Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 798

"Forgive us, Your Highness!" the reporters cried out, their voices overlapping in a desperate chorus.

These were the same individuals who had relentlessly published defamatory articles about Juniper over the past few weeks, fueling the public's scrutiny.

"It was a mistake! Please, don't send us to prison for this," a second reporter pleaded, clutching his hands as if it could protect him.

Following his lead, the remaining ten began begging for mercy, their previous arrogance replaced by terror of being imprisoned.

"You all will be imprisoned," Dominick stated. "It was made very clear during my divorce that not a single word about me or my ex-wife was to be published. Instead, the twelve of you took a royal command lightly. Is this how you choose to affect the life of a person who has already endured a terrible phase of their existence?"

He stepped closer, his presence looming over them. "Your forgiveness wouldn't bring Juniper's peace back. The pain you inflicted on her won't simply disappear because you are sorry now. That is why a three-year prison term for all of you is necessary. It is a price for the reputation you tried to destroy."

Dominick turned his back on them, his expression hardened. "Evan, call the guards. Take all of them to the prison immediately."

As the guards entered and began hauling the reporters away. Dominick looked out the window of his study. He knew this wouldn't fix the distance between him and Juniper, but he would ensure that the world finally learned to leave her name out of their mouths.

"Nick, I will inform Juniper about this," Evan said.

"Why? That's not needed," Dominick told him, his voice flat. "She doesn't need to know anything about this. Just tell me, have the videos that tarnished her been removed? And grab those content creators too. I won't spare anyone who profited from her pain."

"The team is on it. They will be captured soon," Evan replied.

"And what about the hunter who was sent to harm Jeniva? Any information on the person who hired him?" Dominick inquired, his eyes narrowing.

"Burner phones were used to mask the trail. Though we did get a lead, we need to confirm it first. Ross is already on it," Evan explained.

Dominick felt a slight relief hearing that. "You did a great job. You can leave now."

Evan bowed and walked out of the study, the heavy palace doors clicking shut behind him.

'What is bothering you?' Black, his wolf, asked from within.

'Everything I did to June,' Dominick replied silently. 'From the moment we got married. Even before that... I wasn't entirely devoted to her. I didn't want to see her truth, and that's why she never felt she could tell me. The faults lie with me. I chose to ignore them until it was too late.'

His wolf remained quiet as Dominick contemplated on his mistakes.

Juniper scrolled through her phone, checking for a good restaurant when she stumbled upon one with a 4.7-star rating and over 100,000 reviews. The photographs showed a cozy, bamboo wooden structure that gave it a warm, inviting aesthetic even from the outside.

"I think this place will be nice for us, and it's right in the heart of the city," Juniper murmured, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

She finally stood up from the lobby chair, tucked her phone into her purse, and smoothed out her clothes.

She sent the address to Denzel and stepped out of the building to hail a taxi.

Because of the traffic, it took her too long to reach there but thankfully she was on time. Still ten minutes had left for the clock to hit sharp seven in the evening.

Walking in, she found the restaurant was bustling, every table occupied by diners chatting over steaming plates.

"Can I get a table for two?" she asked at the counter. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
