Reclaiming My Broken Luna

Chapter 70: Heirloom



Drystan's POV

That couldn't be. I've thought about so many possibilities, but this... This is far from what I even have imagined.

"This is an heirloom, Alpha. Not just any heirloom. This prized possession came from the Shadowfang Pack's ancient Alpha lineage, which holds historical significance and sentimental worth. This is a cherished legacy in the Shadowfang Pack," Mason added as he held the bracelet tightly in his hand like he was afraid that he would lose it.

Caden and I shared a look at each other when we heard Mason's words. Caden knows that the bracelet is owned by Astrid.

If the bracelet is truly an heirloom by the Shadowfang Pack's Alpha, then why was it passed down to Astrid?

"Are you sure that's the same stone? I only found this bracelet in the possession of an omega," I gave him a little bit of information just so he would trust me and tell me the truth.

Mason's brows furrowed. I'm not sure if it is caused by confusion or disbelief.

"This bracelet has been taken care of by all generations of our Alpha bloodline. How could a mere omega outside the Shadowfang Pack hold possession of it?" Mason asked me the same question that I'm wondering about.

"That's exactly my question," I responded. "If this thing is so valuable and well-guarded, then there's no way it was stolen, right? Check it again and make sure that it is the same stone that you talk of."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"His words are true, Alpha," the gemologist joined our conversation. "If it was fake or any other valuable stone, I would have recognized it instantly." My breath got caught in my throat when I heard even the gemologist's confirmation.

Astrid said her grandmother gave this to her, but I've met Astrid's grandmother before, too, when she was still alive. She was just a simple omega. There's no way she would have stolen this bracelet.

I'm sure she had never even been at the Shadowfang Pack before.

Mason fell silent as he gathered his thoughts together.

"If it is as you say it is, Mason, then do you think it was more possible that it was stolen than it was given?" I asked him as I thought of all the possibilities and tried to cross them all out.

Mason shook his head. "There's no way this is stolen. This bracelet has been worn by our Alphas, and they never remove it from their wrists until it's time for them to pass it on to the next heir. The only Alpha who never wore this bracelet was Alpha Theron, the current Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack."

Theron was the name of my best friend from the academy. I still remember it when he wore this same bracelet before and showed it to us.

I knew it. This bracelet and that bracelet he wore before were the same thing.

What is Astrid's relationship with Alpha Theron?

"H-How is he doing?" I asked him as the memories of my teenage years flooded back to me.

Theron and I used to be best buddies while we were studying at the academy where all people with Alpha bloodlines and no future Pack to rule were sent to study.

Theron and I shared the same struggles and burdens. We relate so much to each other that we just clicked easily because of our outgoing and carefree personality.

However, things have happened, and times have changed. One thing had led to another. Ever since we left the academy, we have not been in touch with each other.

"I have no idea. It's also been years since I left," Mason answered without looking at me.

"Did he have a family?" I asked him since he is the only person who knows something about the Shadowfang Pack.

No one outside the Shadowfang Pack knows anything about them. All the news in there stays in there. Mason is the only source of information I have right now.

"Of course he did," Mason replied. "He had a wife, including son and daughter."

Knowing who Theron was, I wondered if he was happy. He has a family, something I do not have. He is in a better situation than me. I hope he is happy.

"I hope this secret will be safe between us. You cannot tell a soul about this bracelet," I spoke firmly.

The gemologist instantly nodded his head, knowing the gravity of the situation.

Meanwhile, Mason held the bracelet tightly in his hand, still unwilling to let go.

"I'm sure you have questions about the bracelet, Mason, and I do too. I promise you that I will try my best to give answers to all of your questions. I will give you an update on everything, but you have to trust me. The omega that I was talking about is here with me. I need to figure out the whole truth first before I do anything," I assured him, knowing how important this is for his culture and identity.

Mason's eyes narrowed in hesitation as he pondered whether he should trust my words. Eventually, he sighed, reluctantly surrendering the bracelet and placing it on the table. Content belongs to

"I'm willing to help, Alpha, since this concerns the Pack that I came from. If you have questions, you can always call me. Just don't forget to call me back if you find something," Mason answered, which made me feet relieved.
