But it shouldn’t affect your enjoyment of the story too much if you have this knowledge via canon, I hope.
Not at all! The thing I enjoy most with suspense stories is trying to figure out what’s going to happen next; especially when they aren’t finished and regularly update, like yours. If I didn’t know this from canon, then I wouldn’t have anything to speculate on. This goes for all stories that at all derive from canon in some form. It’s also fun to see what characteristics authors keep or change, in most characters.
I of course really really like your Bella, even though, in my opinion, she had some trouble balancing her very dangerous ambitions with her sugary-sweet family life, inevitably ending in disaster for both. Although, with the way things were going for the Volturi, it wouldn’t have been long until they swooped in and destroyed that family life to put the family witches in their prison.
I’m very curious about the state of Aro’s witchcraft after recent delves into Adelaide’s memory, too. Did he know about the Quileute tribe before Irina went and told them, or did he have that information stored away but not processed yet? I’m guessing it’s the latter, since he immediately acted when Irina requested their help. Can you provide some insight into that Alicorn, if not publicly then in a private message?
My guess is that he did know, but considering that the Cullen coven believed the gene to be dead (they did, right?), he thought it unimportant at the time. That all changed when Irina proved them very wrong, of course.

I think there’s enough clues in the text that I can just say outright: yeah, Aro had werewolf-related information stored but not processed before the story began. Irina a) prompted him to process it and b) informed him that it was relevant in the present.

No. They believed there were no active werewolves (and they were right until Bella went in and shook hands with everybody), but had no reason to believe that the gene had died out.
I’ve hinted but not confirmed. (But it shouldn’t affect your enjoyment of the story too much if you have this knowledge via canon, I hope.)
