In 1959 Cuba, Natalia San Martín was nothing short of a princess: sheltered, pampered, and courted by her very own prince, a childhood friend turned lifelong love. All that changed on the fateful New Year's Eve when Fidel Castro and his followers seized control of the country, with tragic consequences for not only the island, but Natalia herself.
Five years later, in 1960s New York, she's known as Natalie Martin-living a life that's bleak, but thankfully anonymous. However, when the enigmatic Jack Roemer offers her a job writing the memoir of a starlet on the brink of self-destruction, she sees not only opportunity, but unexpected echoes of a fairytale long forgotten.
As she knows all too well, however, the prettiest façade can hide the ugliest of truths- and peeling back the layers of someone else's past forces Natalie to confront her own.

Fire And Ice
In the Supernatural world lies the Werewolf world. And in the Werewolf world lie packs. Natalia was the omega of her pack with the blood of an alpha. As you can imagine, she was deemed 'disrespectful' and the pack members would try to beat her into submission. Emphasis on try. You see, you can't beat an alpha into total submission. Illegitimate or not. Shifted or not. After her mate rejects her, she leaves. Runs. Hightails the hell outta there. And she promises to be back to tear them apart. This isn't a typical story of how a rejected, wounded she-wolf runs away, finds another pack then reluctantly returns to her old pack because of some useless mission to help them with rouges. Natalia will find things out about herself and her mother that she never would have guessed and go beyond the Werewolf world. There may be a few detours but: she promised to destroy them she promised to make them pay and in the end, Natalia never breaks her promises. Ever. ******************** You can join my Patreon (patreon.com/LalaLand464) for early access to chapters a week before they get to Wattpad.

Back To You
#144 in Teen Fiction 4/8/16 Ten year old Natalia Johnson was the shy girl who usually kept to herself. The only person who could even remotely get her out of her shell was her best friend Andrew Vasquez, who she spent every day with. But one day her life took a dramatic turn when her parents announced that they would be moving to a different state. Now, six years later, she's back and eager to catch up with her old friend Andrew. Finding normality in a completely new life seems hard enough, but with ghosts from the past coming back to haunt her and a mysterious new prankster causing trouble, Natalia struggles to separate the truth from the lies. This was written by a child. (Me as a high school freshman) I am leaving it as is, no editing or re-writing. Read at your own risk. Cover made by me :) ~ ~ ~ "I really cannot see how this story isn't number one yet. It's amazing!" ~Tommy-Pickle- "Omg plot twist extreme" ~5secondsofyrsandyrs "Rereading it and I'm going to miss the characters. I've become so attached to them it's not even funny but it's okay cuz I'll read it again." ~Shaibae1046Concluída
Miss Me Bastards?
THIS WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT WRITING, READ AT OWN RISK! THERE ARE MANY ERRORS, AS MAJORITY OF IT IS UNEDITED. IF YOU WISH TO READ A MORE PUNCTUALLY AND GRAMMATICALLY CORRECTED BOOK CHECK OUT 'Caine's Love' Katy Rose is the name. Rejection is what her life consists of. Rejected by her family: dad, mum, cousin. Rejected by her pack. Rejected by her Mate: known as Alpha of the Blue Moon pack goes by the name Alex Stone. Rejected by her school peers. The day Katy ran away and had enough was the day she made a promise to herself. 'I will be back. With a new life. I will make everyone regret what they put me through. I will come back strong not weak.' That very day she met a new pack: her family, who trained Katy and helped Katy get back on her feet. Soon enough she realised that pack known as the Midnight Moon pack was her family. How does she react when she finds out a secret that could change her life? What does she do to protect her loved ones? Sequel: 'Rise of the Royal Wolf', read this book before reding the next otherwise you will not understand a thing! PS. there is a massive twist at the end of the series which is why I highly reccommend reading both books! _______ All rights reserved.
