《His Light》chapter five

Jasper's POV
Alice has been on my mind all day, I haven't been this confused in a while, she saw my mate coming and yet said noting about it, she knows I love her and nothing could ever change that, my mate is most probably human, how does she know that she'll even accept me, what if she rejects me? What if she wants nothing to do with me? I grow more anxious as I keep thinking of rejection, she wouldn't want to be with someone who could hurt her and put her life at risk, she wouldn't want someone like me. I'm a monster.
I need to find Alice, we can talk this out and fix everything right, yeah that's it, we'll fix our relationship, we'll be fine. We will be fine.
It's currently lunch, I'm hoping to find Alice and talk things through with her before it's too late.
Walking through the hall, I see her standing by her locker, "Alice," I breathe out, "we really need to talk, please." I plead.
"Jazz there really is nothing to talk about, you're going to meet her and then you'll understand why I had to break us up. She literally made for you. You're going to love her, she's an angel." She responded with a smile.
How is she so accepting of this? Does she not care about us?
"Do you not care? Did we not mean anything to you?" I question lowly, frustrated.
"Of course I care Jazz, that's why we had to break up. I love you, you know I do, but you're going to love her more. She's going to be your world Jazz, you just need to allow yourself to feel for her," she looked at me smiling softly.
"Now lets go for lunch they're waiting on us." she said.

"I'll catch up, go without me, umm yeah, go." I whispered.
I watched as she walked in the direction of the cafeteria, I started walking the opposite way.
I've had a lot of heartbreak in my life but this is just one of those moments I'm failing to grasp. It's really over.
As I walk I smell that scent again, it's coming one of the lockers. The scent is very alluring, how come I've never smelt this before. Do we have a new student? Whoever this new person is smells delicious, what perfume is this?
I reach the locker and sit in front of it, it's calming, I sigh out loud.
This day has been a complete mess, I'm a complete mess, what am I going to do without Alice, I need her.
"Hi," great I'm hearing voices now, it's beautiful though, I wouldn't mind listening to it all day, very calming, I think to myself, "are you okay?"
I jump up startled, looking up in front of me, wait there actually is a person here. Oh my she's gorgeous, an absolute angel, her eyes stare deeply into mine.
I feel enslaved, like I could never look away and I would be okay with that, looking into her dark pools filled with emotion, she looks confused almost as if she does not understand what is happening right now.
"I'm Micha." she introduces, she smiles at me, she's blushing. I'd probably be red if I had any blood in me.
"Jasper," I start off, "Jasper Hale."
I stand up to shake her hand, I extend my hand towards her and she grabs it, it's warm, like fire almost.
She giggles pulling away, "Your hand is really cold, you should wear gloves." she said giving me a hypnotic smile.

I chuckle softly, "I'll take that into consideration, little miss." I smile at her short height.
"I am not that short, I'm like 5 foot 3 inches." she pouted cutely.
"Of course, that's not short at all." I tease sarcastically.
"Why were you sitting in front of my locker, you looked sad, are you okay?" she asked sweetly.
Oh now it makes sense, the scent coming from the locker intensified when she got here, I just didn't notice it, I was too busy staring.
"umm," I scratched my head, nervously. "my girlfriend broke up with me, I just needed to think for a bit."
"Oh, I'm sorry, do you want to talk ab..." the bell cut her off.
Lunch is over. She sighed and took her books out of her locker, History, I have History too.
"I'll walk with you." I smiled at her.
We started walking together, I just met my mate, and she's human.

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.

The White Room
A group of gamers are hired as guinea pigs to test a new VR system. None of them know what exactly to expect. Is the new system bing tested, or is it them? Are they just there for games, or is there a greater game being played? My first attempt at writing LitRPG. I I'm learning as I go and therefore will probably stumble over numerous cliches of the genre and writing in general. Definitely a work in progress.
