Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Luminite Bracelet

Drystan’s POV

I clutched Astrid’s bracelet inside my hand as I left her room. As soon as I was alone in the hallway, I took another check on the bracelet once again.

For some reason, this bracelet looked so familiar. I’m just not sure where I have seen them before.

With a bracelet as expensive as this, it would be uncommon to see it just anywhere. I’m sure that I didn’t see this bracelet from Astrid before. It was from someone else, but I just couldn’t remember. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I rubbed the bracelet’s metal with my fingers and felt the weight of it on my hand to test its authenticity.

The stone on the bracelet seemed fake, but I couldn’t tell that for sure. However, the metal used in this bracelet seems strange.

If I’m not mistaken, I think the metal used here is called Luminite.

In the whole world, only the Shadowfang Pack has access to Luminite. Luminite is very rare, and aside from that the Shadowfang Pack doesn’t just release their precious metal to anyone.

It’s hard to acquire a special metal like this. If this bracelet is indeed made of Luminite, then how could Astrid’s grandmother have this and give it to her granddaughter?

Maybe I’m mistaken. Maybe this is some kind of metal that only looks like the Luminite. A lot of fake Luminites have been reported throughout the years. Maybe this is one of the fake ones and Astrid’s grandmother got scammed.

It’s too early to know for sure.

“Yes, Alpha?” Our Pack’s Beta answered after I connected with him through the Pack Link.

“I need you to search for an expert. Find me the best appraiser and a gemologist,” I ordered him as I walked to my office.

“What do you need them for?” He asked, thinking that I would be letting him take care of this task.

“No, you don’t have to meet them. I just want you to schedule a meeting. I’ll talk to them.” After saying those words, I disconnected our pack link and entered my office.

I opened my desk lamp and took another check on the bracelet, this time with close lighting.

The inscriptions, and lines that didn’t make sense before started to make sense after I placed them under the direct light.

My suspicions grew deeper when I saw the intricate detail placed in this work. I’m not an expert, but I have owned a few expensive and luxurious things to know a little when it comes to differentiating the fakes from the original ones.

Just by looking at the handcrafted design on the bracelet alone, I think it’s a foolproof hint that this could really be as valuable as I think it is.

I leaned back when a memory suddenly flashed in my head. I think I know where I’ve seen this bracelet before.

I remember one friend who wore this once. The reason why it attracted my attention was because my friend is a man, and he is wearing a bracelet.

I’m not truly sure if this is the same bracelet that he wore at that time. It was too long ago, my memory might be wrong.

As far as I can remember, a friend of mine bragged about his bracelet when I made fun of him for wearing a bracelet.

He said that his bracelet is made of Luminite and the little stone on it that looked fake was actually an ancient stone from the first crafted crown that was made for the Shadowfang Pack’s Alpha when crowns came into fashion.

With such a valuable object, how could Astrid’s grandmother happen to acquire such a bracelet?

I was thinking of contacting my old friend and asking him about this bracelet directly, but he and I aren’t as close as we were anymore.

Years passed, many things happened and times have changed. I think it’s better to check first if this thing is real before I reconnect with my old friend.

I sighed and placed Astrid’s bracelet in one of my table’s drawers. I should sleep on it and show it first to the experts before I conclude anything.

I cannot tell Astrid about any of my suspicions first until I make sure that I am right.

Just as I was about to leave the office and go to my room to end the day, a Pack Warrior suddenly pushed the door to my office open almost startling me.

“Alpha,” the Pack Warrior panted as he spoke. “You need to check something before you leave.”

My brows furrowed. No warrior would come to my office this time of the night unless it was an emergency.

“What is it?” I asked him with a straight face.

“While our Pack Warriors were taking their rounds, they caught werewolves spying around our Pack borders,” the warrior reported.

Ever since Astrid got attacked near our Pack borders, I strengthened our Pack’s security and added more warriors who would take turns guarding and looking out for our borders to ensure safety.

I clenched my fist in anger when I heard that someone still dared to lurk around our Pack borders.

“Where are they now?” I demanded with my Alpha voice, making him cower in fear.

“We brought them all in the dungeons for interrogation, Alpha.” Hearing this, I stormed out of my office and marched over to the dungeons.

“How many are they?” I asked him as I walked and he followed behind me.

“There were two of them, Alpha. Both of them claimed that they didn’t know each other.

My confusion deepened when I heard this. I wonder if they are after our Pack or after Astrid.

As of now, our Pack doesn’t have enemies, but who else aside from Killian would go after Astrid? Luckily, I strengthened the guard around our Pack borders, and they were able to catch the spies alive.

I stopped in my tracks and turned around, making the pack warrior abruptly stop from walking.

“No one should know about this, are we clear?” I spoke in an authoritative voice.

“Yes, Alpha,” he firmly replied.

I had just told Astrid that I would protect her and make sure that she was going to be safe in my Pack. I want to make her feel that she’s safe. I can’t let this thing make her worry.

I put my game face on as I continued to walk to our Pack’s dungeon.

Now it’s time to find out to whom these spies are working for.
