^ Hmmmm... I never thought of that either. If Edward HAD met the previous pack 70 some years ago... then he should have had an inkling of pack dynamics. I know... Edward just didn't bother to read their minds! THAT was just a joke... of course he read their minds. Maybe since the pack was so small (3 members) is didn't compare to the much larger modern pack. And there was much going on with the modern pack... the guys were falling in love, finding mates, and imprinting on females... even four year olds. I think the things that Edward saw in the modern pack's minds fascinated him... and probably repulsed him a bit too. I know that the pack members don't take advantage or get 'physical' with the underage females they imprint upon.... but it is a weird concept. But none of this explains HOW Edward knew that the pack were actually shape shifters. The only thing I can think of is that Edward knew what true Children of the Moon werewolves were like... and the tribe pack did not match them at all. And perhaps he had come across other shapeshifters in his life time. But this also does not explain Edward's complete ignorance of the pack tribe. In Twilight and Eclipse he knew almost NOTHING about them. He didn't even realize that vampires were the cause for the pack to begin to shift. So this will remain a mystery. Unless Meyer comes up with a logical reason for it.... or rewrite Breaking Dawn from Edward's perspective. But don't hold your breath... it's just going to remain a dead end.... just like the movie version of Alice's visions... the vision she had in the movie version of BDII should have been impossible. Again, Meyer creates rules... then breaks them.
