Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)

Chapter 68: Authenticity



Drystan's POV

It's been weeks since I tasked Caden to look for an expert who could take a check on Astrid's bracelet for me and identify the bracelet's authenticity.

Experts who can identify a real Luminite are hard to find. Because of the Luminite's rarity, there are only a few experts that could identify it.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Luminite is not even a known material to humans. Only werewolves know that Luminites exist.

Caden worked extra hard to find the person that I was looking for. Still, it took weeks for him to find it.

Thankfully, after using all of our connections and giving it all he has, he finally received a tip about a man who used to be a member of the Shadowfang Pack.

Of all the people in this world. There are no other more reliable people who can confirm the authenticity of Luminite aside from the members of the Shadowfang Pack from which the Luminite is sourced.

It would have been easy for us to find the person we were looking for if only the Shadowfang Pack had not been an isolationist or a closed-off pack. We could only rely on someone who used to be a member of the Shadowfang Pack.

The guests stood up and bowed their heads instantly when they saw me enter the room.

They've been waiting for me to meet them in my office since they arrived.

“Alpha, this is Mason, who used to be a member of the Shadowfang Pack, and this is Mr. Taylor, a werewolf gemologist." Caden introduced them to me as soon as I sat in my seat.

"You are a member of the Shadowfang Pack?" I asked Mason as I looked at him with curiosity.

Mason does not look like the person I expected him to be. As a member of the Shadowfang Pack, which is an ancient and powerful Pack, I was expecting something special or unusual about him.

Instead, Mason seemed like a basic man with a common face, which gave me the feeling that I might have encountered him on the streets many times before.

Ever since Caden reported that he found someone from the Shadowfang Pack, I've been looking forward to meeting him and seeing what a Shadowfang Pack member would be like.

"No, Alpha," Mason was forced to lower his head because of my intense gaze. "I used to be a member of the Shadowfang Pack. I was born there, and my family lives there. I chose to leave to be with my mate, who belongs to a different Pack," he explained.

I couldn't believe that rumored rule about the Shadowfang Pack is actually true.

There was a rumor that the

Shadowfang Pack was so closed off

that they made a rule where if a

l

member met their mate at a different Pack, they would have to

choose between their mate or staying in their Pack. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

If they chose their mate, they would have to leave their Pack forever, and they could never come back to their Pack again, even for a visit. Once they choose to leave, they will never see their families again.

Still, there is the other option. If the Pack member chose to stay, he would have to reject his mate and cut connections with her. In that way, they can live forever in their Pack.

Both options sounded equally selfish and awful. A person shouldn't have to choose between them. Only the Shadowfang Pack has such a cruel rule to their Pack members.

Now, I suddenly felt bad for Mason. The fact that he chose to be with his mate meant that he would never see his family ever again.

"Has Caden explained what I will need from you?" I asked him as I searched through my drawers to bring out the bracelet.

He nodded his head. "Yes, Alpha."

“Good," I replied tersely as I brought out the bracelet. “This is the bracelet. I want to know if it's made of real Luminite."

I tried to hand him the bracelet, but he instantly shook his head after taking only one look at it. "It's not real, Alpha," he confidently answered without even touching it.

I smiled and glanced at Caden. He really brought me an expert.

In order to find out if the expert is real, I decided to put them on a test first. There are a lot of people who could pretend to be an old member of the Shadowfang Pack. Not only that, there are a lot of people who can't identify a real Luminite, yet they claim that they could. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

With the large scams that are happening about Luminite, I needed to be smart and ensure that he was real.

With a satisfied smile on my face, I pushed aside the fake one and finally brought out Astrid's real bracelet. "How about this? Is this real Luminite?"

This time, Mason's brows furrowed as he looked at the bracelet more closely. He blinked his eyes twice before taking the bracelet from my hand.

He weighed it around with his hand and felt his fingers across its coarse and shiny metal. He examined it closely to make sure that he gave me the right answer.

"This bracelet," Mason spoke with

wide eyes. "It's really made out of real Luminite. Where did you get this bracelet?” Mason asked me

curiously as he handed it back to me Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
