## Plot summary

It has been a year since Lucas Stone joined the Cullens as part of their family but he feels as if something's missing. There's also the fact how he feels left out that Cullens have something that he doesn't. Renesmee Cullen believes that the reason of Lucas's depression is because he hasn't found his mate. Lucas believes that idea to be crazy since he's not good with women. He then thinks back on Meghan Valentine, his previous girlfriend who died being run over by Justin Knox, his former tormentor. After encouragement from Renesmee, Lucas decides to try and find his mate.

Throughout the summer, the Cullens seems to enjoy helping Lucas with his mate searching for amusement. They all start school in Port Angeles where they are already receiving attention from students mostly on Lucas seeing that he and Renesmee are the only members not seen paired up like their family members.

Lucas then notices a human girl named Krystal Diamond staring at him and starts having strange feelings for her hearing from Edward Cullen how she's thinking about her. While Lucas was in his room one night doing homework, he starts thinking about Krystal when he hears a song that describes her. He then begins to realize that he's in love with her.

The next day at school, Krystal ask Lucas to have lunch with her which he accepts even if Emmett Cullen answered for him. Lucas and Krystal have together at school and got to know each other. While Krystal was on her phone talking to a friend of hers, Lucas received a warning from Alice Cullen  that Miley Ray is planning to make Krystal look bad by dumping her food on Krystal. Lucas was able to prevent that by discreetly shooting an aura sphere at her feet causing Miley to slip and fall while ending up having her food on her making Miley a laughing stock. The result of it causes Miley and her friends to kidnap Krystal beating her up but were caught by Lucas, Edward, Bella Swan and Rosalie Hale  resulting Miley and her friends to be suspended. While Krystal was being treated in the nurse's office, Lucas admits his feelings to her to which Krystal returns them.

A month later since Lucas and Krystal confessed their feelings to one another, Lucas was invited to watch Krystal play at her volleyball game and was joined by Edward, Bella, Renesmee and Jacob Black. After the game, Lucas ask Krystal out on a date. The two spend the night at La Push where they both confessed that they love each other. However, Lucas forgot to go hunt and needed to feed off an animal so he left Krystal and was able to feed off a deer but was caught by Krystal who saw it. Lucas tells Krystal he's a vampire and to his surprise, she is okay with it.

Krystal has since then know about Lucas and the Cullens as vampires and the Quileute tribe's legends. A minor shift in Miley's perspective where she suspects something different about the Cullens and tries to expose them but when she told the whole school about it no believes Miley and laughs at her and she left the school where no one has heard from her since then.

Shifting back to Lucas's perspective, Miley has been reported missing along with a few other people. The Cullens then hear the news that Krystal's father Roark Diamond was killed and because has no other family member in Forks since her mother Sapphire Diamond passed away from cancer, Krystal is to move in with her godmother in New York but Lucas wouldn't allow it being away from Krystal so he and the Cullens received approval from the principal to allow Krystal live with them as their guardians. Just as that happened, the Cullens were informed by Carlisle Cullen that Roark was killed by a vampire and someone was on the werewolves' land and Krystal's house leading that the person is after Krystal so the Cullens immediately packed Krystal's things and moved her into their home.

Two weeks later, Lucas and Krystal go with Renesmee and Jacob to La Push to hang with his pack joined by Krystal's friends. There, Carly Jensen, Nathan Dallas and Danielle Olsen were imprinted by Seth and Leah Clearwater and Embry Call respectively thus bringing them into the supernatural.

After Lucas, Krystal, Renesmee and Jacob returned home, they and the rest of the Cullens are still trying to find who is after Krystal and why along with the mysterious disappearances. Suddenly when Lucas was about to fight Emmett after an annoying inappropriate comment about him and Krystal, the Cullens suddenly see themselves on the floor with their place being destroyed and that half an hour has passed adding that Krystal is gone. After failing to find her, the Cullens received a visit from Nahuel his half brother Jonathan, along with Miley now a vampire by Jonathan, has Krystal. The reason why Jonathan is doing it is because he wants revenge against Lucas for killing Olivia, from the previous story where the Volturi told him leaving out that what Lucas did was unintentional, by Krystal so that Lucas will suffer the same way Jonathan has. The Cullens also find out that Miley sent an army of newborn vampires attacking the Cullens and then uses her mental sharp jabbing gift to knock them out. Then she finally erases their memories of the events that has happened.

The Cullens and Jacob are in Seattle where Jonathan and Miley were spotted. They spilt up to find Krystal and Lucas ends up alone. He finds Krystal with Miley and Jonathan in an abandon factory and ends up fighting the latter of the two but he was at a huge disadvantage due to Miley and Jonathan's gifts and was about to be killed by them until Krystal cuts herself so that her blood will draw Miley and Jonathan's attention for Lucas to free himself. Lucas then caused a fire in the factory and Jonathan throws Miley in it after she turned on him when Lucas tells her that Jonathan has no romantic interest in her and is only using her for his plot of revenge. Lucas was about to escape with Krystal in his arms until just when he was in the air, Jonathan yanked him down causing him to drop Krystal where she hit her head to the ground and was dead. Angered, Lucas launched himself at Jonathan where he bit into him and tore off his skin. Lucas was about to shoot an aura sphere at Jonathan to kill him only that he resisted knowing that it s not worth losing himself. Lucas returns to Krystal to see that she is still alive just as Jonathan was about to attack them when the Cullens arrived. Jonathan was soon captured and destroyed by Edward, Emmett, Bella, Jasper Hale and Jacob. With Krystal only have moments to live, Lucas changes her into a vampire and the Cullens and Jacob return.

Krystal wakes up from her transformation and Lucas takes her out for her first hunt and the Cullens celebrated for Krystal becoming a part of the family.

A year later, members of the Cullen family and Krystal graduated high school. After the party, Lucas proposes to Krystal with his mother's ring and the two of them are now engaged.

At the end of the story, there are several outtakes in the perspective of some of the Cullen members in the events of the story.
