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
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
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
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
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
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
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
