Gabe's POV

I trudged down the hallway, exhaustion weighing me down. The family dinner had been a disaster. Rosaline's outburst still echoed in my mind.

As Alpha, I couldn't show weakness. But as a father, I felt helpless. My family was fracturing, and I didn't know how to mend it.

I stopped outside Rosaline's room, taking a deep breath. Time to put on my Alpha face.

I knocked softly, and Rosaline's muffled voice bid me enter.

I opened the door to find Rosaline sitting on her bed, her eyes red-rimmed from crying. Camilla was nowhere to be seen, but I sensed she'd been here recently.

"Hey, kiddo," I said gently, sitting beside her.

Rosaline looked up, her gaze searching mine. "I'm sorry, Dad."

I pulled her into a hug. "No apologies necessary. We'll work through this."

But Rosaline's words spilled out, a torrent of emotion. "It's just... Lucien's always talking, thinking about Krisdana. And April's hiding something. And Camilla's always defending them."

I listened attentively, my Alpha i

"Hey, son," I said gently, taking a seat beside him.Lucien looked up, his gaze searching mine. "Dad, I know what this is about.""Rosaline told me about Krisdana," I began. "What's going on, Lucien? Is it true? Are you dating her?"Lucien's expression transformed, a soft smile spreading across his face. "Krisdana... she's different, Dad. She really likes me."My brow furrowed. "Likes you? Rosaline said Krisdana's a bully, that she's been tormenting our family."Lucien shook his head. "That's not true, Dad. Krisdana's just... misunderstood. She's been through a lot."I studied Lucien's fa

Why did she make me promise to keep her secret?April, my favorite aunt, the one person who truly understood me. And now... now she's hiding a monstrous secret. Drug addiction. I couldn't believe it.I paced back and forth in my room, anger and helplessness swirling inside me. April's plea echoed in my mind: "Please, Camilla, don't tell anyone. I'll handle it."Handle it? She's not handling it! She's drowning in it!I thought about all the times April cancelled plans at the last minute, all the times she seemed distant or preoccupied. It all made sense now.But why did she make me promise to keep quiet? Didn't she trust Mom and Dad to help her?I stopped pacing and collapsed onto my bed, burying my face in my pillow. This wasn't just about April's secret; it was about our family's dynamics. We're always so perfect, so put-together. But now... now I see the cracks.April's

She fidgeted with her hands, avoiding eye contact."April, look at me," I said softly.She lifted her gaze, vulnerability etched on her face."I never begged to be a drug addict, Camilla," April began, her voice cracking. "It just... sort of happened."I nodded, encouraging her to continue."I was stressed, overwhelmed. Life felt suffocating. And then... I tried it. Just once, I told myself. But once became twice, and twice became..." April's voice trailed off.I took her hand, offering a gentle squeeze. "You're not alone, April. We'll get through this together."April's eyes welled up with tears. "I'm so ashamed, Camilla. I've let everyone down.""No, April, you haven't," I countered. "We love you, no matter what. And we'll support you through this."April sniffled, wiping away tears. "I feel like I've lost control. Like I'm drowning."I listened intently, my heart aching for he

"No one in the family knows yet, and we need to get her help."Rosaline's expression turns concerned. "Cam, think about how that will affect April. Don't you think it'll break her heart?"I take a deep breath. "April's heart is already broken because of her addiction. This is the only way to heal it."Rosaline's eyes fill with empathy. "I understand your intentions, but are you sure this is the right approach?""I've thought it through," I assure her. "We can't keep enabling her secrecy."Rosaline nods slowly. "If you truly feel what you're about to do is right, then who am I to stop you?"She pauses, collecting her thoughts."But promise me one thing: be gentle. April's fragile right now.""I will," I promise. "I just want to help her."Rosaline's voice is soft. "I know, Cam. We all do."Rosaline's expres
