Lemonade Nina Pennacchi Novels & Stories

"Is it okay if he sits at the back? He looks taller than most of them." "I'll take it." Leon said before Anna could respond when he saw who he would be sitting with. He smiled at Anna and pecked her cheeks. "I'll be fine Mom." "I know." She smiled back, waved and left with Mr Ansel. Leonidas walked over to the seat at the back and slipped into the chair beside the girl who was now pretending to read. "Hello." He greeted her. "You're Nina, right?". "Uh... Yes." She flushed with embarrassment as she realized she'd gotten his name wrong. He was so far off from Prince Jaxon who was a jack ass.

“Of course, I know you well. How can your body cope if you frequently skip meals?” Nina smiled so sweetly that her eyes looked like two beautiful crescents. She had two lovely dimples on her cheeks which made her look extremely adorable. “I’m just lazy. It’s close to exam season and I’ve been too busy studying, that’s why I’ve not gone downstairs.” Anna gently tapped Nina’s head and said, “Your laziness has reached new heights!” Nina playfully stuck out her tongue as she heated up the noodles in the microwave. She then asked. “Anna, did you expose the horrendous behavior of Bryan and Chloe at Madam Dawson’s birthday celebration? Did you give them a good slap each?”

He dipped his head, and stepped to one side. My annoyance at Mason getting the getting the better of me; “My name is Sienna...” I bite out. “Not Luna.” I couldn’t find it in myself to apologies at this moment for my own clumsiness of not looking where I was going. But at this moment I was far too riled up.

I don't know what baby pants are. Nina turns back to Thalia and puts on some gloves. She takes her out of her crib and walks her to the open-plan bathroom placing her on the counter. She slightly pulls down Thalia's pants "Aww baby mama sorry," she says and I try to figure out what's happening "I forgot to put on her diaper last night," she says turning to me and I chuckle remembering last night's incident. I'm pretty shocked we didn't wake up with headaches. Playing mimosa pong because Nina doesn't drink beer was an interesting choice of events. I learned that Nina is a lightweight which is strange for a person who mixes scotch and vodka.

But seeing how Nina plunges into the seat in front of me unbothered due to her black fitted off-shoulder mini dress, has me feeling a bit jealous. She crosses her legs, showing off her black high heels with a slingback decorated with little diamonds. Passing me the cigarette package, she lights her cigarette and passes me the lighter too. Nina is wearing a black mask with silver embellishments, matching her blingy shoes. Her copper-blond hair is tied up into a loose bun while I chose to wear my hair open and straightened.

I don’t want to get in her way. She nods biting her lip. “Perhaps you can wake me up when back?” She says snaking her hands into my back jean’s pockets. She laughs as Jeremy makes the same noise she did earlier. After a quick change and me borrowing one of Jeremy’s shirts we get Leo to drop us off into town. Jeremy calls Louis to get their location and we enter the bar “Moonlight” to find them. Owned by one of our Alpha friends from a neighbouring pack we find Louis and company sitting in the VIP section with a dozen bottles of Prosecco.

I felt awful about it, but in all honesty everything had just happened so quickly that I had completely forgotten. I made a mental note to thank each and every one of them individually when I visited the White Claw pack. I assumed I would at some point in there near future. With my mate being there Alpha and all, it was inevitable. I was pulled away from my train of thought suddenly when I heard the drivers side door open. "Penny for your thoughts little fox?" Maddox quipped, whilst putting on his seatbelt and starting the ignition. "You know, I'm beginning to feel left out. You have a nickname for me, but I do not have one for you." I replied. "What about... puppy?" I quizzed, giving him a

Chapter Four “This is Elaine, Alpha Jacob’s daughter.” He said with a warm smile. I stayed silent but deep down my heart was erupting the flames of sadness. “I am Freya, Alexander’s wife.” She said with a warm smile stretching out her hand for a handshake. I didn’t need the goddess help to know that she was sounding the alarm that he belongs to her. I forced a smile but I had no time to accept the handshake, her hands were suspended in the air. This may seem so rude, but at this point I didn’t care.

Now with the certainty of my own pace among our kind and as his Luna, I've started to think about what our lives would be like if we on day adopted or fostered. “Luna, I need your final word on the centerpieces for the introduction dinner” says Nina as she walks towards me. Reaching out my hand she hands me a small hand full of different pictures and I can’t help but to laugh a little. “There’s like twenty to pick from” she gives me a huff and an eye roll. “Harper, I love you not only as my Luna but as my best friend… but so help me if you don’t just pick one I’m going to tell Nixon about your secret stash of butter cookies” I gasp at her threat and look at her with wide eyes.

She sat down without asking permission, which was why Elena liked her. “There’s something else,” Nina said. “That sentence never brings joy.” “The charity gala tomorrow night.” Elena sighed. “I already hate it.” “You should. It’ll be full of men who use words like legacy and women pretending they don’t.” Elena laughed despite herself. “And?” “And Moretti is sponsoring one of the investor wings.” There it was. Lucian.
