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-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-Before we left the INN, we ran into a female Fairy, NPC. She was very absent-minded as she searched frantically for something. I remembered seeing the NPC on multiple levels, but I didn’t recall meeting her on this level.Her name was Thane, and she was always misplacing stuff. It was a somewhat unnecessary quest, as the only thing that could be received as a reward was a material called Dlarun, which was used to craft basic weapons or could be sold at the market for a few gold pieces.Unlike most NPC’s her quest could be activated multiple times and she showed up at random on various levels. Although we didn’t need to complete the quest, we still did, because it made us feel better helping her. The item she misplaced was a pair of reading glasses, which turned out to be on her head.After completing the mission and leaving the INN, we walked around the town for a bit. We didn’t talk much, as things were now slightly awkward between us. Shopping around town, we purchased a few

Luka-Letting the blindfold drop to the ground, I took a small step forward as I wrapped my arms around Reyna. We were now standing on the path to the Starlight Trail. This part of the map was different from the rest of the map, as it was always dark here.There weren’t any monsters, and it was considered a safe zone. Also, unlike the rest of the map on this level, it was the most realistic area. The trees were green, and the sky was pitch black. The only abnormal thing was that the sky was constantly moving as if the stars were merely passing through.“It is beautiful.” Reyna’s voice was breathless as she looked up at the stars.Although I wasn’t looking up at the stars like she was, I was looking at her. If there was anything beautiful in this moment, it was her. Her face was illuminated by a soft glow, due to the lighting of the stars. There wasn’t a moon out, but the stars were plentiful and bright enough to light the path.“Yes, you are.” I pressed a fleeting kiss on the side of

Reyna-“Was there a reason you invited me out for lunch?” I asked Zane after the waitress took our order.When we arrived at the restaurant that Zane wanted to take me to, I was a little surprised. I expected it to be a nice expensive place. Instead, it was a quaint little family restaurant that served Italian food.“Actually, I should be honest. I wanted to get to know you better. There is something intriguing about you and I would like to become friends. Well, for now, I want to be friends.”I wanted to tell him that there was no feasible way we could be more than friends, as my heart belonged to someone else. Since I couldn’t admit to knowing what was going on with Luka though, I had to keep my mouth shut. If someone knew that I was in a relationship but couldn’t prove it, they might think I am crazy or learn the truth.Smiling at him, I hoped he at least didn’t think I was agreeing to become more than friends. Since he was Luka’s best friend, then I didn’t see a reason we couldn’t
