Hey guys! 
          	
          	I recently received an email from Amazon and the website she had the book on and the one website removed it entirely and Amazon confirmed that she did indeed steal my work and therefore immediately removed it from their system. They said I won't be able to no longer see it on Amazon for 2-3 business days before it is entirely removed but she will not be able to make any more money off of it.  Spoke with my Attorney, Manager and Publisher who stated they felt it was best if I were to no longer post any stories on here.....EXCEPT that I can always post the same amount of 'sample/preview' pages as I do in Amazon and then if anyone wishes to purchase them they can and I would provide the link(s). I have tried to get Wattpad to publish my stories and they have not gotten back to me throughout the years and that is okay. No worries. But that is why I can't post like the others that Wattpad publishes where they can post the first couple chapters and then people pay with coins. Not unless they accept my stories. However, I will not be waiting for that moment to come, since I have received offers from others whom are interested in my stories and besides, I have sent off a few stories already to my publisher and we are working on the next book to come out which will of course be the 'How Alpha Found His Luna'. Again, don't worry if nobody has FB to follow me or what not because again, I will be posting on here nearly everyday and updating you all about things. :)  Once more, I'm truly sorry I can not post any anymore onto here. It's just exhausting to have to catch people with submitting my stories as their own and going through what I just had to, etc. So to avoid the risk, my legal team has advised me not to post. Also, if anybody else discovers someone has taken my stories and did the same thing as this last girl, then please give me a shout out and the info. I hope I don't lose any of you guys and will help stick this out with me as well.

Omg nooo!!  I am so sorry this happened to you. It is disappointing to see one of my favorite authors on wattpad to remover her stories cause someone decided to be disrespectful and steal content. Will you let us know on wattpad when you release your published stores on amazon to purchase? Cause I did purchase your published book, “The alpha hybrid and his Luna”, which was one of my favorite stories on wattpad. Please let us know when you publish more so we can purchase them and support you❤️❤️

Sorry, I know I said one last thing a few seconds ago but I just remembered that I wanted to let you all know that in every single book, there will be a part where I thank others for helping me get to where I am going and have made it to already (including the first book I had published last year). And you all are in that part of the book along with the rest of the books I write. Because it's the truth. Old or and even new followers/fans, I will always give a shout out to you all because you guys still, always make my days better and with the love and support and respect, truly means the world to me. Who knows, maybe hopefully in the future, I can do giveaways or something. Lol. You all help keep me going. So thank you and look forward to continue chatting with you guys rather or not on FB or and on here. Either way, I am staying here and will also try and figure a way to see if I can post some things. I will even ask my publisher if they will allow me to not just put the links on here to whatever books are published and available to check out on Amazon, I will make sure I can post a sample of it on here (in which I don't see a problem with that). Lol. But yeah. :) sorry for all the writing and will check in with ya guys tomorrow (Friday) love you all and huuuuge hugs to you all! :) ❤️

Guys, I wanted to update you that The Rejected Alpha was also reposted so that Amazon can see she also stole content from that book as well. So they both are up there because the links I gave them were to those two and that's the only way they can see them for the investigation. Lol. Again, will still continue keeping you all posted. :)

Wow!! That is awful. People are so cruel and lazy. I hope the catch them. I have been reading all your books in order. Pls let me know when you're able to post them again. Thanks for all your hard work creating and providing another world for us to enjoy.

BettieBurton

Actually, the only one I am able to have posted at the moment, is the How Alpha Found His Luna

The reason I am leaving this one up still is for Amazon when they investigate to see the comments and when those were posted (dates of the first ones) to prove when I posted it on here. For their investigation. Lol

Hey guys! 
          This is not easy for me to say or was even an easy decision for me to make. I unfortunately have to remove my stories due to recent events (another person trying to make profit off one of my stories). I may post them again but for now, both my Manager, Publisher and Attorney have advised me not to have them posted for the moment. At least until we can come up with a different solution that is more secure and safe from having to have this incident happen again. I know these kinds of things can happen in this business, in general (as with any product created) but because this isn't the first time and most likely won't be the last, I have made the decision I have. However, with all that said, I will continue to come on here and check in on you guys possibly daily or every couple of days, in case you are not following me on Facebook or don't have social media. I will update on this matter more as I receive word from my team over here and if/when they say I can post, I will. Also, I will even post updates about books that are published and snip-bits of those as well. I have a few in the works as we speak and once again will update you all when those are up/out.  I love you all and have appreciated all the love and support and patience along with understanding with everything. Hopefully I can repost them again soon, but until I get word it is fine, I can't have them up. I understand if anyone of you guys doesn't wish to follow me on here or Facebook and am hoping you look for my stories when published - in which the stories will either be published in my Pen name: Bettie Burton or under S. Taylor or Stacey Taylor (haven't decided between those last two yet.) lol. But either one of those names, will be mine. And again, will let you know as books are published what name they are under.

@BettieBurton have you considered Kindle?

@BettieBurton hi there
            I am sorry to hear this as from the first time that I found Wattpad I have enjoyed reading your books the emotions, time and effort in each have made me sometimes happy and sad. ( I know that sounds strange)
            I hate to hear that some people would take others' work and say it is theirs.
            Could You not make it like Anroth the author has done? Ie each chapter after six if I remember you get like a couple of sentences but need to sign for the rest of the chapter at a low cost.
            Is there any way you could do a watermark on your stories, I know it would take a long time to do each page.
            I wish that this situation is resolved quickly as I and I think others need their daily dose of BettyButton
