Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 72: Paternal Identity Drystan's POV "Who do you think your father is?" I asked her, curious about her answer.

Astrid furrowed her brows, her gaze shifting inward as a thoughtful expression crossed her features.

"My mother is a pure-blooded omega, and I am too. Most likely, my father could be an omega from a different Pack, or worse, he could be a rogue or a criminal.

This is the reason why I sometimes think it would be best if I never met him at all. I will not know what to feel if I found out that my father is an outlaw with money on his head." I chuckled at his far-fetched imagination. "I'm sure your father is not a criminal. You are thinking too much.

"Who knows? Maybe he's dead." Astrid retorted.

Suddenly, Astrid stopped in her tracks and facedwith an incredulous look in her eyes. "Wait a minute. How did our conversation turn out like this?" I laughed to minimize her suspicions. "I also don't know, too," I answered lightheartedly.

"You are asking too many questions. What is it that you want to know?" Astrid narrowed her gaze atsuspiciously.

"Nothing, I was just curious. I figured out we've known each other for so long, but I knew nothing about your parents." "Exactly, we knew each other for so long. How cyou are asking these questions just now?" Astrid shot back. "Don't worry, Astrid. I'm not planning to wipe out your whole family or anything," I gestured to stop her from getting serious. Astrid scowled at my unfunny joke.

It's okay that she gets mad atas long as she doesn't question why I'm asking her too many questions. Astrid and I fell into silence again as we continued our walk. Astrid was busy breathing the fresh air in and admiring the flowers while my mind was busy thinking about her parents and the bracelet.

Although it's her grandmother who gave that bracelet to her, it's possible that the bracelet cfrom her father or her own mother, but just because they have the Shadowfang Pack's bracelet, it doesn't mean that Astrid's parents are special. Astrid's mother has been a member of the Silvermoon Pack since birth. Both Astrid's grandparents were born into the Silvermoon Pack.

It is Astrid's father that we are not sure of. It could be that he is also a member of the Silvermoon Pack or a rogue. Only one thing is for sure: Astrid's father is also a pure-blooded omega.

He might be an omega from the Shadowfang Pack or an outlaw, as Astrid had thought, who stole the bracelet from the Shadowfang Pack.

"It's the bracelet, is it? You are askingthese questions because of it?" My eyes blinked in surprise at Astrid's sudden question." "You toldyou will tellonce you find something about the bracelet. What did you find?"Astrid asked, making my mouth run dry.

"W-What do you know about the bracelet?" I stammered out. I need to know how much of the truth I could tell her.

"I never really thought that this bracelet was special. I thought it was just a cheap bracelet that my grandmother gaveas a gift. The first tI realized it has real value in it was when Killian's mother suspectedof stealing it I nodded my head at her words. "It's a precious bracelet, Astrid," I answered tersely.

"You don't think that my grandmother stole it, too, do you?" Astrid's eyes went wide.

"Of course not. That's far from what I'm thinking. I've met your grandmother before. There's no way she's a thief," I assured her.

"I knew it. This must be from my father. Maybe he really stole it from srich person. If this bracelet was truly stolen, just tell me. I'm willing to give it back," Astrid answered. en She's really convinced that her father is a bad person. After all, he abandoned her and her mother.

"Astrid, we do not know anything yet. In the meantime, just keep this bracelet safe with you." I reassured her to ease most of her doubts.

"I'm going to leave now, Astrid. I still have work to do," I told her after checking out the time.

Astrid nodded her head. "Just tellas soon as you get news, alright?" I smiled at her. "Of course I will." "What took you so long?" Caden welcomedwith a question as soon as I entered the office.

I went straight to my table without looking at him.

"What did she say? Is she related to the Shadowfang Pack's Alpha or something?" Caden asked as he pressed his palms on my table.

I chuckled at Caden's question. "How could she be an Alpha's daughter? She doesn't even have a drop of Alpha blood in her," I answered.

If she had Alpha genes, I would have detected it a long tago. She was my student, and trained her. I know her limits, and she is just who she is.

Caden watched curiously as I wrote a letter, placing it inside an envelope. He watched as I melted a bright red wax and poured it onto the envelope in a circle. Using the stamp that Mason carved for me, I pressed it on the circle wax, leaving behind a mark of mystical sigil. "What is that?" Caden asked as he looked at the wax seal that already hardened.

"I want you to have this letter delivered to the Shadowfang Pack as soon as possible," I commanded as I handed him the envelope.

Caden looked at me, confused. "What? Who even sends letters anymore?" Mason toldthat the only way the

Shadowfang Pack would read my message to them was by sending it by letter er and using their emblem on the letter. I hope this will work as he had said. The only way I will have my answer is by hearing Theron's side of the story, which is the only information I don't have.
