Torned (The Alpha's Secret Babies) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Emma's POVI woke up to the darkness of the night, my mind still foggy from sleep. But I knew I had to get up. I had promised Gabe we would talk, and I couldn't avoid it any longer.I tossed off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed, my feet dangling in the air. The clock on my nightstand read 2:47 AM.With a sigh, I stood up and padded out of the bedroom, my bare feet making barely a sound on the cold floor.The house was quiet, the only sound the creaking of the old wooden floorboards beneath my feet.I made my way to the living room, where I knew Gabe would be waiting for me.As I entered the room, I saw him sitting on the couch, his eyes fixed on me in the dim light."Hey," he said softly, his voice low and husky.I nodded, feeling a surge of tiredness. "Hey."Gabe patted the couch beside him, and I hesitated for a moment before sitting down.We sat in silence for a moment, the only sound the ticking of the clock on the wall.Finally, Gabe spoke up, his voice break

Rosaline's POVI walked through the school hallways, feeling a sense of peace I hadn't experienced in a long time. Everything seemed to be falling into place.My siblings, Camilla and Lucien, were doing great, and our parents, Gabe and Emma, were finally getting along again. The tension at home had dissipated, and we could finally breathe a sigh of relief.As triplets, we'd always been close, but lately, it felt like we were inseparable. Camilla's bubbly personality, Lucien's calm demeanor, and my own organizational skills made us a formidable team.But despite the harmony, a faint unease lingered in the back of my mind. Mum and Dad had been acting strange lately, whispering in huddles and exchanging worried glances.I pushed the thought aside, focusing on the positive. Today was good. Today was normal.As I turned a corner, I spotted Lucien leaning against his locker, chatting with friends. Camilla was nowhere to be seen, but I knew she was around somewhere, spreading her infectious

Gabe's POVI sat at my desk, sifting through papers and attending to my alpha duties. The door opened, and Luca entered, his usual composed demeanor replaced by a nervous energy.At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but as the days passed, I noticed a pattern. Luca would come to my office, citing trivial reasons like needing to use the restroom or asking about mundane tasks. But his actions seemed forced, and his eyes betrayed a hint of anxiety.I couldn't shake the feeling that Luca was hiding something. He'd always been calm and collected, but now he seemed...off. His usual confidence was replaced by fidgeting and an air of unease.I made a mental note to keep a closer eye on him. What was driving this change in behavior? And what was he really after?Luca fidgeted, avoiding eye contact. "Gabe, please excuse me. I need to...get a bottle of water." He stuttered. My instincts screamed at me to follow him. Something wasn't right.I trailed behind Luca, careful not to be see

Emma's POVAs I stepped into the kitchen, the warm aroma of freshly baked cookies enveloped me, but my attention was drawn to a scene that made my heart ache. Camila and April were laughing and joking together, their faces radiant with joy. It was as if they were long-lost friends, not just Aunty and Girl. They were like Mother and daughter. Camila's eyes sparkled as April playfully tousled her hair, and April's carefree giggle filled the air. I felt a pang of insecurity, watching their effortless bond. It was hard to admit, but I'd always struggled to connect with Camila like that.April, on the other hand, seemed to have a natural talent for it. She was always there for my children, listening, guiding, and loving them unconditionally. I, however, was often absent, lost in my own world.As I observed the tender moment between Camila and April, a wave of sadness washed over me. Why couldn't I be the one making my daughter laugh like that? Why did it feel like my children were closer

Emma's POVAugustine's gentle prodding broke down my defenses. I took a deep breath and let it all spill out."It's just... everything has fallen apart, Augustine. One stupid incident, and my whole life has turned upside down."Augustine's expression turned sympathetic. "What incident, Emma? What happened?"I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something about Augustine's kind eyes put me at ease."It's just... Rosaline's Father-Daughter Day, and she didn't want me there. And Lucien... he won't even talk to me. And Gabe... he's always taking their side."Augustine listened attentively, his nodding encouraging me to continue."I feel like I've lost my family, Augustine. Like I'm a stranger in my own home."Augustine's face reflected his understanding. "It sounds like a perfect storm of hurt and misunderstanding."I sniffled, feeling a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, I wasn't alone in this.Augustine's expression turned somber, his eyes clouding over. "Emma, I understand what
