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

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
Arcane Realm Chapter 29
Reyna-“So, what was so urgent that you needed to call me so early and meet with me?”We were now sitting in the living room, drinking coffee that was served by a woman about my age. He wanted to show me more of the house, but I wasn’t ready to dive full in with everything. It would be better if we just took it one step at a time.Holding the coffee cup between my hands, I debated on how to tell him what was going on. The little that he did know, I knew he wasn’t thrilled about. If I told him everything, I imagine he wouldn’t let me help Luka any longer.It wasn’t that he could stop me, but he might get his men to come to take Luka’s body away. I knew my brother enough to know that when it came to protecting me, he was a little overbearing. If he sent his men, who were werewolves, what would I be able to do?I fully intended to come here to ask for his help, but now that I was sitting in front of him, I was second-guessing myself. It wasn’t like I could call the cops if he came to for
Arcane Realm Chapter 30
Luka-It gutted me to see her like this. I knew of a solution, but it was extremely risky. Currently, it was my only option and her best hope. I didn’t know if it would work, which is why it was risky. In the first week that I was trapped, I studied every scenario to get out.I found a way to escape, but by using another account. The idea was ludicrous, and I doubted it would work. There were a lot of things in this world, but this was like the icing on the cake. For me to get out, I would need to switch accounts with someone, by hacking the system.There were many reasons I never tried it, one being that it was unlikely to work, and I would die. The other reason was that if I changed accounts with someone, they would be trapped inside the game. Since this was my issue, I couldn’t do that to anyone else.Lastly, it was unlikely that it would last for exceedingly long. Knowing the way, the system was designed, if I hacked the system, it wouldn’t take long for the system to detect it. I
Arcane Realm Chapter 31
Luka-I thought about it for a minute, but I couldn’t think of anything he could do for me. Well, there was one thing. “I just need you to protect Reyna outside of the game. I will protect her inside.”“No offense, but it doesn’t seem like you are doing that good of a job protecting her from the inside. If you were, then Snake wouldn’t have found out that she was helping you.” The hostility in Kaige’s voice was to be expected.“I know. I have been beating myself up about it.”“Well don’t. I shouldn’t have said that. Honestly, if anyone is to blame, it is me. My sister came here this morning asking about Snake and I should have known there was something going on. I might not know about your situation fully, but I know enough to put the pieces together. From the beginning, I should have put warriors around her to secure her safety.”My gaze snapped up to look at him. “What do you mean she came here this morning asking about him?”“Reyna said that you guys talked about things, and you me

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

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.
