to when it all happened?
