Chapter 274 Fireworks Over the River
Leslie’s POV
We strolled leisurely onto the small bridge at the center.

The air was filled with a quiet romance, the kind of intoxicating case that only moments like this could bring.
I leaned my elbow against the railing, gazing at the rippling river as the night breeze brushed against my cheeks.
Kirby said nothing, only watched me. I could feel the almost greedy weight of his gaze, like an invisible closing in around me.
<i>This </i><i>wolf </i><i>is </i><i>plotting </i><i>more </i><i>sweet </i><i>talk </i><i>again</i><i>, </i>Asphodel warned inside me.
Sure enough, he broke the silence with a smile.
“Compared to you, anyone else ying the violin is trash.”
I didn’t respond, but in my heart, I thought, <i>Is </i><i>this </i><i>lunatic </i><i>incapable </i><i>of </i><i>not </i><i>stirring </i><i>trouble </i><i>for </i><i>even </i><i>a </i>
<i>minute</i>?
“I just suddenly want to give you all the good things in this world…”
Is he ever going to <i>stop</i><i>? </i>
I snapped my head back, frowning, ready to cut short his clumsy act–when suddenly, the dark night sky behind him burst open with a giant firework.
One after another, blooms of color exploded, red, violet, and gold, bursting like stars scattering across the heavens. They slowly cascaded down like meteors into the Seren River, breathtaking in their brilliance<i>. </i>
I stood in awe. Half the sky above the river became a garden of radiant umbres, dazzling against the darkness.
With the fireworks as his backdrop, Kirby sat alone in his wheelchair. Yet there was no weakness in him–he didn’t even turn to look at the spectacle. His eyes were fixed on me, growing gentler and warmer, so tender it felt as though he might melt mepletely.
“Do you like it?” he asked quietly.
My chest jolted. “You arranged this?”

But this was abroad, not Central City in the Western Territory, Crimson Moon Pack shouldn’t have that kind of reach here.
Such a grand fireworks show would undoubtedly need the cooperation of a local Pack.
How could Kirby have managed it?
For a moment, doubt flickered through me. Could it be…?
Kirby smiled, about to answer–when a tall, sharp figure approached,
It was Adler.
He smiled, shattering the fragile, ambiguous air. “Today’s the local Moon Festival. We’re lucky, The fireworks are 3D projections–realistic, aren’t they?”
I turned, my eyes lighting up. “What a coincidence?”
Adler nodded. “Yes. There are more celebrations down the way. Alpha Lars and Eren already went over. Do you want to join them?”
“Of course!” I answered instantly.
Relief flooded through me. So none of this had been Kirby’s doing–it was just coincidence.
That was afort.
I knew it. How could he evere up with something so cheesy and cute?
Buying jewels and showering money–that was more his style.
I turned, ready to wheel Kirby down, but Adler stepped forward, taking hold of the chair.
His voice was warm and pleasant. “Go ahead, Alpha Lars is looking for you. I’ll handle things
here”
Without a second thought, I happily ran off
Shane, who had been trailing behind us, followed right after, and Mch gave Kirby a look. Once he had Kirby’s silent consent, he too went along.
