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-“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

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

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

Luka-“At most? Perhaps twenty minutes before her organs start to shut down.”Hearing the Doctor say that she was running out of time, had me wanting to rip his throat out of his neck. It was like he was giving up. Anger burst through me like a volcano ready to erupt. For what felt like the first time in a long time, my wolf stirred inside me.I could sense that my wolf didn’t feel the same, but that was expected since we have lost our connection for weeks. This was the first time I have felt him since I returned to my body. As much as I knew I needed to deal with him, I also knew it wasn’t going to happen today.Reigning back my wolf, I glared at the Doctor. “You are asking me to be the one to potentially kill her?”I didn’t care that it was technically illegal. No matter what the consequences, I would gladly lay down my life if it meant saving her. The only factor in any of this was that there were too many unknown variables that could result in her death.“This might be the only op

Luka-For four days and three nights, I sat inside the room I brought Reyna to, after she got sick. During that time, I had been afraid to leave, out of fear that she would log in and I wouldn’t be in the first place came. The program I installed had finally finished, but when I tried to access it, it was as if the device had been left in a box or something.All I could see was a black screen. On the plus side, I could hear audio, but it was muffled, and I couldn’t tell what it was that I was hearing. I had hoped that Kaige would have at least updated me on what was happening, but I still didn’t know if Reyna was dead or alive.The moment I returned to the game, the ability to sense her had been taken from me. It was possibly because I didn’t have my actual wolf senses or the mate bond that I shared with her real body, while in the game. It was possibly due to that, that I was becoming irrational in my thoughts.I kept thinking that she was dead, which is why she hasn’t reached out to

Reyna-I debated for a while whether I should stay or go. There was still a huge part of me that didn’t want to see Luka right now. While the other part of me didn’t ever want to leave him. I was still terribly upset about everything, despite their reasons for doing what they did.I blamed my brother as well, which is why I told him that if he contacted Luka, I would never speak to him again. He had argued with me about it for a long time, but in the end, he agreed. For the last few days, he and I talked about everything that had happened, as well as what that could mean for me.The idea that I could potentially turn into a werewolf on the next full moon was terrifying. Kaige told me that he had been the one to talk Luka into marking me. That made me hate Luka a little less, but the fact that I might still become a werewolf wasn’t something I could overlook.I just barely accepted the fact that werewolves were real and now I could be one. Kaige also explained to me that Luka had creat
