Chapter 69: Red Rugged Stone

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 have no idea what stone this is. I've never seen anything like it," he spoke grievously with his head lowered and
