Leslie’s POV
In the end, the four of us marched into the restaurant together.

Mch had already reserved the ce–an elegant hall with dim lighting, the entire floor sealed off by Kirby.
Around us, dreamlike 3D projections shimmered, a gxy of stars twinkling as though we were dining inside the Milky Way itself. Romantic, dazzling.
It would have been perfect–if not for little Eren.
At least, that was clearly Kirby’s thought.
Shane took a seat at a nearby table.
Eren nted himself firmly between Kirby and me, clinging like a tiny bodyguard.
Kirby lifted a bouquet of blue lilies flown in from Hond, his voice low and smooth. “These are for you.”
Before I could respond, Eren puffed up indignantly and jumped to his feet.
“Muse likes big chrysanthemums!”
I nearly choked. No, I did not. But the seriousness in his eyes made it impossible to crush his pride.
Kirby’s eyelid twitched. He stared at the cub with a look of cold disbelief.
“Children shouldn’t meddle.”
But Eren’s blue eyes glistened with unshed tears as he looked to me. “Muse, you won’t take them, right?”
My heart melted.
<i>“</i>Of course not. Sister loves chrysanthemums most of all.”
I shot Kirby an apologetic nce. He could only set the lilies aside, helpless.
Eren’s face lit up, his smile bending into a crescent moon. Then he fished into his pocket, pulled out a handful, and set them before me.

Chapter 265 Diamonds and Sulking
“Muse, I was in such a rush, I couldn’t buy you flowers. So I brought these instead.”
My breath caught.
Diamonds.
Raw, uncut diamonds, each one heavy, glinting cold fire beneath the restaurant lights.
Eren rubbed his hands together, beaming. “I have lots more. Do you like them? Girls like sparkly things, right?”
I stared at the little wolf, speechless.
“You should take these back. Sister can’t ept them.”

He squirmed, clutching my hand in protest. “Don’t you like them? I’ve got even bigger ones!”
I sighed. There was no reasoning with a child.
Smiling, I gathered them up. “I do like them. But next time, don’t bring these again.”
I’d simply return them to Adler the next time I saw him.
Eren, satisfied, grinned and tilted his head toward Kirby, openly challenging. <b>“</b>I’ll listen to Muse. A real man shouldn’t be stingy, don’t you think?”
The air around Kirby plummeted. His lips pressed into a hard line, mint pheromones dropping the temperature like a frost.
When the food arrived, I happily served a slice of venison to Eren.
His blue eyes sparkled, little fangs shing as he bit in with delight. His fruity scent bubbled with joy, infectiously bright, and I couldn’t help butugh with him.
<i>The </i><i>cub </i><b><i>has </i></b><i>more </i><i>charm </i><i>than </i><i>some </i><i>grown </i><i>wolves</i>, Asphodel muttered in amusement.
And it was true. Around children–especially sweet ones like Eren, who brought me diamonds -I always had patience.
Across from us, Kirby sat silent as an iceberg.
His mint pheromones grew colder and colder, a winter storm creeping through the starlit restaurant. His gaze never left me and the boy, ck eyes dark enough to swallow everything.
My chest tightened, but I kept my face smooth, chatting with Eren as if nothing were wrong.
Atst, Kirby broke. His voice rumbled low, taut with displeasure. “Leslie, I’m not happy.”

The air thickened, his pheromones pressing down with Alpha possession.

I arched a brow, nced at Eren, then smiled, voice light and teasing. “Don’t say it. We’re having too much fun right now.”
<b>I </b>stretched the words deliberately, my pinewood scent steady, mocking.
Why ruin the mood?
Kirby faltered, his aura snagging, a trace of helplessness bleeding through the chill.
Eren onlyughed louder, his eyes glittering like victory.
I smothered my grin, thinking how close Kirby must be to exploding.
