***This is the sequel to both What Lies Ahead and Growing Up Volturi. It is not necesarry to have read these stories first.***

Growing Up Volturi: After the almost war with the Volturi at the end of Breaking Dawn, Aro’s curiosity and desire to have hybrids in his guard leads him to Mexico City to find Nahuel’s sisters and father. Nahuel’s younger sister Antonia, a powerful telepath even as a baby, is only a year old when she arrives in Italy and is raised by her sister Hunter and Aro. She joins the guard when she is six, but soon becomes unhappy with the direction her life is heading in as a member of the elite guard and Aro’s executioner. Nahuel goes to the Volturi to start another war with the Cullen’s and during this fight for her survival she is imprinted on by Sam’s half sister, Rasika. Rasika was born and raised in London after her father left Sam’s mother. He left her mother soon after he found out about her pregnancy. At sixteen Rasika’s adopted father and mother moved her family to Toronto. When she was nineteen a nomadic vampire in Toronto prompted her transformation into a wolf. She survived as a wolf for thirteen years before she found the Quileutes.

In What Lies Ahead, Renesmee Cullen discovered the magic of imprinting and through many ups and down of a life filled with secrets, she came to terms about her feelings for Jacob. When a threat from the Volturi came the family was thrown into turmoil and forced once again to face the Volturi in a fight.  With the Volturi not taking no for an answer, the family was forced to set their one final plan into action.  They sent Nessie and Jacob to Florida, safely out of harm’s way.  While settling into life with her grandmother, Renee, Nessie received the news that three of her friends were killed in battle.  Guilt and sadness transformed her into someone that she could no longer recognize, and she suppressed anything involving the past.  All she ever wanted was to return home to her family and friends, but when the call came she was too distraught to face them, sending Jacob on the journey home alone.

STORY ON HOLD UNTIL SEPTEMBER.  PLEASE FORGIVE ME!  I'M IN MY LAST MONTH OF COLLEGE & I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH IT ALL!   

Based on a true story:  Bella Swan is swept into a life with her sister (Alice) & her friends, a group that Chief Swan & Renee despise.  When life gets in the way she misses her chance to be with Edward Cullen.  The man she falls back on turns out to be an abusive alcoholic & drug addict.  Someone doesn't make it out alive.  Will Bella have her happy ending?

Summary: When I first caught her scent, I turned my wanting into hate. Later, as my cold yet sparkling hand touched her warm flesh, sunlight streamed through the trees making her skin glow as golden as the sun. Bella was an immortal. It was the day that secrets were spilled and lives changed forever. I had at last found a reason for my eternal life, someone who understood my pain.

This is my version of Eclipse as told from Edward's point of view. It is the sequel to Moonless Night - if you haven't had a chance to read it, please check it out!

Adopted at birth, Cassie's life is suddenly and irrevocably altered by the notification of her birth mother's death. Her journey to La Push, Washington and reunion with her brothers pulls her into a world of secrets and tribal legends that shatters her reality. Lost in a world of monsters, Cassie must rely on the strength of her family and the love of Jacob Black to help her uncover her destiny.  

This is an AU set after BD.  In my universe Jacob did not and will not imprint on Nessie.  I have tried to keep everything else as close to canon as possible.  Enjoy!

For Renesmee Carlie Cullen, reaching maturity meant more than a defined physical completion.  Mental astuteness began at the moment of creation.  With her body finally catching up, it was imperative for her to advance to her next lunar phase.  Three unanswered questions were slowing progression to the peace she so desperately needed.  Who was she?  What could she do?  What was her purpose?  She needed to make a difficult choice between two appealing options.  Being a half-breed was never about even sides.  She wasn’t 50% vampire or 50% human.  Both were dueling for control.  Which would win? Her gift, while simplistic in nature, offered something more than the ability to give.  To explore, she would also need to learn how to take.  Was she strong enough to use it in reverse?  Please join Renesmee in a journey to self-realization, where finding amity means accepting fate and understanding that the light she holds inside herself not only shines brightly enough to free her but the entire world.  Will she disperse the darkness, or will it consume her?

The Cullens celebrate the reason for the season.

Claire Young had known Quil Ateara for years. He was like an older brother to her. But one day, she learns that he is more than that, that she means much more to him. Will Claire be able to live with her tribe’s secret, or will Quil turn into her personal nightmare?

The NM-AU you’ve never read before! Edward breaks up with Bella, but he doesn’t leave town. Alice has seen that in order for Bella to move on, she must see him move on. Will they ever find their way back together?

An unlikely alliance forged between Caius, Jane and Maria seeks to destroy the Cullen family. Each of the three takes hostages during a fierce, surprise attack. Only Jasper and Nessie are left as witnesses. Nessie seeks out the only people who can truly help find her family, the wolfpack.

More than willing to help once again, the wolfpack forges an even deeper alliance with the Cullens as they all begin to consider themselves to be truly...friends.

Told from many different POVs.

Aggression; a common behavior when finding a mate. Possession; a common desire when claiming a mate. Imprinting... well this one's a little new to Jacob Black. But he'll experience them all when he imprints on a taken she-wolf...

Cambria and her pack come from California, on the run from their old Alpha and trying to make a new beginning, but that's difficult when you have no money and nowhere to stay. After making their own judgments, and speaking with the elders, the packs in La Push welcome the Californians, providing them with food and shelter in exchange for covering patrols. Xander is the beta of the stray pack, and has been Cambria’s comfort through their journey, helping her cope after the ordeal back in Santa Carla. But the sudden interest Jacob Black has in her leaves him itching with jealousy and full of unreleased tension.

Meanwhile, Leah seems to have a new skip in her step as she connects with Sloan, a quiet, mysterious wolf who may turn out to be just what she needed to get over Sam Uley.

But a forthcoming danger will stop at nothing to meddle with the lives of all these shifters, the trustworthy Cullens possibly being the only alliance the wolves will have when the battle comes...
