Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 69

Drystan’s POV

“Are you sure about it? Take another look at it first,” I answered him, ignoring his question.

I pushed back the bracelet to his hand to make him take another look at it, but he refused to take it.

“I’m sure, Alpha. I would know a real Luminite if I saw one. I’ve seen and touched a lot of that while growing up,” he answered as he placed the bracelet on the table.

I fell completely silent as I stared at Astrid’s bracelet. I knew that the bracelet was made out of real Luminite the first time that I saw it. I only called an expert to show it just to make sure I was right.

Now that it is confirmed, the question I need to ask is why Astrid has a real Luminite bracelet. How did her grandmother, who was just an omega, have a hold of this?

“I want you to check the stone,” I grabbed Astrid’s bracelet and handed it to the other expert that Caden found for me before I could rush to my own assumptions.

“What kind of stone is it?” I asked him as I struggled to keep my expression neutral.

The gemologist willingly took the bracelet for me. Using the professional tools that he brought with him and laid out on a nearby table, he examined the red, rugged red stone on the bracelet using all the tools that he had.

I watched in fascination as he worked meticulously. I couldn’t even understand most of what he was doing. Finally, he leaned back with his brows furrowed together. He took a sigh before standing up to face me formally.

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I have no idea what stone this is. I’ve never seen anything like it,” he spoke grievously with his head lowered and his folded arms raised.

I stood up abruptly. The legs of my chair scraped the floor loudly, making him flinch back in fear.

“I thought you were a professional gemologist. How come you can’t identify a single red stone that I’ve shown you?” My jaw tightened as the words left my mouth, an edge of frustration creeping into my voice.

I fixed him with a pointed stare, my eyes narrowing ever so slightly, making his throat bob up and down with fear.

“F-Forgive me, Alpha,” he stammered as he dropped to his knees. “I’ve never encountered a stone like this before, so I can’t give you a proper answer. I-I’ll do more research about it, and I will give you an update as soon as I can.”

“Just tell me, is it even valuable or not?” I demanded in anger.

He only pursed his lips and squinted his eyes as he lowered his head as low as he could. “I-I can’t give you an answer right now.”
