Synopsis
What if Renesmee rejected Jacob? What if Edward resented Jacob for preventing him from being a father? What if Bella, after years of meekness and docility, suddenly became angry - and changed the shape of the supernatural world? What if the Volturi decided to call the largest gathering of vampires in 1300 years - and wants to use Bella, as a shield, to protect their entire existence?
On a visit to Brazil, Renesmee falls in love with Nahuel - and sends a brokenhearted Jacob away. While trying to deal with the fallout, placating wolf-packs, dealing with Edward's insecurities and pain, and evading Aro, Bella makes some startling realisations of her own - ones that could bring the Volturi down on her family and end their way of life forever....

I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism; as it's a work-in-progress, if there's anything you'd like to see in the story, I'm happy to add it if feasible. I'm British, so am writing in British English.)
