Arcane Realm Chapter 21
Reyna-This was the first time that I have seen him in his wolf form. I have asked him many times why he didn’t use it, to which he always replied that he didn’t need to. Now I wonder if it was simply to keep me from figuring out the truth about him.Slowly, I moved forward and approached the wolf. It continued to howl at the moon, and it broke my heart. I should be mad at him, but right now he looked utterly broken. When I was only a few feet away, our pet, Hope, ran up to greet me.Normally I wouldn’t ignore her, but right now I needed to deal with Luka. Clearing my throat, I waited to see if he would hear me. It took him a few seconds, but sapphire blue eyes turned toward me, and I didn’t know if I was memorized or afraid.“I need to talk to you.” I stated, while keeping my voice firm and steady, even though my hands were shaking.After about a minute of him simply staring at me, he finally returned to the man I recognized. Now that I was here, I wasn’t sure what to say. How do I e

Luka-When Reyna opened her menu, I knew she was going to log out. Jumping to my feet, I lunged forward to try to grab her. When my arms were met with nothing but air, I felt defeated. Falling to my knees, I felt the urge to cry, but I wasn’t the kind of guy that allowed my emotions to show.I hadn’t moved a muscle since she left and now the sun was beginning to appear over the large walls of rocks. Still, I didn’t move as I didn’t see the point. There has been a reason that I have kept Reyna at a distance, but it wasn’t because I didn’t like her.The thing was, I was in love with her, and I have been since the second I laid my eyes on her eight years ago. I doubt she remembers me, but I remembered her. I also remember the second time we met, when I tried for years to find her.It was only by coming across a game she created by chance that I thought I would be able to get close to her. Due to certain things that came up, it has been my priority to keep her safe, even if I had to keep

Luka-“What happened? You were supposed to cause an accident for Luka last night. I paid you a lot of money to help me destroy him. You couldn’t even manage to do the one thing I asked you.” Zane’s voice spoke from inside the room, and I thought I was hearing wrong.Why would Zane want to destroy me? We grew up together. After my parents died, his dad became my mentor and raised me alongside Zane. I had stood beside him when his father died and held his father’s hand as the light in his eyes vanished.“I will come up with a way to do what you asked. I tried running him off the road, but he moved out of the way.” The other man’s voice was deep. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t recognize it.“I am tempted to find someone more competent at what they were hired to do.”The anger I heard in Zane’s voice was something I had never heard before. Since we were kids, he had always been soft-spoken. Now it was as if he was someone else entirely. I wanted to rush into the room and demand what was g
Arcane Realm Chapter 24
Reyna-I had mixed feelings about Luka now. It wasn’t that I didn’t love him, it was now whether I should. Nothing was as simple as a girl loving a guy. Until the other day, I didn’t believe that it was possible for someone to transform into an animal. Well, other than in video games and movies.After spending the weekend at home, I tried to wrap my head around everything. Kaige had come to check on me, but I asked him to return the key to my home back to me. At least for the time being. I wasn’t mad at him or even Luka, it was simply because I needed time to adjust.In the past, my brother had been able to come and go as he pleased, but now I needed a bit of time. The only reason I returned to Luka was because he still needed my help. If we were in the real world, I would likely keep my distance from him as well.It was a little strange that since the moment I met him, I have dreamed of him holding me like this. Now, it hurt because I didn’t know if I could handle the world that he l
Arcane Realm Chapter 25
Luka-I wasn’t sure if I heard her correctly. What she was suggesting shouldn’t be possible. There was no way that she shouldn’t be able to access her menu or log out. Unless she was in my situation. However, I could still access the system, except for the logging out portion.There was a failsafe that would prevent anything like this from happening. I double-checked and even triple-checked everything before releasing the game to the public. Could something have gone wrong after I was trapped inside the game?I didn’t know what was going on, but right now that wasn’t my concern. I needed to try to find a way to get her out. As I looked down, the hole she fell into, I couldn’t see anything but pitch-black darkness. When I tried using the enhanced vision skill that my wolf had, I was met with an error code that blocked my vision.“Can you see anything up here?” I yelled down to Reyna.She didn’t answer for a long time and my concern for her only multiplied. Repeatedly, I tried getting h
Arcane Realm Chapter 26
Reyna-Whether I was mentally checked out or not, I had spoken from the heart. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Luka in his attempt to save me, but I lacked any hope. Luka was struggling to climb, with me on his back. I knew I wasn’t heavy, but he couldn’t sustain both of us.“Let me go. You can’t carry me up. Thank you for trying, but you need to save yourself. You are the only one who can put an end to all of this.”Tears formed in my eyes as I spoke, but I kept my emotions from my voice. I didn’t want to die, but at the same time, I wanted him to live more. Slowly lifting my head, I unlatched my arms from around him. Before I could move too far, he grabbed my wrist.“Don’t you fucking dare! This will mean nothing if you don’t survive. We will get out of this. I will save you.” The firmness in his words filled me with renewed hope.Closing my eyes, I blocked my tears from falling. Nodding my head, although he couldn’t see me, I placed my arms firmly around him, grabbing the wrist that

Reyna-“Stay behind me. They are trained mercenaries.” Luka pulled me back and then placed his arm out in front of me, blocking me from the men.“Let me take care of them. You can’t risk getting killed.” I whispered, as to not let the men hear me.“Our boss sends his regards. He is sorry he can’t be here to do the job himself.” The man in the center, standing slightly ahead of the others spoke, just before they rushed forward to attack.Luka met them head-on, with me right behind him. There were too many for either of us to be able to handle together. It would be different if they attacked one at a time. Attacking like this could easily overwhelm even a strong fighter.All these years of training with my brother have paid off, but I was no match for them. At best, I could hold them back and defend myself. Yet two against one was not good odds for me. Luka was handling four of the men.Unlike me though, he was able to match their combat skill, if not better. If I didn’t think of a solu

Reyna- “Help! Help, me!” Looking around, I wasn’t sure where the voice came from. It sounded like a small child screaming, but it was higher pitched than that. “Did you hear that?” I asked Luka. We have been walking for only a few minutes and I had been more focused on all the beautiful colors and fairies flying around. However, I noticed that currently there weren’t any fairies. It was as if they were staying away from the area, we were in. “I think I heard it coming from that tree.” Luka pointed toward a large tree that looked as if it were dying. I didn’t remember seeing anything like that in the beta version, but I figured it was from an update. Making my way to the tree, Luka followed close behind. Just as we reached the tree's base, the screaming became louder. Looking up, I noticed a small fairy, smaller than the rest, hanging from a small branch. The branch looked as if it was going to fall at any second. Thinking quickly, I flew up to help the fairy down. “You can let m

Reyna-We arrived back at Wolf Tech, entering through the back entrance to avoid the angered crowd out front. Neither of us wanted to avoid them, but until we knew what was going on, it was better to not expose ourselves yet. Since leaving the airport, Luka hasn’t said much.He has been on his phone trying to reach out to staff. No one had answered, except for Jake, who had said he would come in to help us figure out what was going on. Kaige and a few members of his pack were also on the way to help.When the elevator doors opened, we were shocked by what we saw. Staff members were running around like crazy. Papers were scattered everywhere. Phones were ringing nonstop. People were shouting left and right. It was utter chaos.“We need to get everyone under control.” I rushed forward to try to get everyone to stop, but suddenly Luka grabbed my arm and pulled me back.“Leave them for now, we should go lock ourselves in my office for now while we figure out what happened. Everyone is in
Arcane Realm Chapter 70: It isn't over...
Reyna-Over the next couple of days, I let Ameria plan everything according to her vision. I was happy to be included in everything, but I didn’t feel the stress that came with being the bride. If anything, I felt the bliss of being the bride.I was looking forward to when Luka saw me walking toward him in my mother’s wedding dress, which Ameria altered. Instead of having her tweak it to fit my style, I wanted it to be as similar to the dress my mother had worn. Since my mother couldn’t be here, I wanted to feel as if she was with me.During the days leading up to the wedding, I barely spent any time with Luka. We saw each other every day, but planning a wedding in such a fleeting time wasn’t easy. Yet, as I stood in what used to be my living room, I looked around and felt as if a million butterflies were fluttering in my stomach.In the center of the room, there were chairs lined up, with a buffet table in front of them. Instead of having chairs moved when it was time to eat, we deci
Arcane Realm Chapter 69: The future begins
Reyna-I was all smiles when Luka and I exited the game together. Well, not exactly together. He asked me to wait three minutes before I left the game. He wouldn’t tell me why though. The moment I opened my eyes, it wasn’t just because Luka logged out successfully.He was kneeling in front of me, holding a box with a stunning diamond ring. The diamond wasn’t too big, but it was large enough that I could see how identical it was to the ring he gave me in the game. My jaw went slack, as I hadn’t thought he had prepared a ring. His memory had only just returned.“What is this?” I couldn’t take my eyes off the ring.“Did you think I wouldn’t give you a ring once we were out of the game?”“I mean, I figured you would, but not so quickly. This had to have taken time to prepare, as it is a replica of the ring I had worn in the game.” Turning my surprised expression onto him, I saw he was smiling. “How is this possible?”“I designed the ring first. It was my inspiration for the game. Although
Arcane Realm Chapter 68
Reyna- “Everything is now officially over.” Luka’s voice sent warmth through me. Just when I had given up on any hope of having him back, he returned to me. Being in his arms like this was something I had missed and never thought I would feel again. Did he really remember though? Sniffling a few times, I loosened my hold on him. He didn’t let me go, but he unwrapped one of his arms from my waist and reached up to touch the side of my face. The heat from his breath as he pulled back just enough to look at me, helped calm me. “Do you truly remember?” My voice shook slightly as I tried to stop crying. “I remember everything. I remember the first time I met you when you hurt yourself at the park as a child, when I met you again at the hospital, everything we went through in the game, and so much more. I am sorry I made you suffer this last week.” Luka caressed my cheek tenderly. “It isn’t your fault. I should be the one to apologize. I was ready to walk away from you. I shouldn’t hav
Arcane Realm Chapter 67
Luka-Finally, the press conference was over. Returning to my office, I closed the door behind me. For two straight hours, I had to answer question after question. I didn’t think it would ever end until Jake stepped forward and informed them that any further questions could be emailed to the Secretary.Shrugging my suit jacket off, I hung it on the hook by the door, before going to my desk. I expected to see a resignation letter, but there wasn’t one. Perhaps she had changed her mind. Smiling, I sat down on my chair and turned slightly to face my computer.It wasn’t that I had wanted her to leave, but I was confused. It was clear she was my mate, but I didn’t remember anything about her. I have been racking my brain trying to find any connection to her, but there wasn’t one.Until I was able to find the underlying cause of everything or remember something about her, I needed to keep my distance. Every time I was around her, I was unable to concentrate on anything. That was the real re
Arcane Realm Chapter 66
Reyna-“I guess.” He murmured.Luka’s hand fell from his neck, and he shoved it into the front pocket of his pants. I could sense that something was bothering him, but I didn’t get a chance to ask him. Jake arrived with a folder for Luka.“Here is the speech you wanted me to print.” Jake passed the folder to Luka.The level of awkwardness in the air was enough to suck the breath out of me. Jake must have sensed it too, because he shifted from one foot to the other as if he were debating on leaving or staying. Forcing a smile, I decided that now wasn’t the time to figure out what was going on between Luka and me.Glancing at the clock on the wall, I moved across the room, stopping briefly to grab my phone off my desk. “We should head down now. The press is expecting us in ten minutes.”Luka grunted his approval as if it were business as usual and walked away without a word. Jake eyed me curiously, but I simply shook my head. Until I could figure it out, there was no way I could begin t
Arcane Realm Chapter 65: One Week Later
Reyna-“Can you believe it? Luka just walked in as if he hasn’t been missing all this time.” My best friend Ameria sat on my desk, facing the large window of my new office. A full week has passed since Luka left the game and lost his memory. Well, he forgot about me, but he remembered everything else. The most he could remember was that someone had helped him in the game but couldn’t recall details.I tried explaining to him that I was his mate, but he didn’t believe me. He said that he felt something weird toward me, but he couldn’t explain it. I tried to tell him everything about our past, but no matter what I said, he didn’t remember anything.The more I tried explaining, the more agitated he became. It was weird that I was the only one he didn’t remember. He could remember every detail about everyone else, including Kaige. My brother had failed to help me, so Luka ended up leaving his house.I had returned to work and the entire company had been in shambles. An email from Luka w
Arcane Realm Chapter 64
Reyna-A low growl echoed around the room a second later and I recognized it instantly. Before I could look over at Jake and Luka, a large black wolf slammed into the side of Zane’s wolf. Freed at last, I quickly moved to my feet.Zane and a back wolf were currently in a full-fledged fight. Seeing Luka’s wolf in the flesh, I almost let out a squeal of delight. To confirm that the black wolf was Luka, I glanced over at where Luka had been lying. His body was no longer there. Only Jake remained, looking utterly stunned.Feeling that I would only get in the way, I backed up to give the two wolves room to fight. They moved quickly, but I managed to follow their movements with my eyes. At first, Zane had the upper hand, but it didn’t take long for Luka to overpower Zane.Seeing them fight in the real world felt unreal. When Zane’s wolf lashed out at Luka, blood spurted from a wound. For a split second, I thought about getting a potion but then remembered that we weren’t in the game.For th

Reyna-“It is done.” Luka said a few minutes later.He was now facing me, standing with his arms relaxed at his sides. The world around us was breaking down and disappearing little by little. Even if Luka seemed completely relaxed, seeing everything break apart and disappear was unsettling.“Just like that?” My gaze shifted from one thing to another, before it disappeared before my eyes. “Did you destroy the game?”“No, it is just being reset completely and rebuilt according to my code. Everything will go back to the way it was meant to be. We do need to leave the game before everything disappears.” Luka stepped forward and took my hand in his.“Can we log out now?” I looked at him expectantly. This all seemed too easy.“Yes. Everything will be fine now. I just need you to log out first and I will be behind you shortly after.”A smile lit up his face and I felt a wave of excitement flow through me. Was it truly over? After all this time, was it really that simple? Well, not entirely.
