Rowen is the elder more methodical and calculating half sister of Isabella swan.
While Bella was whisked away to live with her mom Reneé. Rowen stayed with her father in forks. She wasn't one to be easily held down.
That is until she meets her mate...
-Power isn't control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own-

Bella's wedding was tomorrow and currently, and she was at the Cullen's house breaking into her new heels, watching as benches were placed side by side. She was eager and excited to see her sister again, she was sure Rowen received the invitation but the closer it got to Bella's wedding and with no show from her sister she couldn't help but feel defeated.
"Bella! This came for you..." Esme held out a pristine white envelope. Bella took it in her hands, thanking Esme as she did so. She turned it over to see the Volturi crest indented in the wax seal. The rest of the Cullens stopped what they were doing, coming over to Bella with divided curiosity. Edward rushed to his future wife's side, eyeing up the envelope like it would explode any moment. Bella tore through the seal, pulling the letter from the envelope. Bella's chocolate brown eyes which she had inherited from Charlie scanned the inky words.
'To, miss Isabella Marie swan.
It is with sadness that the queen is unable to attend your wedding as other matters require her attention. She wished you all the happiness in the world going into this marriage. The union has brought the crown great joy and the queen is particularly passionate about the purity of one's love for their partner. The Queen sends her regards to the Cullens on their new family member, it brings her grace and great pride to see the covens flourish under her rule.
'Everybody is equally weak on the inside, just that some present their ruins as new castles and become kings'
With sincerity, The Queen's advisor.'
"She couldn't write me herself?" Bella wondered aloud, the annoyance from her sister's absence creeping up into her tone. Edward ran a comforting hand down Bella's back, Carlisle held out his hand for the letter his face scrunched up in frustration as he read the words.
"What is it, Carlisle?" Edward asked, his voice nervous and low. Carlisle shook his head, his dirty blonde hair falling over his eyes.
"It's a warning..." He announced, before passing Bella the letter.
"It doesn't seem very threatening." She spoke, going over the words on the paper again wondering if she had missed something.
"In the clearing, she said that 'the enemies are the ones you want to keep close' who was she talking about?" Rosalie's voice echoed out, she had hoped to see the queen again, she was hauntingly powerful and rose adored the woman.
"Herself." Edward murmured, everyone's eyes snapped to him.
"She knows about our treaty with the pack... she took it as an insult to our oaths and the crown." Bella looked at Edward who fidgeted uncomfortably with Carlisle's words as did the rest of the family. "I don't get it." She spoke, and Edward's eyes darted between her and Carlisle.
