《The Female Alpha // ✓》C H A P T E R F O U R | Shopping? Or not...
Advertisement
I walked down the stairs with Amber, Ronnie, Bonita and Henry. Once I reached the bottom, I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a box of Lucky Charms from the cupboard. I poured it into a bowl along with some milk, and then I grabbed a spoon.
When I finished eating, I picked up the bowl and put it into the sink, then turned around and ran to my room.
I walked into my walk-in-closet and grabbed a black t-shirt with a white horse, some denim shorts and a blue hoody. I slipped them on along with my black converse high-tops, then ran down stairs back to my friends.
"Hey guys, you wanna go shopping?" Our packs beta female, Cassandra, asked. Amber, Bonita and I nodded our heads eagerly, while the boys just groaned.
"Do we have to?" They said simultaneously. We all laughed at them, but a sudden dizziness made its way to my head. I collapsed, but Ronnie caught me. He looked really worried.
"Paige!!" Cassandra screamed as she took me from Ronnie's arms. How he was still holding me, I didn't know, but I was glad that he didn't let me fall.
"Why are you so pale all of a sudden??
Ronnie, get a wet face washer. Henry, get a bucket just in case, Bonita and Amber, go get her parents," Cassandra demanded, in a nice-ish way. Everyone nodded and went off to do as they were told.
"Your gonna be alright." Was all I heard before everything went black.

I woke up in a hospital bed, mum and dad holding both of my a hands. I tried to sit up and their heads shot up to look at me.
"Your awake!!" My mum shouted. I covered my ears.
"Jeez, mum, not so loud." I laughed as dad pulled me into a big hug.

"I'm so glad your okay, princess." He said, giving me a kiss on the forehead.
"What happened?" I asked, confused.
"Long story short, your mum and I were cooking dinner, Amber and Bonita came in and said you were sickly pale and had collapsed, and then when we got to you Cassandra was holding you in her arms," Dad exclaimed.
"Do you know what's wrong with me?" I asked.
"Oh, honey, nothing's wrong with you. You just must have gotten... over excited." Mum protests, rubbing my back.
Why was she so nervous? Are they hiding something?
"You're hiding something," I said, certain. She looked shocked then hid it quickly.
"What? Why would I hide something from you?" She laughed nervously.
"Mum? Are you pregnant!?" I shouted/asked.
"What? N-" I cut her off.
"I'm gonna be a big sister?!" I asked loudly.
"Paige, I'm not-" I cut her off yet again.
"Is it gonna be a sister?" I asked.
"What? No, Paige-"
"I'm gonna have a baby brother!?" I screamed.
"No!!" She answered.
"Oh my gosh!! They're twins!!" I screamed.
"No, Paige!! I'm not pregnant," She said.
Was I disappointed? Yeah, you could say that.
I slumped at the news, then heard her say something else;
"We know why you passed out," She said sadly.
"You're getting ready to shift,"
I think I'm gonna pass out again.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
