Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Thank you to everyone who visited me last weekend! This weekend, I'm continuing with a snippet from the third story in my Shifter Towers series, PIKA OMEGA PLUS ONE. It's an MM MPreg Shifter Romance. The story was contracted this week to Decadent Publishing, and we're aiming for an end of February release.
Set-up: Continuing from last weekend's snippet, Milo is heading to work for the first time after having his son. He was on the bus with many other omegas and some horny alphas.
When the bus reached the transfer station, I piled off with the rest of the passengers then rushed to catch the light rail transit. A route I was familiar with, but one I hadn’t taken since going on paternity leave. The train would take me right to the center of town, the stop in the courtyard immediately behind Shifter Towers. I’d made it, and no longer had to worry about being late for work.
Yet other issues plagued my mind. I didn’t think I would ever stop worrying about Odega. I’d never left the house without him since his birth, and those outings were rare. I was a homebody, had a couple acquaintances who were also busy as new fathers, but spent most of my time with my family.
Then there was work itself. I hadn’t exactly left there on the best of terms with some of my coworkers.

Milo
My mate died in a horrible car crash the night after he claimed me. I didn’t know I was pregnant with his child until he was buried in the ground. Luckily, my brother and his family supported me through it all. Now, it’s time for me to earn my keep. I’m going back to work. Not only to earn money, but to have a social life again. Even if just during the hours I’m at my job. Because I’m nowhere near ready for another relationship. Not sure I ever will be.
Yoni
I moved to Saramto to take a paid intern position at the local news station. My first time living in such a big city. And as the time limit on my contract kept looming closer, I hoped to come across something to keep me here. Nothing did. Until I met Milo and his adorable son. Now, I want them to be mine and I have no desire to leave. But my time is drawing near. While I pray for some miracle to come along and let me stay, I must find a way to tell Milo I have to go.

Oh, nice hook at the end of the snippet. Now I'm wondering what went on before he left work that it wasn't such a good circumstance! :-) Nice writing, Jessica!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenna! Found you. :)
DeleteIt's wonderful every week watching for what happens next.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charmaine!
DeleteYour character has so much on the mind! Very realistic...I have a feeling whatever happens next will be something they haven't even remotely worried about yet. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteYou may be correct. Thanks so much, Veronica!
DeleteYes - I also wondered why is didn't leave on good terms with his co-workers.
ReplyDeleteNext weekend...
DeleteHe has so much to worry about, but like Veronica said, it will probably be something entirely unexpected that knocks him sideways. Great build-up.
ReplyDeleteYes, he does. Thank you, Alexis!
DeleteOooh - what happened with the coworkers. Bit of gossip.
ReplyDeleteTweeted.
Probably not what you'd expect, but it will be revealed next weekend.
DeleteI'm curious to know what happened with his coworkers, too. Great hook and I look forward to learning more. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Karen!
DeleteFirst, congrats on the contract! So, I hope he didn't burn his bridges at work. I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Diane! Maybe with certain coworkers. ;)
DeleteSounds like he's facing a lot. I wonder what happened with his co-workers?
ReplyDeleteRevealed in the next snippet...
DeleteMilo has so much crowding his mind, the poor guy. And I, too, want to know what happened between him and his coworkers. Seems like he expects to be the spark in a powder keg.
ReplyDeleteHe hopes all goes well, but only time will tell.
