Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Sacred Treasure

Drystan’s POV

I shook my head as I slowly approached Astrid. Tears threatened to come out of the back of my eyes, but I fought them back as I stared at Astrid’s limp body.

I wanted to hold her hand, but I couldn’t. A glass stopped me from touching her, so I could only place my hand on top of the glass.

“Asha, you are the best physician in our Pack. Surely, you know a way how to cure her,” Theron insisted.

Asha sighed. “Forgive me, Father, but the only way we could help Astrid’s wolf is by curing the root of her disease, which we had no idea about.

We can continue giving her medicine if you want, but her body would only slowly gain resistance to it, and we will have to add more dosage.

Astrid’s body would only become dependent on medicine if we did that. It will only make her health deteriorate faster and lessen her rate of survival.

The only way I could think of in saving her is by focusing on her human self more. There’s nothing else I could do to help her wolf,” Asha spoke in a lengthy explanation.

I fell silent at her rational words. I only have little knowledge of medicine, but I know that what she said was right. As the head physician of the Shadowfang Pack, she is the person who knows all things the most.

If she said there’s nothing we could do, then there’s nothing we

could do. Unless, of course, they use the Lunar Elixir, which is the only cure for Astrid’s disease.

However, this Lunar Elixir is their Pack’s sacred treasure.

There’s no way they would give it to us, and we also have no power to demand it from them, nothing to give in exchange for Astrid’s life.

“What’s the use of living if you don’t have your wolf?” Theron asked his daughter to show her that her solution to the problem is also useless. “You can’t just save the human side. You need to save both,” Alpha Theron demanded.

Asha looked at her father in bewilderment. “But, father, this request would be impossible. Even if I try my best, even if I spend sleepless nights doing my research. What could I possibly do to save Astrid and her wolf?”

“There must be a way, Asha,” Theron spoke, not willing to give up. “How about the Lunar Elixir? That would help, right?”

My eyes turned to Theron in shock when I heard his question. Even Nova couldn’t believe it.

“Father!” Asha gasped, her cherry lips turned wide as if her. father had just said something forbidden. “You wouldn’t!”

Theron’s gaze turned hard. “If the Lunar Elixir can save Astrid and her wolf’s life, then we should use it for her.”

“Have you gone crazy?!” Asha blurted out as she finally lost control of herself. “She’s not even a member of our Pack.”

“Alek,” Theron turned his attention to his Beta, ignoring his own daughter’s words.

Asha watched as Beta Alek came forward and bowed his head to her father. “Alpha,” Beta Alek spoke in reverence to his

leader.

“Go and bring the Lunar Elixir here,” Theron commanded him nonchalantly.

“A–Alpha,” Beta Alek’s eyes turned wide as he lifted his head and looked at his Alpha, hoping that he would take back his command.

“Just take it, Alek. The Lunar Elixir has been stored in our private treasuries for a long time. Finally, it has found its purpose.”

Asha breathed out in disbelief. “What purpose is this?” She asked his father. “We don’t even know who that woman is!” Asha spoke angrily.

I clenched my fists as I watched them argue with each other. I wanted to stop Theron and make him change his mind about the Lunar Elixir, but at the same time, I wanted to save Astrid and her wolf.

I could only turn a blind eye to them and fight against myself to keep silent. No matter how precious the Lunar Elixir is, Astrid needed it.

I know I’m being selfish, but I only become irrational when it comes to Astrid.

Asha crossed her arms in anger when her father didn’t change his mind.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Asha, I will leave you in charge of this. The Lunar Elixir is also at stake here, so make sure to use it efficiently. If this fails to heal Astrid, then the Lunar Elixir will be put to waste,” Theron warned his daughter.

“Father, the Lunar Elixir is our Pack’s sacred treasure. You

can’t make rash decisions about it, and you shouldn’t be making this kind of decision alone.” Asha tried to convince her father, while Beta Alek hadn’t returned yet.

“I’m the Pack’s Alpha, Asha. My words are the law. No one is higher than me.”

“You are going to bring our Pack in disaster! Our ancestors guarded the Lunar Elixir with their own life. Are you ready to face the consequences of defiling such a sacred treasure?” Asha asked her father.

Once again, Theron only sighed. “I’ve given my word, Asha, and no one could take that back.”

A sacred treasure is a valuable object that a Pack is

responsible for protecting. It is said that if a sacred treasure fails to be protected by the Pack, it will bring misfortunes to the Pack or a string of deadly disasters as they suffer from the wrath of their ancestors.

“Who is she, father? Who is she that you are willing to sacrifice our sacred treasure just for her?” Asha demanded her father with her sharp features.
