I was just about to slip away from the suffocating spotlight when Astrid grabbed my arm and whispered with a mysterious look, “Leslie, I just saw Eric setting something up in secret. It looked like some kind of ceremony… and there were a ton of roses.”

I frowned. “Roses? Eric never told me anything.”

Asphodel scoffed in my mind. “That guy’s up to something again? Leslie, warn him–if he dares to lose it at your birthday party, I’ll blow a fuse.”

Astrid shrugged. “He didn’t tell Amala either. She’s the one who asked me to give you a heads- up. Probably wants to surprise you.”

I let out a cold laugh. “A surprise? If he tries anything, my dad and my brother won’t let him walk away from it.”

Before I could finish, a shout came from outside. “Fireworks!”

I turned toward the window. The night sky was ablaze with colorful bursts. Brilliant and dazzling. First in the shape of roses, then slowly shifting into the face of a woman–wavy hair, sharp brows, lips curled in a smile…

“It’s the Rogue Pack princess!” the guests exclaimed in awe.

My heart dropped.

Asphodel growled inside me. “That’s not from Kirby! He said three gifts—he’s already done. Who pulled this off?”

The fireworks lit up the whole city. In just a few minutes, the cost probably rivaled that of the Tear of the Moon Soul.

I looked toward Eric. He was standing in the distance, winking at me, surrounded by heaps of rose petals.

“Leslie, that idiot’s about to confess!” Astrid hissed under her breath.

I sneered, and my Alpha pressure spilled out without warning. “Eric, if you dare pull some stunt at my birthday party, I’ll beat the crap out of you.”

Kirby’s POV

As the fireworks exploded overhead, I stood in the corner of the banquet hall, eyes fixed on

Chapter 173 Fireworks

Leslie.

:

She was as breathtaking as ever, but her coldness cut like a blade–sharp and deep.

Lance growled in my head. “Kirby, she accepted your gifts… but her heart doesn’t belong to you anymore.”

My fists clenched. The scent of cedar leaked from me, and a few guests turned to glance in my direction.

Then the fireworks shifted–Leslie’s face took shape in the sky. The crowd gasped, and my chest tightened.

This wasn’t from me.

I’d already given her three gifts—everything I had.

So who the hell did this?

I looked around the crowd. Eric was grinning from the middle of a rose petal pile, winking at Leslie, eyes full of playful teasing.

Lance roared inside me. “That Frostfang pup dares make a move on your fated mate? Kirby, rip him to shreds!”

I swallowed my fury and stepped toward Leslie.

Her Alpha aura flared–cold and sharp like moonlit frost–her eyes locked on Eric in silent warning.

I froze. Bitterness and

rage churned in my chest.

“Leslie,” I said quietly, “the fireworks… they weren’t from me.”

“I know.”

She tossed the words over her shoulder and walked away.

I started to follow, but just as I turned, something soft bumped into me, and a splash of crimson wine soaked my jacket.

Then came a syrupy voice: “Alpha, I’m so sorry! I wasn’t watching where I was going!”
