All Chapters of Torned (The Alpha's Secret Babies): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Gabe's POV I took a deep breath, thinking about my next move. I needed to talk to Emma, to tell her that I wanted to be a part of the kids' lives. 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

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. I should

Emma's POV I'm still in shock as I guide the kids back inside, my mind reeling with their sudden decision to stay with Gabe. I didn't see it coming, didn't think they'd ever choose him over me.But as I look at their faces, I see the determination and excitement there, and my heart swells with happiness. They want to stay with their father, and that's what matters most.I take a deep breath, trying to process my emotions. I'm happy for them, happy that they've found a connection with Gabe. But a part of me is still scared, still worried that he'll let them down again.As we walk into the kitchen, Gabe is standing there, his eyes fixed on us. He looks like he's in shock too, like he can't believe his luck.I smile at him, trying to reassure him. "They want to stay with you," I say, my voice barely above a whisper.Gabe nods, his eyes filling with tears. "Thank you," he says, his voice gruff with emotion. "Thank you for giving me a second chance."I nod, feeling a sense of peace wash o

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

Carly's POVI couldn't help but giggle as Luca and I pulled away from each other, our lips swollen from the intense makeout session. We were hiding in my room, trying to keep our budding relationship a secret from the rest of the pack.But as we caught our breath, I heard the unmistakable sound of shattering glass. My heart sank as I realized we had accidentally knocked over a vase, and it had fallen to the floor."Oops," Luca whispered, his eyes sparkling with mischief.I rolled my eyes, trying to stifle a laugh. "Great, just what we need. Emma's going to kill us."Sure enough, I heard Emma's voice outside my door, asking if everything was okay. Luca and I exchanged a nervous glance, both of us thinking the same thing: had we been caught?We both froze, holding our breath as Emma hesitated outside the door. For a moment, it seemed like she might come in, but then she seemed to think better of it and walked away.Luca and I let out a sigh of relief, looking at each other like we were
