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
Arcane Realm Chapter 58
Reyna-Once a good distance away from Wolf Tech and Kaige tells me to slow down because we aren’t being chased, I let off the accelerator. As I did, Luka released an audible exhale in my ear. With everything going on, I almost forgot he had been listening to everything the entire time.“I don’t know whether to kiss you or yell at your right now.” Luka was panting, making it sound as if he had been holding his breath the whole time.“I got the flash drive.”“That’s great and all, but you could have been in a lot of danger. I don’t want you to return to Wolf Tech or get anywhere near Zane. It is no longer safe until I can get out and deal with him.”“Don’t worry, I don’t plan on it. Right now, the only thing that I am going to focus on is helping you beat the game. I can worry about the rest later. There is something that does need to be handled though.”Glancing at my brother, who was now wearing his shirt and pants, I narrowed my eyes at him briefly before looking at the road again. “
Arcane Realm Chapter 59
Reyna- The next morning, after spending the night with Luka, I had to log out of the game. We spent all night trying to produce a solution. The only thing Luka could think about was to hack the system and return everything back to normal. If it weren’t for the huge risk involved, I would have agreed. It was no longer about being found, now it was about the system detecting him as a virus. It was too risky to attempt a large-scale hacking code inside the game. We agreed to meet in a safe zone, on a previous level, this evening, after everyone else could join us. After spending so much time in the game, I felt as if my insides were going to explode. Rushing to the bathroom, I managed to sit down on the toilet to relieve myself just in time. I thought about going to get something to eat first but ended up showering and getting changed instead. Just as I was about to leave my room, my phone rang. Checking the caller ID, I saw it was my best friend. It was Friday, so I didn’t know why
Arcane Realm Chapter 60
Reyna-At the rate we were going, if we didn’t figure out a way out, Luka wasn’t going to survive. There were too many of them to keep away from Luka. It didn’t take much to figure out that Zane wasn’t taking any chances. This was too much just to get rid of one person.“Reyna, I managed to get through the same door that Zane managed to attack Luka in your location. Alpha and the others will be joining shortly to help.” Jake’s voice came over the automated system that was directly linked to my account.Perfect timing, I thought. It wasn’t long after that my brother and his men started teleporting in to help. I noticed a few of them try to shift into wolves, resulting in them getting killed in the process. Thankfully I took out the safety features in their gear, so they were able to rejoin a minute later.Now I was sure that any character’s special ability was prohibited. I'm not sure if it was due to Zane doing something or just the system not allowing it due to this being a safe zone
Arcane Realm Chapter 61
Reyna-Since neither of us knew our way around level twenty, we had to rely on the map. We tried not to waste any time grinding through the monsters, but we also needed to be able to be able to get stronger. Especially me, since I was in the same situation that Luka was in, except he doesn’t know.We were the only players on level twenty, so at least we didn’t need to worry about other players. Since Luka’s identity has been revealed, he no longer has to try to conceal his face. Walking side by side with him, it was a little strange that he didn’t need to hide any longer.“What is it?” Luka asked, catching me staring at him for the tenth time.“Sorry, it is just odd seeing you being completely exposed without a hood or mask on.” I smiled shyly as I looked away.“It isn’t like you haven’t seen it.”“I know, but it is different. I guess it is more of a reminder that the end is drawing near.” I shrugged.I didn’t elaborate on what ending it would be, because at this point, I didn’t know.
Arcane Realm Chapter 62
Reyna-Instead of trying to explain it, I opened my menu and went to where the log-out button should be. Showing it to him, I watched as a mixture of different emotions moved over his face. The two most noticeable emotions were anger and concern.“Fuck!” He roared, no longer keeping his voice down.Flinching as he slammed his fist against the rock beside my head, I didn’t stop him when he walked away and began pacing. I wasn’t sure if he was angry at me or just Zane. To be fair, he had every right to be angry with me, considering I had withheld that information from him.“I am going to kill him.” He growled.“I know I should have told you, but I didn’t want you to worry. There is already a lot going on, that I didn’t want to add to it.”“This isn’t your fault. I mean, I wish you would have told me, but you are not to blame.” His voice softened as he approached me, touching the side of my face tenderly.Before I could reach up to cover his hand with mine, to comfort him, he walked away

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

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.
