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 THIS FRIDAY, and is available for pre-order.
Set-up: In last weekend's snippet, Milo's day went from bad to worse when he had hot soup spilled on him. This weekend, it's time to meet the other hero, Yoni, a paid intern at Saramto Shifter New Network, who was trained by Dannie, whom we met in Bunny Omega on the Run. (punctuation changed to fit the 10 sentence limit)
When I’d originally come to Saramto after graduating from Highland University with a Bachelor of Communications Studies, I’d expected to easily find a job. Especially being an alpha. But it turned out, in this city, shifter alphas were given more priority over regular human ones. And though I’d never seen anyone shift in public, the residents of Saramto all seemed to know who was a shifter and who was not. Namely me.
Trying not to feel sorry for myself, considering the new opportunity in front of me, I headed down to NJ Fresh Foods on the first floor to get a bowl of soup and a sandwich for lunch. I might as well be prepared for when my next assignment was given. Dannie had taught me to always eat when I had the chance because I might not get another break for several hours when covering a story. And I wasn’t exactly one to make my own food. I could burn a pot of water, and had many times.

PIKA OMEGA PLUS ONE
Shifter Towers book three
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.
Pika Omega Plus One is a sweet with knotty heat shifter mm mpreg romance. It is book three in the popular Shifter Towers Series.

An alpha who feels sorry for himself? That strikes me as an unstable combination of traits.
ReplyDeleteHe's not your typical alpha.
DeleteHa I like that your MC can’t cook. I can relate. Something tells me this snippet was foreshadowing that a big surprise is going to hit the fan.
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling,
Yawatta
LOL Yes, a bit of foreshadowing.
DeleteSome nice turns in this story--a shifter/non-shifter romance. That throws an interesting layer into this. You're building a fascinating world, Jessica!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa! I like to change the rules up in my own stories.
DeleteAnd what happens with the baby? While at work, who will take care of the little one? I'm worried.
ReplyDeleteOdega is in the care of Milo's brother, Malone. He's all good.
DeleteLOL - as one who has been known to burn water -until I learned to actually cook.
ReplyDeleteTweeted.
Thank you, Daryl!
DeleteI liked the snippet - the fact he's an Alpha but not the 'right kind' of Alpha was interesting. He seems to be adapting well and not giving up on his dreams...really a well done excerpt. Best wishes on the book!
ReplyDeleteYes, he's all about fulfilling his own dreams, regardless of the boxes society and his family want to surround him with. Thanks so much, Veronica!
DeleteThis is a fascinating world you've created. I'm interested to see how a non-shifter alpha gets along in this world of tigers and wolves.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alexis! I like to change the rules up a bit when creating my own worlds.
DeleteHe wants to be prepared, but obviously isn't!
ReplyDeleteHe tries hard.
DeleteThat he's not a shifter is a bit of a twist in your series, and that he can't cook is sort of endearing too. Can't wait to see what the next twist will bring!
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit of a twist for this story. And I have another twist planned for the fifth story, too. Thank you, Jenna!
DeleteInteresting turn of events. I curious to know more. He can burn water. That made me chuckle. :)
ReplyDeleteMore coming next weekend. Thank you, Karen!
DeleteI like the glimpse into his personality. Can't wait to read more.
