"You didn’t sleep beside me last night. Why?" Juniper’s voice carried a note of irritation the moment she opened her eyes.
Dominick didn’t answer. He stood by the cupboard, methodically pulling out his clothes, refusing to meet her gaze.
"Don’t ignore me, Dominick," she snapped, sitting up in bed. "I’m asking you something. Why did you leave in the middle of the night?"
He paused, his hand tightening slightly around the fabric before he spoke. "Because I have no intention of becoming a husband to you anymore. Also, I have nothing to say to you, June. So, don’t waste your time, or mine."
"Are you blaming me for everything that happened? Why do you always see it as my fault?" Juniper demanded, her voice rising.
Dominick froze, then slammed the wardrobe door shut. He turned sharply to face her, anger flashing in his eyes. "Do you even remember what you said to me last night? Did you take a moment to think about those words?" His voice shook with restrained fury. "Ask yourself, June, why do you love me? Is it for who I am... or for my rank?"
"I said nothing wrong!" Juniper shot back. "Zilia deserves to be exposed. You were going to reject me because of her! How could I forget that?"
"And what business is her past to you?" Dominick’s tone grew harsher. "I don’t want to be the next Alpha King. Casaio deserves the throne, and if not him, then Gabriel. Do you understand that? So stop, just stop doing things that will destroy both of us." He tightened his grip on the clothes from the bed as his knuckles turned white.
"Nick, you’re such a pathetic fool," Juniper hissed. "I didn’t marry you just because you’re an alpha prince. I love you. But you need to wake up and see the future. You can’t live like Casaio’s obedient dog forever! He’ll always control you. And you think Gabriel if becomes the Alpha King will ever favor you and your decisions! He only sees Amelie and her filthy son—"
"June!" Dominick roared, his fury finally breaking free. "Shut up! Just shut your mouth!" He stepped closer, trembling with rage. "How could you say something so vile about a baby? Have you lost your mind?"
He turned away. "I’m done with you, June. Don’t talk to me again."
With that, he simply walked out of the bedroom, leaving Juniper infuriated.
"Nick, don’t force me for something I don’t want to do," Juniper muttered. She grabbed her phone and wrote a message in her group. "If you can’t give me what I desire, I will show you the destruction of this family," she mumbled with evil intention.

"Did you speak with June?" Raidan asked, carrying a trace of concern as he sipped his morning tea.
"Yes," Mabel replied. "I spoke with her yesterday."
Raidan set his cup down with a soft clink, his brows knitting together. "This should never have happened. Dominick and Casaio are equally at fault, deciding to marry on the same day without consulting anyone. It was a reckless decision."
"Indeed," Mabel agreed. She glanced toward Lester, who stood silently nearby. "Bring Casaio and Dominick to the garden. Summon Juniper as well."
