The newborns and Victoria herself first encountered the wolves when they came to attack the Cullens in Eclipse and I believe the wolves’ existence was a surprise to them. Irina, who was in love with Laurent, later followed his path to Forks, probably to look for him, and that’s when she first saw Renesmee, which led to her reporting the Cullens to the Volturi.Īs for Victoria, I believe Laurent stayed in touch with her, and went to check on the Cullens on her behalf after James was killed, but I think the wolves were a complete surprise and they killed him so quickly that he wouldn’t have had time to tell the Denalis or Victoria about the existence of the wolves. My own recollection without doing research–which is what would be required to find the real answer–is that Laurent just disappeared after he left the Denalis. I’m curious what made you think that, as I might be forgetting a particular reference that you’ve found.

This is a great question and I’ve been puzzling over it since I read your comment yesterday.
