Gabe's POV

As I watched Emma walk away, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. She was leaving, and I couldn't blame her. I had rejected her kids, my own flesh and blood. I didn't deserve her.

But still, it hurt to see her go. I had grown accustomed to her presence, her smile, her laughter. The thought of being without her was unbearable.

I slumped down on the couch, feeling defeated. I had messed up so badly. I had let my own fears and doubts get the best of me, and now I was paying the price.

Emma came back into the room, her eyes red from crying. "I have to go," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat. "I know," I said, my voice cracking. "I don't want you to go, but I know you have to."

Emma smiled weakly and came over to me. "I'll always love you, Gabe," she said, her voice filled with emotion.

I stood up, pulling her into my arms. "I'll always love you too, Emma," I replied, holding her tight. "I'm so sorry for everything. I w

And I needed to talk to the kids themselves, to tell them the truth about who I was.I stood up, feeling a sense of determination. I was going to do this, no matter how scary it was."Thanks, April," I said, smiling at her. "I'll go talk to Emma now."April nodded, her eyes shining with encouragement. "Good luck, Gabe. You got this."I walked out of the room, feeling a sense of purpose. I was going to be a dad, and I was going to be a good one.I arrived at Emma's room, my heart racing with anticipation. I knocked softly on the door, and when she didn't answer, I let myself in.The room was quiet, the only sound the soft breathing of the kids asleep on the bed. Emma was sitting in a chair beside them, her eyes closed, a gentle smile on her face.I stood there for a moment, watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful, so beautiful. I felt a

Lucien asked, looking curious."It's about your father," I said, taking a deep breath.Rosaline's eyes widened. "We have a father?"I nodded. "Yes, you do. His name is Gabe, and he's a good man."Camilla's face lit up. "Tell us more!"I smiled. "Well, Gabe and I met a long time ago, and we... um... fell in love. But we lost touch, and I didn't know how to find him. But now he's back, and he wants to be a part of your lives."Lucien's eyes narrowed. "Why did he leave in the first place?"I sighed. "It's complicated, sweetie. But he's sorry for leaving, and he wants to make it up to you all."Rosaline asked, "What's he like?""He's kind, funny, and smart. You'll really like him," I said, smiling.Camilla asked, "Does he have a job?""Yes, he does. He's the Alpha," I replied.Lucien asked, "Can we meet him?"I nodded. "Soon, I promise.

    Gabe's POV As I watched Emma follow the kids outside, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was already failing. The kids seemed hesitant around me, and Lucien's skepticism was palpable. I wondered if they would ever truly accept me as their father.As I stood there, lost in thought, I couldn't help but think that this was all a mistake. The kids would never fully accept me, and they would choose to go back to New York with their mother. The thought stung, and I felt a pang of regret for inserting myself into their lives.I glanced out the window, watching as Emma laughed and played with the kids. They seemed so happy together, and I felt like an outsider looking in. Maybe I was fooling myself to think I could ever be a part of this family.I sighed, feeling a sense of doubt wash over me. Was I really doing the right thing? Or was I just setting myself up for heartache?I shook my head, chuckling wryly to myself. Instead of sulking, I should focus on the time I have with Emma.

    Gabe's POV I'm lying in bed, trying to sleep, but my mind is racing. I can hear footsteps outside my room, up and down the stairs, back and forth. At first, I think it's just the kids getting a glass of water or something, but then I hear it again, and again.My instincts start to kick in, and I feel a surge of protectiveness. I throw off the covers and get out of bed, trying to be quiet as I make my way to the door.I slowly turn the handle and peer out into the hallway. The coast is clear. I can see Emma's shadowy figure moving around downstairs, but everything seems fine.I breathe a sigh of relief and rub my eyes. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Maybe it's just Emma making sure the kids are okay.I go back to bed, trying to shake off the feeling of unease. But I can't shake the feeling that something's off. I lie there, listening to the creaks and groans of the house, my ears straining for any sign of trouble.But everything is quiet. The footsteps have stopped, and the house is s

    Emma's POVI couldn't shake off the feeling that the kids were slowly drifting away from me. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but the signs were becoming harder to ignore. Lucien would often suggest they give me space, saying "Maybe we should get to know dad a little better, let's leave mom alone for a bit." Rosaline would claim she needed quiet time to read her novel, but I'd catch her scrolling through her phone instead. And Camilla... oh, Camilla would just laugh and vanish into thin air, leaving me wondering what I'd done wrong.It started with little things. They'd forget to include me in their plans, or "accidentally" leave me out of their conversations. I felt like I was losing my connection with them, like I was becoming an outsider in my own family.One day, I decided to confront Lucien about it. "Hey, sweetie, can we talk?" I asked, trying to sound casual.He looked up from his book, a hint of wariness in his eyes. "What's up, mom?""It's just... I feel like y

I replied.Camilla hesitated, looking at her siblings before speaking. "We've been talking, and we think it would be better if dad took us to school from now on."I was taken aback, not expecting this. "What? Why do you think that?"Lucien and Rosaline nodded in agreement, and Camilla continued, "We just think it would be more fun with dad, and you can have some time to yourself."I was surprised, but also a little hurt. Didn't they want to spend time with me anymore?Just then, Gabe walked into the room, overhearing the conversation. His face lit up with a shocked and happy expression. "Really, kids? You want me to take you to school?"The triplets nodded in unison, and
