"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

He bends down and I whimper, "I don't think I can let you go. What happened you run and tell in the next three days? You've already seen my face and heard my voice."

The Alexandra Diaries by thefeelsofbooks

*Extract from The Alexandra Diaries* ""From the day that I met you, I have been filled with guilt. And it eats me alive like it hasn't been fed in years. I'm not the same girl I was when I met you, that girl is dead. And you want to know who killed her? You did." His eyes widen, and it looks like his whole world has just collapsed. "And I hate you for that."" Betrayal, death, guilt, mistakes, etc. Almost everyone experiences all of those at some point in their life, but that shouldn't make us any less of who we are. But what happens when those things consume you and follow you like a dark cloud? What happens when the only thing you can think about day after day, is how you're going to make it to tomorrow? It ruins you. It ruined her... DISCLAIMER: I wrote this story when I was 13. It has a lot of mistakes and may not be everybody's cup of tea. Please proceed with kindness :)

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. Xander Sanchez, the leader of the Riot cartel has nothing else on his agenda besides making his ex-business partner pay for his wrongdoings. What happens when Avery is the center of the operation, but it all goes wrong, and now Harley finds herself in a situation she never dreamed of? What happens when Harley is taken and forced to work under the boss? Will Harley be able to survive working under this ruthless man? What happens when the boss finds himself falling for the girl he least expected to capture his heart?

A summary of the story, there's a girl that liked a boy. That boy broke her heart and she became evil. She never stopped being evil and found a new partner. Her partner was evil and helped her in crime. She eventually fell in love with him and they became more then partners.

This is a series book and in the new series I need help on what idea I should do. If you get an idea I'll write about it and remember to tag you into the story. If you have a new character leave about him or her, hair color, personality, eye color, and if he/she's a prince/princess, king/queen, or just a person in a village. Tanks!!! Baiiiiiiyyyy!!!!!

The White Wolf of the Crescent Moon Colony by LanaJay23

Alpha Crane is getting close to what his father and grandfather wanted to achieve for over a century. He will unite all of the packs in the United States under him and allow all supernatural creatures to live in harmony. 10 years ago now, word spread of the white wolf returning. It isn't his number one priority, but the alpha knows what a great ally it would be. When rogues threaten the bounder of Arizona and are harming the indigenous tribes he promised to protect, Alpha Crane journeys to the border only to find his mate, the white wolf. Marlowe knows that she is a weapon of destruction. Her parents remind her daily of why she needs to remain hidden, only to be used in battle. Her father's enemies and intruders to the Harper pack never live to tell anyone where she is and what pack she belongs to. The pack has no allies. They do not accept outsiders. They are virtually alone and people wonder where their strength comes from. Is it the witch living within their bonds, it is their blended pack of coyotes and wolves? No one knows. But the pack has one issue, Alpha Brown only has Marlowe, no male heirs. Marlowe and her family are left with a decision to merge with Alpha Crane's Crescent Moon pack or bend the rules and let Marlowe take over. While love is in the air for many of the leaders in these packs, scientists have gotten more bold with their interests in supernatural creatures. One scientist has taken an interest in the creatures that possess magical abilities and has built labs all over experimenting on them. While half the team takes on search and rescue the other half deals with negotiations and merger deals with the remaining territories across the U.S. Things get dicey when they discover not everyone will yield peacefully.
