Arcane Realm Chapter 50
Luka-For an entire week, Reyna and I spent as much time together as possible. We didn’t try to challenge the Hydra again. Not only because we weren’t sure if Zane still had people searching for me, but also because as far as Zane and her coworkers were concerned, she was still healing from an accident.The full moon would also fast approaching, and she was going to need time to adjust after her first shift. Now that we knew it was inevitable, we were all preparing for it. I also agreed to work with her brother and his men as well.Originally, I hadn’t wanted to get more people involved, but now I knew that I needed all the help I could get. After considering it for a bit, I realized that Kaige and his pack might be the only ones that I could trust, other than Reyna. I might not know Kaige’s pack member well, but I knew Kaige enough to trust his words.Well, it was mostly because I knew he wouldn’t do anything that would bring harm to his sister. After agreeing to it, Kaige and his me

Reyna-I wasn’t sure how it was possible for Luka to be outside of the game right now, but I wasn’t about to question it. For the first time today, I wasn’t in extreme pain. Plus, it felt good to be able to have him hold me for real.His body felt warm, and I could hear the sound of his heartbeat as my head rested against his chest. This was much different than being held by him inside the game. Once we return to the game though, I will miss the feeling that his touch in real life gave me.I knew it probably had a little to do with the mate bond because I have been doing my own research. Right now, I couldn’t think about that though, because I wanted to cherish every moment, I had with him. I didn’t know how long he would have, because I figured that he was only out of the game temporarily.The pain that I have been experiencing all day as if every bone in my body was trying to break, had been relieved when he wrapped his arms around me. I thought for a minute that it was over, but th
Arcane Realm Chapter 52
Reyna-Three weeks. For three weeks I have been in utter hell. If I had known that my life would change this much after the full moon, I would have wished to be human. Since the full moon, the only thing I had to keep holding on to was that all night I had been in Luka’s arms.All he had wanted to talk about was how different I was going to feel, while I had wanted to do anything but lay around all night. I had felt energized and wanted to do something with Luka. Since it was the only time we could both be out of the game until something else changed, I wanted to enjoy my time with him.I couldn’t really complain though, considering that I did enjoy it. For the last three weeks though, I wished we could have done something else. Since he returned to the game that next morning, I haven’t been able to log in.Apparently, the system wasn’t able to identify me since I developed my wolf abilities, which was a huge problem. Some of Kaige’s pack members and I were working on fixing it but un
Arcane Realm Chapter 53
Zane-After logging out of the game, I slammed my fist down on my desk. How was Luka still alive? I have set countless traps for him, but he was now on level fourteen. If I had known he had others with him, I wouldn’t have tried finding him on my own.I could return with help, but I doubted that Luka would stay put. Since I was able to locate his account now, I could track him anywhere he went. I had to be careful because I didn’t know who he had working with him.More than likely their characters were nothing like what they looked like in real life. Well, there was the girl. Although I didn’t know who the girl was, there was something familiar about her. Luka also made significant efforts to hide her face so I couldn’t see.Sitting at my desk in my office, at the company, I stewed on it for a few hours. When my computer notified me of a new email, I checked it and saw that Reyna emailed me to let me know she was returning to work tomorrow. Leaning back in my chair, I smiled at being
Arcane Realm Chapter 54
Reyna-After Zane left, I practically collapsed in my chair. That had been close, way too close. It was a good thing that Luka produced a plan. He was worried that Zane would have figured out it was me with Luka last night, which is why he was going to have an NPC pretend to be me.I guess it was a good thing that Luka designed Alish to look exactly like me. The plan had been for me to pretend to be logged into the game, so I could let Luka know if Zane came looking for me. We hadn’t known when it would happen, but I was glad it happened when it did.If it had taken any longer, I would have fallen asleep. As soon as Zane left my office when I had been pretending, I saw him log into the game. Alerting Luka about what was going on, he informed me that he was with the NPC and waiting.I didn’t like that he was baiting Zane, but luckily Kaige and the others had been close by, just in case. Now that Zane was looking in another direction than me being the one helping Luka, I could continue
Arcane Realm Chapter 55
Reyna-“What is wrong?” Luka asked when we were away from the others and started searching for the troublemaker.Although caught in the act, I played it off as if nothing were wrong. “Whatever do you mean? I just figured we could work together to find the kid.”“Reyna…” He called my name as a warning, and I felt it down to my core.Guilt slammed into me, that I could no longer try to hide. I had nothing in my mouth, but I swallowed hard. Turning to face him, I looked down at the ground, wishing that the pebble beneath my foot could grow into a large rock that I could hide under.Technically I did nothing wrong, but the last thing I wanted to do was admit that I was upset that we were gliding through the game without issues. It was embarrassing, especially since I should be elated that we were getting through the levels and Luka was safe. As much as I didn’t want to admit it, I knew that I couldn’t hide it any longer. “Okay fine. I am jealous, all right? Ever since my brother and the
Arcane Realm Chapter 56
Reyna-When I didn’t hear the elevator coming, I remembered that it was out of order. Turning to go to the stairs, I was blocked as Zane placed an arm out and flattened his hand against the wall. Spinning around, I attempted to go the other direction, but he quickly placed his other hand on the wall, trapping me.“Just give me a minute to explain.” Zane sounded panicked.“I saw nothing, I should have knocked.” Unable to meet his eyes, I kept my gaze on the ground.“That was just us having fun. We aren’t in a relationship and if you want me to, I will end it with her.”“It is none of my business what you do in your free time.”I wasn’t sure if he were angry or what, but I prayed that he wouldn’t ask me what I had been doing up here. Instead of barging in, I should have listened through the door for any sounds. The last thing I needed to be was careless, especially around him.“I didn’t want to tell you this way, but I like you. Everything is your business. Just give me a chance to prov
Arcane Realm Chapter 57
Reyna-Just breathe. I kept reminding myself as I slowly backed away from Zane. His attention was fully on whatever he was looking at, allowing me to put some space between us. I thought about asking Luka what I should do, but I couldn’t risk it.I still had a chance to get out of this without him believing Nicole, or at least I hoped that I did. Stopping when I reached the end of the couch, I hoped that didn’t make me look guilty. If Luka wasn’t saying anything right now, I had to believe that he also thought I still had a chance.Should Luka talk, then it was likely that Zane would hear it with his werewolf senses. Placing my hands behind my back, I clasped them together and noticed they were extra sweaty. Just breathe. I told myself again.“What is this?” Zane looked horrorstruck and flipped to another page.“I thought there was something strange going on with her, so I started following her around.” So that is who she has been following. Not Luka, but me. “When I found out her hus

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.
