Under The Naked Moon A Perfect Double Date
Elena's POVA Perfect Double Date"Okay, okay! Hold your horses!" I grumble, wondering if Alex can hear my internal protests from his honking car. Rushing around my room, I spritz myself with perfume and snatch my things while Alex continues his relentless horn serenade. "Honey, your friend's impatient!" my mom hollers from the kitchen as if I didn't notice. I dash downstairs, bid a quick farewell to my mom, and head for the door."Wait! Elena, will I ever get to meet that handsome friend of yours again?" Mom's voice echoes after me."Eventually. I gotta run, though. He's ten minutes late," I exclaim, throwing a quick "Love you" to Mom before bolting out. I reach Alex's car, and yank on the passenger door handle, but it remains locked. "Alex," I say, knocking on the window. He rolls it down, eyes scanning me up and down.Alex opens the driver's side door and circles the car, muttering incoherently. What's he up to? We're already behind schedule! "Alex, we're running late! I don't want
Under The Naked Moon Blame Game
Blame GameElena's POV "Sorry for the delay. I got held up," I said, not willing to throw Alex under the bus. As much as I'm annoyed with him for making us 20 minutes late to dinner, I know he was just being a good friend; it wouldn't be fair if I put the whole blame on him.Jayson gives me a small grin. "It's okay; I know who's to blame." He looks across the booth, and I follow his eyes to see that he's looking at Alex with a knowing look.Alex throws his hands up. "Okay, it wasn't completely my fault," he defends as he looks between Raymond and Jayson. Honestly, with the way he looks right now, it only confirms that it is entirely his fault. "Elena was wearing a crappy outfit, and I rectified the situation. So, you're welcome," he added, making that feminine thing of yours—trust me, Alex is way too feminine for me, even though I am the woman here.I know Alex is only joking, but a girl's got to defend herself at some point. "First of all, my outfit wasn't as 'crappy' as you put it.
Under The Naked Moon Lust in His Eyes
Lust in His EyesElena's POVI bite my lip and turn to the menu, flipping through the pages. I'm on the page with the salads when Jayson puts his hand lightly over mine. "Order what you'd like, Elena." I was planning on ordering a salad, but not because I'm trying to be "thin" in front of Jayson or anything like that. I will proudly eat pounds of food in front of others and not be ashamed."Okay, I'll order what I really want if you promise not to make fun of me," I told him, and he tightened the hand gripping mine. "I will never judge you. Ever." He said"Okay. I was going to get the same thing as you, but every time I eat a burger, I make a mess."Jayson chuckles, and so do Raymond and Alex, reminding me that they're at the table too. I laugh with them as well. "No, I'm being serious, Jayson! Like, ketchup gets everywhere, the tomato never stays on the bun for longer than a few bites, and my hands get all greasy. Don't forget about the onions." I'm stopped by an amused Jayson as he
Under The Naked Moon Emergency
EmergencyElena's POVI quickly and ungracefully moved off of Jayson's lap, my face flushed with embarrassment as I slid back onto the bench to create some distance between us. His jaw tightened immediately, and his eyes shot daggers at the waiter, who seemed to freeze in place, trembling as he absorbed the force of Jayson's glare."We're still thinking; when we decide, we will call you," Raymond stated, his voice calm yet firm. His eyes, however, didn't waver from Jayson, as though silently warning him to keep his temper in check. The waiter swallowed hard, giving a brief, shaky nod before hurrying away, leaving our table shrouded in tense silence. Alex’s lips curved into a slight smirk, clearly entertained by the sudden interruption, while Raymond kept a wary eye on Jayson. Meanwhile, Jayson’s expression was a mask of barely restrained fury, and I couldn’t help but wonder why he was so worked up. Was my nickname for him, 'Grumpy,' truer than I realized? Could he really be this hot-h
Under The Naked Moon A Family Thing
Elena's POVA Family Thing We pull up to my house in under ten minutes, and I quickly unbuckle my seatbelt and get out of the car. Jayson follows closely, and before I make it to the front door, my mom opens it for me."Hey, mom," I say. She gives me a grateful smile and opens the door even wider to let me in. When she sees Jayson, her smile only grows. Evie begins to cry again, so my mom tells us she's going to check on her and leaves the two of us alone on the front porch."So... I had fun tonight," I say shyly, my voice barely above a whisper. It feels strange how it’s so easy yet so difficult to speak to him. I feel this tug to share how I feel with Jayson, but nerves still get the better of me."I had fun tonight, too," he says with a smile, and in that moment, I completely forget where I am. I forget that Evie is crying inside the house. I forget that my mom is right on the other side of the door. I forget that I'm standing on the front porch of my house, in the dark, with a gu
Under The Naked Moon First Day in School
Elena's POV.First Day of SchoolHello everyone, I'm Elena, a petite teenager with long dark hair and deep brown eyes. I'm just a regular girl who loves her mom fiercely and despises her absent father for leaving us. Little did I know, my first day of college would bring an unexpected twist into my life.I should say I had nostalgic feelings about it. I hardly slept last night; my nerves kept waking me up every 30 minutes. I finally woke up around 4 a.m, but the cold couldn't let me take a shower immediately, I had to steam water before I took a bath. The Minnesota cold is something I still can't get used to, I doubt I'll ever get used to it. It's been three long years since we left sunny Arizona for this chilly place, and honestly, I doubt I'll ever adapt to it. I kept contracting cold-related illnesses, from flu, to sneezing, and to pneumonia.I dragged myself out of bed at four in the morning. The first thing on my agenda was a hot shower to combat the cold. Shivering under the wat
Under The Naked Moon The Scent of a Mate
Jayson's POV.The Scent of a MateI couldn't believe Raymond's persistence. My Beta, my best friend, was driving me crazy with his constant worry about his mate, Alex. They were inseparable, those two, but today was different. It was Alex's first day of school, and for the first time since they found each other, they were apart. And this dude just can't let me breathe. "Where could he be, he is not even answering his phone, he said he would be ending class by 2 pm. See, it's almost 2:30, are you sure he is okay?" Raymond asked in a panicking state."He should be on his way back from school. Come on, stop acting like a child. It's not even that late, It's not like he will just appear here immediately after class, you know how the traffic is these days." I chided Raymond, who was visibly restless. I was growing tired of his behaviour, and I needed a break. Pushing my chair back, I got up, causing it to thud against the wall with a resounding noise that surely reverberated throughout th
Under The Naked Moon Unexpected Best Friend.
Elena's POVUnexpected Best Friend.It's the third day of college school, and my love for coffee hasn't wavered one bit. I'm a bona fide coffee addict, which probably explains why I work part-time at Relax Coffee shop. Today, like any other day, I couldn't resist the temptation of my usual hot cup of coffee. I mean, who can resist that delicious taste and the inviting aroma that fills the air?I grabbed my hot coffee, thinking it would be my trusty companion against the raging cold weather of Minnesota. I was sporting a skimpy red gown, trying to emulate the sexy style of the other girls on campus. But as soon as I stepped out of the house, the cold breeze hit me like a ton of bricks, and the warmth from my coffee vanished instantly. I found myself rubbing my arms to generate some warmth, but I was already outside, so there was no turning back. My beloved hot cup of coffee had bailed out on me, I was betrayed.As I got to school, I couldn't help but realize that I had made a fashion f

Under The Naked Moon Betrayal By a Friend
Jayson's POVBetrayal By a FriendThe afternoon sun beat down with relentless intensity, its heated rays shimmering in the sky. In the lavish living room, myself and Raymond prepared for the much-anticipated lunch date with Alex and Elena. Dressed in my signature black leather jacket and dark glasses, I projected an air of enigmatic coolness, but beneath the facade, a storm of memories churned within.As we readied ourselves, Raymond, my steadfast friend, and Beta picked up on the subtle cues of turmoil. His swaggering approach, almost like a dance, was a silent invitation for me to unburden myself. "What's eating at you, man?" he probed, genuine concern etched across his features, his hand resting on my shoulder.My lips struggled to articulate the inner turmoil, but eventually, I muttered, "I'm good." The hollowness in my response couldn't escape Raymond's discerning gaze. Friends have a way of knowing, and my eyes betrayed the haunting memories that lingered.Stepping into the stre
Under The Naked Moon The Rogue Alpha.
Author's POVThe Rogue Alpha.Deep in the heart of Minnesota, where the wild meets the unknown, the echoes of distant footsteps resonated through the unforgiving wilderness. These weren't your casual footsteps; they carried the weight of something formidable, something primal, something straight out of a survival-of-the-fittest scenario. You could call it nature's unrivalled spectacle, laid out for all to witness.In the disturbed wood appeared a lone wolf, its fur as silvery as the moon's glow, it was on the run.

Behind it, a pack of relentless, ferocious wolves who were seriously giving it a run for its money, an adrenaline-pumping chase through the unforgiving wilderness, every fall.

Under The Naked Moon The Thug
Elena's POVThe ThugBefore I could finish getting dressed, I glanced at the clock and realized I was running late. Immediately, panic surged through me as I rushed to complete my morning routine. I quickly rushed to the kitchen to make my usual morning coffee, but mom already had it done, I was so glad, that I took it and gulped it, I had no time to sip and enjoy it, coming out, I found my mom in the living room, her gaze fixed on me in a rather unsettling way. It was as though she had been lost in some distant thoughts."Mom!" I called her, and she jumped back from wherever dream world she was in."Baby girl, you are done already," she said then looked at the clock. "Oh, it seems someone is already late," she said and I smiled nervously, I kissed her on the cheek and took the lunch she had prepared for me. I didn't like her packing up lunch for me anymore; it felt embarrassing for someone my age, but I couldn't bear to hurt her feelings. Yeah, not taking the food she packed for me w
Under The Naked Moon The Unspoken Truth
Maria's POVThe Unspoken TruthSitting down in the cosy living room after packing Elena's lunch, I couldn't help but watch her as she carefully selected her outfit for the day. The morning sunlight streamed through the lace curtains, casting a warm glow on her sweet features which was just the replica of the teenage me. My heart swelled with love for my daughter—my precious Elena. She is all I have in this world, being a single mom wasn't easy at all, especially in a society that often felt like a men's world. Elena had warned me against packing up lunch for her. "I am no longer a kid mom, and I am in college now." she will say. But what can I do? I guess it's true what they say about old habits dying hard. I just can't see myself stopping, nothing brings me more joy than making lunch for that rebellious daughter of mine.As I stood there looking at Elena, the thought of Paul sank into my head, she reminded me a lot about him, even though they shared no bloodline.
