Finding love (in the most unlikely place), fighting for it, and then losing it would take some time to heal from obviously. If at all. Not to mention he’ll feel like he put his family in danger for ultimately no reason… Why must you hurt him so??

I like to imagine a scenario where, in his devastation, he leaves his family for awhile. Wandering. Searching for answers he doesn’t know the questions to yet.

Eventually, somewhere along his journey, just when he’s missing his family and their love the most, he crosses paths with a nomad. A nomad also blending in with the humans around them. (Playing violin, maybe? I just know they’re musical, too. That’s what begins the draw.) This nomad is musical, and creative, and innovative. Quiet, yet witty. Adventurous, yet anxious. Thoughtful. Moody. Strong. And they treat humans with a genuine compassion he’s only seen within his own family.

But this nomad has secrets. A power. Edward also can’t read their mind. (I like that he gets peace with whoever his mate is so i’m unabashedly keeping that.) And this nomad, realizing they’re drawn to this golden eyed boy, tells him to stay away from them. That they’re more dangerous than he realizes…

Soon it’s discovered they’ve been running from someone, and now they’re both in danger because Edward won’t leave them. And their love grows on this journey. Until the secrets are revealed. One being their “father” is Aro of the Volturi. They were turned for their potential power, but Aro also saw the connection Carlisle had just by being a family so he tried to mimic it. Edward’s nomad mate was too much like Carlisle to accept their fate, however, and so hated what they had turned into. They fled. Not only that, they detested this Carlisle Cullen and his family for putting this idea into Aro’s head to begin with, an idea which made him take their human life from them…

Forbidden love chaos ensues.
