"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

| MMRM | My Mate, Remember Me by Itwasonlyadream801

***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]

His Innocent Obsession by Blushkisses

I felt him before I saw him. The air shifted, heavy and electric, and then he was there - filling the doorway of my shop like he owned it. Like he owned me. His eyes dragged over me slowly, deliberately, until my skin burned. I told myself to look away, to breathe, to move - but my body betrayed me. Lucien stepped closer, the scent of smoke and danger clinging to him. He reached out, brushing a single petal from my shoulder, his fingers grazing my skin as if testing how easily I'd break. "You hide behind flowers," he murmured, voice low enough to curl around my spine. "But I see the truth. You're trembling for me." My lips parted, but no words came. My pulse thundered, my knees weak, and still I couldn't step back. He leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. "You don't know it yet, Dahlia," he whispered, "but you're already mine." Dahlia Hart lives a quiet life running her late father's flower shop a haven of color and calm in a world she keeps at arm's length. But one night changes everything. She witnesses a brutal crime, and in doing so, catches the attention of a man who doesn't tolerate witnesses. A man who doesn't let go. Lucien Moretti is cold, dominant, and untouchable a man who built his empire on control, fear, and precision. When he learns that the only person who saw what happened is the daughter of a man who once betrayed him, his interest turns personal. Dahlia is no longer just a threat. She's a loose end. A legacy. A possession waiting to be claimed. But Dahlia isn't as fragile as she seems. And Lucien, for all his cruelty, finds himself drawn to her innocence in ways he didn't expect. What begins as a hunt becomes something darker an obsession. One that blurs the line between protection and possession, desire and domination. This is my first book I hope you like it 🤗

Different (Currently Rewriting) by bookswitharaceli

Cover by @Miss_Sarcastic27 (I'm currently rewriting this book, but I am keeping the original version up until I finish the new version for anyone who wants to read it. Please keep in mind that I had no writing experience when I first wrote this and that I am aware that it is not very well written. I'm working on it. I personally did not like how it turned out in terms of plot, characters, and other factors that I won't go into right now, and I'm working on bettering the entire book. When I first wrote this, I didn't expect for it to gain as much attention as it has, and I'm so, so, so grateful for the attention that it has gotten, but it was mainly for fun and to better my writing skills. Thank you all for reading this message and for understanding!) Rayna isn't a normal werewolf. She was born a sacred wolf: a wolf with white fur, stronger senses, and powers. Some might say that she is has a gift from the Moon goddess herself. When Rayna meets her mate: the most feared alpha on the earth, everything goes downhill from there. Read on as Rayna faces situations that no one else should face. Just because she is different. * Highest ranks: #1 in Pack: October 14th, 2021 #1 Different: April 6th, 2021 #1 in Silver: February 7th, 2020 #1 in Terrifying: February 17th, 2020 #1 in Territory: February 17th, 2020 #1 in Wolf: March 5th, 2020 #1 in Beta: March 14th, 2020 #1 in Moongoddess: March 15th, 2020 #1 in Wolfsbane: April 30th, 2020 #1 in Rejection: June 17th, 2020 #11 in Werewolf: April 11th, 2020

LIPSTICK AND LIES by Halloween0917

INTRO They say the line between love and hate is razor thin. But they're all wrong. It's nonexistent. In the shadows on the city's underbelly, and where power is a currency and trust is a luxury that almost no one can afford, two are forced to collide with the violence of opposing storms. She's everything he's sworn to destroy and he's everything she's trained to hate. Their war began in blood and betrayal that's carved deep into their souls before they ever looked at each other or locked eyes across a crowded room. Every encounter is a battle and every word is a weapon. Every glance is a declaration of war. But bodies crave what hearts deny, and when they do they burn hotter than any revenge could. And when that happens every rule changes. What starts as a way to release the crushing tension between them becomes something more dangerous, an addiction neither of them can quit, a need that transcends their mutual destruction. In a world where enemies circle like moths to light and one wrong move could mean death. They'll discover that sometimes the person you hate the most is truly the only one who can save you. Then sometimes the enemy sleeping in your bed is the only one who can truly see you and understand you the most. And sometimes love isn't about finding your other half, its about finding someone who is worth burning the world down for. This is their love story. This is their ruin. This is their salvation. A tale of enemies brought by hate and connected by desire. Ultimately consumed by love that will either destroy them both or forge them into something unbreakable. inspired by the song lipstick by gonedark

The Hybrid by sarahkayy09

I jumped to my feet and punched him in the side. There was hardly an effect. "You're weak" he spat, walking a step closer towards me. I growled as I had had it with this blood sucking devil! My blue eyes fumed in anger as my wolf was released. I am a white wolf. Liam's eyes bulged as he saw my true form. He then smiled ready to fight. I lunged for the bastard, knocking him to the ground. His other minions rushed towards me all attaching me at once. I attempted to fight against them. They kept coming on me and it was becoming too much for me to handle. My fur had gone from a snowy white, to a bloody reddish color. So much blood. I laid down. Maybe just a minute of rest. I saw Liam walk up to me. He looked down at me and smiled. "What's wrong little wolf? No more energy?" He smirked. Then Liam was suddenly thrown to the damp ground by something, a jet black wolf with glowing red eyes. He was beautiful with his gleaming coat and strong legs. The black wolf left Liam on the ground and fiercely killed all of Liam's minions easily. He wasn't finished with his prowl, he turned back to face Liam but realized that the pureblooded vampire had already run off. Then I hear a deep growl. "Mate", and my heart stops. ------------ Alexandra's pack is mercilessly destroyed by werewolves most hated species: vampires. The species has hated each other since the beginning of time. But what happens when she finds out she is half vampire and half werewolf? A hybrid cross species who is on the run from the vampire Liam who wants to use her as a trophy. She meets her mate, Tyler, who is the leader of a ruthless pack called the Silvermoon pack. But will he be able to protect her from the relentless vampire out to get her? ----- My very first attempt at writing a book so be gentle! Many errors and typos!

Lost Without You by oxCJSxo

I watched as he rubbed the back of his neck and turned around, walking away but stopping after a few steps and he turned around to face me, with a smirk on his lips, "With a face like yours, I wish I was blind." And that's when everyone around us burst into laughter. I thought this man was going to hug me and make me feel safe, but instead, he decided to push me to the ground and make everyone laugh. I've been called things and people have said some mean stuff to me but never did anything like that hurt as much as it did now. But why? Amelia Taylor, a girl living a hard life. Always going into hiding with her father and always fed lies from him. He makes her work when he needs the money, not to pay any bills but to try and pay off some dangerous people who threaten to kill her father, he has a problem with money as he always finds an excuse to use Amelia's hard earning cash for alcohol. He controls the way she lives, letting her out to work and ever so rarely to go shopping or go out with a friend. All Amelia wants is to be on her own, away from the lies, away from the people who don't care about her anymore, away from the wolves and those who hunt them.

Rejecting the Alpha by Vielle_

Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget. Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate. "Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge. Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me." (This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.) MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry. #1 in Protective (10/23/21, 02/02/22) #1 in Pack (10/24/21)

Luna by LifeCanReallySuck

Who happens to be his packs Alpha. "My name is Gabriel," I bow my head nervously under his stare. His blue eyes piercing through mine. "You're the one I saved, aren't you?" He puts his finger under my chin when I dont look up at him and makes me look at him in the eyes. I shake me head yes. "What's your name, Love?" My heart starts to get pains and butterflies are in my stomach as I look into his cool blue eyes. I open my mouth and try to speak but I couldn't, so I closed it again. "What's your name?" He stiffens, clearly getting agitated. After a long still silence between us he angrily put his hands to his sides. Gabriel Artic is from a long family of Alpha's, his father being the most well known. Gabriel was the alpha of the AfterGlow pack being the strongest and scariest pack to go against. What happens when Gabriel finds Dawn? Will Gabriel reject her? Can she change him? What happens when Gabriel finds out about Dawn's past and who caused it all? Will Dawn get in touch with her pack again? **** NO COPY WRITE! MATURE AUDIENCES! UNEDITED!
