Employee rivalry. Read a snippet from PIKA OMEGA PLUS ONE #romance #MMromance #MPreg #omegaverse #WeWriWa #8Sunday


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 will release with 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, and remembers he didn't leave on the best of terms with some of his coworkers.


Didn’t help the manager we had was known to play favorites and often pitted all of us against each other when it came to who worked the most and best hours, and who got the best positions. I’d worked hard, more concerned about making money than friends, so I’d secured a favorable status. But after taking my six month leave, I could only hope the manager remembered my work ethic.

Walking in between the rear two skyscrapers, I headed to Tower One of Shifter Towers. NJ Fresh Foods was on the main floor, with the head office for the chain on the thirtieth floor. Apparently, those who were promoted in the company, even at store level, got the chance to travel all the way up there. Though I hadn’t yet. Not even for my original interview. So, that was my goal. I wanted my hard work to be recognized.

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.

  3. Great snippet! I think many many many of us can sympathize as most of us have had those stinkin' managers who played favorites for good shifts. Great job scaffolding the reader in!

    1. Thank you, Sara! Yes, those managers are everywhere.

  4. Wonderful job of sharing his goals with the readers. He has no time for love, no place for romance in his life--or does he? Great groundwork for future conflict. :-)

    1. That question is answered in the book, and it's definitely not something Milo foresees.

  6. He'll find it hard to put work first with a baby at home. Great job of setting up all the challenges in his life.

  7. I really enjoy the normal work-related things he's got on his mind...but in a totally different universe than ours! Great world building...loved the snippet.

    1. Thanks so much, Veronica! I really try to make my characters as relatable as possible even though they exist in completely different worlds.

  8. He wants his hard work recognized. Don't we all? I wonder if the same people will be there when he returns. Will his bosses remember him? I'm so curious.

    1. I can tell you that a lot happens on the first day, things that will change his life. Some good, and some bad.

  10. I enjoyed the backstory. Crossing my fingers that your MC gets the job.

    Keep smiling,

  11. I hope everything works out for him, but there are bound to be complications. That's usually how it is at work.
