All Chapters of Torned (The Alpha's Secret Babies): Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Gabe's POVAs the laughter died down, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over me. This was everything I'd always wanted - my kids happy, carefree, and connected to me.But as I looked around the room, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was missing. Emma.It was strange without her. I'd always wanted to connect with my kids, to be the father they deserved. And now, here I was, experiencing that connection, but it felt incomplete without Emma by my side.I remembered the countless times we'd shared moments like these, the laughter, the joy, the sense of family. Emma had always been the glue that held us together, and without her, everything felt slightly off-kilter.I pushed the thoughts aside, not wanting to ruin the moment. But as I looked at my kids, I knew I couldn't ignore the elephant in the room. Emma's absence was felt deeply, and I knew I needed to find a way to address it.For now, though, I just smiled, trying to savor the moment, imperfect as i

Camilla's POV I stood at my locker, exchanging pleasantries with Rosaline and Lucien. But my mind was elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of April.Her behavior earlier had left me unsettled. The lies, the evasions...something was wrong, and I couldn't shake the feeling.Rosaline nodded along, her eyes glazing over as she responded to my questions. Her mind was clearly elsewhere, lost in thoughts I couldn't begin to decipher.Lucien's gaze drifted over my shoulder, his eyes fixed on someone behind me. I followed his gaze, but saw nothing out of the ordinary."Hey, how's it going?" Lucien asked, his voice distracted."Yeah, good," I replied, going through the motions.Rosaline murmured something incoherent, her thoughts still a million miles away.I couldn't help but wonder what was going on with my friends. April's secrets, Rosaline's distant thoughts, Lucien's mysterious gaze...it all added up to a sense of unease I couldn't shake.As we parted ways to head to our next class, I couldn't

Rosaline's POVI stood on the sidelines, watching Lucien play ball with his friends. His laughter and shouts filled the air, a stark contrast to the tension that had been building inside me.As I scanned the sports complex, my eyes landed on Krisdana, lounging by the vending machines, sipping on a soda. Her eyes sparkled with malice as she chatted with her friends.This was the perfect opportunity. Lucien was distracted, and Camilla was nowhere to be seen, probably spreading laughter and joy wherever she went.I took a deep breath and made my way towards Krisdana, my heart pounding in my chest. It was time to confront her.As I approached, Krisdana's eyes flicked towards me, a smirk spreading across her face. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here."I stood tall, my voice firm. "Krisdana, we need to talk."Krisdana raised an eyebrow. "Oh, this should be good. What's on your mind, Rosaline?"I clenched my fists, trying to keep my cool. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. Your

Lucien's POVI lay in the sick bay, feeling defeated. The confrontation with Rosaline had left me drained.At least Krisdana wasn't angry with me. Her apology and concern had been genuine.But Rosaline... my own sister. I could still see the disappointment in her eyes, the hurt and anger.I had never seen her like that before. It was like I had betrayed her.Camilla's expression had been just as disappointing. She had tried to stay neutral, but I could tell she was upset with me too.I felt like I was losing everyone. Rosaline, Camilla... what about Mum?I couldn't bear the thought of disappointing her too.I closed my eyes, feeling tears prick at the corners. Why did everything have to be so complicated?Krisdana's face flashed in my mind. Her fearless character, her apology... she was the only one who didn't seem to be angry with me.But even that brought me guilt. I felt like I was caught between two worlds, two girls... two sisters.I didn't know what to do. All I knew was that I

Gabe's POVI watched my pack interact, my eyes scanning the room. As a mate and father, I'd learned to notice the subtlest changes in dynamics.Tonight, the tension was palpable.Camilla's eyes narrowed whenever April spoke. Rosaline and Lucien barely exchanged a word, their usual banter absent. Carly and Augustine seemed disconnected, their conversations stilted.My mind whirled with questions. What was bothering Camilla? Was it April's recent success? And what had caused the rift between Rosaline and Lucien?I glanced at Emma, my wife, wondering if she'd noticed. Her expression was concerned, but she hadn't intervened yet.As the evening drew to a close, I decided to have a talk with Emma."Hey, can I steal you for a minute?" I asked, guiding her into our study.Emma closed the door behind us. "What's on your mind?""I've noticed some...tensions tonight," I began.Emma nodded. "I saw it too. Between Camilla and April, and Rosaline and Lucien.""And Carly and Augustine," I added.Emm
