Alluring Allies Elizabeth Knox (inspirational novels .TXT) 📖

have a lot on my mind.” What I say to Iris is the biggest understatement of my life. Three days ago, I discovered something that will change . . . well, everything in every way.

“No, Boss! You have to come. The party wouldn’t be the same without our fearless leader,” Iris tells me, and while I’m sure it’s a bit different, my presence isn’t mandatory.

Faith walks behind the bar, raising a brow. “Are you seriously thinking of not coming tonight? What’re you gonna do instead, go eat Chinese alone in your room again?”

I hold up my finger. “First of all, it’s Filipino food, and secondly, don’t diss my mechado. It’s delicious and sometimes I just prefer to eat it in silence.”

Faith puts her hands up in the air in a surrendering way and giggles. “Sorry. I’m only being blunt. This party is going to be the best one we’ve thrown yet. You never skip out on parties. What’s wrong?” I know Faith is only trying to help, but what I’ve learned is something I don’t yet feel comfortable sharing. At least, not until I figure it out first, because everyone will be looking to me for answers. Every single person in the club will be anxious about it and I have to know the next step before they do.

“Nothing’s wrong, Faith. I’m just tired. It’s been a long week, but if you’re so adamant I attend tonight, I’m gonna run upstairs and take a nap for an hour. I’ll see you at eight,” I swiftly respond, rising from my barstool. I head up the stairs and go to my bedroom, shutting the door and locking it behind me.

I walk to the small armchair in the corner of my room and pop a squat, picking up the small white stick I’ve kept on my bedside the last couple days. I don’t know why I keep it here. Maybe it’s because the more I stare at the word ‘pregnant’, the more the reality will start sinking in. Or maybe I subconsciously think the wording will change to ‘not pregnant’ and I’m actually crazy.

At first, I thought I’d misread it, or my eyes were deceiving me, so I waited a few more days and tested again, which leads me to the test on my bedside table. There’s only one person I’ve had sex with in the last month.

Stoney.

I shut my eyes, realizing he’s the father of the boy or girl that’s growing in my uterus right now. We haven’t spoken since that day and have had our VPs discussing things just so we can avoid having to talk to one another. The way it all went down . . . it just got so heated, and if there’s one thing we have in common, it’s our bullheadedness.

I don’t want to be with Stoney in any way. He’s a great romp in the sack, but outside of that there aren’t really any appealing qualities about him. Well, okay, I lied. He ages like fine wine, so there’s that too, but once he opens his mouth, his attractiveness level shoots down dramatically.

There’s one man I’d love to be with, but I know it’ll never happen. He lives in another country and there’s just no way it would ever work out. One of us would have to give something important up to make it work and I’m sure as hell never going to give up being Prez just to be with a man.

Fuck, my life is a mess right now, but if one thing’s for certain, it’s that this baby is going to come into the most loving, supportive family it could ever dream of— the Iron Vex MC. I only hope the streak of bad luck my family has had over the years doesn’t continue. I crave one thing, just a small semblance of normalcy.

I just don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep this secret to myself. I may have only known about this baby for a few days, but I won’t ever let its father take it from my arms, and knowing what I do about Stoney, that’s exactly what he’ll do.

He’ll want it all to himself, because if we have a girl, he won’t want her turning out like the slut he’s said I am.

Authors Note:

E.C. and Elizabeth would like to thank you very much for reading their crossover collaboration event. Obviously, you’re able to tell that Boss is pregnant with Stoney’s baby. We can promise you all that Stoney and Boss’ story isn’t over. They won’t ever end up being forever loves since they clash way too hard and their personalities don’t mesh, but . . . we think they’re going to make pretty amazing parents.

So, this begs the question— when will Stoney find out? How will Boss handle it? Who will tell Stoney?

You’ll find out soon! E.C. Land is releasing Stoney’s Property in May, so keep an eye out for that.

Elizabeth also had Boss cameo in Bet on Me (Royal Bastards MC: Baltimore #1), where she reveals the gender of Boss’ baby. If you want to read it, grab it here: https://amzn.to/2O0rB3h
