Chapter 25: Family Relief

As the chaos of Bella's birthday party subsided, Alice and Rosalie approached Charlie, their expressions grave yet filled with compassion. They knew that it was time to reveal the truth about their family's nature, no matter how difficult it might be.

"Charlie, we need to talk," Alice began, her voice gentle yet filled with urgency. "About what we are."

Charlie's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Alice and Rosalie, his mind racing with disbelief. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice trembling with uncertainty.

Taking a deep breath, Rosalie stepped forward, her eyes meeting Charlie's with a sense of determination. "We're vampires, Charlie," she said, her voice steady yet filled with sadness. "We're not like other people."

As the truth began to sink in, Charlie felt a wave of shock wash over him. Vampires—real vampires—standing before him in the flesh. It was almost too much to comprehend.

But before he could respond, Alice spoke up, her voice filled with urgency. "And there's something else, Charlie," she said, her eyes locking with his. "I had a vision of your mate."

Charlie's heart skipped a beat at Alice's words, his mind reeling with the implications of what she was saying. His mate—someone out there in the world who was meant for him, who would complete him in ways he couldn't even begin to imagine.

As he struggled to process this new revelation, Charlie felt a comforting presence at his side. Turning, he saw Theo and Jasper sitting together on the couch, their bodies intertwined in a gesture of comfort and support.

Without thinking, Charlie reached out to Theo and Jasper, pulling them into a tight embrace. In that moment, surrounded by his newfound family, Charlie felt a sense of peace wash over him—a feeling of belonging and acceptance that he had never known before.
