"Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done? I've fallen in love with a man on the run,
I'm begging you please don't take that sinner from me.
Oh don't take that sinner from me."

     What would you do if you fell in love with a criminal? Would you hide him? Would you turn him in?
     What would you do if he threatened everything that you thought you knew? Everything that you've ever lived for. What if he brought out a different side of you?

"Give me the burden, give me the blame. I'll shoulder the load, i'll swallow the shame. Give me the burden, give me the blame. How many, how many Hail Mary's is it going to take?"

     Would you try to save him?

"I don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not. He's good and he's bad and he's all that i got. Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm begging you please. Don't take that sinner from me. Oh don't take that sinner from me."

     Harley Morgan is a nobody. She might be a werewolf and be apart of a bad ass pack but that doesn't make her anything special. She's just an ordinary werewolf with an ordinary boyfriend waiting for her prince charming (her true mate) to come and wag his tail in her direction. Unfortunately, life isn't easy when you're a nobody, and she won't be a nobody for long.All Rights Reserved

Stolen Love (A Cartel Romance) by bubblegumboobs

"What is your name?" I asked, staring into her doe-like eyes. Almost immediately her face twisted in horror. Her eyes switched back and forth frantically like an exit would suddenly appear out of thin air. The sides of her lips turned downward like it was taking everything in her not to burst into a sob. Sure, she was scared--that much was expected-- but I could see the anger. I could see she was furious with me. Interesting. I thought to myself. As much as I wanted to explore how far I could push her until she retaliated; time was of the essence right now. I was staring at an unrecognizable girl. A mistake like this will get a lot of people killed. "I asked you a fucking question, didn't I? I don't like repeating myself." I growled as I grabbed her small face in my hand, making her eye shut in pain. "Harley. Harley Anderson," she spat softly like an angered kitten. Harley. I let her name roll over my tongue for a while. Every second that passed made my vision go black with anger. I looked away from her face before releasing the hold I had on her. I felt my jaw clench in anger and my fist flex in readiness as I stared off in the distance, trying to control my anger from making me lash out. However, I couldn't control myself. She is the wrong girl. We have the wrong girl. ------------ Harley Anderson was an average girl with an almost too simple life before being taken by the biggest cartel in New Mexico right in front of her best friend, Avery.

Not Your Luna (Formerly His Rogue Luna) by Chloexx919

He grabbed me, and I felt tingles go up my arms. I started to thrash around trying to get out of his grip. As much as my wolf wanted him, I didn't and I wouldn't give in. "Let me go, dammit", I practically screamed at him. "No. You're mine", he screamed back, sending shivers down my spine as I began to relax into him. I jumped suddenly scared that if I didn't stop myself then I would never want to go. I knew what I had to do. "I, Emma St. Germain, reject you, Aiden Douglas, as my mate." I sent him a pitiful look as he fell to the floor, through the mate bond I knew he was in pain.
