Chapter 78

“It is your duty, Donal, to be to Alexei a considerate, tender, faithful, and loving husband, to support and cherish him in prosperity and trouble. To give him counsel and help him to bear his burdens with grace, to comfort him in need and rejoice with him in plenty—to love him as your Mate for all eternity. Do you do as I say?srdquo;

“I do.” Donal gave Alexei a wide smile.

“You may exchange rings.”

Alexei took the rings from Armand that he had taken off their fingers no more than an hour ago. He gave the larger one to Donal, and Donal slipped it on his finger. He slid the smaller ring onto Donal’s finger, and they both raised their eyes to Justice Albert.

“I now pronounce you spouses. May the gods look on this union with loving intentions and may our Alpha and Alpha Mate live in happiness for the rest of their days.”

“Here, here,” shouted Etienne.
