As Karmen and Aisha finished their vows of lifelong devotion and togetherness, the hall erupted in applause.
Karmen pulled Aisha closer, tilting her back for a kiss. From the front row, Gabriel let out a sharp, joyful whistle that drew laughter from the surrounding crowd.
Some time later, the guests migrated to the grand dining hall for the reception dinner. Amidst the movement and chatter, Dominick and Juniper quietly excused themselves, stepping away from the main gathering to find a moment of solitude.
Juniper stood near the edge of the terrace, holding a glass of champagne. She looked out at the lights of the hall before turning to Dominick.
"Jeniva, your new mate, seems strong," she remarked. "And I can see you have grown; you are treating your woman much better than before."
Dominick frowned slightly at her comment. It wasn't like he never treated her well but then, if Juniper felt that with him, he decided to accept it instead of retorting.
