Another new task for Jun. Read a snippet from HIS OMEGA ON STAGE #romance #MLM #PNR #MPreg #omegaverse #8Sunday


Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!

Thank you to all those who visited last weekend! I've been sharing snippets from the fourth book in my Shifter Towers series, HIS OMEGA ON STAGE, which is now contracted to Decadent Publishing. Like all the other books in this series, it is an MM paranormal romance. I'll keep you posted when I know anything about a release date.

Set-up: In last weekend's snippet, Ash had reverted to his teenage self after seeing his high school crush at the record store, while in disguise. Even seven years later, he still has a hard time getting the courage to talk to Jun. This weekend, I'm skipping ahead to the day of AI's (Ash's) debut release and signing. We're back in Jun's point of view, and he has to go into work early, because things aren't going as planned. The first line is Kathie (the owner of the record store) speaking.


“My dad is fine. He should be released from the hospital tomorrow. But most of AI’s security team got food poisoning overnight.”

“Oh, that’s harsh.” I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. “So, does that mean the signing is cancelled?”

“No.” She grabbed something from one of the boxes then shoved it at me. “There’s been a change of plans though.”

**That's nine, but I've included a little more so you can find out what task Jun has been assigned.**

“What do you mean?” I glanced at what she’d handed me, a black shirt and ball cap that both read ADAN Records Security in gold lettering. “What’s this for?”

“You’re going to be part of AI’s security team for today.” She patted my shoulder. “The ladies you worked with last night told the event coordinator you’d be perfect.”

“What? No.” This was a crazy idea. I sold albums and music merch, but I didn’t guard those who made the music.

“C’mon. With that t-shirt, everyone will be able to see your build and all your tattoos.” She tapped my arm. “You’ll be intimidating to most of his fans without having to do or say anything.”

“Yeah, but it’s the others I worry about.” I didn’t want to be responsible for a pop star getting injured or worse because I wasn’t qualified to do the job.


HIS OMEGA ON STAGE
Shifter Towers book four

Jun
For leopard cat shifter, Jun, being the rogue alpha in high school hadn’t helped him as an adult. Though he sometimes believed he was ready to find a mate, past experiences taught him that those he loves eventually leave him. So, he protects his heart by seeing omegas looking for nothing more than a one-night stand. Until he runs into someone from his past.

Ash
As the first omega signed to Adan Records, AI is anxious for the release of his debut album. Being a leopard cat shifter instead of an actual leopard like the rest of his family has always made him feel small and insignificant. But now he’s about to shine bright in front of the world, all on his own, without an alpha by his side. He doesn’t need one, and definitely doesn’t have time for one. Though when he runs into someone from his past who knows him as Ash, he wants to give this alpha all of his attention.

On Stage
But with all the problems that fame brings, will Ash be able to make a relationship work? Will Jun fight for the omega he’s sure is his fated mate? Or will they just let each other slip away, believing what they have just isn’t enough?.

  1. Changes of plan are always great for fiction. They can jerk a story in unexpected directions.

  3. This job upgrade probably won't go the way either of them expects it will!

  4. What a nice twist! And I appreciate a good build and tats as much as the next fan!

  5. From his description, I bet this could be a permanent change in jobs for Jun. Sounds like he could fit the bill perfectly. Nice snippet!

    1. There are many changes to come for Jun, but maybe not the way you expect.

  6. A good portrayal of someone feeling totally out of his depth.

  7. I can understand his hesitance. That's a lot of pressure, but I think he's up to the task! Great snippet! :)

  9. That would be a lot of pressure to protect someone's life. But at least it will get him close to Ash (even though he doesn't know it yet).

    1. For sure! Yes, he's going to figure that out soon.

  10. Great twist! And his reasoning for not wanting to do it makes me really like his character! Good writing, Jessica!

  11. I suspect he'll have a problem with some of the "fans".
    But how did they security guys all get food poisoning? Does somebody want to stop the concert?

    1. His problem may not be with who or what you expect. And the security got food poisoning at a staff meeting/celebration dinner that AI (Ash) skipped out on because he didn't want to jinx his album release.

  12. I think he should sieze the opportunity and run with it! YAY! Enjoying the story, great snippet.

  14. This is could be interesting. I hope he takes the job.

  15. What a great way to push Ash and Jun together - although they might not think so.
