Chapter 22: 13 Years 1
"Hahaha, Edward, you're killing me with laughter. I told you, Tanya, it would be better to tell Paul about it. Edward couldn't resist," said Kate, laughing uncontrollably.
Edward was confused when he saw Kate laughing so hard that she even rolled on the floor. He was worried, and even though he knew it could be bad for him, he revealed that he tried to read Paul's mind to warn Tanya that she might be in danger.
But now Kate seemed to be laughing at him for making that decision. Edward became irritated and looked at Tanya, who also seemed disappointed with him for some reason.
"Edward, we already know about Paul's powers. He trusted us and told us about it years ago. But I can't talk about it because it's his secret, and he may not trust you guys," said Tanya, seeing that Edward seemed upset.
Edward was surprised to learn that Paul had told Tanya about his powers. Special powers for vampires were rare, so normally a vampire would keep this secret and only tell close friends or family.
The Cullen family trusted other vampires like the Denali Coven because Edward could read their minds and knew they were trustworthy. That's why the Denali coven knew about the powers of the Cullen family's vampires.
But since Paul had some kind of power that could protect his mind, he shouldn't be able to read the minds of the Denali coven's vampires. He had only been living with them for less than 10 years when he told Tanya about his powers.
Of course, Edward didn't know that even though Paul couldn't read the minds of the Denali coven's vampires, he knew their personalities well from reading books and knew he could trust them, just as Paul trusted the Cullens.
"I understand, so Paul told you about his powers, but I still don't understand why Kate is laughing at me," said Edward.
Kate is laughing at you because when Paul told us about his powers, we promised to keep it a secret for him, but Kate said you would try to read his mind and find out that you couldn't. Said Tanya.
"I told Kate that you wouldn't do that, after all, you promised not to read our minds when we found out about your powers, but you said that as soon as you arrived, you tried to read Paul's mind," said Tanya, looking disappointed.
"I apologize for doing that, Tanya, but I try to keep my promise as much as possible, so I didn't know that you knew about Paul's powers, I didn't try to read your memories about it," said Edward.
Edward was telling the truth, even when he read Irina's mind about what she felt for Paul, he only tried to find out what she felt, not other information about him.
"Besides, I didn't make that promise with Paul, he was a stranger, so I used my powers on him, if I could see that he was trustworthy, I wouldn't have said anything about him," said Edward.
Tanya and Kate didn't talk about this subject anymore, they were all vampires who had lived for many years, only Edward could control his powers and no one would know if he was telling the truth or lying.
Only Carlisle and Edward's family still tried to warn him that it was wrong to read the minds of others, Tanya and Kate wouldn't try to teach Edward about it and knew they couldn't do anything but trust that Edward wouldn't read their minds.
Edward felt relieved knowing that Paul had told the Denali coven about his powers, maybe when Paul joined the Cullens, he could trust them and tell them about his powers too.
Edward had heard that maybe in 12 years or more, Paul would live with their family, as he had already warned Tanya about Paul, Edward could trust Paul more after he lived these additional 12 years with the Denali coven.
After all, Edward knew that since Alice was in love with Paul, he would probably become a permanent part of their family, so Edward wanted to make sure that Paul was trustworthy before that happened.
Tanya and Kate didn't tell the Cullens or the vampires from the Denali coven about the conversation they had with Edward. It was better to keep this conversation a secret, especially since Tanya could see that Edward was worried about her family.
After some more time, the Cullens left the Denali coven's house. Alice was sad to leave, and even more so because Rosalie and Edythe kept watching her so she couldn't talk to Paul.
Rosalie took Emmett shortly after they met since Emmett was dying and Carlisle turned him into a vampire. But Edythe, who took some time to win over Jasper, knew how dangerous a vampire in love could be.
Edythe, who was asocial, started trying to win Jasper over in various ways and seemed more aggressive than Rosalie normally was. Edythe remembered feeling like she needed to prove her love for Jasper several times while talking to him.
Fortunately for Edythe, Jasper could share her feelings with his powers, and it didn't take long for him to agree to live with the Cullens. But if Alice did that with Paul, who was with Irina, the friendship between the two families could end.
Alice said she wouldn't do that, but Edythe and Rosalie noticed the way Alice looked whenever she was near Paul. Irina also noticed this, but fortunately, she only thought that Alice found Paul attractive and didn't know that Alice was in love with him.
Paul had also noticed this and was sure that Alice was in love with him. After living with the Cullens for a few weeks, Paul also realized that he might feel something for Alice.
But Paul tried to suppress these feelings. He was with Irina now, and even though he thought he would probably end that relationship with her after leaving the Denali coven, he still had to respect Irina.
Paul felt that maybe after moving into the Cullens' house, he could see if his feelings for Alice were true, and if Alice also liked him, they could start a relationship, but that would only be after 12 years.
With these thoughts, time began to pass faster in Paul's vampire life. He still did various things to avoid getting bored and started learning to play more instruments in his apartment near the university.
